Hi, I'm Ross Harkness. My wife Jenny and I have five children and another on the way with age ranges from college to preschooler (two girls, then three boys and another boy?). So, there is never a dull moment around our home. As a lifelong sports and outdoor enthusiast, when I am not busy with real estate and property investments, my family and I are often at a soccer match, baseball game or playing golf. We also enjoy family outings at the beach or lake and an occasional ski trip.

I am happy to be a Carolina transplant. With a few prayers and a ton of research on places to live in the US, we decided to move the family here in August, 2007 after a lifetime of living in Southern California. We could have moved anywhere in the world, but chose Rock Hill and the Lake Wylie area of York County, South Carolina.

In California, I ran a successful design/build construction firm and was involved in many commercial and residential projects with a primary focus on high end residential remodeling and new construction. Despite a growing business, we felt that moving to the Carolinas was the best thing for our family, and what a wonderful decision that has turned out to be.

I feel truly blessed to be in this area. We have found the people to be friendly and inviting, the business environment easily accommodating, the taxation low, the school systems outstanding and an abundant availability of goods and services.

I've found my building experience to be extremely helpful while helping buyers determine value, repair needs and remodeling possibilities.  With sellers, I have helped them to understand the importance of completing the little last touch fixes and repairs that help buyers get motivated to say "YES, this is the perfect house for us!"  Real estate has always been in my blood. So as a realtor/builder, I have found the perfect niche to successfully match my lifelong skills and passion with a career. 

I currently hold valid North and South Carolina Real Estate Licenses, a SC Builder's License, an ABR® designation (accredited buyers representative), an SFR certification (short sales and foreclosure resource specialist). 

I am a member of these professional organizations:  

-National Association of Realtors

-North Carolina and South Carolina Association of Realtors

-Charlotte Board of Realtors and Multiple Listing Services

-Piedmont Board of Realtors and Multiple Listing Services

-Real Estate Buyers Agency Council

With a lifetime of real estate investing, a career as a design/builder and being a committed Realtor®, very few agents can provide the insight that I can while assisting and negotiating for you in a buying or selling transaction. Knowing how to be candid with people without being abrasive, I am dedicated to providing you with outstanding service throughout the process. I will treat you with integrity and care and will remain professional, enthusiastic, available, loyal, accountable, organized, trustworthy, committed, patient, friendly and knowledgeable yet humble during our relationship.  Who knows, I might even make you laugh at times during the process.

I have a strong faith and hope that I may help you with your real estate needs. It is my objective that while assisting you, I give honor and glory to the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Contact me for your next real estate transaction and you will not be disappointed. I intend to provide the service to make you a customer for life.

Thank you,

Ross Harkness, ABR®, SFR

Hi, I’m Clif Ridenhour. I am a Carolina native and would live nowhere else. In the Carolina’s you have it all from the sandy beaches to the beautiful mountains and, best of all, housing is so affordable. I have several friends and business associates that live in high price areas like San Diego and Washington D.C that pay at least half a million dollars for their first home. In the Carolina’s that could buy you a home on a lake or the beach.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I enlisted in the Marine Corps after graduating from High School in Durham, NC. After four years I was Honorably Discharge. I then enrolled in college at Coastal Carolina University in Conway, SC. While attending school, I was also a full-time Police Officer for Horry County. In 2004, I graduated from CCU with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology. I then began my career in real estate in Myrtle Beach where the market was hot. I met my amazing wife while in school; she also had an interest in Real Estate. After we were married we decided to move to the Fort Mill/Rock Hill area. Since moving here we have joined the Wilkinson and Associates team where we have been extremely happy.

Now, why do I like the real estate business? I think it is helping people find that perfect home. I have always been a hard worker whether it was serving our country or juggling a full-time job while going to school. I love shopping for homes and helping people sell their homes. My commitment to you is honesty and availability, if you call I answer. If you want to see fifty homes in one day I am there. If you can only look at homes on Sunday’s at 8pm I am there. I put all my effort into each real estate transaction because I want you to be a client for life and to tell everyone what a great job I did for you. I have expanded my business to a team to give our clients the best service possible. We hope to continue to grow and look forward to what the future will bring!
