The Keadle Real Estate Group

Charleston, SC REALTORS®

Our team of agents has an average of 26 years living in Charleston and 16 years of Charleston real estate experience. The Keadle Group consistently ranks in the top 5% of the MLS, so we know our local market and rely on relationships we’ve maintained throughout the years to learn about properties before they hit the market. We're amazed at how many recent closings we’ve had that sold before they ever hit the MLS! In such a strong sellers’ market, getting our buyers info on upcoming listings has become crucial in our ever changing market.

Ask us what we love about living in Charleston, and it could turn into a 20 minute conversation about restaurants, parks, beaches, and favorite spots that only the locals know about! Many of us earned a degree from College of Charleston and stayed here because we were drawn to the laid back feel and outdoor lifestyle. We’d love to help YOU find your perfect home and neighborhood!

Meet our Team

We love working with local Charlestonians, but we also understand relocations. We have many years of experience helping families facilitate a long distance purchase and putting all the pieces of the puzzle together from home inspectors to insurance to closing attorneys (note South Carolina is not a title state). After closing, we love keeping the recommendations coming whether you need a bathroom remodeled or a tree removed. So if you’re coming into the area without much knowledge, we can find the right neighborhood and lifestyle that fits your family based on what is most important to you – whether that’s proximity to Downtown, the beaches, schools, night life, or work.

All of our agents started out with Carolina One Real Estate because it’s been the number one real estate company in Charleston for decades. Being part of the top listing and selling company gives us the opportunity to know about listings before they hit the market. Our company is focused on giving the best service with an emphasis on technology like virtual tours, and we’re constantly trying to better our services through REALTOR® education and training. Carolina One Real Estate has served the local Charleston market for over 50 years and has 15 offices spanning the lowcountry. We have the resources and networking of a large company without losing focus on our clients. As you’ll see below, we all have our specialties and niches that keep us honed in on the local market. Come meet our team!

Lee Keadle

charleston real estate agent

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 Johns 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 in 2003 (which was then Prudential). I chose to work for this company because it was by far the leading real estate company in Charleston, and it had a strong reputation that set it apart. When it comes to my clients, I tend to look at homes from an investment standpoint and bring a perspective to help my folks balance the pros and cons of homes. I will happily talk buyers out of homes due to future resale potential or red flags. I want to help my clients make sound real estate purchases, and I know that when it comes time for them to sell the home years later, I’m going to be the real estate agent they call because they trust me and feel good about the investment they’ve made. At this point in my career, almost all of my clients have worked with me previously, or it’s a friend or family member of a past client. These recommendations mean a lot to me, and I love it when I start working with one set of clients and then get to help their parents, children, siblings, or friends. When I’m not working, I try to spend as much time as possible with our two daughters. I also love being out on the water, camping, and helping with my family's farm in the upstate.

Katherine Keadle

charleston sc realtor

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. Over the years, Lee and I have bought several investment properties in Charleston, and we enjoy working with fellow investors, too. I also have a passion for teaching, which I've discovered is 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

team manager for the keadle group

Growing up visiting nearby Pawleys Island, I’ve always thought of the South Carolina coast as my second home. Now, being able to take my family on a spontaneous 10 minute drive to Folly Beach is a lifestyle that I wouldn’t trade for anything! I love playing tourist, whether I’m taking my twin girls to the aquarium or my history buff son to yet another museum or historic site. I never tire of going for a run along the marsh or eating at the amazing restaurants Charleston has to offer.

After graduating from Clemson University with a B.S. in Psychology, I traded the upstate for the coast and earned an M.A. in English through a joint program at the College of Charleston and The Citadel. In 2006, I began working for Lee and Katherine as their assistant. I eventually got my real estate license so that I could manage our growing team of agents and get more involved in helping our clients to buy and sell homes. I also spend a great deal of time managing our website. At this point, I've been at the Keadle Group long enough to work with previous clients returning to us or help their friends and family - which is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. I’m also thankful for the flexibility I have in my career because I love to volunteer helping the outstanding teachers at James Island Elementary!

Catherine Laffitte

experienced charleston real estate agent

Because of my father’s career as an officer in the military, I moved frequently during my childhood. I relocated to Charleston in 1992 and fell in love with the culture and history, but it was the friendliness and warmth of the people that captured my soul. I got my real estate license in 1998 and spent the early years of my real estate career with Carolina One, but The Boulevard Company currently holds my license. I find it very rewarding to help VA buyers because (coming from a military background), I believe the VA loan is absolutely earned and deserved. It brings me great pleasure to help them purchase a home for sometimes as little as $500 out of pocket at closing because it’s their reward for their service.

Although I live in West Ashley, I've come to specialize in the North Area (Summerville/Goose Creek/Moncks Corner/Hanahan), new construction, and 55+ communities simply because I've learned these niches so well. Having seen and lived in many different areas of the country, I also take a special interest in helping buyers relocate. When I’m not working, I enjoy cooking with my husband. I love to cook for others because it brings people joy, plus it’s a fun and creative outlet for me. One of my favorite parts of living in Charleston is having so many fresh farmers’ markets to choose from!

After moving 31 times, I understand the excitement and stress that come with the buying and selling process. As my father’s career changed, so did my front door. Because of my experience, I chose to raise my beautiful daughters in Charleston.

