This weekend, be a light. 🙏

10/12/2026

Two real estate agents, one marriage, and a lot of conversation about Charleston real estate. Welcome, we’re so glad you found us 👋

We’re Crissy & Michael Rowell with William Means Real Estate. We work out of offices in both downtown Charleston and Mount Pleasant, and raise our family pretty much everywhere in between.

A few things to know about working with us:

1. We listen first. Your goals shape the plan, not the other way around.
2. We know this place. 20+ years combined in Charleston real estate, 30+ years as local business owners, and $100M+ in residential sales.
3. We’ll always be straightforward with you, even when it’s not what you were hoping to hear.

To us, a good move isn’t measured on closing day. It’s whether you’re still texting us years later for a restaurant rec, a contractor, or your next move. And whether you’d feel confident sending your family or best friend our way. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.

On this account you’ll find new luxury listings, honest market hot takes, local favorites, and the occasional peek at what Michael’s cooking.

We’d love to get to know you too. Tell us in the comments: are you a Charleston local (which neighborhood?) or dreaming of becoming one?

Throwback Thursday 🏡

In July 2016 I sold this Hobcaw Point home (Mount Pleasant) for $695,000.

Fast forward to today and Zillow says it’s worth $2,917,800. 💵

Now in all fairness, that massive jump isn’t just the market appreciation.

My buyer client was a local custom home builder who completely renovated the property after closing, so you’re looking at a combo of his craftsmanship and years of appreciation. 🔨

I think it’s safe to say many parts of Mount Pleasant have at least doubled in value since 2020.

It’s still a great reminder of what’s possible when you buy right and invest in the right updates and location.

In Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, a brick ranch offers endless renovation potential. Forever a favorite property style for me. 🤍

Curious what your home is worth today? Check Zillow. Just kidding! Send me a DM of course, and I’ll give you detailed analysis of your home or neighborhood.

Follow along for more, I’ll be sharing more Throwback Thursday value comparisons like this one. 📲

QI Charleston Market Update

"William Means has had an outstanding start to the year. In the first quarter, our sales volume rose by 15% compared to the same period last year.
Even more impressive, the average sales price increased by 41%, reaching $1.8 million.
We are also proud to share that William Means ranked #9 in total sales across all real estate companies in Charleston—an especially notable achievement as the highest-ranked firm with fewer than 50 agents."

Read the update:

While the first few months the year have been off to a strong start, the topic of tariffs have made it it challenging to predict the future of real estate, even in the short term.
