Read What Our Clients Have To Say!

Here is what some of our past clients have to say about our experienced Charleston realtors. Thank you to all of our clients for providing your testimonials about The Cassina Group. We base our success on your happiness and are always open to suggestions, comments and concerns. We value your opinion and appreciate all of your feedback. If you want to share YOUR testimonial about The Cassina Group's webpage and/or the agent you worked with, please e-mail info@thecassinagroup.com. Among Charleston real estate agents, The Cassina Group realtors are at the top of the ranks! But you don't have to take our word for it. Read what others have to say!

Garry & Jeanne Boyce:
"In connecting with The Cassina Group and Charlie Inglefield, we were most impressed by his response time to our calls with questions and his willingness to work with our schedules for viewing properties. His astute knowledge of the areas surrounding the properties helped us to determine what area was best for us to relocate to. Always honest and helpful, the integrity of Cassina through Charlie was evident and made us feel very comfortable and certain that we would not encounter any real estate glitches on the road to our relocation from another state. Bravo, for a job well done!"

Vicki and Coy Meadows:
"We found The Cassina Group Real Estate Company based in Charleston while searching the Internet. We had accepted an employment transfer from San Diego, CA to Charleston, SC and wanted to purchase a house. We placed an initial phone call to Charlie Inglefield and asked him to send us listings according to our specific housing criteria through the website to our email.

It worked out grand! Over the next few days, we picked and chose the ones we wanted to see and a week later Charlie showed these listings to us. We had 2 days to buy a house and looked at six the first day. We purchased #6 that day and it had everything we wanted and more.

Give Cassina Group and their website a try, it worked very well for us. Ask for Charlie!"

Jonathan and Dennise Magill:
"Dennise and I started our Charleston housing search on the internet with a Google search, and of the many realtor websites that we clicked on, The Cassina group’s was the most user-friendly and intuitive for us. We were able to quickly and easily search by neighborhood, map function, house features, etc. We could also save our favorites without any high sales pressure, just a simple web form. Once we narrowed our search down, we could quickly compare prices and features on the various properties, and receive daily updates on new properties that matched our criteria or changes to our existing favorites. Needless to say the house we ultimately bought was one that we found initially on The Cassina Group's website, added to our favorites, and compared it against the other houses we were considering. Overall our experience with the Cassina Group was excellent, and we were very pleased with the service from Charlie Inglefield, our realtor, as well as the excellent website."

Ryan Flemming:
"My home buying experience with Jackie Kelly was very impressive and enjoyable. Whenever I called to ask questions or to get more information, she was very patient and informative. I never felt rushed and she took time to share in my excitement and concerns as she walked me through what Mt. Pleasant and Charleston had to offer. At one point, I was considering property on the South side of the city, she had no problem referring me to someone who knew that area. The next day I was back under Jackie's care. Her number-one priority was my happiness and finding me and my new bride "the house of our dreams." Through the experience, we not only found that dream home, but also gained a friend. I'm writing this testimonial because I want others to share in my enjoyable home-buying experience. Jackie Kelly has my highest endorsement as a caring, attentive and experienced real estate agent."



Shawn McAlister:
“Jackie, You did a great job under challenged circumstances. You were always immediately available and completely sincere. You were diligent and hardworking. You were persistent to get the result we asked for. Thank you!”

Kevin Orwig and Rebecca Klingler:
"After working with Jackie Kelly in the sale of our home, we have nothing but the highest praise for her excellent representation as our real estate agent. Jackie recommended an aggressive price for our home, and she delivered. Our home sold for more dollars per square footage at the time of the sale than any other house in our neighborhood had to that point.

Her number one priority was our interests, and she never wavered in any negotiations, always pursuing for us the best marketing, the best settlement, the best timeline...in other words, the best overall deal. When things got contentious, she didn't try to convince us to go against our wishes or instincts. She presented our options, gave us her insight, and then supported our decisions unequivocally. She is honest and forthright. We never doubted her advice or her word.

One of the best things about working with Jackie, besides her ability to successfully maneuver you through the jungle of real estate jargon and legalities, is her uncanny talent for keeping everything upbeat during what can be an extremely stressful period. She has an unbeatable personality. Anyone would be lucky to have a real estate agent with such a fun-loving, life-loving, and friend-loving attitude that is so obviously reflected in her work ethic: her clients are her friends, and she loves her work. As a result, she gave us 200% during the entire home-selling process.

We would recommend Jackie without hesitation to anyone selling a home. Working with her was an absolute and profitable pleasure."

Jennifer Gager:
"Molly Conn worked tirelessly to get us into a home we loved at a great value. She is dependable, reliable, and has the kinds of connections with locals that make homebuying easy and smooth. I would reccommend Molly to anyone purchasing a home, whether a fist-time buyer or experienced real estate owner."

Gayle Aycock:
"I had looked at lots of properties via internet and coordinated with an array of realtors that way as well. The best web site I found was that of The Cassina Group. The site is easy to maneuver, easy to track your favorites and includes all the information you need, including the ability to map and view the neighborhood of the properties.

For me, this purchase was a huge deal and a long time dream. Molly Conn gave me the information I needed to “think it through” and the appropriate time and “nudge” to get the best of a good deal. Thanks to Molly, we found our dream home just two miles from Folly, on the marsh, and with one more bedroom and bath than hoped for on the wish list. We sealed the offer in late June, closed and started moving in just one month later!

The process was smooth, efficient and lots of fun, after all it was a dream come true. Molly is a driven young realtor, with a work hard attitude and good intuition. Check The Cassina Group out - you won't be disappointed."

Julia Kreibich:
"I would hire or work with Molly Conn on any given day! She is fun, professional and driven! Can't say enough good things!! I can't wait until I have another project to send her way!!"
