Lighthouse Real Estate is focused on helping our clients meet their needs by exceeding their expectations in real estate services, representing buyers and sellers throughout South Carolina. We are also continuously working to address the need for quality affordable housing through the acquisition and management of homes throughout greater Charleston.
Lighthouse Real Estate LLC was founded by Joe Porter in 2007 after graduating from the College of Charleston. Just as he was getting his feet on the ground, the Great Recession hit, paralyzing the real estate market in the Charleston area and across America. No one was buying or selling. While reflecting on the need for affordable housing in Charleston, Joe took the leap and purchased his first rental property.
Working alone each day on repairing much of the home, he finally rented it out to a family looking for a safe, clean home at a fair rental rate, and from there he was hooked. For the next eight years, as the economy slowly regained strength, Joe focused solely on acquisition and management of properties to serve low and middle income families in Charleston.

We walk through your home, and put together a list of recommended repairs for you.
Then we break down what your home would sell for "as-is" and what your home would sell for after these repairs are completed.
We then make the agreed upon improvements for our clients and defer some or all of the associated costs until their home closes.
This means that our sellers aren't guessing which repairs will bring them the most value, they aren't spending time coordinating contractors and handymen to complete the work, and they aren't paying cash for necessary repairs before their house sells.

Planning to sell can be stressful, and since everyone's circumstances are unique, it's important to have an overall plan that meets your needs.
Begin by thinking about some of the terms and condition of the sale, such as timing.
When are you hoping to move?
Do you need to sell prior to making another home purchase?
