Complimentary Client Moving Truck
In 2019 we took our customer service to the next level and purchased a Complimentary Client Moving Truck!
Our clients can use the truck free of charge for life. We are blessed to be able to offer the truck to churches, charities and schools when the truck is not being used by clients.
The whole team at McConnell did an outstanding job selling my home. They handled all the details expertly and kept me informed throughout the process. Their network and resources were truly on display during the repair procedure portion of the sale. They were able to get multiple quality contractors to complete repairs in a timely manner and at a fair price. They also have a moving truck for their clients to use, and the staging was expertly done. I have zero hesitation in recommending them, they were truly awesome.— Doug B.
We can not begin to express how appreciative we are for the representation of our needs in selling our very special home by Jen and her phenomenal team. I will never consider another agency to represent us. From the beginning and throughout the entire process, McConnell Real Estate Partners were just that, partners in the marketing and sale of our home. At every step, even before we asked for assistance in one element or another, someone on the team would reach out and offer their help to facilitate closure. In fact even days after our closings, they continue to contact us with helpful hints on our new home that they also found and helped us clo...— Tony & Su B.
My wife and I were intent on purchasing a condominium in the Charleston, SC area, although we have had limited visits, mostly to the historic district. We live full time in Rhode Island and this purchase would be a second home. We are retired requiring careful consideration to stay in a budget yet find the right location to enjoy the prospects of southern charm! Since we did not know anyone in the area to make suggestions, I went online to review realtors first. Charleston Estates had a very navigable website. I first look at the bio’s under the about tab to see who I would work with, then the testimonials to understand the satisfaction level. I...— Bob & Pat M.
My husband and I have bought and sold several homes over the years. Working with Jen and her team is unparalleled to anything we have previously experienced. Our realtor, Jill Kraft, worked tirelessly to find us a home when we recently relocated to the Charleston area from Ohio. At one point, Jill talked us out of buying a home over Facetime as she didn't think we would be happy with the home. It's the first time we have ever experienced a realtor not wanting us to make an offer!! We truly felt that Jen and her entire team were looking out for our interest. They guided us through the process with professionalism, and no kind of pressure. Jen provide...— Gitte S.
Jen helped us purchase our first home in 2017 and recently helped us sell our first home as well! Jen and her entire team at Charleston Estates always go above and beyond to make the entire home buying and selling process a breeze and we would highly recommend them to anyone!— Blake O.
My family and I cannot begin to tell you what an unbelievable job Jen did with helping us purchase our home. She made the process very smooth and her communication was superb. We will only be using her going forward and anyone who has a real estate need, please reach out to her and her team; you simply cannot go wrong. :)— Ryan A.
Jen has been a pleasure to work with. We are not the easiest clients to please but Jen was very patient with us and helped us find a perfect home! She never once pressured us to buy and took notes of what we liked and didn’t like. She is very knowledgeable in the housing market but even in home renovations. We enjoyed working with her and will definitely continue to work with her!— Caleb H.
Jen is incredible and she knows the real estate market inside and out! Jen listed our home and had it sold within days! She and her team handled everything from start to finish ~ We didn't have to lift a finger! They were there to answer all of our questions and the marketing of our home was above reproach. If you want your home sold quickly, for a great price and with concierge style service, give Jen a call ~ You'll be glad you did!— Linda F.
From start to finish, Jen and her team were on point through the whole process. They went above and beyond the normal real estate duties and we couldn't have asked for anything more!— Joel & Jamie B.
Jen is truly the best! We were looking for a home in SC while still living in IN. We looked at many homes in short periods of time before finding the right one. Jen is extremely knowledgeable about the Charleston area as well as housing in general. She quickly understood exactly what we were looking for, even better than we did! She was unwaveringly pleasant, professional and easy to reach whether to schedule showings or answer questions. Highly recommend her and her group!!— Chris S.
Jen and her team were the best to work with. They helped us buy our vacation home at Folly Beach and as out of town buyers they made it easy for us! They went above and beyond to make the deal work! I would recommend them to anyone who was looking to buy in the Charleston area.— Jessica L.
