What Clients Are Saying
"We wanted to say thanks again for all your help in getting us into our first home. Not only were we first time buyers but we were doing it from 2,700 miles away. Your website was extremely helpful in helping us get a good idea of the neighborhoods from afar and when we came out and met you in person, we, of course, were able to find our perfect home! You and your team made us feel very confident that everything was being taken care of both properly and timely so we could focus on our big move.
We really appreciate all the personal attention we received before, during and after our purchase. We love our neighborhood and look forward to our new Charleston life! Thank you and we hope to work with you again in the future!"

"Howard, I just wanted to say thanks again for all your help and guidance during the purchase of my home. Being a first-time home buyer I was unaware of exactly how much I didn't know. Your experience and expertise made the whole process flow almost seamlessly. In addition, I really respect the level of professionalism, honesty and ethical behavior you exhibited throughout the whole transaction. You've earned my trust and respect, and I will be happy to recommend you to any of my friends, family and co-workers down the road.
Now that we have closed, I can finally stop worrying about the details and celebrate the fact that I am now a homeowner. Thanks again for all your help and guidance and I look forward to working with you in the future."

"Howard Arnoff has been the best realtor we've met, bar none. When we were selling our first home (in AZ) we met with at least 3 or 4 realtors and quickly rejected going with any of them -- too pushy, rates unreasonable, abrasive attitudes, etc., -- with much frustration we managed to sell our own home and left the area.
Upon moving to Charleston and finding Howard, we were instantly comfortable and were able to smoothly find, negotiate and purchase a home in just a few days.
Not only has he accommodated our sometimes odd requests ... but he has continued to stay involved. Howard is the only realtor we have ever used, and the only realtor we ever plan on using again."
Drs. Craig and Laura Koniver
"After Hurricane Katrina, my husband and I were moving to Charleston SC without ever having visited the city before. Being an Internet user, I searched many different Realtors on line. I found Howard Arnoff, and was immediately impressed that he was donating portions of his commissions to Katrina relief through the Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity. Due to the fact that we were communicating from different cities and mostly by email, Howard was always quick with a return reply and had ample pictures of various homes. In fact, we became so reliant on Howard and his great suggestions that we scheduled a weekend trip into the city and found the perfect house for us on the very first day! He's not only an outstanding Realtor and Internet savvy, but a great communicator, tour guide, and now friend. With so many choices out there, I recommend Howard Arnoff and his first class service for all your home buying needs."

"Howard Arnoff was excellent --- we were very impressed with his knowledge of the area. He made himself available even on short notice."

"Howard kept me well informed through all phases of the negotiations and closing. I appreciated his efforts." (an out of town client selling a parcel of land)

"This is a letter of appreciation regarding Howard Arnoff‘s personal care and assistance to my family. We relocated to Charleston as I accepted a position with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center – Charleston. The move was coordinated within the government whereas I secured Mr. Arnoff’s services on his merit as a federal relocation expert, I had neither prior experience nor references for him.
Our expectation for Howard was that he would be generally efficient with no personalization. We anticipated help with the realtor’s goal to buy the most expensive house and move on. As such, Diana and I spent many hours on the internet looking for the “perfect” home in the “perfect” neighborhood. All of our advance efforts regarding the purchase of a home were for naught as many favored houses sold before we were ready, were not as advertised or just weren’t right. We found that for the all of the internet’s advantages, its usage was poor in determining many factors: quality of the neighborhood, accessibility, new trends, traffic, etc.
Howard proved remarkable as we moved forward to purchase a house. His area knowledge of services, communities and all the issues that a family relocating demands is incredible. He literally spent days with us committed to getting the “perfect” house. As we continued, several issues and concerns developed that he tackled smoothly from the perspective of a friend, not a salesman. Simply, he made our family’s challenge his own and would not be stopped
Howard received a call from us on a Sunday morning before 7am. His response was his normal cheery laugh while informing us that he had found the perfect house. All before 7 am on a Sunday morning. The story should end as we bought that house that is now our home.
However, we ran into problems beyond those anticipated during settlement. Howard had a hand in resolving them all. After settlement and today, we call him for directions to a park or advice on purchasing appliances or simply to say hello. Beyond being a phenomenal person and an incredible talent, he is a genuine gentleman.
We were fortunate that our path’s crossed. My family can say without hesitation that anyone needing help in the purchase of a home would be remiss not utilizing Howard."

"I wanted to take a moment and express my sincere appreciation. You listed and sold my house in Kensington Park and represented myself and my parents in the purchase of 2 new homes.
It was nice to sit back and realize that you had everything under control, always ready to assist and answer any questions, a true professional. I will be sure to recommend you to anyone buying or selling in the future."
Michael Stone
"Howard, you have really been great with us. You helped us in every way possible. You were always there with an answer for us. Thank you for everything."
Theresa and Jack Fry
"Howard, Ryan and I just want to thank you again for taking the time to show us around, we had a great time. We especially are grateful that you helped us out so much in the purchase of our new home."
Cathie and Ryan Decker
"Thank you again for all your help during the process of selling my home. Your constant devotion reduced the stress of selling my home tremendously. All of the advice you gave me before, during and after the sale of my house were right on target. Your flexibility to change marketing strategies enabled me to have my home sell quickly.
In closing, I would like to say that few people realize what it takes to be a real estate agent. If you think about it, real estate agents are like salesman, psychiatrists and doctors. They know how to sell a house like a salesman, they know how to listen like a psychiatrist and they prescribe change to fix problems when needed like doctors. So thanks for doing all of those things for my family."
Susan Hardee
"To Howard, the 'best realtor of the year'. Thank you for all the big and little extra things you did to make our move to SC come true."
