In 2005, Will founded Thurman Properties, LLC, and has consulted with the purchase of over 50 real estate transactions, while also assisting in the securingof financing. Mr. Thurman relocated to Austin, TX, in 2007 to work as the Director of Sales for The Flagship Group.

After moving back to Beaufort, SC, Will, along with four other partners, formed The Port Royal Redevelopment Group LLC in 2012. One of the many responsibilities Will had was leading the efforts to form a $20M TIF district in the town of Port Royal. This process took multiple months but ultimately increased the value of the property sold well over $15M. During this time, Will worked directly with a partner from one of the nation’s largest municipal bond consulting companies and the town of Port Royal’s engineer and planner to form budgets for this municipal phase project. The TIF district is still in place today and is largely the reason this property will be viable for the entirety of the project.