I was a first time home buyer and found the Charleston Estates group through a referral from another agent out of state. Jen, Josh and their team were so amazing start to finish. They made our experience so effortless while also educating us on the home buying process. Josh made sure we found the perfect home that fit all of our wants and needs. They know the Charleston area very well and offered great feedback with each property we looked at. They were quick to respond to all of our questions and when we were ready to put an offer in Josh made sure we getting the best value. I’m truly so thankful to have such a positive first time home buying exper...— Charlie B
I highly recommend Charleston Estates with Jen and Josh McConnell and wouldn't go with any another realtor. They are super knowledgeable about all things real estate, including investing. We primarily worked with Josh who was responsive and quick to show us properties and put in offers, which is integral in this seller's market. Regardless of the time or day, Josh was there to help. He understood exactly what we were looking for and helped us beat out numerous other offers to get the exact property we were looking for. I'm confident we wouldn't have gotten the property without Josh and the team. We are deeply appreciative of all that Charleston Esta...— Hilary H.
Moving to a new area can be daunting, but Jen McConnell made the process much easier and significantly more enjoyable. Jen is the ultimate professional with a wealth of knowledge about the greater Charleston area. I really appreciated Jen taking the time to find out about our family, our lifestyle, our interests and our home style preferences, well before she started discussing the various areas in which we should consider looking for our future home. She is a very patient person who goes the extra mile to help you find the best possible home to fit your own person criteria. Jen is extremely responsive in answering texts, emails and phone calls, usu...— Kurt & Mary D.
Jen helped me and my fiancé find our first home and made it extremely easy for us to get a great house at a great deal. Jen was recommended me through my employer after I had been weary of some of the other agents that had been recommended to me. Right from the start, Jen was amazing. She  listened to what we were looking for and was very honest with us. After talking it over we were more than comfortable working with Jen. She was always very patient with us and willing to show us any property we wanted. While showing us the homes, she was very honest with us and helped us think through some of the expenses we may not have thought about before. She ...— Brad L.
As a first time buyer, I went into the process a bit confused and nervous. I told Jen this and she was both very helpful and patient with me. Within a couple days of me inquiring about a property, she helped set me up with a lender and get me pre-approved. After visiting several homes and listening to my thoughts, she was able to do a good job of gauging what I’d like–something I wasn’t even sure of for a lot of the process. I ended up finding two homes that I really liked, but unfortunately they went under contract before I was ready to make offers. Jen, however, was extremely vigilant about finding the perfect place for me. She inquired about peo...— Alex W.
My thoughts, great support and service from start to finish, any time of the day. Easy to talk to and will explain all the things that you don’t understand about the home buying process. Very patient with us even everyone on my side is getting stressed out and emotional trying to find the house  that we want to call home. Jen made my family a home owner, finally after being in an apartment for years. Guided us on searching for lenders and compared them and explained to us which is better based on our situation and needs. Got us a great deal/discount on closing costs from the home builder/lender. She’s a fantastic coordinator too in between buyer, se...— Chass N.
We have had two transactions with Jen both on a sale and a purchase. She has been both very knowledgeable and detail oriented and helping us navigate both transactions. Jen came into the listing process with a lot of background information to bring us up to speed on the market, what our home would sell for and even took the extra step and researched our property taxes. She discovered that we had been overpaying for three years. She even helped us in filing and obtaining a refund. The luxury group that Jen brought through our home really helped us stage our home and appeal to the broadest number of buyers. Heather and I would highly recommend Jen to...— Mike & Heather G.
How great it was to work with Jen! She was constantly in touch whenever new listing came up that met our criteria. Finally, when the perfect house/lot (we now own) was listed she immediately contacted us. Since we did not live in the area she went to the home and face timed us showing us the house/lot and the other homes on the street. She was terrific at helping us make a good offer on a home/lot that had several offers. She is very knowledgeable about the Isle of Palms and Charleston area. What a pleasure it was to finally meet her at our closing. Highly recommend Jen if you are looking for property.— Dr. Paul & Anna K.
Jen and her team are great! The communication was always fantastic, I could get a hold of her whenever I needed and she was super helpful when our mortgage company dropped the ball at closing with our paper work. She quickly rescheduling everyone for later in the day and made sure everything was complete. The whole process wouldn’t have gone nearly as smooth without such an experienced and dedicated professional like Jen to help us out. She knows the area very well and works hard for her clients. When we sell our current home we will definitely use her company.— Bryan M.
We had a fantastic experience with Jen McConnell. She patiently introduced us to many Charleston communities and very knowledgeably helped us narrow our search. Her organization and efficiency was much appreciated, particularly since we were 3000 miles away during the escrow period. She competently  handled all details including inspections, repair work, and negotiations. She is cheerful and fun, professional and honest, and definitely a great agent!— Anne S.