I’ve lived on the Peninsula, James Island, Johns Island, West Ashley, and Mt. Pleasant. I know the best places to buy, the best spot to catch a game, and the best parks to take your kids to escape the crowds— and if you’re lucky, where to find the best shark’s teeth.

Prior to founding Abode Real Estate, I spent 7 years serving the exclusive community on Kiawah Island. Today, I’m humbled to be helping families just like mine find their next Abode. As a 6-year volunteer of the Leukemia Lymphoma society, a portion of all commissions are donated to fight blood cancers.

Casie Benton

top realtors charleston sc

With over 21 years of experience in Charleston’s real estate market, I’m passionate about helping people navigate one of the most exciting (and often life-changing) decisions they’ll make. Growing up in Charleston, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing the city’s rich neighborhoods and evolving communities firsthand. As the daughter of a real estate investor, I moved over 20 times on James Island which has given me a unique perspective on the local market to share with my clients.

My journey into real estate started early. As a child, I was already immersed in the industry, touring homes with a family friend who was a top agent in the area. It was clear to me even then that this was the career path I was meant to follow. After earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication and a minor in Psychology from Charleston Southern University, I jumped straight into the business and obtained my real estate license.

What drives me is the ability to help others and make their dreams a reality, whether they’re buying or selling. The relationships I’ve built with clients over the years are what make my job so fulfilling. Every transaction is an opportunity to provide personalized, dedicated service and make a lasting impact. I’m grateful every day to work in a field I’m truly passionate about – and in a market that continues to inspire me. If you’re looking for an agent who combines local expertise with a commitment to putting clients first, I’d love to help you achieve your real estate goals!

Lisa Costas

charleston relocation agent

When I work with clients especially who are relocating to Charleston from other cities around the country, I feel that I can really connect and understand what a move of that scale entails - especially when you add kids to the mix! I was a military spouse for over 20 years. After 12 military moves, I returned home to Charleston in 2011 where much of my family still lives.

Born and raised in Charleston, I graduated from Bishop England High School and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science from the College of Charleston. A certified educator, I taught at elementary schools in Germany, Virginia, and Maryland. Once I returned home to Charleston, I transitioned into real estate as a second career. The sense of warmth and hospitality that I learned while growing up here in the Lowcountry are key trademarks in my work, and I love sharing Charleston’s unique traditions and way of life.

Lesley Cole

english realtor in charleston sc

Originally from Birmingham, England, I have travelled the globe and have lived on three continents including Europe, Africa, and North America. Together with my husband and two children, I fell in love with the Lowcountry on my first visit when vacationing on Johns Island. The climate, culture, friendly people, and the relaxed way of life were exactly what we were looking for in a place we would eventually call home.

We moved to Charleston permanently over 19 years ago to support my husband in his residential building firm which established my commitment to the “Client Experience.” I believe this experience is a blend of providing quality and transparency in everything I do for my clients from the first contact to close of sale and beyond.

As a REALTOR®, I love meeting new clients and establishing new friendships, listening to their life experiences, and helping them navigate through the real estate process. When I am not working, I enjoy being with my family and exploring new destinations with my husband. We’ve lived on James Island for 17 years, yet I find myself working throughout the tri-county area especially in recent years as Charleston home prices climb. So I’m happy to help buyers who want to compare Downtown and its closest suburbs or the areas located further inland like Summerville!

Will Moody

carolina one realtor

I was born and raised here in the South Carolina Lowcountry in what was once a small town called Bluffton. I moved to Charleston in 1999 to attend College of Charleston where I earned a B.S. in International Business with a minor in Spanish. I've lived all over Charleston including Downtown, Wagener Terrace, Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms, Mt. Pleasant, Folly Beach, and James Island (where I currently call home).

After years of working in the hospitality industry, yachting world, and various facets of the construction business, I decided to pursue a real estate passion. I was immediately drawn to Carolina One for their industry leadership in the Charleston area along with their hands on training and family driven atmosphere.

My second passion has become pickleball! I volunteer with youth in the area as well as coach adults. Additionally, I enjoy any activity on the water including shark tooth hunting, boating, fishing, surfing, and sailing. I also give much of my time to Camp LUCK, a summer camp for children with congenital heart disease.

Whether your story is just beginning or further along, I would love to help you begin the next chapter! If you are interested in buying, selling or investing, my extensive sales and teaching experience is ready to go to work for you. After growing up in Sleepy Hollow, New York, I then lived in Manhattan, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Hilton Head Island. All have been amazing places to live that have enriched my life, but I decided to move to Charleston because it is a great mix of milder weather, beautiful beaches, remarkable nature, fabulous restaurants, stunning architecture, and a rich culture that appeals to my artsy side.

My 20 years of teaching and real estate sales experience have given me patience, tenacity, and the ability to help many types of people, whether they are students or clients. Coming from a bicultural Colombian background, I also embrace the Latino community looking to buy, sell, or invest in Charleston. In my free time, I relish spending time with my two sons, being outdoors at the beach or the pool, taking ballroom dance classes, practicing yoga, and enjoying the arts. I am a great enthusiast of ballet, Latin dancing, museums, reading, writing, and traveling (my favorites have been Barcelona, Paris, Costa Rica, the Riviera Maya, and West Coast beaches). I am a big advocate of wellness and the values of cultivating health through exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness. I look forward to dedicating my high energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to protect your best interests. My goal is to make your real estate experience one that exceeds your expectations so that you can take on the next chapter of your life with confidence!
