"Finding Lois when we were new arrivals in Charleston was a stroke of luck. She has helped us in all sorts of ways through multiple transactions for a quarter century! Lois has a deep knowledge of Charleston Downtown and is a gentle but firm negotiator; she has also helped greatly with challenges like finding good contractors for last-minute repairs. Her confidence and positivity got us through home buying and selling with little drama and good humor. It could not be better. Thank you Lois and your Team!"

“As first time homebuyers, we couldn't have asked for anyone better than Keelin. Keelin was knowledgeable, dedicated, responsive, honest, and beyond amazing. She guided us through the whole process, asking questions we didn't think to ask, and making sure we were informed every step of the way. Within hours of our soon-to-be-home being listed, she had contacted us and set-up an appointment for the next day because she didn't want us to miss out on the home she knew we would absolutely love. Keelin went above and beyond and we're forever grateful!”
– Alicia Petit
"Ruthie is by far the best real estate agent we’ve ever worked with.

Thank you, Belinda, for making our dream a reality!

“We think Keelin Love is a fantastic realtor. She helped us find our first rental apartment as a favor to a mutual friend. She then helped us find a perfect condo in downtown Charleston, and subsequently helped us sell the apartment.
In every instance she was detail-orientated, so that the buying and selling process was easy and uninterrupted. We won't hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a true professional.”

I did not know one person in the region and finding that key realtor/agent was vital to my successful entry into Charleston. I admit I was lucky to find Ruthie, and with her knowledge and skills, I purchased my house. Over the coming years I could see that her integrity, work ethic and desire to help people find their dreams, resulted in a very successful and distinguished career in the Charleston Real Estate market. Anyone who is serious about moving to Charleston needs to contact Ruthie and experience the professional process of finding their next home.”

"Ellery helped us buy our first home in Charleston and we couldn’t be happier with where we’ve landed! From our initial call about what we were looking for through each house we visited subsequently, Ellery carefully listened and used our feedback to guide us to what ended up being the house we would purchase. She is not only knowledgeable about flooding prone areas, but also very tuned in with local schools, great restaurants and other hidden gems within the neighborhoods. Highly recommend Ellery for anyone looking to find a home perfect for them in the downtown area!"
– Benjamin & Melissa Voorhees
"Keelin Love guided me through the selling process of my downtown Charleston condo and found just the right buyers for it. With it being a home built in the 1800's there were many issues to work through during closing. She smoothly handled all of them, and I knew that I could count on her to take measures necessary for the sale. She made sure that I was always informed of my options and was always there to answer any questions I had. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable of the Charleston real estate market and such a pleasure to work with. I was so glad to have her on my side during the process. As an adept and experienced realtor, I would certainly recommend her to my friends and family and will go to her with my own future real estate endeavors."

"Buying our new home with Keelin Love of Lois Lane Properties was an exciting venture for us. Her experience and extensive knowledge of the Charleston area was invaluable. She consistently exceeded our expectations and anticipated our needs. Keelin’s outgoing personality, sense of humor and generosity of spirit made her a pleasure to work with. As my wife and I were preparing to move from the Upstate of SC to Charleston, I was traveling back and forth for work. She patiently scheduled appointments for numerous properties in different areas, tirelessly accommodating my work schedule, so I could get a good idea of the properties available. Keelin helped me narrow down our options, so that when my wife joined me on a trip to Charleston a few weeks later, we viewed several properties and decided on our dream home! We continue to be amazed at her tireless commitment to both finding the right property, but also to helping ensure that we were well informed and prepared for the closing. There were occasions when would get home late from work and text Keelin with a question my wife or I had or reply to an email that I had missed while I was working, expecting a response the next day, only to have a reply from Keelin 15 minutes later. Smart, diligent, constantly available, responsive, great with prospects, thorough; all of this describes her."

"Lois did a great job selling our house. She knows the Charleston market well and priced our house appropriately.

