Prudential Carolina Real Estate, the largest real estate company in Charleston, recently changed its name to Carolina One Real Estate. The company opted not to renew its 10 year franchise agreement with Prudential which was coming up this year. The name change officially took place May 1. A month after this transition, Carolina One is still the top real estate company in Charleston and has received overwhelming support from its agents as well as its clients.
The company’s 16 offices and almost 900 agents will still operate primarily the same way as before the transition. However, the company will now have more flexibility to incorporate new ideas into the local real estate market. It will also have more national and international networking opportunities, which is important since Charleston’s real estate market has gained more of a global presence in the past five or so years. Getting more exposure should encourage more growth in Charleston’s real estate market, which is already considered one of the top markets in the country.
Carolina One Real Estate will be affiliated with the Chicago-based Leading Real Estate Companies of the World. This network recruits real estate companies that are established and that already have a good market share within their areas. Carolina One’s new network boasts 700 successful real estate companies and approximately 145,000 agents which make up 5,000 offices in 38 countries.
In a business that thrives on independence and local connections, Carolina One has made a name for itself in the Charleston real estate market by having the most closed sales of any company for the past 11 years. Carolina One has gained this position through hard work and a strong focus on customer service. Carolina One will use the good reputation it has earned along with its new affiliation to give its customers the best service possible.
