We manage long-term and vacation rental properties across the greater Charleston Lowcountry. Our core service area includes Mt. Pleasant, Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, Folly Beach, Daniel Island, James Island, and Downtown Charleston. If your property sits within the East Cooper region or the barrier islands, we can serve you.
Long-term management covers leases of six months or longer, with tenant placement, monthly rent collection, maintenance coordination, and financial reporting. Vacation rental management is a turnkey short-term program with dynamic nightly pricing, multi-platform listing optimization, guest screening, professional cleaning, and STR compliance for Charleston's local ordinances. Owners often start with one and add the other as their portfolio grows.
When you call, text, or email us about your property, a real person responds within 24 hours, every day of the year. Nights, weekends, and holidays included. We do not route after-hours calls to voicemail or an answering service. The guarantee starts the moment you sign with us.
We run a full credit check, verify income through pay stubs or tax returns, confirm previous employment, contact prior landlords for rental references, and screen for criminal and eviction history. Our process is intentionally strict, which keeps eviction rates low and turnover predictable.
Yes. Our buy and sell division handles relocating buyers, first-time homeowners, foreclosure and distressed properties, and owners ready to exit a rental portfolio. Most of our owner-clients work with us in both directions, listing a property they no longer want to manage and reinvesting the proceeds into something that fits their next chapter. Target price range is $400K to $1M .
