About Joe

A Charleston resident for 25 years, my wife, Claire, and I own and operate a boutique independent brokerage built on hands-on service, strong market knowledge, and real investment experience.

In 2025, we closed $27 million in sales and ranked among the top 250 Charleston-area agents out of more than 7,000 licensed agents. We also own and manage a $9 million rental portfolio in Charleston, giving us a deep understanding of residential investment, rental performance, renovations, and long-term property value.

Our contractor license and strong vendor relationships allow us to help sellers identify high-impact repairs and updates before listing, often coordinating the work upfront and deferring costs until closing. For buyers, that same experience is valuable during inspections, negotiations, and post-closing improvements.

I am personally involved with every client and take pride in providing thoughtful advice, clear communication, and exceptional care from start to finish.
