Joye Hollis Ridgeway, REALTOR in Charleston, SC

Destination: Charleston

Upon recovering from the daunting task of writing my profile, I'm sure I will embrace the blogging scene! It seems much easier to blog about mindless chatter than to write something substantial about oneself. Once I get past this chore, I can begin writing about Charleston, South Carolina - the town I love and the town I call home!

Joye Ridgeway is my name, and yes, that's J-o-y with an "e" at the end. A small town girl I am: Alabama born and bred, educated at Auburn University, and married to Charleston native Tom Ridgeway.

I have learned there is one common element to Charlestonians: If they ever leave Charleston, their immediate goal is to return to Charleston. That was the case with my husband when we met at Auburn. His goal: let's graduate and move back home.

So we did, and that was 27 years ago. For me, it has been an absolute pleasure to live in the historic city of Charleston. This is a destination kind of place....the kind of place people visit and remember it forever. The charm is defined by........Historic houses on cobblestone streets....Sidewalk artist on Saturday mornings...... Sounds of the horses shoes clip-clopping around town......Church bells ringing......The oldest tree east of the Mississippi River....The ocean's surf.....

The real estate profession has kept me abreast of the growth in the city as well as the housing options available. My goal is to help clients buy or sell their homes. There are many qualities and skills that go into being a good real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. I'm known around my office as the creative one.

That said, in my experience as a Charleston real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to clients needs.

This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done plus more than I ever could have ever imagined. Technology has helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients, as well as broadened the scope of my creative marketing campaigns and allowing me to create an enormous communications network.

So when you decide that you, or someone you know, would like to buy or sell a home in the Charleston area, please remember me, Joye Ridgeway. Thank-you very much for reading my profile. May the blogging begin.
