Two Duplexes, Two Strategies, One Market Expert

This week I had the privilege of representing two different sellers in downtown Charleston—each listing a duplex, each with a very different investment strategy in mind.

One was a fully renovated property ideal for a turnkey investor seeking immediate rental income. The other offered classic bones and the opportunity to renovate into single family and sell for a return on their investment.

While the strategies were different, one thing was the same: the need for a deep understanding of the downtown Charleston market. Having sold over 70 properties Downtown, I pride myself in having an intrinsic knowledge that helps me get the best possible deal for my clients.

From accurately pricing each property to anticipating how buyers would analyze ROI, rental potential, and long-term equity growth—I leaned heavily on my experience navigating the nuances of our historic neighborhoods.

In a market as layered and localized as downtown Charleston, there’s no substitute for boots-on-the-ground insight. Knowing which streets command a premium, how zoning rules affect value, and what comparable sales really mean for your property—that’s where deals are won.

If you’re thinking about selling or investing in downtown Charleston, strategy matters. So does your representation.
