Some kinds words from clients

My mother loves reading these !

“Darragh has helped us purchase two homes - one when we moved from Connecticut and knew nothing about the area and the second as an investment property. There is no one who works harder or knows the Charleston area more than Darragh! He always gave unbiased opinions of properties and never pushed us to like something that wasn’t right for us. He also has great vetted connections around town and suggested many different contractors, painters, lawyers, etc that we worked with and loved! Darragh is so hands-on, but never aggressive or “salesman-y.” The relationship isn’t over once the home has been purchased. He really genuinely cares about how you live successfully in that space and if you’re happy, then he’s happy! ”
— Jill & Haddon used to live here, then moved and hopefully will come back one day. Charleston needs cool people like them.
“Darragh has helped me buy and sell three properties over the last decade and has never stopped working for my best interests even after the papers were signed and the closings were done. He saved me thousands making sure my house was under the right tax assessment months after closing, took time from a family vacation to negotiate a pre-closing move in when the paperwork was delayed on another house (also saving me thousands), guided me through selling a house during the market crash to a property that has become one of the best investments I’ve ever made, and continues to personally keep me updated on market conditions and neighborhood/city happenings potentially affecting the value of my home. He makes the process as effortless for his clients as possible, is always quick to respond, really knows his stuff and the area, is fabulous to work with, and, unlike other realtors, invests in you, personally, for the long term. He has always steered me in the right direction, and I absolutely trust his advice. You really could not do better than Darragh.”
— Sonaly not only shares my love of mountains but also was my neighbor downtown for a few years. We found a house for her around the corner from my house just before Cannonborough exploded, so the timing was perfect. Her interior design taste is impeccable!
“We had an amazing experience working with Darragh from afar as we planned our move from Philadelphia to Charleston. We reached out to Darragh after months and months of online house hunting on our own, and after one conversation, we could see that Darragh knew the segment of the market we were interested in inside out. He helped narrow our geographic search area based on where we would expect to see the greatest long-term price appreciation while also helping us understand the latest listing/selling/price change activity in the local market. Darragh did everything from taking us on an early-afternoon FaceTime tour from afar of a house that had been listed that morning to lining up visits to more than a dozen houses on our quick weekend visit to Charleston to providing expert advice as we negotiated on the house we ended up purchasing. We couldn’t be happier with Darragh’s expertise during the house-hunting, negotiation, and closing processes and would strongly recommend his services to anyone thinking about making a move.”
— I helped Dr Clarice & Matt with their home purchase and was able to recommend a contractor to help with their renovations. It's a stunning house with views over the water to downtown Charleston.
“Darragh Doran has been my realtor for the last 8 years. He has sold two houses for me on James Island and has helped me purchase two houses on Johns Island. He is currently listing a lot on Wadmalaw Island for me as well. As a small business owner myself and 23 year resident of Charleston, I can safely say Darragh is one of the most professional, knowledgeable and genuine people and realtors you could deal with. I recommend him to everyone that I know who is interested in selling or buying in the Charleston area. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if there are any questions. ”
— Gerry & Kelly are amazing people who can transform a rundown property into something worthy of a magazine, but with a very eclectic touch. They even used a reclaimed dock as their walkway throughout their 2 acres. You can visit them at https://seanachaiwhiskeyandcocktailbar.com
“I could not have been happier working with Darragh. He helped my family rent a house in Charleston before we were ready to make a home purchase. The following year he worked with us to purchase our first home - a new construction on Johns Island. He was incredibly helpful in choosing the right floor plan, making design decisions, and attending the construction walk throughs. He made life easy by using digital technology for signing forms and storing documents. He was always available with quick responses when we had questions.
A few years later he helped us sell that same home. He provided strong analysis on the market and the target sale price. He was flexible and helped us stay positive during a difficult stretch of having a newborn child and selling the home. He made valuable staging improvements and held open houses to ensure we got multiple offers. Ultimately he procured an all cash offer that turned a big profit on our home in just a few years. ”
— I helped Scott & Dr Annie Smith rent first, then buy & sell their home.
“It is always arduous when one is living in one city but looking to buy a home in another. It requires a real estate broker that not only understands the market components, but also can communicate effectively to his customer. Darragh Doran exceeded my expectations in this regard during my move from Scottsdale, Az. to Charleston, SC. Darragh went above and beyond normal broker duties to make the transition seamless. I am 100% sold on Darragh’s abilities and service standards. It is my intent to work with him on future opportunities.”
— Thanks so much John. I've helped John's brother and his niece with their homes, so very thankful for that
“I just wanted to touch base before you list our home for sale in March and let you know how much Gigi and I appreciated your hard work getting her parents waterfront home sold expeditiously, during a difficult time. As you know both of her parents declined very quickly and we needed to move quickly.

