Charleston tri-county brokerage
Find home in Charleston — and the agents who know the block.
MeridianCove Realty has been pairing buyers, sellers, and houses across the Lowcountry since 1996. Downtown to Folly — we’ve walked the porches, sat on the back steps, and know which streets flood in October.
Current listings
Eight homes actively on the market across the Lowcountry.
Updated daily from the Charleston Trident MLS. Photos, square footage, and porch counts verified by the agent on the listing — not a third-party feed.

How buying works in Charleston
Four steps. No surprises between them.
Charleston has its own market rules — flood zones, historic-overlay approval, peninsula HOA quirks. We walk you through them in plain English before you write an offer, not after the inspection.
- 01
Pre-approval
Sit down with one of three local lenders we trust. The pre-approval letter — not your search budget — is the number sellers underwrite.
- 02
Search with an agent
Saved searches, in-person walk-throughs, off-market introductions. We tell you which streets flood, which HOAs are leaning into change, and which inspectors miss things.
- 03
Offer & due diligence
Comps, escalation clause, repair credit strategy. Inspection, survey, termite, structural — sequenced so the option period actually protects you.
- 04
Closing
Closing attorney, final walk, wire instructions sent by phone and verified by callback. Keys at the table. We’re there.
Meet the team
Agents who actually walk the block.
Six full-time agents, each with a clear specialty. No team-of-twelve handoff — your call goes to the agent who actually knows the street.

Client stories
Closed deals. Real names.
Every client signs a release before we publish their story. No stock photos, no first-name-only quotes — the people behind the words are real Charleston neighbors.
Walker walked us through three flood-zone questions our first agent didn't even know to ask. We closed at $30K under list because of one of those questions.
Brooke & Adam W.
Margaret’s pricing strategy was specific to my block, not a city-wide median. Four offers in twelve days. The CMA was the most detailed I’ve ever seen.
Henrietta P.
We moved from Boston without ever visiting. MeridianCove FaceTimed us through six houses, sent porch videos, and called out everything the listing photos hid. Trust earned.

Frequently asked
Questions Charleston buyers and sellers ask.
How much does it cost to work with a buyer’s agent?
Nothing out of pocket. The seller pays the buyer-side commission at closing, agreed in the listing agreement. We’ll explain how compensation has evolved post-2024 buyer-broker reforms in the first call.
Do you handle Charleston historic-district overlay approvals?
Yes. South of Broad, Ansonborough, Harleston Village all sit under the BAR (Board of Architectural Review). We coordinate the application, drawings, and hearing scheduling as part of the listing or purchase.
What about flood zones on the peninsula and barrier islands?
Every listing we represent ships with the FIRM panel, current flood-zone letter, and elevation certificate where available. We tell you what flood insurance costs *before* you write the offer.
Can I see homes before they hit the MLS?
Often, yes. Coming-soon and pre-MLS listings circulate among Charleston brokerages 5–10 days before public listing. We share what we hear with our active buyers under NDA.
How quickly can I get a free home valuation?
Drive-by CMA: 48 hours. In-home walk-through CMA with staging and pricing-strategy notes: usually 5 business days.
Do you work with out-of-state buyers and relocators?
About a third of our buyer book is relocation. We FaceTime walk-throughs, send porch videos, and coordinate Charleston-side inspections so you don’t fly down twice.
Which lenders and inspectors do you trust?
Three lenders, four inspectors, two closing attorneys we know by name. We share the list — and the reasoning — at intake. You’re welcome to use your own.
