What Clients Say
Trusted by families across Charleston, Summerville, Mount Pleasant and the Lowcountry.
★★★★★
“Irina is the best!! She pays attention to detail and is very knowledgeable in her field. She went above and beyond to help make my selling experience wonderful. She sold my house in 2 days, and I was very happy with the whole experience. I will definitely use her again if I buy or sell.”

“We were so fortunate to have Irina as our realtor. She was very knowledgeable of the whole Charleston area and well versed with the builders. She knew a lot of hidden fees with builders in the master planned communities we looked at. We have moved 9 times over 40 years and Irina was the most professional, reliable realtor we have ever used.”

“If you are looking for the best realtor in the Charleston area, search out Irina Bordyn. Irina began by telling us how to stage our home so buyers could see the potential. Long story short, we sold for our asking price. We loved Irina so much we asked her to help us find a single family home in a new development. This lady is the best.”

“Moving from California to Charleston was much easier due to the diligence, knowledge, and care given to us by Irina. Hands down she was the best realtor – she listened to our needs, provided fair and honest advice, and did all of this while we were states away. She was a great negotiator on our behalf and spoke to us daily.”

“I've had the pleasure of working with Irina Bordyn on six separate sales in the Charleston area, and I can confidently say she is the best realtor in town. Her attention to detail is absolutely unmatchable. Having worked with many realtors over the past 30 years, Irina stands out in the best possible way.”

“I randomly got connected to Irina through Zillow and I can truly say I was extremely lucky to have her. She's hard working, considerate, quick to respond, ALWAYS picks up the phone, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She even showed up to a property after repairs were made to ensure they were done correctly when I couldn't make it myself.”

How I Help
Tap any card to see what you can expect.
I guide buyers through every step of the search – from identifying the right neighborhoods to negotiating offers – with honest, no-sugarcoating advice so you know exactly what you are getting into before you commit.
I help sellers price strategically, prepare their home to show well, and manage the process from listing to closing, with clear communication at every stage.
I help buyers navigate new-build purchases – from understanding builder contracts and timelines to spotting what to ask for during walkthroughs – and I know what builders offer in incentives. Paired with my experience in Charleston's historic housing stock, you get both sides of the market.
Having relocated to Charleston myself in 2014, I understand what it takes to move somewhere new. I help relocating clients get oriented quickly – from neighborhood fit to school zones to commute realities.
I help buyers explore the Charleston area's active-adult and 55+ communities – comparing amenities, HOA structures, lot sizes and new-construction options so you find the right fit for your next chapter, with the same honest, no-sugarcoating advice I bring to every purchase.
I work with investors to evaluate potential purchases based on local market trends, rental demand, and long-term value, drawing on Charleston-specific market knowledge.
Communities
Where I Work
Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, the islands, and the Lowcountry towns around them.

Belle Hall is a well-established, tree-lined community in Mount Pleasant known for its mix of traditional and Lowcountry-style homes, ponds, and walking trails.
Carolina Bay · West Ashley, Charleston
Carolina Bay is a newer, master-planned community in West Ashley built around a central town-center concept with pools, parks, and a lake.
Nexton · Summerville
Nexton is one of the largest and fastest-growing master-planned communities in the Charleston region, spanning Berkeley and Dorchester counties.

Who I Work With
Tap any card to see how I work with you.
Buying your first home is mostly a vocabulary problem – earnest money, due diligence, closing costs. I explain every step before you are asked to sign anything, share my free buyer guide, and flag the risks you would not know to ask about, so you commit with real confidence.
Most of my clients are moving in the $400K-$800K range, where selling one home and buying the next have to be timed against each other. We build the plan – sell first or buy first, contingent or not – before your home ever hits the market.
New construction is my specialty. I represent you, not the builder: contracts, timelines, what to ask for at walkthroughs, and which incentives builders in the Charleston area are actually offering right now.
Moving to South Carolina from out of state is my second niche. I relocated here myself in 2014, so I walk you through neighborhood fit, school zones and commute realities – often over video – before you tour a single home.
PCS timelines, VA loans and buying sight-unseen all need an agent who moves fast and communicates daily. I have helped families buy across the Charleston area from states away, and I keep you in the loop at every step.
