"You can't go wrong with Jay Poston as your local Charleston realtor! We needed a realtor to show us around the Charleston and surrounding areas because we are from out of state. Jay Poston took the time to drive us four hours one day all around the area so we could see what the traffic was like and we were also able to go into some homes too. This process really helped us narrow down the location we wanted to live in and we couldn't have done it with our Jay! Jay is always on call and will be there for you as the client in the end!"

“Jay exceeded our expectations by going above and beyond the call of duty. Despite the long house search and tough Charleston market, he remained persistent and stuck with us throughout the entire process.”

"We have used Poston & Co. for the purchase of our first house as well as our next home. We also used them for the sale of our first home. From the top to the bottom, this company strives to make customer service their priority. Our realtor, Jay, was always available, no matter the time of day or simplicity of the question. They ensured that the buying and selling process was smooth and painless. Jay did a great job of acting on our behalf during the buying and selling process to ensure we got the best possible deal. We would not dream of using anyone else for any of our real estate needs.”
–Cameron & Emily Wilhoit
"As a first time home buyer, I needed a residential broker who I could trust and count on to put my best interests ahead of everything else. Jay checked all of the boxes, and his knowledge of the varying neighborhoods of Charleston was quite impressive. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Charleston area.”
–Bill M.
“I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about our experience working with Jay during the sale of one of our investment properties. Jay was outstanding in all phases of the transaction. He took care of all of the details and was responsive to our concerns. Jay’s experience and knowledge allowed us to go on with our daily lives while he took care of the real estate sale. I would highly recommend Jay to anyone. For us it was a great customer experience.”
–Nick Gavalas
Born and raised on James Island, Jay Poston grew up with tidal marshlands, beaches, and downtown Charleston as his playground. After graduating from Wofford College in 2013 with a degree in finance, Jay hit the road throughout the Palmetto State working on the campaign team for a 2014 candidate for lieutenant governor. That experience underscored his love of South Carolina and prompted him to return to his Lowcountry roots when the campaign wrapped.
Jay joined the Poston & Company team in 2015 and finds true joy in helping others establish roots in Charleston—whether that’s a first-time homebuyer, a retiree, or anyone in between. He thrives in negotiations (fiscal talk comes naturally to him) and has a knack for finding creative solutions to any roadblock. He’s a straightforward, honest communicator who’s committed to serving his clients as best as he can.
Jay calls James Island home and, when not working, can typically be found on a boat, on the golf course, hunting, or making his way through his favorite Holy City restaurants.
Home is everything. It’s family, friends, memories (both good and bad, happy and sad)—home has it all. My mom always called me a homebody. I’ve never been much of a world traveler. Why travel when you can call Charleston home though?
It’s too hard to choose just one. For bar food with the guys, I would say The Griffon, The Roost, or Moe’s Crosstown. For date night, Little Jacks, Mex 1, or Husk Bar. On a Saturday afternoon or night in the fall, Home Team BBQ for chicken wings and game changers can’t be beat.
Some of the best weekends in Charleston are the weekends where there is nothing to do or any big plans.