It was a great comfort knowing that we had a brain trust in you and your company. The whole process was flawless really look forward to working with you again.
Again really appreciate you expertise, candor and communication. ”
— I helped Frank & Gigi parents sell their waterfront home. Also helping Frank and Gigi sell their marshfront home in James Island, while finding a place for them to downsize to
“I highly recommend working with Darragh Doran of The Boulevard Company if you have a home to sell. He’s knowledgeable in regards to pricing, marketing, qualifying prospective buyers, facilitating the sale through closing, and even afterwards. His vast local experience and resources will save you time and money, maximizing the equity in your Charleston area home. He has coordinated multiple home sales for me, some with complicated aspects, and Darragh ensured that the entire process progressed quickly, easily, and smoothly from my perspective. His availability and prompt responses were greatly appreciated. I’ll definitely work with him again on future real estate transactions. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding his suitability as your agent.”
— I help Natalie buy her house, then sell when she had to move out of state. Also helped her investment group buy two investment properties.
“As first time home buyers, we had NO idea what we were doing. Darragh was so patient and helpful throughout the whole process. He answered all our questions, explained things in a way we could understand, and made what can be a very nerve-wracking process super simple for us! We highly recommend him and will be contacting him when we are ready to sell our current home and buy again!”
— I help Brittany buy her first home in Charleston in West Ashley
“We have been fortunate to have had Darragh Doran assist us in buying and selling 3 properties. We would give him our highest recommendation. He is knowledgable, friendly, easily available and honest. He made the process as easy as possible. I believe we also saved significant money listening to his advice.

We have recommended him to our friends and colleagues. They always thank us for doing so, and become repeat customers. I also find many become personal friends of his.

Moving is an inherently stressful process. Having a professional who can guide you through it is critical. We were lucky to have Darragh and you won’t regret contacting him.
”
— Dr Scott & Dr Angela are some of my favorite people who I've been fortunate to meet and assist with their homes.
“Darragh knows the Charleston property market inside out. He’s been here for 20 years and has been working in real estate for 10 years. We were buying out first home after 2 years of moving to the US and were unfamiliar the process here. Darragh’s approach is simple, he took as round all of the neighbourhoods in greater Charleston by car, point out the pros and cons and showed us what we could afford. We ended up buying a house he recommended in an up and coming area on James Island. Based on his advice, 2 years later, we’ve made $35k on this property!

Darragh guided us through the entire purchase knowledgeably, answered all our stupid questions, gave advice on designs and finishes, helped us purchase insurance, gave us mortgage advice and helped us close. We still reach out to him for homeowner advice. His honest approach made buying our first home a lot less stressful. I couldn’t recommend his services more, whether you are buying or selling your home, he’s the man!”
— I helped Mark from Belfast & Brooke from Peru buy their home together in James Island in a neighborhood I thought had good potential for price increase
“Darragh has been a vital part of my Charleston living experience over the past five years. He found me my first home and held my hand through the entire process. After the sale was over, Darragh continued to keep me informed about the market and my purchase. Darragh helped my husband and I find our family home last spring. I have recommended Darragh to my family and friends. In a sea of Realtors in Charleston, Darragh is a stand out! ”
— Liz & Joe are the nicest people, I helped Liz buy her first condo and then her first family home after the birth of little Joe
“I moved to Charleston from NYC and looked through lots of listings in many different parts of the city. I started working with another real estate agent initially, and it became pretty clear to me that although he was very well established and had access to tons of listings, he was looking out for himself more than anything else.
Darragh listened to what I “wanted” and asked the right questions to help steer me towards what I really wanted. He answered all of my questions and kept me informed about the tax codes, etc. which ended up saving me money! He was always available to answer my questions, and always followed up. Not all real estate agents are equal; working with Darragh showed me that!”
— Thanks Nina, I really do listen to everybody's "wants" and try to find the best place to meet their wants.
“Darragh is the real estate agent you have always wanted to have help you. He is incredibly knowledgeable on the Charleston area, the real estate market in general and what the best options are for people as individuals. With Darragh’s expertise, relationships, connections and attitude he turns a process that can be daunting into an exciting part of your life that reminds you why you wanted to purchase your new home to begin with. There is absolutely no one better than him to work with.”
— Jessica bought her house without even seeing it in person while she was living in Kenya ! Thanks for the trust Jess !
“We can’t speak highly enough of our experience with Darragh Doran We were first-time home-seekers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. We met with a couple of realtors before Darragh, but we knew instantly that he was the one for us. He is honest and hands-on and he really helped to take the pressure off of us. Moving from New York to Charleston a new home was our major concern but Darragh advised and made for a very smooth landing when we got to Charleston.

We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the “one” Darragh negotiated and had all necessaries conducted before we got to Charleston and gave us the time to deal with our out of state move. We have several friends looking for homes and thinking about selling, and we always recommend Craig to them!

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions regarding my experience with Darragh!!

