Kimberly Ritter, REALTOR in Mt. Pleasant, SC, Surpasses $200 Million in Career Sales
Nov 4, 2026
Kimberly Ritter is a REALTOR® and Broker Associate with Carolina One Real Estate, bringing 21 years of experience. With over $200 million in career sales and 600 homes sold, she serves Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, Isle of Palms, and Charleston, holding six real estate credentials.
Mount Pleasant, SC USA, November 4, 2026 -- Kimberly Ritter, a Broker Associate with Carolina One Real Estate, has crossed $200 million in career sales.
The number is worth noting mostly because of what it took to get there. It represents more than 600 transactions and several hundred households who hired her across four distinct Charleston market cycles, over 21 years with Carolina One Real Estate and a career in real estate spanning 28 years.
But the transaction Ritter points to from 2026 did not come from a listing alert, and it explains more about the practice than the total does.
The I'On Buyers Who Got There First
An out-of-state couple came to Ritter with one requirement, and it was unusually narrow.
They wanted to live in I'On, the Mount Pleasant neighborhood. Not a comparable community, not a short list of luxury options around Charleston. I'On specifically.
That created an immediate problem. Turnover there is limited, and the kind of property they wanted rarely reaches the market.
Rather than set an MLS alert and wait, Ritter worked her local network until she learned a matching property was expected to list. The husband flew in. When the listing went active, she had him inside the house within roughly the first hour. His wife could not be there, so Ritter walked them through it on video while he toured in person.
They moved immediately, and secured the property before competing offers arrived.
Everyone Gets the Same Alert
The I'On transaction illustrates something specific about a market like Mount Pleasant.
Technology has made listing notifications instantaneous, which means every qualified buyer receives the same alert at the same moment. In a neighborhood with real scarcity, that levels the field rather than creating an advantage.
The advantage comes earlier: knowing what is likely to come to market, understanding a neighborhood well enough to recognize the right property on sight, and having buyers prepared enough to act inside an hour rather than a week.
Ritter's contribution was not unlocking the door. It was having spent enough time understanding what these buyers wanted that she recognized the fit before the property was widely exposed, and being positioned to move when it was.
Four Market Cycles, Four Different Playbooks
Ritter's 28-year real estate career spans changing market conditions, from limited inventory and multiple-offer competition to buyer-favorable markets and shifting interest rates. According to the Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS, September 2026 recorded 1,538 closed sales, up 9.5% year over year, with a median price of $425,000, up 0.7%. Days on market increased to 55, while months supply declined to 3.6.
In Downtown Charleston, detached homes reached a median price of $2,350,000, up 36.2%, while sellers received 92.1% of their original asking price and days on market rose to 58. These trends highlight the importance of accurate pricing, market knowledge, and timely decisions. Ritter helps buyers and sellers navigate these conditions through strategies outlined in her seller's guide, buyer's guide, and article on how to choose a listing agent in Mount Pleasant.
