Favorite restaurant in Charleston and why?
While Charleston boasts numerous wonderful restaurants, currently my favorite is Chez Nous. Chez Nous epitomizes Charleston and it’s French Hugenot heritage. In order to reach Chez Nous, one must meander down a small, almost unmarked alley in the up and coming area of town to find a gem of a miniscule, perfectly renovated single house filled with ambience and charm. The food is excellent with a very limited menu which changes daily and they do not take reservations. The chef provides local fresh fare and can guarantee top quality. Less is more!
What are your favorite features of homes and why?
My favorite features of homes are twofold. In this modern age of fantastic kitchens and baths, people often give less credence to the formal rooms. Formal is what Charleston history is about. I love formal living rooms and dining rooms with their gracious space, beautiful molding, intricate mantles and fireplaces. Secondly, I love the European feel of Charleston's gardens, often hidden, and many of which are very small. I think it is amazing to see how people have adapted these small gardens into breathtaking manicured oases.
What do you think sets you apart as an agent?
What sets me apart as an agent is my very quick, clear and concise communication. From 33 years of experience in the real estate business, I have learned that although we sell houses, it is largely about people. It is crucial to communicate clearly and often, to all parties involved in a transaction - particularly in this age of digital communication which lacks the expressive human voice.