I mean, we are so lucky we found you. You made moving 3,500 miles a breeze! From social media to you showing us neighborhoods and houses when we were here for 48 hrs we couldn’t have asked for a better person to find us our forever home! You were informative, patient, and helped us learn the lay of the land in MP! Even more, leaving the cutest present for our kids was above and beyond. Now to enjoying wine and play dates! #myagentisthebestagent— Joey & Lindsey M.
Josh was really helpful during our home buying experience. He answered all of our questions and always responded promptly. He provided us with ongoing updates and we felt like we could reach out to him at any time. After the purchase of our home, he went by and checked on it for us as we were still out of town. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone.— Aaron C.
Jen was amazing! Her negotiating skills and personality exceeded our expectations! She always responded promptly to our questions and concerns during our building process. Jen also was very patient with us as we would bring our young children with us during our meetings. She would have crayons and coloring sheets for them and treat us as if we were family. We definitely recommend Jen!— Crystal M.
We absolutely loved working with Jen! As first time home buyers, we had no idea what we were doing and didn’t even know where to begin. She took the time to explain every detail to us and made us feel comfortable and confident in each decision we made. Jen really made the entire home buying process exciting and enjoyable and we can’t wait to recommend her to all of our friends!— Blake & Veronica O.
Jen was fantastic to work with! We felt like she heard all of our wants and needs and made our first home buying experience a breeze! She was readily available to tour homes at the drop of a hat and we felt like we already had an advantage when negotiations were started since Jen was on our side.  Would absolutely recommend Jen to anyone I know looking to buy a home!— Amanda C.
Jen was absolutely awesome to my family and me. While she helped us find our dream house, it was the above and beyond that made the deal. We were coming in from out of state. Jen made sure we saw everything, got virtual tours, took us around, etc. She made us comfortable with everything. I’ve never had a better realtor experience. I’m happy to be a reference.— Davis & Stacie M.
Jen was absolutely fantastic to work with! We are from the Midwest and were very unfamiliar with the Charleston area. Jen made us feel so comfortable and was extremely knowledgeable about all of the areas we were interested in. Highly recommend her!— Caitlin S.
Jen helped us purchase our first home. She was extremely patient with us and answered all of our millions of questions. She promptly responded to all forms of communication and made us feel comfortable and confident with our purchase.— Bob & Brooke J.
Loved working with Jen. She found me the most perfect home. She made it simple and easy. I needed a rental and wanted to be close to the ocean. I also wanted something with charm and character. She found it all!— Lea A.
Jen was very helpful in purchasing a property for my family. She was very responsive to any question or request. She helped the deal go smoothly and we recommend her to any potential buyer.— Kyle H.
Jen helped my husband and I find our dream home! She was organized, thorough, and so much fun. We really enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her to other families!— Todd & Jen I.
I loved working with Josh. He really keep our interests in mind and looked out for us. I will definitely work with him on any future real estate I have!— Andrea C.
My husband and I first met Josh McConnell in 2019 when we requested a house tour through Zillow and he was the realtor® the request got sent to. At the time we were only very casually looking at houses, but he would check-in with us every once in a while and let us know about interesting things going on in the market. When we very actively starting looking for a house in Mount Pleasant in 2022, Josh was wonderful. He really seemed to pay attention to things we liked and didn't like and would be open and honest with his thoughts. He always had great information to share about the houses we saw and the neighborhoods they were in. Trying to purchase a ...— Aubrey S.
Josh and Jen were fantastic! Their whole team patiently worked with us to find the perfect home after multiple tours and trips together. Highly recommended for anyone new to the area (especially Boeing employees) as my wife and I are.— Sahson R.
I was recommended McConnell Real Estate by a few friends when I told them I was looking to move here full time. That was easily the best recommendation of all time. Working with Josh and the rest of the team at McConnell Real Estate was one of the best decisions I could have made when choosing to move to Charleston! The personal service and care was evident from the very first day. Josh was available at all hours of the day to answer any questions, send over new listings, even visiting properties for me when I was out of town. He explained every step of the process and would call/text the moment there was any update to be passed along. The communic...— Stephen C.
As an out-of-state buyer, Jen and her team were simply fantastic during the entire purchasing process. She was helpful not just about homes and areas that we were interested in, but also shared her insight regarding schools and other aspects of the market that we were unfamiliar with. She kept us updated throughout the purchase and provided the resources and expertise needed for us to come away with the home that we truly wanted. In real estate, it’s easy to find an agent, but much more difficult to find a realtor who truly cares and is interested in helping you find what you want. Jen is that realtor, and we absolutely recommend her and her tea...— Chris P. & Kirsten B.
