John & Erica with Southern Bell Living team helped us with multiple transactions in the past & most

John & Erica with Southern Bell Living team helped us with multiple transactions in the past & most recently helped us sell our home on James Island and find the perfect upgrade on James Island with a huge yard for the kids. They were so efficient, neighbors never knew I was selling, leaving other agents selling properties across the street and in the neighborhood thinking, “What just happened?!” They’re just that good, frankly. Worth the value to reach out to them first. Save yourself the headache of a “meh,” half invested agent with no hustle. He negotiated great deals on both sides and made the whole buying and selling process smooth. They’re also rad. They even introduced me to Kevin, my new neighbor!

Words cannot express how thankful my wife and I are to have been able to work with John Bell and the Southern Bell Living team. We recently closed on a property in Charleston, SC that required negotiations with multiple parties and took months and months to complete. John was with us every step of the way. His commitment, dedication and depth of knowledge were so far beyond our expectations. Realtors are so hard to compare, and John stands out from the rest by a wide margin. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.

John Bell and Erica Zepp are exactly what anyone should be looking for in a realtor!

John Bell and Erica Zepp are exactly what anyone should be looking for in a realtor!

John Bell and Erica Zepp are exactly what anyone should be looking for in a realtor! They handled both the sale of my existing home and simultaneous purchase of my new construction home and turned what seemed like a complex/stressful situation into a simple and smooth deal. They referred us to their lender (Ethan Lane) who was also great to work with and ultimately created a team that could get even the most complex real estate transactions closed on time and stress free. I wouldn't hesitate to work with John and Erica again as they are both exactly what a professional real estate agent should be and more. We are so grateful that they made this experience a positive one and got us into our new home!

A pleasure to work with

Can’t say enough positive things about John and Erica. Their professionalism and dealing with difficult situation was amazing. I have worked with many realtors in the past, but hands down they have been the best. I Steph recommend them.
