About Charleston Real Team
Jim Grady and Gary Short met through Keller-Williams Realty in 2005. While working together at the same real estate agency, they realized they both possessed the same core values – integrity, morals, philanthropy, loyalty, and superior customer service. Jim and Gary also understood that real estate is about relationships and community, and they wanted to build upon those relationships and work together to help home buyers and sellers. In 2007, they joined forces and formed the Charleston Real Team.
