Lee Keadle
I grew up in Clinton, South Carolina, a small town located northwest of Columbia. I moved to Charleston in 1998 to attend the College of Charleston, where I earned a B.S. in Business Administration. I have lived in downtown Charleston, West Ashley, Goose Creek, and John's Island. I now live on James Island.
After taking several real estate courses at the College of Charleston, I began my career with Carolina One Real Estate (which was then Prudential). I chose to work for this company because it was by far the leading real estate company in the Charleston area. Since real estate is a sales business and I never wanted to become a "salesman," I conduct business very differently from most real estate agents. I don't sell houses to people - I help people find the best home for their money in an area that suits their needs, and I leave the decision-making up to the client. My wife and I specialize in the Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, Daniel Island, James Island, and beach areas.
Katherine Keadle
I was born and raised in Charleston, West Virginia, but I moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, when I was in high school. I relocated to Charleston, South Carolina, where I earned a B.S. in Psychology at the College of Charleston. I met Lee in college, and we were married in the summer of 2003. I began working for a law firm where I was a real estate paralegal for four and a half years. I have always had a great interest in and appreciation for real estate, which comes from my father, who is an investor. I also have a passion for teaching, which I quickly learned was useful for guiding buyers and sellers in the real estate process.
As Lee's career with Carolina One grew rapidly, we decided that we would make a good team with our combined knowledge of the area and closing expertise. I became a real estate agent for Carolina One Real Estate in the spring of 2005. I am very thankful to have a job that I love and to be able to work with my best friend.
Mary Glenn Keadle
Growing up in the small town of Clinton, South Carolina, I loved to visit Charleston as often as possible. Charleston offered such a range of things to do that I always hoped I could make my way down to the Low Country and live in such a beautiful and historic waterfront city. After graduating from Clemson University with a B.S. in Psychology, I was finally able to move to Charleston. I earned an M.A. in English through a joint program at the College of Charleston and The Citadel.
Six years ago, I began working for Lee and Katherine as their assistant. As I learned more about real estate, I decided to get licensed as a real estate agent so that I could be more involved in helping people find their homes. At this point, Ive been working long enough to see many previous clients return and work with us again in moving up or buying an investment property - which is very rewarding. In my free time, I still love to roam about Charleston doing all of the touristy things. I've never grown tired of the many museums, historic sites, cultural events, and beaches in the area. And even with all of the years that I've lived in Charleston, there are still so many things that I have yet to see and do here!
Jennifer Harriett
I truly have the most rewarding job of all: that of uniting my valued clients with their ideal home! I graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Psychology, and soon after became involved in my familys business of real estate development and construction. In 2002, I earned my real estate license, and after years as a sales manager, I further expanded my horizons by joining Carolina One. I specialize in representing buyers, and I thoroughly enjoy helping my clients with every last detail that cumulates into a successful real estate transaction. I greatly appreciate each client for the confidence that they place in me as their trusted professional. I take pleasure in assisting everyone from first time homebuyers to seasoned real estate investors.
I currently reside on Johns Island with my husband, Brandon, and our two daughters, Whitney and Harmony. I have lived throughout Charleston and am very familiar with its surrounding areas. Real estate is my full-time job, and I currently hold the designation of being a Certified New Home Sales Professional, as well as a Short Sale and Foreclosure Specialist.
Thomas Davis
I grew up moving around the southeast (21 moves in my 32 years), and my family finally settled in Clinton, SC, which was my fathers home town. In 1997, I moved to Charleston to attend the College of Charleston and have not left since. I met my wife in college, and we have two little girls. Before working in real estate, I was in banking with a local Charleston bank, which has given me an even broader base of knowledge and contacts to help me through each real estate transaction.
Ive lived in almost all of the areas in Charleston County. In college, I lived downtown. Then I moved to James Island, downtown (again), Mt. Pleasant, West Ashley, James Island (again), and now Johns Island. So, I can tell you with firsthand knowledge what it is like to live in each of these areas. Having moved so much as a child and again in my adult life, I can truly appreciate what it is like to come home. I take a lot of pride and enjoyment in finding that same feeling of home for my clients, which is why I hope to always work in real estate. I look forward to working with you!
