Testimonials
“With the current market in housing, we went into the process of selling our house and buying a larger one with the idea that it would all take a long time. Jim and Julie did a fantastic job finding us not only our dream home, but also selling our current home in record time and for a great price! Because of the efforts of Jim and Julie, the house sold so quickly that we did not have any place to go. They even offered to us that we could move in with them until we were able to buy a place. That was quite an offer considering that our family consists of two adults, two toddlers, and two large dogs. There was no way we could put them through that so we had to get a rental until we found a place that we wanted. Once the house sold, Jim and Julie became even more diligent in finding us a place. They spent an incredible amount of time doing research on homes and showing us what seemed to be hundreds of houses. They were always available to us and willing to do anything we wanted to do. Throughout our home search process, Jim and Julie went above and beyond to keep us informed, answer our questions, and provide us with a great deal of encouragement and support. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Charleston area.”

'We planned to move to the Charleston area with very little knowledge of the lowcountry. Therefore, we knew we would need an excellent realtor to help us find a place to live. Jim and Julie came highly recommended to us by word of mouth - more than 500 miles away. We figured they must be good. In fact, they were outstanding - the very best you will find in South Carolina. Jim and Julie spent a lot of time working with us so we could figure out exactly what we wanted in a house and where we wanted to live. They found us a wonderful place to call home in a neighborhood that couldn't be more perfect for us. They have a wealth of professional knowledge, expert negotiation skills, and bring a valuable perspective to the real estate business as a husband/wife team. We highly recommend them to everyone we meet looking to buy or sell a home. They are our realtors for life!"

"I can't thank you both enough for a spectacular job. I'll sing your praises forever and I'm sure I'll need you in the future as well. I'll make every effort to refer my contacts to you both. Thank you again, for all your help and professionalism in closing this deal."

"From 'forcing' me to consider the house and its potential, and helping to pick the paint colors and suggesting other decorating options (the knobs) to recommending Charles, George, and Lu...and, of course, for navigating me through the home-buying process...I can honestly say I could not be more happy with the experience I had with Julie and Jim."

"After working with Jim and Julie on the sale of another home just one year prior, we knew without question who our listing agents would be. Our second home was under contract in a difficult market just 30 days after we found out that we would be leaving the area. Once again, they highest priority was our goals, and we had a trouble-free sale and closing! And even though we now live in another state, we continue to ask their advice about real estate and the market in general."

“Needless to say, as first time home buyers, my fiancé and I had no idea what we were doing. However, Jim and Julie patiently explained to us the market and answered endless questions. We love our home and are thrilled to have qualified for the $8,000 first time home buyers’ tax credit!! When it comes time to move out of our starter home, Jim and Julie will definitely be the agents we turn to! Thank you so much guys!”

“My husband and I were first time home buyers and had a lot of questions and concerns. We needed to find a house fast, but wanted to find something perfect. Jim and Julie were there for us at all times of the day, 7 days-a-week to take us house hunting or to answer phone calls and emails. Jim and Julie were the perfect match for us. Jim helped my husband by answering any building or construction type questions, as well as any concerns about finances. Julie was there to help me envision how to make it "our" house, to give little decorating tips, and was there to pick up on the details that most new home-buyers overlook....they were like our own personal shoppers!! It was a great experience all around. We will most definitely use them again when it is time to sell our home, and we would recommend them to anyone!”

"Thank you so much for handling the sale of my home. Although I was living in another state you always kept me up to date on the process and activity. I especially appreciated how hard you were willing to work to sell my home in a challenging market. Your creativity, optimism honest feedback and hard work really made me believe that we were going to get this done...and we did! If I ever return to Charelston, you are MY realtors!"

“In a tough economic climate, Jim and Julie were dedicated finding the best fit for us. They were patient, well-informed and honest. Jim and Julie offer more than information – they share valuable insight on the market, individual properties and the specific needs of their clients.”

"As a first time seller in a very trying housing market...Jim and Julie had the perfect plan to sell my home in record speed. They managed to squeeze every possible dime in to my pocket despite this economy...even selling my appliances FOR ME on Craigslist! Being in another state and having lots of questions and concerns, I did not hesitate to reach out to them as they were never more than a reassuring phone call away. My husband and I have never seen a TEAM of such compatible personalities whose success in working well together is a direct reflection of the success they have in selling homes. We would recommend Jim and Julie to any friend or stranger trying to buy or sell a home! And we are glad to call them our friends!"

It is obvious to us that Jim and Julie truly put their clients’ best interests as their first priority. We have always had difficulties in real estate, and selling in a buyers’ market didn’t make our home sale any easier. They were the first agents who handled every bump in the road professionally. Not only do they work as a team with each other but with their clients as well."

