Listen to this article

William Means Real Estate, one of Charleston’s oldest real estate firms, continues as a leader in the local luxury market. Last year, the firm celebrated its 90th anniversary, welcomed new agents, represented significant properties, and remained the most established firm at the forefront of the area’s market.

Over the last 12 months, the company has grown to more than 40 agents with the addition of seven new REALTORS® including Jenny Bernard, Marisa Cromey, LeGrand Elebash, Trey Mathisen, Victoria Smith, Andrew Stein and Bradley Thompson. They joined a well-versed and experienced group of agents and seasoned professionals, benefitting from the support of a full-service real estate company.

“It is incredible to witness the growth of our firm after more than 90 years,” said Lyles Geer, President and Broker-in-Charge of William Means Real Estate. “I am so grateful to our dedicated agents and the clients that trust William Means with the sale and purchase of their Charleston homes.”

In the first quarter of this year, William Means represented several noteworthy transactions in Old Village, Old Mount Pleasant, I’On, The Groves, Belle Hall, Daniel Island, Isle of Palms, West Ashley and the downtown Charleston peninsula. Most notably, in March, the firm represented the sellers of two South of Broad waterfront homes on Murray Boulevard. 96 Murray Boulevard was placed under contract in 24 hours and 18 Murray Boulevard went under contract in less than a week.

“Looking ahead to the rest of the year, we hope to continue our success, as demand will drive the Charleston real estate market while the inventory of homes will continue to lag,” said Drew Grossklaus, Director of Sales and East Cooper Broker-in-Charge for William Means Real Estate. “Now more than ever, home buyers and sellers will find that working with a firm with knowledgeable agents and more than 90 years of experience is key to achieving the best outcome for their real estate goals.”

William Means Real Estate brings their expertise to all Charleston areas. They have two newly renovated office spaces in Mount Pleasant in the I’On community and downtown Charleston on historic Broad Street.