Highly recommend. ”
— Brian & his wife Mary are also Irish, we met through my Charleston Irish group before they moved here and we were able to find a place for them to move straight into when they moved to Charleston.
“Working with Darragh can only be described as painless. Knowledge is power but even more powerful is Current Knowledge. Darragh takes a Modern approach to his Art. Real Estate is complex as he has shown me both when purchasing my lot and building a home here In Charleston but also in the various Investements I’ve made. Someone planting a sign to sell your home or googling to find you a home is NOT an Agent. Darragh is a true Agent who knows his Market Inside out. You are truly making a mistake if you don’t at very minimum talk to him. You’ll see exactly what I mean when you do. Darragh has full authorization to give any potential client my personal contact info if they wish to hear it from my lips.”
— I helped Tommy put a contract on a lot within an hour of it coming on the market. The lot prices tripled in the two years after he bought his.
“Within the plethora of real estate agents that has sprouted in Charleston over the last few years, Darragh stands out as a dependable, honest, and hard working original. He helped us find the perfect apartment in less than a month, respecting our personal and financial preferences. Vast knowledge. Genuine advice. No trickery but knows the market tricks!”
— I helped Dr Alexandra buy a condo in West Ashley five minutes from her hospital
“When we started our house hunt, we were convinced that we wanted an older house that would require rehabbing to modernize. Darragh took the time to ask us what our interests and hobbies were. Very quickly, he helped us to realize that we were after the charm of an older home, but with modern conveniences. We didn’t want to spend our weekends working on the house, but rather enjoying it. He asked pointed questions, listened and began researching for our perfect home.
After just a few days, he found our home for us. It was midway through the construction phase, and not even on the market. He reached out to the builder, showed us the home and managed to convince the builder to sell to us once he knew we were in love with the home and location. He put himself out there to make sure we ended up with exactly what we wanted.
Darragh was with us from the first day to the last, and helped our buying experience go as smoothly as possible.

I would be happy to recommend Darragh to anyone purchasing a home.”
— Judi & Stephen were looking for a house in Park Circle and through my contacts, I was able to get them a marshfront house that wasn't on the market yet, but I had worked with the builder's agent before and they were happy to sell to my clients.
“Darragh was the best realtor we ever worked with. He was understanding of our needs and patiently helped us search for the right home. Once we signed a contract, his response time to our questions came within minutes, even when he needed to contact the home owner for answers. The advice he offered was beneficial and assisted us in closing within a reasonable time. I would highly recommend him to be your realtor; and if we should need one in the future, he is our first choice. - Robert B.”
— I helped Robert & Glenda buy a house 30 minutes outside of Charleston on a few acres with a workshop for Robert's woodworking hobby
“Darragh was the absolute best realtor we could have hoped for. He sold our house quickly, and we settled on a price over what we were asking. Our house needed some work, and we didn’t know how to go about finding contractors who could respond quickly to needed repairs. Darragh had all the right connections, and it was a huge stress reliever not to have to worry about arranging contractors. He also helped us buy our current home, and we could not be happier with our location, neighborhood, floor plan, and the deal we got on our home. I would strongly suggest anyone to consider using Darragh to buy or sell a home.”
— Thanks Dusti ! I helped Dusti sell her home in Mt Pleasant and move to a new construction home just down the road
“I have used Darragh to purchase 2 homes and sell 1. I have referred other clients to him and they are very pleased with his service. Darragh is a professional and he continues to hone his craft.

— Bob is an ex work colleague of mine from Bosch who has gone onto build airplanes at Boeing. I love Bob's houses because they're always interesting rural locations with fantastic gardens.
“Darragh is a great resource to help guide your house purchase. He will gladly work within the constraints of a resident’s budget, while still helping to guide your purchase to an area that fits your needs. He is very knowledgeable with regards to the “up and coming” areas around Charleston. And house hunting is certainly more fun with a side of Irish humor!”

He really has a way of making things better in the tough times while selling or buying a home. Thanks for your help Darragh”

I made good returns on in within 2 years and Darragh sold it in 3 weeks when he listed it for me. I’ve just bought a house to live in when I’m in Charleston.

He was efficient and professional every step of the way helping us sell our house and buy a new one in a very short period of time. His experience in the realty business and his knowledge of the area made the whole process of buying and selling at the same time much easier than expected. I would recommend him to anyone in the area or to anyone moving to the area. He’s honest and reliable. You won’t go wrong with him on your side.””

— I help Dave & his wife sell their high end condo in Charleston
“Darragh contacted me as I was moving to Charleston from the Midwest. I had barely visited town before having to look for a place to live and knew nothing about the real estate market here. Darragh took the time to get to know me and learn my priorities in looking for a place to live. He taught me the Charleston real estate landscape and was knowledgeable enough not just to put me in a great house, but a great house in a part of town that he correctly predicted was up-and-coming.
