📌 SAVE THIS — everything happening in Charleston this June, in one place!

Brandi Carlile at The Cistern. Chris Stapleton & Lord Huron at Credit One. Juneteenth, Park Circle Pride, Spoleto’s final week, Riverdogs under the lights — plus a farmers market somewhere every single day. 🌴

👇 Which one are you hitting first?

New here? We’re John & Erica, your local Realtors in the Lowcountry — follow for the best of life around town.

🐾 (And yes, there’s a dog adoption day at Firefly on 6/20. Obviously we’ll be there.)

What a week! Four closings, three families stepping into their next chapter — and we are so grateful. 🧡
→ We had the privilege of representing both buyers AND sellers this week, and in some cases, BOTH sides of the same transaction.

In this business, that doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when your sphere is deep enough on both sides of the market that the right buyer for your listing is often already a client we’re working with — and the home your buyer has been waiting for is sitting in our listing pipeline.

That kind of trust isn’t something we take lightly. It’s the heart of why we do this!

To every single client who chose us to guide one of the biggest moves of your lives — thank you! Congratulations on your new homes, your new chapters, and everything ahead. Cheers!🥂

When you are ready to make your move, we’re here!

📈 Charleston is in the middle of the biggest transformation in its history!

This breakdown so you can see what’s actually happening across the tri-county — and why it matters for every homeowner, buyer, and investor in the Lowcountry.

It’s easy to see why so many people love living in Cane Bay.

Golf cart rides to dinner, miles of walking trails, resort-style amenities, fantastic schools — and just minutes from everything happening in Nexton.

This home also sits on a private wooded pond lot with a fully fenced backyard, giving you the privacy and space that’s getting harder to find in newer communities.

🐾 🏡 Sometimes the best relocation is within your own city. 29407 is one of the most opportunistic zip codes in greater Charleston right now!

This client — now a long-time friend after multiple transactions together, both buying and selling — has lived in Charleston for years but had never considered West Ashley. The lifestyle here just made sense — and when the numbers and growth underway came into focus, it made the decision even easier.

Steps to Avondale — one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the area — the Greenway extension connecting West Ashley to downtown already underway, and this home came with ADU plans in place. Immediate built-in equity with long-term upside.

This is what we love most — helping clients see value where they haven’t looked yet, whether you’re new to Charleston or have called it home for years!
