About Marisa Cain
International expertise meets Lowcountry hospitality
After a successful career in international finance, I shifted my focus to residential real estate, earning licenses in Massachusetts and South Carolina and a paralegal certificate from Boston University. I bring the same diplomacy, integrity, and problem-solving skills that made me successful in global finance to every real estate transaction.
My unique background includes living and working throughout Europe and Asia, managing teams, and guiding individuals through complex, time-sensitive situations. I was the first female trader on a desk of 52 men in London and ran international financial services operations for Morgan Stanley, London, and Brown Brothers Harriman worldwide.
Now based in beautiful Bluffton, I'm deeply knowledgeable in the local markets and specialize in luxury homes, golf communities, and investment properties. I listen carefully to find the right community and home for each client, and my hands-on approach combined with expert negotiation skills consistently earns me 5-star reviews.
When I'm not helping clients, I enjoy entertaining, traveling, fishing, photography, golf, and cooking. I'm active in the community and love sharing the beauty of Lowcountry living with newcomers and longtime residents alike.

Client Success Stories
5-star concierge service that exceeds expectations
"I relocated from the Northeast to Bluffton, SC in early January. Marisa set up days multiple times for me to see homes in the surrounding area. It was a bit overwhelming trying to determine the right community, however Marisa made it less overwhelming and stressful. I was also selling a home, and it quickly became evident what a fantastic realtor Marisa is. She is a go getter and on top of every little detail; she will let you know what you need and when. She is also very honest. This is when you know you have someone that has your back and the support you need in finding the perfect home. I cannot say enough about the extremely positive experience I had with Marisa and highly recommend you choosing her to find your next home."
"Marisa (Light Cain) and Ann (Walton) are the Dynamic Duo! It Started with Marisa sending us all the latest and greatest listings for months – Then we popped into town last Sept and showed up around everywhere! They were an absolute pleasure to work with, showing us some amazing properties/communities in Beaufort, all the while answering all of our questions, educating us on the area, and genuinely caring about us and what we were looking for. When we found our dream home, they dug in handling all of the leg work, negotiation, paperwork, etc., truly making our experience of buying a house out of state as stress free as possible! If you're looking for Agents who give support, expertise, and thoughtfulness, Marisa and Ann deliver!"
