The Real Buyer’s Agent

David and his team are super professional and personable. He is very knowledgeable of the Charleston area and he went meticulously through all of the details of home buying. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone in the area!

This is the absolute best way to go when buying a house in charleston! We used Charlotte lemon who was amazing! She represented us to the best of her ability and protected our interest. Unfortunately it seems like Carolina one really monopolizes the charleston area. This being the case you do want someone to catch any kind of shadiness or squirrelly real estate agents looking to take advantage.

David Kent helped me and my husband purchase our first house about two months ago. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience and working with David made it SO much easier than we expected!
David embodied two things that you absolutely must have in a relationship with a Realtor – trust and communication. I don’t think I ever went more than 4 hours without getting a response to an email or phone call. David recommended other great services, including our closing attorney and home inspector who we had great experiences with as well. We were pretty «high needs» buyer who wanted to be kept in the loop constantly, so this communication helped us feel at ease.
We didn’t actually look for houses with David since we had been really rigorously watching the MLS and knew «our» house when we saw it, but David did a VERY thorough hunt for comparable properties to make sure our offer was solid. In negotiations, he helped us get the price down even further (another critical reason to go with an exclusive buyer’s agent!!!). He negotiated with the sellers agent and we wound up with a home warranty AND $ 5k of closing costs covered by the sellers. I don’t believe any other Realtor would have worked that hard for us and it has made all the difference!
I couldn’t recommend David or his associates at The Real Buyer’s Agent enough. We couldn’t have taken this huge, life-​changing step for our family without his guidance.

I have to agree with the other reviewer — Buyer’s Agents are the ONLY way to go.
We were considering moving to Charleston and were so lucky to find Chuck Stark at Real Buyer’s.
We were house hunting in Portland and had several bad experiences with brokers. Now we understand why — we thought they were representing us but they were really trying to represent both sides.
Chuck was AMAZING! He helped us understand why his service was different and what we weren’t getting from our other brokers.
Chuck and I had tons of communication before our move — speaking many times over the phone and exchanging emails. He put a lot of prep work into our trip by reviewing our wish list, discussing his process with us and educating us about the Charleston market.
Once we arrived in Charleston, we hit the ground running. Chuck helped us narrow down our neighborhood of choice with a tour of absolutely every nook and cranny of Mt. Pleasant. He was part agent & part tour guide.
We drove by or saw every, and I mean EVERY, house that matched our criteria.
We made an offer and once again, Chuck went to bat for us making sure we got the best possible deal and looking out for our interests, even when the seller wanted to take the curtain rods after we had a signed contract.
His network of closing lawyers and mortgage lenders is deep — make sure you see Michelle Long at Homeowner’s Mortgage — and that really is the icing on the cake.
We eventually decided to stay in Portland but we will certainly miss the opportunity to work with Chuck.
He’s set the bar awfully high…

These guys are the ONLY way to go when looking for a home. The advantage of a buyer’s agent is that they don’t take listings and are only looking to find the right house for YOU, without trying to push a house on you for a commission. And keep in mind this is at no cost to you!
David Kent was awesome. Spent so much time lining up the houses that I wanted to see and helped educate me so much on the home buying experience (I was a first-​time homebuyer). He helped tell me what to look for in home inspections and made sure that the entire process went smoothly.
Can’t ask for a better agent or agency. Highly recommended!
