Desaray S. Ross is a South Carolina REALTOR®, Notary Signing Agent, and community advocate known for her people-first approach to real estate and service-based entrepreneurship. A proud mother and founder of Phase Three Center, Inc., Desaray brings empathy, structure, and real-world problem-solving to every client relationship. A double hometown native of Boston, Massachusetts and Sumter, South Carolina, Desaray has deep roots in both community and culture. While she has called Sumter home since her teenage years, she also maintains strong personal and professional ties to Columbia and Charleston, SC, where years of work, friendships, and family connections continue to shape her perspective and market knowledge.

Before launching her real estate and notary businesses, Desaray spent much of her professional career in customer service and case management—experience that seamlessly translates into her work today. These roles sharpened her ability to listen closely, communicate clearly, manage multiple clients simultaneously, and guide individuals through complex processes with patience and confidence. She is deeply solutions-oriented and believes strongly in collaboration and partnerships, often leveraging trusted professionals to ensure her clients receive well-rounded, thoughtful support.

Motherhood has been the most transformative role of her life. It has strengthened her leadership, deepened her empathy, and reinforced the importance of integrity, accountability, and standing firmly behind her word. These values guide her work as a REALTOR® and Notary Signing Agent, where clients often describe her as grounded, responsive, and genuinely invested in their success.

Through her nonprofit organization, Phase Three Center, Inc., Desaray is actively engaged in community advocacy and youth support, further reinforcing her commitment to service beyond transactions. Whether she is helping a family navigate homeownership, facilitating secure document signings, or advocating for community growth, her mission remains consistent: to serve with intention, clarity, and care.

Outside of work, Desaray thrives on connection. She values community, meaningful conversations, travel, and experiences that allow her to expose her children to the world. Known for her authenticity, direct communication, and warmth, she approaches life—and business—with honesty, joy, and a deep desire to see others succeed.
