Sometimes the next level requires you to start something of your own. 🔑🏡
Today, we’re excited to officially announce the opening of 1 Percent Lists S.P.E Realty and a major new chapter for our family.
After years of serving buyers and sellers as a REALTOR®, I’m proud to announce that I am now officially a South Carolina Real Estate Broker and Broker/Owner of 1 Percent Lists S.P.E Realty.
This moment means more to me than simply earning another title.
Before real estate, I spent more than 16 years in law enforcement serving people, protecting communities, educating the public, and helping people through situations where trust mattered. When I entered real estate, that same mindset came with me.
That’s where S.P.E. Serve. Protect. Educate. came from.
SERVE our clients at the highest level.
PROTECT their interests and their equity.
EDUCATE them so they can make confident real estate decisions.
And I’m not building alone.
By my side is my wife and business partner, Nekita Marlin Co-Owner and Director of Operations. She helps bring structure, organization, and consistency to the day-to-day operations while ensuring our systems are running smoothly and our clients receive an exceptional experience.
Together, we’re creating more than a real estate business. We’re building something bigger than transactions we are centered on service, education, strategy, and a genuine commitment to the people we serve.
We want buyers and sellers to understand what they’re doing, why they’re doing it, what it costs, and how their decisions affect their future.
And through the 1 Percent Lists model, we’re bringing another option to sellers: professional, full-service real estate representation with a 1% listing fee, subject to our minimum listing fee and the terms of the listing agreement.
Same commitment to our clients.
Same S.P.E. mission.
Columbia, SC and surrounding areas it’s time to S.P.E. what’s possible.
