Southeastern - Best Real Estate Team and Service
Highly Recommend!

"We are very, VERY happy clients of Southeastern Residential, from both a buying and a listing/selling perspective.  Our first experience was with the shopping and purchase of a lot so we could build our dream home.  We contacted Deborah Wingard with Southeastern for help in locating the perfect lot within our budget.  Deborah was very accommodating with the scheduling of lot visits and was incredibly responsive with all our questions.  When we found the perfect lot, Deborah guided us on the appropriate offer to make, and ultimately saved us over $50K on that purchase!  Without her guidance, we truly would have overpaid for our lot.

We also listed a home for sale with Southeastern.  Southeastern has a “Team” approach so we worked with both Deborah Wingard and Elyssa St. Pierre.  They visited our home and spent time understanding all its benefits and the value to prospective buyers.  They did a fabulous job helping with staging ideas and proper preparations for showings.  In addition, they guided us on how to properly price our home and were very transparent with what to expect.  They were spot on with their predictions!  The listing itself was perfect, which resulted in numerous showings and ultimately the sale of our home at a price we were happy with, and in the timeframe expected.

Buying and selling a home can be stressful and daunting, so having the support of a team that is responsive, knowledgeable, and ethical is incredibly important.  Both in buying and selling, we benefited from their knowledge, expertise, and negotiation ability.  Southeastern, specifically Deborah And Elyssa, made the process easy, with less stress, and they made us feel as if we were their only customers!  I would highly recommend them to buyers and sellers!"

"Elyssa St. Pierre handled two closings for us. She was professional and efficient with thoughtful touches along the way. Elyssa’s responsiveness to text messages and emails is unmatchable - I would have an answer back from her in less than a minute 90% of the time.”

-Bob and Amy Haley

"We have sold a home and purchased two properties in the past 6 months, and we are thankful and fortunate to have had Southeastern Residential  (Deborah Wingard and Elyssa St. Pierre) representing us. They are client advocates and conduct themselves with our utmost interests in mind. Guided by their experience, each transaction resulted in better than anticipated results. To boot, these ladies are as pleasant and approachable as they are professional. We would absolutely reach out to them again if we needed real estate assistance, and highly recommend them to others who are buying or selling property."

"I have worked directly with Thomas Wingard with Southeastern  numerous times over the last several years and have always been impressed with his knowledge of Real Estate, construction, architecture, design, and all aspects of the homebuilding process! Thomas is always willing to go above and beyond to make a client happy, even when it requires significant additional work, thinking outside of the box, and using a bit of extra creativity that most others are either unable or unwilling to do. He has always been the consummate professional and a pleasure to do business with!"

“My wife, Blair, and I have had well over 20 real estate transactions in our lives, including 10 just in Charleston alone, using various Charleston realtors, and we can easily say that Southeastern Real Estate  and Elyssa St. Pierre specifically, is at the top of all U.S. real estate agents that we have ever used.  Having been in a situation recently where we had to list, sell and move two homes in N.C. at the same time as purchasing a home (and land) in Charleston, we needed an agent in Charleston that we could entrust to handle everything on time, completely, knowledgeably and professionally – to allow us to concentrate on the N.C. transactions (which were nightmares!).  We never had to worry about any part of the transaction.  Elyssa took care of every step, from the Offer, to inspection, to negotiations (she ‘got’ us everything she said she would!) to closing – and beyond (names of repair companies etc), often anticipating our needs, rather than just reacting to requests.  In short, she took all the pressure off of us and made the purchase one of the easiest we ever had.

Many of our experiences with real estate agents, including our recent ones in N.C., have been quite unsatisfactory and difficult, so we were so pleasantly surprised when Elyssa made every step a “don’t worry, be happy” experience, and the results exceeded our expectations.  We would highly recommend Elyssa as one of the very top  'go to' Charleston realtors."

"Deborah was fun, easy and amazing to work with. We had multiple different options, and with her expertise and professionalism we ended up with the perfect property. She negotiated an excellent purchase for us that was not even on the market. She had our concerns at heart to sell our property and CARED enough to accommodate us in a VERY kind way.

We wholeheartedly recommend Deborah and her team."

"Professionalism, knowledgeable and a Realtor who knows her business and one who empowers your financial goals are all synonymous with Deborah G. Wingard, Broker Southeastern, Company.  We have never met a Realtor with such a passion and understanding of the market place and the ability to negotiate the right deal no matter what side of the table you sit. Always having the right data, better research and always focusing on keeping your interests and needs at the top of her list makes Deborah stand above the rest.  We bought our home from out of state.  Deborah enabled my wife and I to have the highest comfort level with such a major purchase.  Deborah is always at the "ready" to answer questions and return your phone calls or emails.  Without question we would strongly recommend that you put Deborah on your team.  "Great Job Deborah".

"When relocating to Charleston we were given the recommendation to use Deborah Wingard as our realtor.  She was A+.  While we were still living out of state, she would send us recommendations, and listings, and kept us informed of everything relating to real estate in the area we were looking. We planned a trip and spent several days with her, and looked and looked and finally settled on a new home that was in the process of being built.  We were introduced to our builder with Southeastern Homes, and everything went as smoothly as possible.  She negotiated a fair contract and stuck with us during the whole process (6 months) until it closed.  Our house appraised $100,000 more than our contract price.  We were delighted!  We have enjoyed our relationship with her as a realtor, and now as a neighbor.  We would highly recommend Deborah Wingard and her team for your real estate needs."
