The Kauffman Group Real Estate sold more homes in Charleston, SC than any other agent in 2023.

“He lived up to his reputation of being the go-to agent in our area..”

“With all our kids out of the house, we finally decided it was time to downsize. Nobody knows our neighborhood better than Topher (or at least we’ve been seeing his yard signs all over for years lol). He lived up to his reputation of being the go-to agent in our area I understand why he does so much business. We had several offers very quickly and got way more than we expected. The first buyers ended up having some financing issues but Topher had a backup offer ready and we ended up closing the same week as originally planned. I can’t thank him enough!”

“His professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated”

“Throughout the past several months, Topher has been there every step of the way. He and his team always returned every call or email no matter what time of day or night it was. His professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. I never felt that he was just trying to sell me a house, but was there to answer my questions and help me to make the best decision for my family.”

“Turns out they do literally everything for you from contacting the tenants to getting it sold in a week”

“Topher and his team were a life savor for me and my family. We had wanted to get rid of our rental for years but never found the time to start the process. Turns out they do literally everything for you from contacting the tenants to getting it sold in a week. I never thought it would be so easy being in a different time zone but they made it happen. Very happy I did my research before picking an agent.”

“If I was ever going to sell or buy again they would be the first people I would call”

“Topher sold my house and Erica helped me to buy a new one. Two of the hardest working people in the business. They treat you like family, and work as hard as they can for you. If you are going to sell or buy a house I recommend you go with the Kauffman Group. If I was ever going to sell or buy again they would be the first people I would call.”

“I have bought 4 homes in my life and this one was by far the smoothest transition we have seen.”

“We had a great experience using Ian Smith and his group for our purchase in Summerville. We managed to win a multiple offer situation on the first home we looked at and we were closed 30 days later. I have bought 4 homes in my life and this one was by far the smoothest transition we have seen.”

“Hands down would sell with him again and again”

“Topher isn’t the cookie cutter real estate agent, but that’s probably why we picked him over the other agents we interviewed. he told it how it is, no fluff. kept to his word and did a great job. Hands down would sell with him again and again. His buyer agents are awesome too.”

“If we ever do this again, they will be the only realtors we will call!”

“I worked with the Kauffman group to sell my home and buy a different one. It was my first time ever selling a home before and i thought it would be hard. Rachel and Topher helped every step of the way and took off a lot of the stress. I had showings on my home right away and they got it sold really quick. Rachel was patient, answered all of our questions, was very professional and helped us find something perfect for our growing family. If we ever do this again, they will be the only realtors we will call!”

“We were so happy to have been referred to Topher after a failed attempt to sell our house last year”

“We were so happy to have been referred to Topher after a failed attempt to sell our house last year. We were nervous at first but he calmed us down so quickly telling us what was lacking last time and how to fix it. this time. It was so much easier this time with him and we will definitely be using him in the future.”

“…it was a no brainer that we would hire him too.”

“Topher had our house under contract on the very first day for the exact amount we wanted. What can be better than that? Several of our neighbors used him and had great experiences, so it was a no brainer that we would hire him too. Topher is the best! Proof is in the pudding.”

“Topher kept me calm and reassured me that it would all be fine.”

“I unexpectedly was transferred for work and had to get my home sold ASAP. I looked on Zillow and Topher’s name popped up. I saw all of Topher’s reviews and decided to call him. He and Eleanor took such great care of my house and my super stressed-out self. Topher kept me calm and reassured me that it would all be fine. And it was. He had my house listed within just a few days of our first meeting and I accepted an offer soon after. Anyone who doesn’t use Topher to sell their home is crazy!”

“When it was time for my family to move he was there with us every step of the way”

“I met Topher through our kid’s little league baseball, and I’m very happy I did. I talked to him about it a bit last year, and he was never pushy about it. When it was time for my family to move he was there with us every step of the way and really made us feel comfortable with our first time selling a home. We don’t plan on moving anytime soon, but if we did he’s our guy.”

“Topher, Nellie, and Eleanor were all extremely helpful…”

“After speaking with Nellie for over a year, I called her to help us sell our home. She got me in contact with Topher who helped set our price and get the process started. The home was under contract in just a day. Topher, Nellie, and Eleanor were all extremely helpful and made the process so easy even with me being out of state. I am very grateful for their hard work and efficiency.”

“He was very informative about the process from the start…”

“I’ve known Ian for years now and he has always been a go-getter. Whenever I let him know that I wanted to buy a house before the end of the year, we were out on showings the next day. He was very informative about the process from the start and really impressed us with his ideas for negotiation. 10/10 service my man! Shannon and Eleanor were great too. Thanks again, team!”