Caroline Kelm
After growing up in Columbia, SC, I headed for the coast to attend the College of Charleston where I earned a B.A. in Communications. After graduation, I spent a year in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, living the good life and then returned to the Holy City where I began a career in wedding and event planning. I worked for Soiree, Inc. and then McCradys in downtown Charleston. During that time I purchased my first home, and it was then that I realized real estate was an industry that fascinated me and was a career I wanted to pursue. During my home purchase, I noticed the similarities real estate sales had with event planning - being able to work with people during such an important time in their lives, educating them about the process and discussing their options, and coordinating all the details of the transaction.
In 2007, my fiance (now husband) and I moved to Jackson Hole where we spent three years working and enjoying the outdoor lifestyle Jackson offered. I remained in the real estate industry as an agent for Teton Village Realty (now Sothebys) and then as the Marketing Director at Live Water Properties. Deciding to return to my roots, we moved back to Charleston in the fall of 2010 with a baby on the way. We welcomed our first child, Tag Kelm, in May of 2011 and are enjoying life on the coast with our son and two dogs, Clifford and Stella.
Mike Olson
I'm a third generation real estate professional from a very large family of agents, developers, and investors. I've lived from the Chicago area to New England to the Gulf of Mexico's Sanibel and Captiva Islands. I made my way out of the Gulf to the east coast and finally settled down here in Charleston with my wife, who was my high school sweetheart. We grew up just a few houses down from each other where we met at age 12 and are now going on 27 years of friendship and marriage. I began my career here in Charleston as a licensed South Carolina home inspector and have completed over 2,000 inspections in the area. My main focus now is in sales paired with my very helpful and useful inspection knowledge.
I'm dedicated to helping my clients, from first time home buyers to couples finding their retirement or second homes. If you're moving to the area, I also specialize in relocation by finding and interviewing the best listing agents in your area (regardless of where it is in the country) in order to help get your home sold quickly. With the support of The Keadle Group, I have outstanding resources for mortgage lenders, insurance companies, home inspectors, and contractors to make your home buying experience as easy and worry free as possible!
Mike Ciucci
Having grown up in Charleston, SC I know the entire lowcountry and all of its surrounding areas. I believe this is one of the keys to finding the perfect home. A long-term resident of Charleston, I attended Bishop England High School in downtown Charleston, and then later graduated from Francis Marion University with a Bachelors Degree in 1996. I had an additional 2 years of schooling at Florida Atlantic University for computer programming and web design. My course work emphasized computer technology, communication, and internet marketing.
I reside on James Island and have been married to my wife, Melora, for 7 years and have two children, a son and daughter. I enjoy participating in the community through the many organizations which I am a part of, and you can more than likely find me out on the tidal creeks fishing, or at the beach when on family time. My background in computer technology and marketing makes me an excellent source for effective internet listing strategies.
Gray Bailey
I grew up in Southern Pines, North Carolina. I worked in the garment industry for most of my working life. I was a sales representative for Guy Bailey and Associates, a family owned business that sold names like Cambridge Dry Goods, Cutter and Buck Ladies Wear, and British Khaki. I was very fortunate to be able to travel the southeast for my job, since I met my wife in Charleston while on a business trip. She owned a clothing store, Porgy and Bess, in downtown Charleston. I moved to Charleston in 1997, and we were married in 1999. However, I still had to travel a great deal for my career.
After having our second child, I decided to get into the real estate business so that I could spend more time with my family. We have two children - Mackey is eleven, and Hannah-Gray is six years old. Moving to real estate has been a very rewarding experience. I specialize in helping people relocate to the Charleston area, and I have been a member of the Carolina One Relocation Team for two years.
Sheila Grangroth
Growing up in Greenville, SC - a little over three hours west - Charleston has always felt like a second home. The history, culture, and beautiful beaches made me instantly fall in love with the city. Although I knew I always wanted to live here, I still explored a little, and attended college in St. Cloud, Minnesota. After four years of college in the cold weather, and a lot of hard work selling real estate in Minnesota, I was ready to move my career back down south.
I chose to work for Carolina One because it's the top selling real estate company in Charleston. The best part of my job is that real estate is always exciting, and it never feels like work.
