Our Story
Our story began when Dede moved to Charleston in 1990. After relocating from Savannah in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo and building two spec homes, she recognized her calling and committed fully to a career in real estate in 1994. Guiding clients through home sales offered a natural alignment with her love of hospitality and a heart to serve others.
Daughter B.V. returned to Charleston after college to work at tech company Blackbaud, the two unexpectedly discovered how seamlessly they worked together when planning B.V.'s wedding. As Dede’s business gained momentum, the opportunity for thoughtful expansion emerged, and B.V. left the corporate world in 2004 to partner with her. Over the next twenty years, they refined a sophisticated, client-focused system that would become the foundation of their team’s reputation.
In 2021, Sarah Gipe Yandle elevated the partnership, bringing real estate experience that began in Atlanta and a lifelong connection to Charleston. Having grown up here and working alongside her father, respected Realtor Timm Gipe, Sarah offers a deep understanding of the market and an unwavering commitment to exceptional client care.
In 2025, Jennifer Davidson joined the team, adding another dimension of expertise and local knowledge. Jennifer combines more than 25 years of corporate sales experience with a passion for homes, design, and community. She is a long time resident of Mount Pleasant and offers both deep community ties and extensive knowledge of the Charleston market, with particular expertise in Mount Pleasant and the surrounding island communities - Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island, Daniel Island, and historic Downtown Charleston.
Our most recent addition, Brooke Goldman, joined early 2026. She's been licensed since 2008 and has worked in various industry roles, most recently as an agent recruiter for Carolina One Real Estate. When Brooke decided to jump into sales, she joined our team rounding out our geographic coverage and bringing fresh perspective. She's already extremely well known, respected and loved by fellow agents.
What began as a mother-daughter collaboration has grown into a highly synergistic partnership defined by integrity, excellence, and a refined work ethic. Together, the team delivers a level of service and sophistication that has become their signature.
