If you don't live here in the area, having a Charleston, SC Real Estate Agent,  representing you as your Buyer's Agent, can be the best decision you could make.  You will want someone who is familiar with the area, who thoroughly understands the many real estate transaction processes and someone who can help you find the home that addresses your specific needs.  Some people are retiring here, some are relocating through their work and still others simply want to move here, because of the myriad of things to do from recreation to dining, historic interests to the arts.  Whatever the case, I can help you find a home that fits your lifestyle and will meet your future needs as well.

As a Buyer's Agent, it is my responsibility to help you find the right home by, first, getting to know you and your goals in the search for a home or land, if you are planning to build.  From that point I will begin the process of creating a search on MLS that is custom-taylored to your specific parameters. Additionally, I will expand my search efforts on a more personal level through my many real estate contacts in The Greater Charleston Area.  At the point that we have thoroughly examined properties that are of interest to you and narrowed down the choices to your satisfaction I will represent you diligently during the offer/counteroffer stage of the transaction.  Remember, as a Buyer's Agent, I work for you and only you.  But, you, as the buyer in the transaction,  don't pay me out of your pocket.  I am paid a percentage of the Selling/Listing Agent's commission, which comes from the Seller's side of the transaction.  Many people do not understand this very important point, particularly if they are first-time buyers.

A good Buyer's Agent...

Works for you - The Buyer - and does not work for The Seller. My job is to find the house or land that you're looking for; not to sell you a house in my inventory.

Acts as your representative and helps to discover flaws in the homes you are previewing. I look for the things you might not see. Some beautiful homes can have damage or concerns that need to be addressed prior to closing.



Answers your questions and helps with the offer and counteroffer phase. When making an offer and negotiating the price of the home, I am there to try to get you the best possible price and terms. Many people are not skilled in negotiation or get too emotional to get the right price. It is my job to help you with that.

Keeps their eyes out for great deals and homes that you might be interested in. I have full access to every home listed for sale in the area. I am constantly on the lookout for deals and homes that fit your needs.