We would definitely use Lois Lane again to buy or sell in Charleston!"
– Marylib Triplett
"Our real estate agent, Keelin Love of Lois Lane Properties, did a fantastic job helping us purchase a new home in Charleston, SC. My husband and I both had worked with real estate agents previously when purchasing homes in other areas, but we were pleasantly surprised with the excellent service that Keelin provided! She is a good listener and quickly learned what was most important to us in a new home.When we found the home we wanted, she helped us negotiate a fair price for the property. Once our offer was accepted, she worked tirelessly to make sure our contingencies and issues that came up after the building inspection were addressed to our satisfaction. We highly recommend Keelin as an excellent real estate agent who is a great listener, creative problem solver and someone who gets things done! Thank you, Keelin!"
– Pat Youngblood
"We couldn't have asked for a better agent than Ruthie. She really knows the Charleston market and helped us find exactly the kind of home we were looking for. She was incredibly responsive, and was a pleasure to work with. Perhaps best of all, even after closing, she has been a great resource in helping us find contractors and other local tradespeople for our house. We've worked with a number of realtors over the years in several cities and can unreservedly say that Ruthie is by far the best."
– Cindy O.
"I had an amazing experience with Keelin Love this past spring. Having to relocate for work with short notice and high expectations, Keelin made my rental search a breeze while helping me truly experience all the southern charm that Charleston has to offer. I highly recommend her to others (and have already) that may be looking for the perfect place - long term or maybe short term while learning the town before investing - in this beautiful location. She was proactive with all communications, extremely knowledgeable on the area with all the various nuances and proved to be a wonderful asset helping me find my new home. I won’t hesitate to use her again!"
– Madelynn M.
"Lois Lane Properties was fantastic to work with all the way around! A full service shop, Lois found us the perfect home in no time, and negotiated through all the terms including the inspections, repairs, etc. She recommended a great mortgage broker, Martin Lynch, who was also great to work with. We were working from out of town so this was super helpful. Ginger Scully managed our property for 4+ years as a rental until we could move to Charleston. She was beyond fantastic, extremely quick to respond to any issues and kept both us and the tenants happy. She has a rolodex of people to quickly fix any maintenance issues that arise. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to rent or buy in Charleston."
– Vicki Roberts
"I could not have asked for a better realtor than Keelin! Relocating from Virginia to South Carolina and with this being the first home I’ve purchased came with its challenges but she couldn’t have made it any easier. She has been not only knowledgeable but also attentive through the entire process. All of her recommendations were stellar and I felt fully confident in her abilities and as a result, closing happened in only a month! All of her personal touches made me feel like I was working with a friend. Would highly recommend!"
– Stephanie Popielarz

As a downtown resident with a lifelong connection to Charleston, Lois knows the city intimately – its history, geography, people and real estate. She is exceptionally well connected professionally and socially, which makes her particularly successful at introducing new residents to the city. Lois is organized, discreet, amiable and responsive. The process of buying and selling real estate with her has been a joy. And more importantly, successful. I love working with Lois. I can not endorse her highly enough."
– Lisa Baker
"Our experience with Keelin Love has been wonderful. She is smart, honest, professional and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the market. Keelin went above and beyond for us and was ALWAYS available to answer questions or for us to bounce thoughts off her and give us valuable advice. As out of town buyers, she was very accommodating of our schedules. We had a prolonged search for our dream home and she was patient as she led us through the process and eventually helped us find it. We would highly recommend her!!!"
– Bob and Chris H.
"In the past year we have used Lois Lane Properties to sell one home and buy another in Charleston. In addition, because we were so pleased with Lois Lane Properties expertise and professionalism we recommended them to a close friend who subsequently purchased a home through LLP. "Love Where you Live" is the motto of LLP and Lois and her team make it easy to do. I found LLP to be extremely knowledgeable about properties throughout the greater Charleston area and they had the ability to quickly match our needs to the perfect property. LLP listened carefully to what we wanted and worked tirelessly to find the right property. Upon identifying the property LLP walked us through the closing process, arranging for inspections, sending documents, answering all questions, which made the closing process seamless. Following the closing, LLP continued to follow up and offer assistance with recommendations for contractors, landscapers and other useful advice. To this day we consider Lois Lane to not only be an excellent and talented realtor, but also our friend."
– Wendy and Joe Maas

– Holly A.
"I can highly recommend Lois Lane to list and sell your property in Charleston. Her knowledge of the market and her rapport with the other real estate agents were clearly evident to me in the showings and the recent closing of my home. Since I was an out-of-town seller, I was very appreciative that Lois went the extra mile to coordinate showings with my tenant. Once under contract, she took care of the property inspection, the repair process, and all other steps between contract and closing. From listing to post closing, the communication via phone, text, and email were very important to me and Lois excelled at that as well. In my opinion, Lois is a true professional in her field!"

