Lisa's core strengths - market knowledge, branding, buyer/seller network, attention-to-detail - delivered an end result that met all our expectations. Lisa is in high demand, with a full portfolio of listings and buyers looking to make a move. But my wife and I felt like we were the only clients she had. If your Realtor talks so fast you can barely understand him/her, is always harried by the crush of daily life+work, doesn't seem to understand what YOUR needs are...call Lisa Patterson. She's the better option and you'll never be disappointed.
Karen was recommended by my son who also listed & sold thru her. Karen was very professional & knowledgeable. Her understanding of the marked is excellent. Will recommend her to anyone looking to list in West Ashley.

Karen put us in the position to sell quickly and get exactly what we wanted for our house. She is very knowledgeable in Charleston, SC and the surrounding areas. She is also proactive in her communication and will keep you well informed. I highly recommend Karen and would definitely work with her again!
Working with Shawn to purchase my home has been one of the best decisions I've made. I have worked with many realtors over the years but none have been as persistent or advocated for me as well as Shawn did with my most recent home purchase. Initially I was only passively looking for a home and wasn't sure exactly what I wanted or needed. Shawn had a great knack for sending things my way without making me feel pushed or pressured. She remembered every detail I had shared in regards to my preferences and consistently kept an eye out for me over many months. I am sure that my lack of enthusiasm at times may have given other realtors pause, but not Shawn! She just kept finding new homes that met my criteria and kept whittling down the specifics based on my responses to what she sent me. She was so patient with me as we looked at each home and didn't get frustrated when I was picky. Finally she found a home that ended up being EXACTLY what I was looking for- and the funny part is that in the beginning, I wasn't even sure what it was I wanted! But through her efforts she helped me to not only figure that out, but to find the perfect house. When the negotiations began, she gave me great advice on how to negotiate with the sellers AND supported me in my decisions. She fought hard for me when necessary and ultimately I ended up with the perfect house for my needs at exactly the price I had been looking for. I am so happy in my new home and I know that it wouldn't have been possible without Shawn. She is excellent at every aspect of her job, down to the final details and the kind welcome home present she left on my kitchen counter the day I closed. Thank you Shawn!
Rita came to my closing and many inspections of my house as well as the design element of the house. She pointed out things that needed to get done at my house and items that I should be doing IE getting a survey done I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Again terrific communicator always there when I had an question and always guided me in the right direction, I would highly recommend her to anyone

I knew when it was time to sell my townhome in Carolina Bay that Karen was the only person I wanted to work with, and throughout the entire process, she reminded me again and again why she was my first choice. Selling a property can be stressful under any circumstances, but doing it from another state adds an entirely different layer. Karen truly went above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible. She helped me find reliable contractors who did quality work at fair prices, kept me informed and educated every step of the way, and was always incredibly responsive. What I appreciated most was the balance Karen brings to the process. She provides excellent guidance and expertise while also listening to what you want and respecting what you need from the experience. I always felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for me. I couldn’t recommend Karen enough. If you’re looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, communicative, and willing to go the extra mile, she’s the one you want!
