The Island Park Philosophy

We believe in the spirit of community. We value quality over quantity. We take pride in the little things—a handwritten thank you card, a phone call just to check in, and going the extra mile to help you get acquainted with your community. We pride ourselves on finding the best fit for you and your family, regardless of the timetable. Creating sustainable relationships with our clients, colleagues, and trusted partners is at our core, and is the key to our success.

Above all, we understand that the process of buying and selling a home can be complicated. Whether you’re looking for your first home, a larger space for a growing family, or place to retreat upon retirement, our real estate crew is here to guide you through every step of the way. Our diverse and talented team also specializes in land sales and investment properties.

Unlike most real estate firms, we don’t hire every agent that walks through the door. Instead, every one of our agents undergoes a rigorous review process that includes interviewing past clients. And every agent is a full-time professional with a singular focus: helping clients.

It’s great being able to ride our bikes to restaurants and shopping and it’s really a fabulous place to raise our family.” Lean about Angie’s journey to Daniel Island here.

The man behind the lens, Cody creates spectacular and evocative imagery that truly captures our client’s homes. From architectural to twilight photography, Cody truly makes our listings shine!

Cody grew up in a small town where the local gas station was considered Wal-Mart. One day, his parents brought home an old JVC camcorder and he was hooked. Since then, he can’t recall many days where he hasn’t picked up a camera at least once (he’s upgraded from the JVC). After graduating high school he was in search of creating a career path in photography/video. With a camera in hand an a fascination with architecture, Charleston was an obvious calling. Once he packed his bags and made the move with a sink or swim mindset, he jumped head first into full-time freelance. With no real formal training in photography he relied on learning by doing, and was lucky enough to meet some great friends with experience to help guide him along the way. Now he is fortunate enough to have a successful full-time business with a long list of happy clients.
