"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!"

“Leigh was absolutely incredible in the process of finding our second home in Charleston, SC. While living in Myrtle Beach, we were able to review listings in the area as Leigh continuously emailed a large assortment of properties that matched our criteria.”
–Ruta Rimkiene
“She handled everything from the scheduling of the inspection to all communications with the seller. I never felt uneasy or pressured during the process. I would recommend Leigh to any friend or family member. She is trustworthy and cares about her clients.”

“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.”

“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.”

Originally from North Carolina, Shelley grew up moving from city to city—Raleigh, Charlotte, Nashville, and Columbus to be exact—for her father’s job in the banking industry. This transitory experience proved to be formative, and fostered an early passion for family, architecture, and details that make a house a home.
Upon graduating from Wofford College (where, fun fact, she helped begin the women’s golf program!) Shelley moved to the Lowcountry and gained professional experience, and a diverse skill set, working in the golf and medical device industries.
Shelley’s attention to detail and extensive knowledge of the local area—she has called Charleston home for seventeen years—are well suited for real estate. But it’s her outgoing energy and love of working with others that make her a natural fit for the job.
When she’s not working, you can find Shelley boating and fishing with her family, supporting her school-aged children Eleanor and George at their many extracurricular activities, or dining at her favorite John’s Island restaurant (Wild Olive!) with her husband, Greg.
A house is a structure but a home is a feeling—one of safety, love, relaxation, comfort. A home is not just an investment financially, but an investment emotionally as it offers a space to create memories, experiences, togetherness.
Our church is between Meeting, King, and Tradd Streets downtown and I always enjoy being near it. It brings back memories of when the kids were babies and going to church with them then taking George to preschool there.
SEWE has always been a fun weekend for us as a family. We love getting to learn about the animals in Marion Square and watching the dock dog competition at Brittlebank Park. It’s a great weekend in Charleston!
