As a Charleston Realtor® since 2009, I’ve worked with people and properties of all kinds. I specialize in Historic Charleston, waterfront properties, islands, walkable areas and luxury new developments. This beautiful Lowcountry lured me in more than 30 years ago, and my passion for its history, natural bounty, and our amazing lifestyle here is immeasurable.

Each of you has different needs depending on your phase in life or goals, but there are five things you should expect from your Realtor® that I commit to deliver: attention, patience, integrity, knowledge and communication. Call, email or text me to get started!

Charleston’s 2020 Real Estate Market – The Good, The Not-So-Bad, and The Ugly COVID-19

Charleston’s 2020 Real Estate Market – The Good, The Not-So-Bad, and The Ugly COVID-19

Is it still as surreal for you as it is for me?? Heading into March we were experiencing one of the most active years in real estate in quite some time. Not crazy pricing, just lots of people buying because the mortgage rates were (and are) so compelling. In many markets, our inventory levels were so low, buyers and agents...

Looking to buy a condo in Downtown Charleston or Mount Pleasant? Know the market first.

For many a second-home buyer, or even first-time homebuyers and downsizers, condos or townhomes are great options considering they can be lower maintenance then single family homes and often they are less expensive. Let’s look at two very different markets – Downtown, and Mount Pleasant inside of the IOP Connector. In both, the median price of a condo/townhome is about...

A Real Estate Tale of Three Cities – Charleston, James Island & Mount Pleasant

A Real Estate Tale of Three Cities – Charleston, James Island & Mount Pleasant

Let's take a look at what's happening in the real estate market in three locales: Downtown Charleston (south of the Crosstown), James Island (technically mostly also Charleston), and Mount Pleasant (south of the Isle of Palms Connector). The Spring selling and buying surge is over, and the numbers that tell a tale are in....While the Charleston market overall is basically level compared to last year, we are seeing some changes by area, and while these three areas are vastly different, I think it's interesting to see what is going on in each, all influenced by local and external market forces. 

Will the new Short-Term Rental Ordinance change the Downtown Charleston Real Estate Market?

Will the new Short-Term Rental Ordinance change the Downtown Charleston Real Estate Market?

As of July 10, 2018, the City of Charleston's new short-term rental ordinance goes into effect. After a proliferation of illegal rentals marketed via platforms like AirBnB and HomeAway, the City and neighborhood groups decided a set of rules and a structure to manage and monitor them would be beneficial to most who live here. I for one am glad. The term illegal seems a bit harsh, but the truth is, only a handful of properties in Downtown Charleston have been legally permitted for short-term rentals for years -

What to do in a Charleston SCORCHER

What to do in a Charleston SCORCHER

Gah!!! This June! Day upon days of temperatures over 90 with heat indices of 100 to 115! I usually depend on July and August for that level of torture. But it brings to mind a conversation I frequently have with people considering moving here from more Northerly Climes.  Generally, it goes like this: Nice Northern Client: Hi Kristin – I...

Here are just a few comments from some great clients of mine.
  • ...We knew that Kristin would be good before we even met her - her blog made it clear that she truly knew the Downtown area of Charleston inside and out. What we didn't know was how effectively she would lead us through the home buying experience, or how far she'd be willing to go to make it easy on us...

  • Kristin was the perfect realtor for us-- house selling rookies who had to do most of the selling remotely. She really stood out in the three areas that were important: honesty and integrity, thoroughness, and communication/responsiveness.

  • Being 750 miles away and unsure of what we wanted, we literally could not have done this without her. Every step of the way, she was there for us often sending pictures and videos of progress updates. Through negotiating, selections, inspections, building issues and closing, there was never a doubt she had our best interests at heart.