Lori Odom
I have lived in the Lowcountry my whole life. My parents grew up on Folly Beach, so I was spoiled by getting to spend alot of time there with the grandparents. Before the corner that now holds the Crabshack, Granny and Grandaddy owned it. It was a beauty shop and gas/service station. I was born in Charleston and lived on James Island until I graduated from kindergarten. My family moved to Summerville to be closer to G.E., where my father worked. I went to and graduated from the fine schools of Dorchester II in Summerville; did most of my growing up there. We spent summer breaks riding all around the city on our mopeds. I live in town Summerville now. I love the train! It is home to my family and lots of long-time friends. You should come to one of our awesome Azalea Festivals!
After attending college, I began a career with BellSouth Telecommunications. There for over 13 years, I mastered building customer relationships and more importantly appreciating their value. I completed the course and got the certificate to be an appraiser. I knew that would be good to have , but I decided I wanted to work for buyers and sellers! The reward in helping folks find their dream homes and investments is priceless. I was blessed to come to work for Carolina One Real Estate in December of 2002. I have decided, that this is what I want to be when I grow up!
Brian Kline
Before starting my real estate career, I worked in the landscape design industry, thus leading to my intense knowledge of vacant land, as well as commercial and residential property.
I am originally from Williamsburg, Virginia, a city also known for its colonial charm and historic preservation. I moved to the area to attend the College of Charleston, where I graduated and received a B.S. in Corporate Communications. As a younger agent, I bring a certain energy, dedication, passion, and a fresh perspective to my clients which simply cannot be surpassed. I am also a member of the National Association of Realtors, as well as the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors. My goal to you is to make real estate transactions run as smooth and stress free as possible, and I guarantee complete satisfaction to all my clients.
Bill and Julie Erickson
My father was raised downtown, and my grandfather owned one of the first gas stations in the city. I was raised on James Island, and I now live on a creek by Folly Beach. Growing up in close proximity to local creeks and rivers provided me with many opportunities to acquire firsthand knowledge of local waterways.
My lifetime of boating and fishing is beneficial to anyone interested in buying or selling property on or near the water. I am enthusiastic about sharing my love and knowledge of the Lowcountry and am willing to show property by land or by sea. I have been selling real estate for more than 18 years, and I am excited that my wife, Julie, has recently joined our real estate group. I specialize in the James Island, Folly Beach, John's Island, and Wadmalaw areas.
Charles Holliday
I grew up in Raleigh, NC and graduated from the University of North Carolina Charlotte in '92. I moved to Charleston in 1995 with an international freight forwarder and attended the College of Charleston's school of intermodal transportation, graduating in 98. My experience in international business allowed me to purchase my primary residence and several investment properties. I later decided to switch careers and help people with real estate full time. This was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Over the years, I have helped people purchase first time homes, many time homes, and investment properties. I am well versed with tax laws and 1031 tax exchanges and the benefits of home ownership.
I dedicate 100% of my time and energy delivering first-class service to YOU, my client. My objective is not only to help you buy or sell a home one time, but to build a strong, lasting, lifetime relationship with you. I want you to be so satisfied with my services you feel compelled to refer your friends and family to me, not by obligation, but because you truly believe they will benefit. You can expect they will receive the same level of concern and commitment that I have pledged to you.
Jack Garbarino
I grew up in Clarion, PA. My connection to Charleston goes back to my great grandfather, William Sheridan, who at fourteen emigrated from county Clare, Ireland to Charleston just two years before the Civil War (or as they say in Charleston "the War of Northern Aggression"). Over the years we always looked forward to our visits to see family and friends and enjoyed the history and traditions of Charleston.
I am a graduate of Penn State University. In my senior year, three important things happened: first, I met my wife; second, I joined the US Marine Corp.; third, Joe Paterno became head football coach. Over the next 35 years I went from the Marine Corp to the corporate world to private ownership and moved my family 15 times. Finally, my wife said that the next move was hers, and that she was moving to Charleston. I could either come along or not! It was the best move of all! In 2002 we moved to paradise. At that time I decided that the greatest business opportunities in the Charleston area were in the real estate market. I haven't looked back! We first lived at Folly Beach and later moved to downtown Charleston. I enjoy showing my clients the Charleston area and telling them of the history of this great city. My past clients say that I'm very professional and make their house search a lot of fun. Come see me!
