About Brian Walsh

I don't just sell
Downtown Charleston.
I live here.

I'm Brian Walsh, a Downtown Charleston Realtor with William Means Real Estate, helping buyers and sellers on the peninsula since 2008. I live South of Broad. I know which blocks flood, which ones don't, which piazzas catch the afternoon light, and which historic homes are actually worth what they're asking.

For Sellers

Historic homes deserve
a historic market expert.

Pricing a historic home on the peninsula takes more than comps. Flood zones, BAR approvals, and what's behind the plaster all move the number. I've done this here, specifically, since 2008.

Although we ultimately were not interested in that property, we liked Brian immediately. He was more than a guy just hustling for a sale. As we were from out of town, he took the time to explain to two strangers a lot of the nuances of the housing market in Charleston. Negotiating with the seller went quickly as he gave us good counsel as to where we should offer and we got the unit at a price point that we were very happy about. As we were from out of town, and post contract, Brian was THE MAN. I could not imagine anyone who could guide us and then be our point person any better than Brian was. And even though it has only been a short time since closing, he is not one of those agents who gets their commission and forgets about us."

"After we dropped our youngest son off at college, my wife and I visited three cities - Charleston, Savannah, and Wilmington to decide where to relocate. We met real estate agents in each city and they took us into a few homes. This was our first visit, and our goal was modest: to eliminate one or two of the cities from consideration. We would then look more closely at neighborhoods and homes on subsequent visits. Brian Walsh spent a day-and-a-half with us and showed us several appealing neighborhoods. We only went inside one home and here's the weird part - we bought it! Our day-and-a-half, plus our visits to the other two cities, sold us on Charleston and on the south-of-Broad neighborhood. Brian arranged for the builder to meet us, and he sold us on the house. What we expected would be a six-to-eight month process took less than a month from the day we drove into Charleston until we closed on the house. We had real estate contacts in the other two cities, but we chose Brian based solely on the recommendations (like this one) on Zillow. It was a fortuitous choice. Of the three agents, he was the best fit for our needs. He stood out because he asked pointed questions and he listened to our answers. He took the time to understand our background, our needs, and our goals. He did this while showing us real estate listings and neighborhoods. He helped us to focus on our own priorities and to use them to show us a house which met them better than we could have expected. He acted as a buyer's agent, and I never had the sense that he was selling us anything - we sold ourselves. He was the catalyst in the transaction, giving us the market information and perspective that we didn't have. Ours was a unique situation, and the home we bought was a singular opportunity. But, every home buyer's situation is unique - just in different ways - and all homes are singular in their own fashion. In our case, Brian was very skillful in bringing together the unique with the singular."

"Brian was super knowledgeable about the area, the neighborhoods and the individual homes that we were looking at. He provided me with timely and thoughtful insights and information throughout the process, from our initial search through the closing. I highly recommend working with Brian."
