Our company decided after many years of being a Prudential franchisee that they would become independent again and re-name the company.  Our new name is Carolina One Real Estate, still the largest residential real estate firm in the region and more sales than our next 8 competitors combined.  It has created a lot of excitement within the company, and agents have been busily changing out signs and getting used to the new name.  As agents, the company has changed the payouts on many of the commission plans to put more money in our pockets, so that part was particularly welcome news.  It is a great company to work for and there are so many long timers who have made it their real estate company of choice for many of the 45 years the company has been in business in Charleston.  As always, Charleston remains a top tourist destination for so many reasons, and we welcome all of you to come for a visit.  You won't see our old blue and white signs dotting the landscape anymore, now it will be blue and gold!  Take care and much success to everyone out there in Active Rain-land.
