Trying to buy a commercial property for our business had become a daunting task until we hired Jenna Philipp with Palmetto Commercial Properties as our real estate agent. Unlike other agents, Jenna was able to effectively navigate through difficult negotiations with professionalism and candor. Jenna came highly recommended to us by other small businesses in the area, and after having her represent us, we can see why. She is passionate about what she does and she genuinely cares about building a better community for local business in Charleston. We doubt that we would have been able to buy our building without Jenna’s help. She has not only become our go-to real estate professional, but also our auspicious business advocate – going above and beyond her scope of work and demonstrating that she is actively involved in the continued development of our local economy. We are fortunate enough to know Jenna and look forward to our continued business with her.

Over the last 10 years, Joe Keenan has represented Moe’s SW Grill’s site selection with professionalism and integrity. He has great relationships with developers and other real estate professionals in the Charleston area which has resulted in securing a-plus locations. I recommend Joe to other businessmen who are faced with the challenge of site selection as he has much knowledge in the region and has developed a respected reputation among his peers.

Our company, Long Point Family Chiropractic, retained Will Phillips to negotiate a lease agreement for our office at 498 Wando Park Blvd in Mount Pleasant, Sc. We had been leasing the space since March of 2007 and our lease was up for renewal in March of 2012. Will was able to show us a wide variety of office spaces that were available in the area to show us comparable rates and spaces in Mount Pleasant. After looking at the available spaces, we determined our best option was to renew our existing lease with our current landlord. Will was able to negotiate a decrease of approximately $400 per month compared to our previous rate. He was also able to add an additional clause in our contract to cover us in case of any repair expense associated with our heating and air conditioning unit. It just happened to break down about 2 months after our renewal and because of the addendum added, our landlord paid for the cost of the repairs. Will provided a thorough, tress-free, and professional experience to our negotiations and we would highly recommend him for any initial or renegotiation of a commercial lease agreement.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jay Keenan, Batson Hewitt and Joe Keenan as well as the property management staff for well over a decade. As Executive Vice President for First Federal of Charleston, Palmetto Commercial was involved in a significant number of purchase, sale and lease transactions as well as the listing agent/management of an 80,000 square foot building owned by First Federal. Individuals or business entities that utilize the various services offered will achieve desired results due to the teams market knowledge, professionalism and integrity.
