Celia Dunn Sotheby’s International Realty has offices in both downtown Savannah, Ga. and Bluffton, S.C. There are several historic districts served by Celia Dunn Sotheby’s International Realty, including downtown Savannah itself, which is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the country. Celia and Larry Dunn were instrumental in helping revive the downtown area in the 1960s and 1970s, encouraging people to move into what was at the time a run-down area.
