A new 24/7 tool that helps you explore the Charleston housing market safely, smartly, and on your own time.

Let’s Be Honest — Everyone Googles Before They Call

Most buyers and sellers start their real estate journey alone, usually late at night, scrolling listings and asking Google questions it was never meant to answer.

What’s my house really worth?
Is now a good time to sell?
What’s the difference between Summerville and Hanahan?

Now, there’s a better way to get those answers — one built specifically for Charleston.

Meet Your Charleston Real Estate Co-Pilot

I call it the Charleston Real Estate Insider, a free interactive tool that works like your personal housing co-pilot. It’s available 24/7 and powered by real data — not marketing fluff.

It’s the perfect place to explore ideas, learn about neighborhoods, and get real-time insights without worrying that you’re “bothering” anyone. (Think of it as a super-knowledgeable friend who never sleeps and actually understands MLS data.)

What It Can Help You With

Ask your Co-Pilot about:

  • Neighborhoods: From Park Circle’s mid-century charm to Cane Bay’s master-planned convenience.

  • Home Values: Realistic estimates across Mount Pleasant, Hanahan, Summerville, and beyond.

  • New Construction: Builder incentives and offerings from Pulte, DRB, and Crescent Homes, and more - plus rate buy-down options.

  • Flood Zones: Links straight to FloodSmart.gov so you can check elevation and risk before you fall in love.

  • Schools: Facts from GreatSchools.org and SC School Report Cards — not opinions.

  • Mortgage Basics: FHA, VA, USDA, and SC Housing’s Palmetto Home Advantage explained clearly.

It even gives you current market trends — average days on market, price per square foot, and list-to-sale ratios — drawn from Charleston data sources like Realtor.com Research and Redfin.

Why I Built It

After nearly two decades helping clients across Charleston, I realized many people delay reaching out because they don’t want to “waste an agent’s time” with early questions.

That hesitation keeps good opportunities from turning into great results.

This Co-Pilot exists so you can research confidently — any hour, any question, no pressure.

Whether you’re comparing Johns Island to James Island or trying to understand flood insurance, it’s a safe space to learn before you leap.

For Buyers

Your Co-Pilot helps you see what’s realistic for your budget, which neighborhoods match your lifestyle, and what builders or loan programs might make sense right now.

For Sellers

It gives you clarity on pricing trends, buyer demand, and days-on-market patterns — all before you decide to list.

And when you’re ready for human strategy, I’ll be here to fill in the gaps that algorithms can’t.

You can start exploring this new tool right now. Just use (and save) this link: Charleston Real Estate Insider.

Ask anything you’ve been curious about: home values, builder deals, flood zones, schools, or what’s really driving Charleston’s market this month.

It’s free, private, and always awake (even when your favorite REALTOR® is finally off the clock).
