About Us:

I bring 12 years experience in international business and consulting, plus 9 years experience in Real Estate. I pride myself in delivering "legendary" service.

My engineering background, MBA in Marketing and diverse work experience give me the analytical ability, confidence and creativity to be able to solve problems that may appear daunting to others. I believe in long-term client relationships and use my communications skills to understand clients' needs and deliver customized solutions.

80% of my business now comes from past client referrals! This is what I consider a true testimonial of my service!

I believe success in real estate comes from: 20% sales skills, 50% relationship management and 30% problem solving. To be successful, one must have the skills and competencies to excel in these three areas. I am fortunate in that my past experience has helped me develop these skills, this is why real estate is such a good fit for me, I feel comfortable performing these functions.

Areas of Expertise

I work all over the Charleston, SC Metro Area, from the beaches (Kiawah, Seabrook, Isle of Palms, Sullivans Island, Daniel Island, James Island, Johns Island, Folly Beach) to western and inner suburbs (West Ashley, Goose Creek, Charleston, North Charleston, Hanahan, Summerville, Mount Pleasant) and Downtown Charleston.

My specialty is the Mt. Pleasant market, both in new construction and existing stock. I regularly prepare market updates for my clients and allied resources (see following example). I pay particular attention to Belle Hall Plantation and Heron Pointe subdivisions.

I work 70% with Buyer Clients and 30% with Listing Clients whom I devote my full attention. I have developed systems for buyers - according to their particular situation (i.e. out-of-towner, first time home buyer, etc.) and also an effective marketing system for listings that has allowed my clients to outperform the market.

My Spanish language capability (I am fully bilingual) has allowed me to carve a second niche servicing the Hispanic clients.

Testimonials

"David and I were first time home buyers and we were very nervous about buying a house. We didn't know which steps to take or how the whole home buying process really worked.

Alan thoroughly explained everything to us in a very clear way. Because he was so knowledgeable and organized, we felt totally confident in his abilities. Alan kept in constant contact with us throughout the process and held our hands every step of the way, which made us feel very relaxed. We completely trusted him to make sure that everything was being taken care of and that our dreams were really going to come true.

The first time we met with Alan he was upfront with us about a vacation out of the country that he had coming up, but promised not to worry, that he would leave us in good hands while he was gone. Not only did he leave us in very capable hands, but Alan emailed us and called us while out of the country to make sure that everything was going smoothly! We were amazed at his dedication to us.

When closing day arrived, everything went smoothly and we became home owners. Alan didn't stop looking after us after the closing; he continued to make sure that we took the necessary steps that needed to be done after the process like transferring the termite bond and getting our property taxes reduced.

We really appreciated all of Alan's help, knowledge and dedication before, during, and after our home buying process."

Dear Alan:

Lynn & I would like to sincerely thank you for all your assistance in the sale of our home. Prior to placing our home on the market we interviewed other realtors in the area in order to secure the one we felt would represent us the best.

Your team presented us a comprehensive sales package that far exceeded your competition. However, it was the level of professional experience in assisting us to determine the proper price evaluation that placed Keller-Williams over the top. It was clear that you had done your homework and knew the market well enough to recommend a listing price that far exceeded our expectations.

You stood behind your recommendation, with ideas and suggestions that added value and curb appeal to potential buyers. Throughout the selling process Keller-Williams always contacted us well in advance of viewings to permit us the time necessary to prepare accordingly.

The sale of our home went exceedingly quick (6 days on the market) and we secured full price for our home - almost unheard of in this slowing market.

We were fortunate to have the Keller-Williams team on our side and would recommend your services to any perspective client.

Best regards,

William & Marisa Lynn Pitt

I was convinced that home ownership was a distant dream for me and my family. When I met Alan I asked him, out of curiosity, what was needed to buy a home. His answer was: - "the will to own". Twenty eight later we had become home owners and it only cost us $400 and 4 phone calls, Alan took care of everything else for us.

Thanks to Alan, we now have peace of mind and enjoy all the benefits associated with owning a home, the best (financial and personal) decision one can make in the U.S.
