30 January 2025 | BeaufortLifestyle.comExtended Chambers FamilyHelms Family: Jason, Shae, Roscoe, James, and Reedextended Beaufort family. %u201cWhen you live here, you don%u2019t just buy a house%u2014you become part of a community,%u201d Shae explains. While real estate keeps her busy, Shae remains deeply involved in community life. She currently serves as the vice president of Beaufort-Jasper County Realtors and is wrapping up her tenure on the Agent Leadership Council (ALC) within Keller Williams this year. From supporting local schools to participating in fundraisers for historic preservation, Shae believes in giving back to the town that has shaped her family for generations. To this legacy, Bill Chambers%u2019 architectural contributions serve as enduring markers of Beaufort%u2019s growth and preservation. From designing homes that harmonize with the Lowcountry%u2019s natural beauty to envisioning public spaces that invite connection, Bill%u2019s work reflects a deep respect for the environment, incorporating elements that embrace natural light, the river%u2019s presence, and the timeless charm of the region. Shae credits her father for inspiring her to see real estate as more than transactions. %u201cHe taught me the importance of creating spaces where people feel truly at home,%u201d she shares. %u201cWhether it%u2019s a family buying their first house or a couple settling into their retirement dream, it%u2019s about building a life in a place that feels like it%u2019s always been yours.%u201d This philosophy resonates in every aspect of her work, where clients become part of Beaufort%u2019s story. Family traditions anchor Shae%u2019s life. Sundays often mean time on the boat with Jason and their boys, exploring creeks, fishing, or simply watching the sun set over the river. The Chambers Helms household carries forward a love of the water that began generations ago. Whether it%u2019s teaching her sons to navigate the tides or sharing stories of her own childhood adventures, Shae feels a profound connection to the river as a source of both joy and continuity. Community events also play a central role in Shae%u2019s life. From attending the Beaufort Water Festival to supporting local charities, she embraces opportunities to give back to the town that has given her family so much. %u201cThere%u2019s a sense of unity here that%u2019s hard to describe. Beaufort is a place where people show up for each other, and I%u2019m proud to be part of that,%u201d she says. As Shae looks to the future, she remains committed to the values that have guided her family for generations: stewardship, connection, and a deep love for Beaufort. Whether through her work in real estate, her family%u2019s traditions, or her role in the community, Shae is building on the legacy of the Chambers/Pinckney name while creating a legacy all her own. Because, after all, Beaufort is home. And for the Chambers family, it always will be.Keller Williams Chambers Helm GroupPhoto by Judy Ann PhotographyShae Chambers Helms with Dad, Bill Chambers
