It builds wealth and can be an important step in securing the future. Not to mention, it’s the place where families grow. Real estate is an important piece of society that affects everyone. That’s why Netflix, Bravo, HGTV and many more platforms have countless shows dedicated to buying, selling and investing. When the decision to buy a home becomes real for you, you don’t need a reality show, you need a go-to person you can trust. Meet Erica Zepp, a Realtor at Southern Bell Living, an award-winning real estate agency that represents some of the finest homes in Charleston. Zepp’s specialties include relocations, investments, luxury estates and single-family homes. Assiduous, driven, steadfast and fun are just a few adjectives that best describe Zepp and her approach to the world of real estate. Originally from upstate New York, Zepp has lived in the Charleston area for over 10 years. “I’ve resided and invested in my own properties in almost every zip code here in Charleston,” she relayed. Knowledgeable of the area and market, it is her drive and passion that has led to her success in the real estate industry. Zepp said, “I am truly fascinated by real estate. There is so much satisfaction and fulfillment in what I do. I love being in a position — or given the opportunity — to help guide others into making some of the most significant or important decisions they’ll make in life. Seeing the positive impact and difference it has made for my clients…that’s been my greatest joy.” Zepp loves being a major player in a female-led industry (56.6% of realtors are women). “It’s extremely empowering, motivating and inspiring to be alongside so many amazing women and men,” she said. “This is a competitive industry, which is stimulating in the best ways, but it is actually a very supportive and uplifting group to be part of.” A lot of Southern Bell Living’s success can be attributed to their client-centric focus. Zepp emphasized, “Southern Bell Living prioritizes the needs of our clients over anything else. Our perseverance, urgency, expertise, knowledge and unique marketing strategies are what we bring to the table for our clients. With our comprehensive database of the Charleston market, we can secure the right property for our clients prior to a home going to market. This will give them a more competitive edge.” Charleston continues to grow at 33 people per day, and Mount Pleasant’s current population is 97,689, making it the fourth largest city in South Carolina. Clients need that edge now more than ever. When these tools are paired with Zepp’s passion for the market, real impact is made.
