Report
I was referred to Chris and Dawn by a friend and couldn't be more grateful. Coming from the west coast, the thought of buying a home in a brand new town (not to mention side of the country) was very intimidating, but Chris and Dawn made it easy and ENJOYABLE. They spent numerous hours/days/weeks making sure I saw then entire Charleston and surrounding areas until it was very clear what areas we would narrow our search to. On the first "tour" day, I felt like they both really understood what I was looking for and my tastes. I also really appreciated that I never felt like a burden

We had a great experience working with Dawn and Chris when we were looking to buy our first home after moving from NYC. The market was beyond competitive and I wanted to give up but they were compassionate, resilient, supportive and guided us through the whole process resulting in us finding our dream home! Highly recommend connecting with them - wonderful people!
