  • Dear Friends, I want each one of you to know how much this past year has meant to see my mom and especially my dad happy. I owe it to all of you. It was a long hard road but we finally got there and without further ado I want to say "Thank You for all you did, and continue to do for our family".

  • When I first decided it was time to buy a home I will admit I was a little overwhelmed. However, as soon as Waverly Byrd took over as my agent, I knew I was in good hands. She patiently and throughly answered all of my questions along the way and I had a lot of questions! Then, despite Covid19 and Tropical Storm Isaias's best efforts to delay my closing, she was able to kept things together so I closed on schedule. Whether you're a newbie who requires a patient coach, or seasoned real estate investor looking for a well-connected, highly-motivated agent, Waverly is someone you need in your corner. Thanks again Wave!

  • They were at the top of their game. We had a short time to get the house ready for sale. Even with all the delays, dealing with one of the family being in another state, the agreement, then with the agreement being denied, and at the last minute doing a major clean out of the house, Byrd Property Group still got the property sold and for what we ask for. So, if you are ever in need of a company to provide you with professional friendly services, please, give BYRD PROPERTY GROUP a call and they will get things taken care of.

  • Had very easy and happy experience with Mr Byrd and his wife and daughter. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

  • Bill Byrd is a true leader in real estate. His experience and knowledge in the real estate market where invaluable for me as a first time home buyer. His follow through and customer service skills are exceptional. And he had a lot of patience for the hundreds of questions I asked him during the process. My search originally started on the internet and I was both disappointed and discouraged at what I was finding. Bill patiently spent time driving me throughout the city and educating me on the homes that were in our market and showed me neighborhoods that I wasn’t even aware of. With his help, I found many homes with lots of potential. Bill was respectful of my budget and never once tried to pressure me to increase it. He was attentive and helped me find homes that met my specific needs and desires. The thing I appreciated the most about Bill was that it was really important to him that I bought a house that he felt was a good investment and great place to live. I trusted his honest opinion of homes that would not have been a good first time home for a single lady. In the end, his diligence and experience saved me from making big mistakes! I would recommend Bill Byrd to anyone who is interested in buying a home!

  • Mitzi W. - Bill Byrd and his team were excellent! I live out of town from the property that Bill handled and relied on him and his knowledge to sell the property. The property had been a rental for many years and Bill and his team were so helpful in working with our property manager and even the tenant that was still renting the unit. They were always accessible to us and extremely knowledgeable. They used many different methods to advertise the property which gave us a much larger market of prospective buyers. Bill and his team went above and beyond to help us sell this property, educating us on many aspects of the selling process that we were unfamiliar with. I highly recommend Bill Byrd and his team, they were great!
    Mitzi M.
  • Bill took us to see all the homes we liked and many more. He helped keep the process quick and easy and answered all the questions we had has first time home buyers. Great experience!
    Evan & Christine D.
  • Bill was a tremendous help both before we bought and during the whole buying process! We worked with him for 2 years while recovering from a foreclosure to properly prepare to buy a home when the time came. He was always available, day and night, to answer all of our questions. He was very knowledgeable with the VA loan process, which was very helpful. He ultimately helped us purchase our home last week and we couldn't have been happier with the process. It was so easy that it seemed unreal! We ended up with almost $10k in equity and cash at closing when it was all said and done!! Absolutely could not have asked for a better realtor. Hands down, the best in the Charleston area!
    Jeremy & Melanie K.
  • We were able to sell our house in 14 days during the COVID-19 pandemic thanks to the help of Bill Byrd and his associate Jeff Pascoe. They helped us understand the Charleston market and neighborhood comps, come up with a strong selling price and guided us through the negotiation process with thoughtful, informative and honest feedback. In addition, both of them were always available to chat or text at any time! We highly recommend using Bill and the Byrd Property Group for your real estate transactions. It’s been smooth sailing for us! Thanks, Bill & Jeff!

    Jeff Pascoe with the Byrd Property Group was amazing. As I imagine I was not the easiest to work with, Jeff was always upbeat with rapid response times and clear information; he was always getting me to think one step ahead. I felt he was my advocate throughout the whole process. Though I doubt I will ever move from my perfect home (it is perfect!), if I were to ever buy another property, it would be through Jeff.

    "It was a first time home buyer and am incredibly happy that I chose Bill to be my agent. He is professional and seems to know all there is to know about real estate! Buying a home in Charleston is a bit stressful because of the crazy market but Bill put my anxieties to ease and answered all of my questions, which came all too often I'm sure. Bill was always easy to reach and even sent out a member of his team to show me a home when he was out of town. I couldn't be happier with my home and am so thankful to Bill for all of his help. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to find a great agent!"

    I still have no idea what keystroke sent my name and email address to Waverly, but it was divine intervention! Waverly always went the extra mile. Buying a home long distance added a layer of difficulty, but she never hesitated to help when asked. She was always courteous and polite, her answers intelligent and informative. I feel certain this wouldn't have all come together without her diligence and determination. YOU COULD NOT BE IN BETTER HANDS than Waverly's.

    Bill Byrd and his team are an incredibly effective! First, Bill and Millie met with my wife and I to help us with staging the home. We received great advice which saved us money from the start. Their staging was directly responsible for the contract on our house in two weeks! Would highly recommend Bill Byrd and his team to anyone selling a home in the area!

    Bill Byrd and his team helped my mother sell my late grandmother's home. Bill was warm, helpful, and honest. He guided us through the process and offered solid advice on what we needed to do and what not to spend money on to prepare the house for sale. He was always available for us. We feel very fortunate they were on our side to help us through this process.

    Our buying and selling experience with Bill Byrd and his team has been a pure pleasure! We were attempting to sell our home "by owner", then decided to meet some realtors. After meeting with other agents, we met with Bill. He invested his time to educate us, as well as answer all our questions and concerns. Bill explained the process to us and sold our home quickly!
