Investors are back! Get Your Share of this Market with CIAS

Real estate investing guru Greg Rand has named Charleston one of his top two choices for real estate invesment locations.

Click the thumbnail to watch Rand's commentary on Charleston.

Rand cited Charleston’s long-term market stability and other factors as his reasons for choosing the Holy City as an investment goldmine.

“If you look at the 15 year sale price chart, there is very little evidence of a housing crisis in Charleston. The kind of city that produces that kind of stability is one with a high quality of life, a low cost of living and growing job market” said Rand.

With investors already flocking back to the Charleston market and droves more sure to come, you have to be prepared to handle this very different type of client.
