Herb - Real Estate Agent

About me

I have lived in Charleston, SC since 1978 and have lived on James Island and in West Ashley. My wife and I raised our four children in Charleston and they are now grown and married and we have eleven grandchildren. I am an Eagle Scout and served as a scoutmaster for about twenty years, including three trips to the National Scout Jamboree. I currently serve as an officer in my church and teach Sunday school.

Previously, I have been a top producer in pharmaceutical sales and was named as a REALTOR® of Distinction for 2013 and 2015 by the Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS® and 2013 International Sterling Society member and 2015 International Diamond Society member for Coldwell Banker. I can use my professional expertise, knowledge, listener skills and experience in customer service to help you meet your goals, whether you desire to sell your home or purchase a home. Your total satisfaction is my top priority!

I have coordinated transactions for buyers and sellers throughout the tri-county area (Charleston, Berkeley, Dorchester counties), with most of my work in Summerville, North Charleston, West Ashley, Goose Creek and Moncks Corner. I particularly enjoy working with first-time home buyers, active-duty and retired military, and seniors. In order to serve those people best, I have taken certifications as a Military Relocation Professional (MRP®), Seniors Real Estate Professional (SRES®), Seller Representative Specialist (SRS®) and Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR®). I am committed to utilizing the same strengths as a Realtor® that I used for a very successful career in pharmaceutical sales - communication skills, professionalism and integrity. Please contact me for your real estate needs and I will put my people skills to work for you to make your buying or selling experience special!

From a military client, K.J.:

Bought a Single Family home in 2018 in Goose Creek, SC."Herb's personality is that of a old friend who is always happy to caught up on conversation with you! An outstanding and good man! His professional demeanor is top notch! He was very helpful and knowledgeable when my wife and I bought our first home! He had no problem explaining any questions we asked. I will always recommend Herb to any of my family members, friends, and/or colleagues!"

From a military client and first-time home buyer, E.L.:

Bought a Single Family home in 2018 in Summerville, SC."Being new to the Charleston area and first time home buyers, Herb made the experience personable and memorable. He was absolutely fantastic to work with and his knowledge of the area and home buying process was remarkable. He helped guide us through every step along the way to closing and when we had questions he was very prompt with responses. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home."

From a client who bought and later sold their home with me, B.P.:

Bought (2015) and sold a Single Family home (2018) in Ladson, SC."Herb is knowledgeable and kind, and his work is detailed and effective. He helped us to find our perfect home despite weeks of searching online. He also helped us to sell our home quickly, despite some undesirable features (e.g. small backyard). He will help you through every step of the way, connecting you with other help (e.g. lawyers, mortgage brokers, contractors, etc.). And above all, he is honest, hard-working, and will tell you what needs to be done to sell your home. He will respond immediately if you reach out to him with any sort of question - even if he is recovering from a major surgery! Your interests are always #1 - he doesn’t work for the juicy commission. Herb is truly 1-in-a-million!"

From a buyer client (2021), D.S.:

""I received Herb as my buyer's agent through the my credit union's mortgage program originally. Herb took my pre-approval letter and immediately set to work helping me start looking for homes the day after thanksgiving (Friday) while he was on vacation with family. Knowing how hot the market was and how quickly homes were going off the market, Herb shortened his personal family vacation a day and 8 hours from out of state (Saturday) and showed me and my then girlfriend (now wife) homes we were interested in the same day, going into the evening. He was honest on home condition, his opinion on specific communities' outlooks and what would best fit our needs. On the first day of showings were saw 3 homes and were immediately sold on a townhome in Goose Creek (which we ended up purchasing). Very early on my credit union disclosed they would not be able to meet the loan closing date; Herb suggested a in house mortgage option who was able to secure me a lower interest rate and meet the closing date. Herb also worked diligently with me and my supervisor to secure documentation necessary to get final loan approval when having issues with proof of income since I was recently finishing college (23 y/o) and had just started working full time again. Herb provided exceptional recommendations for home inspectors, attorneys and other professionals that made the closing process painless and made me feel secure on the decision I was making. I recommended Herb to my brother who was also looking for a home shortly after I was and he also had a similarly wonderful experience in buying his first home. I would absolutely 100% recommend Herb to anyone friends, family, or other. Herb has a gem of a character and I wish him nothing but the best. I will assuredly use him for any future real estate purchases I make in the future!"
