With over 25 years of experience in Charleston's competitive real estate market, I am dedicated to guiding individuals and families through the complexities of buying and selling luxury homes in the Lowcountry, ensuring their personal, family, and financial objectives are met with discretion and professionalism. Currently residing in Mount Pleasant with my family and beloved dog, this community isn’t just where we live, it’s where we built our lives.

As a full-service real estate advisor, I provide comprehensive support to my clients, whether they are looking to manage an estate, invest in new developments, or sell property to purchase their dream home. Your needs, goals, and expectations are my top priority and my consultations are tailored to meet this including introducing you to top contractors and stagers. My focus is always on providing personalized service that meets your real estate objectives.

I’m grateful for my deep connection to the lowcountry, combined with a partnership in my husband’s appraisal business, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing the full spectrum of real estate sales. When I’m not immersed in real estate, I enjoy spending time with my family at our mountain cabin in Saluda, North Carolina. I understand the importance of finding a place that feels like home, and I am here to help you discover yours in Charleston. Let’s connect for a capabilities consultation and discuss how I can assist you on your next real estate venture.

REVIEWS

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure to work with Karla when purchasing our first home and then selling that home 5 years later. She is PHENOMENAL at determining list price, explaining the small details and contract negotiation. She responds to texts immediately, answers calls on the first ring. I can honestly say we wouldn’t be where we are today without her, and we are forever grateful. Thank you, Karla!!!

Karla could not have been more knowledgeable about the Charleston area and the process of buying a home in the current market. She responded quickly to our every inquiry and she was patient while we figured out exactly what we needed. I knew she listened to us and diligently worked to find exactly the right home for us. I highly recommend contacting Karla if you are ever in need of a knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, fun, and tireless realtor. She is terrific!

KARLA LEAHY is absolutely an elite, top-shelf realtor.She is thorough, diligent in all of the details, quite knowledgeable of the current market, and extremely responsive. She took extra time and care with us to gain an understanding of our needs and vision for our Isle of Palms home. She delivers and then some in every aspect of the real estate process.I simply cannot imagine taking any step in real estate in the Charleston market without Karla's representation. No doubt, there can be few of her expertise and genuine passion for her profession.

Karla was thorough and took all of our must haves into consideration with every house she showed us. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfortable with the entire process.

My move was rather emotional and quickly-timed and not to mention, involved moving to another state where I couldn't be present for everything involved in the buying process. Karla was with me every step of the way and took a lot of the stress out of the equation. She proxied the walk-throughs when I couldn't and made sure that my best interests were represented. I could not have done this without her and would recommend her without hesitation.

I knew right away that I wanted Karla to be my realtor. I was selling my first home so this was my first time being on the seller side. Karla came highly recommended from a mutual friend. At our first meeting I was blown away by her knowledge of the house, neighborhood, comps, and identified what some of our strengths and opportunities were. She is very warm and friendly and extremely professional. Karla has this way of making people feel comfortable. It all moved pretty fast and she was there every step of the way. We got an offer on the first day that it showed! Karla and her team helped us tremendously with all of the not so fun stuff after you receive an offer. Her responsiveness is really quick. You can tell that Karla loves her job and loves working with people. I highly recommend Karla Leahy to anyone selling or buying their home.

Karla was indispensable during our new build purchase process. We were purchasing from out of state and Karla was always there for us, following up with the builder and our lender, ensuring the process was smooth and hassle free. We will definitely do business again, highly recommended.

Karla did an outstanding job in advising and directing us through the real estate market in Mt Pleasant. She understood our housing needs and was very patient throughout the process. She always responded quickly and either knew the answer to our questions or found out the information we needed. Karla was very helpful throughout the contracting process and resolved any issues/questions very quickly. She provided recommendations for local service contractors that is very helpful during the moving process. Karla did a great job making sure that we felt comfortable and informed during the entire search and buying process.

Karla Leahy helped us buy our house in West Ashley 3 years ago, and then helped us sell it a couple of months ago- she was very well versed in the details of the Charleston housing market, professional but personable and enthusiastic, walked us through the process both times and made what could have been a stressful event pleasant and smooth. She was always available when we had questions and concerns, and we sensed that she was always our advocate. Would highly recommend Karla for your real estate needs.
