Shadrach Hines
I’m a full-time Realtor, husband to my amazing wife Brooke, and proud dad — with one little girl at home and a baby boy. My home is right here in Wakulla County, and I’m committed to serving the people and families who make this area so special. Before real estate, I spent a few years in law enforcement, which gave me a strong foundation in communication, problem-solving, and staying calm under pressure. Now, I bring that same focus and determination to helping clients buy and sell homes. I’m hardworking, detail-oriented, and a skilled negotiator — but more than anything, I value trust and transparency in every relationship. I also serve on the Wakulla County Chamber of Commerce and do my best to be a leader in the community I call home. Every Friday from 10 AM to 11 AM, I host Real Estate & Coffee at The Shack in St. Marks — a relaxed, no-pressure space to meet face-to-face and talk real estate, ask questions, or just connect. Buying or selling a home is a big deal, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is simple: to make the process as smooth, honest, and stress-free as possible — while keeping your best interests at heart.

What Our Clients Say Testimonials
“My husband and I were lucky enough to be put into contact with Shadrach, from Blue Water Realty. Not only is Shadrach one of the nicest people I have ever met, but he LISTENED to us. He was not pushy or ever made us feel rushed. He helped put us in contact with a great lender, he was there every step of the way. Even after the inspection, securing financing, etc, he contacted me with a "I don't need anything. We are on track, but do you need anything from me. Any questions or concerns?" This is the 4th house we have bought, and this was the best experience of all. If you are looking to buy or sell, you can't go wrong with Shadrach Hines from Blue Water Realty.””

The land was adequately marketed to ensure a timely sale and a fair price. Shadrach spoke on our behalf to agencies involved in the process and kept us well-informed. He even met me at the utility company and property appraiser's office when things needed to be done in order to expedite the sale for my mother. Thank you, Shadrach and BlueWater Realty! ”

“Best experience ever! We've been in the market for a new home for a while, but knew it had to be a special place for us to move from the home we were quite comfortable in. We'd been working with Shad Hines and when we found our new place he immediately took us to see it. Needless to say, we fell in love, but we're clueless about the process. Shad helped us through the whole process with patience and kindness that we will forever be grateful for. He helped a dream come true! I would wholeheartedly recommend Shad Hines for any real estate transaction!”
“I would like to say Shadrach took care of me. I walked in the office to ask about how much my land was worth. He said he may have someone he knew interested. My land had an offer within the next day. We worked on the price and closed about ten days later. Thanks to Shadrach he kept me posted all the way through and closed earlier than expected.”
