Not Just a Realtor.
A Builder. An Advisor.
Most real estate agents help you find a house and get to closing. I help
clients buy, sell, renovate, and build in Charleston by combining real
estate knowledge with construction and renovation experience. For
many of my clients, the relationship really starts after closing, not before.
Before We Even Look at Houses
Before we start touring homes, we talk about what really matters. Long-term plans. Renovation potential. Zoning. Flood zones. Whether it makes more sense to buy something turnkey or something you can improve over time.
Sometimes the best decision is not buying the nicest house you can afford, but buying the right house with the right potential.
My job is to help you buy the right house and make the right decisions
along the way.
Zoning Analysis
Understanding what the city will and won't allow — setbacks, flood zones, tree ordinances.
Renovation Potential
Evaluating what a property could become and whether the investment makes financial sense.
Flood Zone Review
Insurance considerations, elevation certificates, and long-term ownership costs.
When We Walk Through Homes
I'm not just looking at countertops and cabinet hardware. I'm evaluating the things that actually determine whether a home is a smart purchase or a costly mistake.
Structure & Foundation
Evaluating structural integrity, roof condition, and foundation.
HVAC & Electrical
Assessing system age, capacity, and replacement costs.
Drainage & Moisture
Crawlspace condition, grading, and water management.
Layout Feasibility
Can you add rooms, open walls, or expand? I see the potential.
Zoning & Setbacks
Tree ordinances, building restrictions, and what the city allows.
Renovation Costs
Ballpark analysis to understand what changes will actually cost.
I try to help clients see not just what the house is today, but what it could be — and what it might cost to get there.
Coordinate & Inspect
I help coordinate inspectors, engineers, and contractors. I get repair quotes, evaluate renovation costs, and help clients decide whether the deal still makes sense after inspections.
Zoning & Permitting
I help coordinate inspectors, engineers, and contractors. I get repair quotes, evaluate renovation costs, and help clients decide whether the deal still makes sense after inspections.
Negotiate & Decide
A lot of buyers fall in love with a property and start imagining changes without understanding the limitations. My job is to make sure you know exactly what's possible before you sign anything.
Most Agents Disappear After Closing. That's When I Become the Most Helpful.
Most real estate agents disappear after closing. That's usually when I become the most helpful. Many of my clients call me after they move in for contractor recommendations, renovation planning, cabinets, appliances, permitting questions, and advice on which improvements are worth doing.
I don't look at my job as ending at closing. I look at my job as being a long-term resource for my clients.

Real Client Stories
It's Not About Transactions. It's About Decisions.
Real estate is not just about finding a house. It's about making the right decision. Here's what that looks like.
Dave & Jules
Daniel Island, SC
Brad didn't just help us buy a house. He helped us make it a home.
When we started looking for a home on Daniel Island, we wanted a smart long-term purchase. Brad helped us negotiate under asking price — the lowest price per square foot in the area in over a year. The home later appraised for about $40,000 more than what we paid.
After we moved in, Brad continued to help us. When one of our HVAC units needed replacing, he connected us with a reliable contractor, made sure everything was installed to code so our home warranty stayed valid, and that warranty ended up covering about $5,000.
We still call him whenever we need anything related to the house.

Jon & Tara
Charleston, SC
Brad told us to consider not selling. That's when we knew we had the right agent.
When we first reached out to Brad about selling our home, we expected the typical agent response: "let's get it listed." Instead, he sat down with us and helped us analyze whether renting might actually be the better financial move. He walked us through the numbers — rental income, renovation costs, and what selling would look like — so we could make the right decision with full clarity.
When we decided selling was the right path, we also made the personal decision to sell the home as-is. For us, that was important — we didn't want to put money into updates only to have a new buyer immediately tear things out and send them to the landfill. Brad fully supported that decision and helped position the home accordingly.
We ended up selling as-is, cash, over asking, with multiple offers.
Most agents would have just listed the house and moved on. Brad helped us make the right decision first, then made sure we got the best possible outcome.