"Lois has helped me with the purchase of two properties in the Charleston area. The first was in 1999. She found the only property in the city that met my needs and has given me much needed advice over the years in my venture as a long distance landlord. In 2016 she went above and beyond what should be expected of an agent when I bought a house at Folly Beach. She definitely knows the area and couldn't have been more helpful to me. Her whole team was always available whenever I had a question or concern. I highly recommend Lois Lane Properties when you need someone to look after your best interests when buying a home or a rental property."
– Cathy Coulter

“For a variety of different reasons, we decided to sell a house we owned (and loved!) in the French Quarter. At the time we listed with Lois Lane Properties nobody had any idea what COVID was, or how it would impact pretty much everything. There were other challenges as well throughout the period of our listing, and we can say without reservation that Lois and her team were out in front of all of them in a candid, consultative, and client centered manner. With all of those experiences as “fresh memories” we would highly recommend Lois Lane Properties to anyone that is considering the purchase or sale of a home in Charleston”

She listened to all our needs and did not waste our time showing us unsuitable properties. Keelin was always prompt and fully informed about her showings."
– BJ and Dudley S.
"Keelin is amazing! I have a tight budget, to say the least, and Keelin found me the perfect house for my needs, in the #1 neighborhood I was targeting. Her negotiating skills made it possible for me to afford the down payment on the house without draining all of my savings. She responds immediately and is extremely professional and passionate about what she does. Her knowledge of the area is a huge plus, and made me feel comfortable with the neighborhood where I was shopping. Keelin was able to work with my schedule, which is not very flexible, often giving up a large portion of her Sundays. She has even given me great ideas for increasing the value of my new house, which is above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you, Keelin!"
– Chris M.
"Keelin was a great agent. She really went out of her way to help us find a house in the correct area we needed. She kept in constant contact. She even was working to help us when she went on vacation out of the country to Ireland to make sure the correct people contacted us."
– Kim and Sean McDonough
Keelin helped me purchase my first home in South Carolina. She is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of real estate and I found her style of communication to be extremely impressive and negotiating skills were wonderful. I was never left in the dark and she kept me updated throughout the entire process. Added bonus: she is super kind and caring and will always act in your best interest!! I couldn't be happier with my experience with Keelin and Lois Lane Properties!
– Alexander Blaisdell
My husband and I highly recommend Realtor Keelin Love. I cannot say enough good things about her – she is absolutely amazing! She is prompt, professional, and puts her clients first. We were first time homebuyers/new to Charleston and Keelin helped us find our dream home. Keelin has gone above and beyond for us. She really took us in and had our best interest at heart. She always showed us houses that were within our price range and that had our “must haves.” Keelin has lived here for years, so she is very familiar with all of the different areas of Charleston. Buying a home for the first time can be very overwhelming. When we were ready to make an offer on the house, she walked us through everything and made sure that we understood everything. She always kept us in the loop and was always 10 steps ahead. We put our full trust in Keelin and she always delivered.
– Caroline Damron
A short write-up can’t do justice as to how incredible it was working with Keelin Love to find our house in Charleston. My wife and I were moving to the area from Northern Virginia and Keelin spent three days and countless hours showing us the city. I’ve never visited a new area and felt more confident understanding the neighborhoods, history, and housing market. Although the perfect house wasn’t on the market the weekend we spent together, Keelin knew exactly what fit our budget and vision. As new listings came up, Keelin walked us through the neighborhood and toured the house on video. It was hard to believe we could find the perfect house without being back in town but Keelin made it possible. We couldn’t be more grateful and I couldn’t speak more highly of Keelin to help you find the next home of your dreams.
