Dee Chaplin
Vice President, Broker, Co-owner

For over 25 years, Dee Chaplin’s customers have valued her direct, honest approach.  Her successful career of absentee owner second home management and real estate brokerage is due to the wealth of knowledge and extensive network of personal contacts she’s developed over the years.

Virtually all of Dee’s adult life has been involved in some facet of our island’s real estate treasures.  Originally from Texas, Dee moved to Amelia Island in 1975.  Her well-rounded local knowledge began with working on Amelia Island Plantation in reservations, the tennis pro shop, and accounting.  She then joined the Dunes Club Company for fourteen years, developing oceanfront condominiums and the small community of Little Dunes.  Recognizing the need in the market, she and her husband, Davis Chaplin, founded Chaplin Property Management in 1984 to meet the needs of absentee second home owners.  Finally, she and her business partner Hugh Williams opened Chaplin Williams Real Estate in 1998, and in 2003 they became Prudential Chaplin Williams Realty.

Dee gives back to the island she loves in many ways.  She is a current member and has served as President of both the Amelia Island-Fernandina Beach Restoration Foundation and the Amelia Island Nassau County Association of Realtors.  She is asupporter of many organizations and causes, including Micah’s Place (the local domestic abuse shelter) and the Humane Society.  She also lends her support to those political candidates that believe in protecting the rights of property and business owners.  Her enthusiasm and can-do attitude are evident in all she undertakes.

In addition to her place of respect in the local business community, Dee’s loyalty, sense of humor and personal warmth has gained her a loving circle of family and friends.  She and Davis have a blended family with a son and daughter as well as three grandchildren in the greater Atlanta area (Marietta), where their son-in-law owns a Ford dealership (Forsyth).  Davis’s family also has historic ties to Fernandina, going back over 150 years.

Dee is an enthusiastic advocate of Amelia Island.  She says, “We live on a small, wonderful island.  Becoming part of the Nassau County community is as simple as deciding your passion, approaching the group or forming a group with the same ideals, and volunteering your time and energy.  I invite you to call or stop by and let us show you how you can be a part of this paradise we call home.”

John Holbrook
Agent Supervisor, Realtor

John Holbrook graduated from Rollins College in Winterpark, Florida with a degree in business and economics.  He made stops in Aspen Colorado and Washington, DC. along the way and eventually settled in Killington, Vermont. He built his first house some 20 years ago and has worked on several mixed use residential developments in New England.  He eventually returned to Florida and settled on Amelia Island 8 years ago. For the most part, John concentrates on of newer home sales in Nassau County. He is always on the look out for residential or commercial properties that make economic sense and offer a financial reward for the end user.

As a Realtor, he pledges to do business according to a strict code of ethics and is a proud to be a member of The Nassau County Board of Realtors. He has been licensed in the State of Florida since 1999 and is a member of the Florida Association of Realtors as well as the National Association of Realtors. Additionally, John oversees the training and educational platforms for all of the Prudential Chaplin Williams Realty locations in Nassau County. As a company, we encourage all of our agents to regularly participate in classes and seminars that relate to our local market.

The thing that he enjoys most about being a real estate agent is researching and identifying properties that match the needs of the buyer. If you are walking into your prospective dream home without a knowledgeable realtor by your side, you’ve done yourself a disservice. In his mind, it’s essential that all real estate agents have an understanding of the Nassau County regulations as well as the history of the communities and the individual neighborhoods.