“As a real estate professional, I was thoroughly pleased with Jim and Julie Chalupsky’s efforts on the purchase of our home; from helping us understand our wants and needs in a home to their ability to aggressively negotiate on our behalf. The experience made me reflect upon my services and how to improve them. We will definitely continue to use Jim and Julie for all of our personal real estate needs.”

"Jim & Julie have the matchless ability to maintain both a personal and professional genre in their business. They are not in the least bit faint hearted when it comes to decision making, which allows clientele to stay grounded to their original aspirations. Jim & Julie maintain the ideal equilibrium between efficiency and organization, which insured that my closing lasted under an hour! I value their opinion and will consult them on my next real estate undertaking."

"Above and beyond! That's how I would describe the services provided by Jim and Julie Chalupsky. I recently had to sell my home on Daniel Island quickly due to a job relocation. Jim and Julie worked with me to innovatively market my house and get it sold in the timeframe I needed, even in this difficult market. As with any home sale, there were some issues, but they took care of everything, letting me focus on what I needed to do to move. The whole process was relatively stress-free. I would full recommend the Chalupsky's if you want to buy or sell property. They started as my realtors but now consider them my friends."

"I wanted to send this note thanking you for all of your help in the purchase of our new Daniel Island home. Buying a new home can be an especially daunting and confusing process, and your guidance and advice helped immeasurably in navigating through the contract negotiations and building process. Your knowledge and understanding of the many Charleston neighborhoods and their nuances helped us find the perfect neighborhood for us. We could not have done it without you. Thank you also for your extreme patience while we explored each of the areas."

"Moving to a new area can be intimidating to say the least. To lessen the intimidation, it’s important to find professionals that you can trust and better yet, confide in. Julie and Jim Chalupsky quickly became the first professionals we sought out that satisfied our confidence and trust expectations. Julie and Jim realized that even though we were buying one house, our individual needs and desires were different. More importantly, they were focused on helping both of us meet those needs and accomplish our individual desires. Neither of us felt like we were expected to sacrifice anything that was important to us. It was Julie and Jim’s objective to see us both get what we wanted. Julie and Jim quickly became a very important part of our relocation to “The Low Country.” Since then, we hold them in the highest professional and personal regards.”

"Angela and I just wanted to thank you for your help throughout the relocation process. We saw no difference in you between the 3rd house we looked at and the 54th house, and truly appreciate your help. In fact, most of the time Jim was trying to talk us out of buying houses, that's when you truly know that your realtor is on your side.”
Dan and Angela Konwent

“Jim made the daunting task of searching for the perfect home fun and easy. We were able to find a brand new home in a top school district - on an enlisted military income, no less! And no pressure here- you feel like you have a realtor that is actually on your side. We will definitely be referring our friends and associates to 843 homes. Thanks again.”

“Thank you so much for all of your help in buying our first house! We could not imagine going through the process with anyone else and we are so lucky to have had you there to answer our thousands of questions and help us along. We instantly felt a camaraderie with you that made looking for our house such a pleasure, and we were thrilled with your knowledge and expertise that made the time up to and including our closing so simple and stress-free.”
Marianne and Marty Rogers

“First class attention! Julie and Jim "staged" our house beautifully. The first people who looked at it bought it. This was in a tough market to boot! Their advice was very good and both stayed on top of all the details to make the closing go smoothly.”
Ken and Christine Schaub
Daniel Island, South Carolina
"We really liked Jim and Julie's style! They were honest, low key, well informed and had good communication with us throughout. Jim and Julie Chalupsky took the time to really listen to what we were looking for as well as what our requirements were. Jim and Julie never made us feel rushed or pressured and when we finally decided on what we wanted to buy, they were right there with us throughout the whole process. At times it seemed like they were as excited that we had found what we were looking for as we were ourselves. We can't say enough good things about Jim and Julie. They are more than just our realtors, they are our friends."
Chris and Wendy Durbin

"I can't thank you both enough
for your professionalism, expertise, and hard work in helping me find my first
home in Charleston. I love my town home, the neighborhood, and the community!
As I started to look for a place to live, from out-of-state, the mailings you
sent, along with your website and listings, were extremely helpful when I was
going through my initial decision process. After I finally decided to move to
Charleston, your years of experience in this market really came into play. Your
knowledge of the neighborhoods, home construction, and attention to our other
needs (inspectors, insurance providers, and mortgage companies), was so
valuable and helped guide me in making the right decisions. In fact, I have already
recommended you both to friends who have mentioned purchasing or selling a
home!"
Alexandra Haynes
Charleston, South Carolina
“For a first-time home buyer searching for a home in a new city is daunting. Jim and Julie quickly eliminated any fear I had and guided me through the process of getting out of my own way! They inherently knew how to narrow down the focus of a search without being aggressive. From seeing the first house to the contract signing, Jim and Julie exhibited professionalism and knowledge that made my experience stress-free. I am happy to say that we became close friends and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend them to close friends and family. Thanks.”
