MADISON, N.J. (Feb. 22, 2023) — <\/b>Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC<\/a> announced today the affiliation of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Palmetto, with offices in Charleston and Goose Creek, S.C. The company primarily serves clients in the greater Charleston area, including Berkeley, Charleston as well as Dorchester County.<\/p>\n

The brokerage was established in 2021 by Aimee and Terry Peterson. Prior to their transition into real estate leadership, Aimee spent time in custom home construction while Terry was a commercial appraiser. Together, the two have also operated several small businesses.<\/p>\n

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Palmetto is known for its high-quality agent learning and mentoring programs, which they will now be able to integrate with the full array of the Better Homes and Gardens\u00ae<\/sup> Real Estate lifestyle programs, professional development and learning resources and extensive affiliated network. After growing from seven agents to 60 in less than two years, the team will now have the franchise support to sustain that level of development into the future and ensure their current affiliated agents have the assistance they need to continue to grow.<\/p>\n

The company is centered around a team-first mentality that they\u2019re all colleagues, not competition. Thanks to their in-depth professional development and collaborative culture, a number of the brokerage\u2019s affiliated agents have received the 2022 \u00a0REALTORS\u00ae\ufe0f<\/sup> of Distinction award from the Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS\u00ae\ufe0f<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Charleston is one of the most desirable places to live in the Carolinas. Known as \u201cthe friendliest city in the US,\u201d the city offers 230 days of sunshine a year as well as a real city-feel, without the hustle and bustle of more densely populated metropolitan areas. There are no shortage of entertainment options in Charleston, including its numerous beaches, historical landmarks, and vibrant nightlife. Charleston residents can also enjoy hiking the nearby scenic parks and trails including the Cypress Gardens and James Island County Park. Sports fans can also make the most of the city\u2019s perfect weather by enjoying the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, a world-renowned golf course often used by PGA players.<\/p>\n

The Charleston demographic largely consists of millennials who are attracted to the city\u2019s strong economy, which is centered around the nearby ports, medical facilities and military stations. Large employers such as Boeing and Volvo are located nearby, as well as the Medical University of South Carolina. Education is also a strong selling point for Charleston, as the city\u2019s public school system is the second largest in the state, with prominent institutions such as the College of Charleston, Trident Technical College, Charleston Southern and The Citadel all located nearby.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Palmetto fosters a service-driven culture that prioritizes the needs of its clients beyond the home buying and selling process. \u00a0This philosophy compliments the BHGRE\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0brand\u2019s commitment to passion and excellence as part of its core values, P.A.I.G.E.<\/p>\n
