“Exceptional is the word I would use to describe my home buying experience with Charlie Mather. In the chaos of graduating from medical school, trying to sell my home in TN, and relocating to South Carolina, Charlie was diligent in researching the market to narrow down the selection to match our desired criteria. He went the extra mile by going to see each house we were interested in and emailing detailed commentary to further narrow our house hunt. My husband, my 15 month old son, and myself came to Columbia two months before our desired move date with a list of the final 10-15 houses we were interested in. The first house we visited ended up being the one we fell-in-love with and eventually purchased, though Charlie did take us to see 8-10 more just to solidify our decision. He was extremely accommodating even waiting in the car with our sleeping toddler while we looked at houses. Once we decided to make an offer, Charlie walked us through the negotiations with ease and professionalism making sure we were satisfied with the final offer. Charlie is a great person and wonderful realtor who I definitely recommend and plan to work with again in the future.”

“Working with Charlie made me feel very confident about my first-time home buying experience. He knew the market, knew how things worked and was great at explaining things. Coming from out-of-state, I really appreciated working with someone who knew Columbia so well. We were able to quickly find a great home that met my needs and get it for a great price, and get through all of the administrative stuff without any hassles for me. I’ll definitely work with Charlie again and recommend him to my friends.”

USC Professor

“Charlie helped us find our first home. Charlie was absolutely wonderful to work with through the entire process! He did lots of research to find houses that matched our style and always had many for us to look at. He was willing to show us houses anytime of the day, any day of the week, and constantly did whatever he could to make home buying process an easy one. If we put as much love and care into our house, as Charlie did helping us find it, we will definitely make it into a wonderful home!”

Project Manager

“After Match Day, my wife and I were very skeptical about being able to find a great place to live over 500 miles away from where we went to medical school. Working with Charlie turned out to the solution to our problem. Before even setting foot in South Carolina, Charlie had provided us the listings for over 50 houses that met the strict criteria we had sent him. Not only did that help us refine our search, it saved us a lot of time when we were finally able to come down and spend time looking at houses. Charlie was also fabulous to work with in person. He has a very calm demeanor and a profound knowledge of not only real estate in general, but the Columbia area as well. This proved invaluable as we spent hours looking at different houses all over the area. He provided new insight and a different perspective on our house search and ended up helping us find the perfect house for us and our situation. He also had the patience to sit hours a day in the car with an unhappy and cranky 18 month old, follow her around each house, and watch her go up and down the stairs so we could fully dedicate ourselves to the task at hand. I would recommend Charlie to friends or family without reservation.”

“We can’t say enough about Charlie Mather and The Wolfe Co. Relocating from another state is difficult and somewhat scary. Charlie made the process so easy for us. It is rare that you find a realtor as genuine and professional as Charlie Mather. Charlie was patient and helpful…we wouldn’t think of using anyone else! That’s why we recommend Charlie Mather, our favorite realtor and our friend!”

“Charlie, I want to thank you for all the time you have spent with Greg and Katie. I appreciate the advice you have given them as they work toward buying their first house. It is nice to know someone, who knows the business, is helping them with their decision. It has been a pleasure working with you.”

“We could not have chosen a better realtor to represent us in purchasing our first home. Charlie was patient and experienced. He selected homes to show us that were tailored to our preferences, doing tons of research before taking us out to tour the homes. Charlie is an excellent negotiator. He took care of every detail for us as quickly as possible, even coming back to town during the middle of his vacation so that we could hurry to close. We plan on using him in the future for our real estate needs. Thanks for everything, Charlie!”

“Charlie Mather was the inspiration I needed to prepare and successfully market the selling of my estate home. He statically suggested the minor repairs and conditioning needed to insure the top listing price and quick sale of the house. He went beyond his duties and obligations as my agent to help me with the details, references, and rapid completion, that was needed to list my home. Through his honesty, integrity, and diligence, my house was ready to market with a top listing price and appeal in a competitive market. My house sold quickly with a 100% return on a small investment I made to accentuate the qualities and up most appeal of the house. JOB WELL DONE CHARLIE!”
-Patrica

“We can not thank you enough for all your hard work and diligence in helping us purchase a home for our son to live in while he attends USC. You provided not only excellent professional advice but the much needed peace of mind for us as Out-of-State buyers in a city we had only visited a few times. Your knowledge of the fluid market in Columbia and your connections with various contractors and housing experts made for a very pleasant buying experience for both our son and us. We look forward to future endeavors with you.”
- Judy and Todd Hardt

“Charlie Mather is an honest, hardworking agent with his clients’ best interests in mind. Charlie worked with us to prepare and sell our house, helping us to achieve our goal in a timely manner for top dollar. Charlie was creative in marketing and negotiating, and was frequently in contact with us. I would recommend Charlie Mather as an agent to anyone who is buying or selling a home in Columbia.”
- Jen and Chris
Mother and Orthopedic Resident

“Charlie Mather was a TREMENDOUS help to my family in finding just the right house in Columbia for our son, who attends the University of South Carolina. As out of town buyers, he was careful to educate us about each residential area, the prices, the proximity to campus and the future resale potential. He patiently showed us many options, helping us define what we wanted in the home. Once we made an offer, he assisted us in negotiating the best price, terms of the contract and closing details! What a great guy he is to work with and such a knowledgeable real estate agent. I would work with him again, in a heartbeat!!”

“Charlie went WAY above and beyond our expectations for a realtor. Buying a home from out of state is challenging, but Charlie handled many of the hassles that come with closing without us even having to ask. He works very well with banks, inspectors, and other realtors, and he has many contacts in the Columbia area, including contractors if you’re looking to make renovations or upgrades. Our home buying process went very smoothly thanks to Charlie.”
- Richard

“Working with the Mather Co. is a blessing. Charlie is a true professional–he knows the market, he’s competent in all areas of the buying and selling process, and he keeps his clients in the loop and up to date on the market in general and on specific areas and houses within the market. His research is thorough. His insight is helpful. Whether looking for a family home or an investment, he guides his clients through every step. Charlie is patient, flexible, and is more committed to the client’s best interest than his own. I have recommended Charlie to some of my closest friends and will continue to do so!”
