Growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, Jordy experienced the effect real estate development was having on rural areas surrounding Washington’s Capital Beltway, and he observed how those communities created their own centers – each with its own unique cultural attributes – to counteract the effects of sprawl. When he began his freshman year at the College of Charleston, he immediately recognized that Charleston was following a similar pattern for growth.

Today, Jordy explains, through strategic and thoughtful urban planning, the diverse areas inside Charleston’s I-526/Mark Clark Expressway loop have grown in importance. Daniel Island, in particular, has become an important city center due to its aesthetic appeal and geographic proximity to Charleston International Airport, area waterways, beaches and historic downtown.

In his position at Daniel Island Real Estate, Jordy enjoys meeting the large number of visitors hailing from the mid-Atlantic states and pointing out the active yet relaxed lifestyle Charleston and its mild climate and culture avails visitors and current and future residents. “I appreciate maintaining an active lifestyle, especially in the winter months. From fishing and boating to golf and tennis and miles of trails, Daniel Island has an unparalleled mix of amenities, and it gives me great pleasure to share why this small town may be exactly what visitors are looking for.”
