Working with Marinela Doar and Amy Byrne was such a delight. They did all the heavy lifting and Marinela took care of everything and made it so easy and stress free. We had trouble getting the house sold and a horrible experience with another relator and when we switched it was a complete 180 and got the house sold pretty quickly! Definitely recommend them, they were amazing!
I just bought my first home, and Amy Byrne has been amazing every step of the way. She went above and beyond for me, and I don’t think I would have landed the house of my dreams without her. She has also put together an incredible team of people that made everything as easy and seamless as possible. Since this was my first home buying experience, I definitely had a lot of questions. Amy patiently answered all of my questions (at all times of day, even when I wasn’t expecting an answer back because it was later in the day) and she is very knowledgeable about the area and everything in her field. She is very honest and trustworthy, and I have already recommended her to multiple people I know that are starting to look at houses in Charleston.
As a first-time home buyer, I really wasn’t sure what to expect—but working with Amy Byrne made the entire experience so smooth and empowering. She took the time to educate me every step of the way, answering all my questions with patience and clarity. I never felt overwhelmed or out of my depth because she made sure I understood each part of the process. One of the things I appreciated most was how much Amy truly cared about me finding the right home. She never rushed me or pushed me to make an offer. In fact, she made it a point to ensure I loved a place before even considering moving forward. And if something didn’t make sense—whether it was the price, location, or condition—she had no problem steering me away and helping me stay focused on what really mattered. Her honesty, integrity, and commitment to my best interest were clear from day one. Thanks to Amy, I found a home I’m genuinely excited about. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a realtor who’s as smart as she is caring.
If you are looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, personable, an incredible communicator, and who goes above and beyond for her clients... Amy is the one!! She put so much time and effort into helping us find our perfect home! As out-of-state buyers, she offered us invaluable knowledge and assistance, which was crucial in leading us in the right direction on our home purchase. It also did not go unnoticed that she treated us with the utmost respect and consideration even though we are very young buyers and naive in many parts of the process! Her assistant Madison was also very helpful during this process, from sending detailed home tour videos in the beginning, all the way to meeting with vendors post-close for us! I could not recommend this duo enough and know our relationship will transcend just this one home purchase!
We met Amy Byrne through our son two years ago. She had helped him find a home when he was moving to Charleston. She became our agent as well and we enjoyed all the support and input as we went through the journey of buying our new home. Amy was with us in this process every step of the way. Her professionalism and exceptionally prompt replies to our questions were the qualities that stand out among the rest. She was always there to explain things and help in calming our worries. She has great resources available for every aspect of real estate transactions which together with her knowledge and experience made the process of buying the home very smooth for us. It is great to have an agent you can trust.
Amy Byrne is clearly the best real estate agent we've ever worked with. We've been buying and selling our own houses since 1978 so we know when we have a real winner. She gets to know your likes and dislikes, searches for houses that are a good fit, and takes it from there. She knows the neighborhoods, market, trends, and so much more! Amy also makes it clear that she wants you to LOVE your new home, so she is very patient and happy to show you as many houses as it takes to get you there. We simply can't say enough good things about this friendly, professional, hard-working, dedicated sales agent!
Amy put in an incredible lot of effort and time helping us through the buying process. She spent a significant amount of time learning about what my wife and I were looking for from the moment we met. From that point forward, she was always ready to offer me with the knowledge I needed in every decision I made, no matter how minor or large, this was important to her. Not only did I have all of the information I needed to make those decisions, but I also felt like I was in great hands. Amy went above and above to help us locate precisely what we were looking for. She showed us houses that many other realtors needed to learn about and provided us with significant insights into the local market. She was quite accommodating in terms of scheduling viewings and making herself available on short notice when needed. 10000% I would recommend Amy as your realtor!
We are beyond grateful for all the help in finding our first home. It was a long and draining process but Amy, and Regina went above and beyond!!!! They did so much that wasn’t even required of them. They moved quickly to get things done when they were asked in such a short notice. We will definitely recommend them to everyone we know wanting to buy a home. WE ARE ETERNITY GRATEFUL!
We have spent the last 6 years in Turkey with 3 of those years spent raising our first born. When we wanted to move back to the USA we decided on Charleston but had the pleasant fate of linking up with Amy Byrne for the house purchase. A house is one of the biggest expenses and my wife and I can be "divas" when it comes to what we were looking for. Amy was able to manage our wants/desires, the international challenges, and all the complications a toddler adds to the equation. Amy was the epitome of professionalism with a strong working knowledge of the area and where to find the house we wanted. Articulate, punctual and customer-focused. We always felt she was working on our behalf. For anyone considering working with Amy, don't hesitate.
Amy Byrne is AMAZING!! I was lucky enough to connect with her to help a couple who lived in Summerville, SC and were planning to move to Pittsburgh, PA. They needed to sell their home first before moving to the Pittsburgh area. We made a connection instantly and I knew this would be a super smooth transaction and my clients were in amazing hands! She kept me posted on through every step to ensure I was in the know and communicate accordingly. I highly recommend working with Amy and the Andy Bovender Team if you need any help with a client moving to the Carolinas. Thank you so much, Amy!! :)
I am a NY Realtor who referred a dear family friend to Amy Byrne of the Andy Bovender Team out of the Charleston office. My client was looking to relocate after living in NY for her whole life. It was important to me that I paired my client with an agent who not only knew the area but was also going to understand my client. Amy NAILED IT. She was a perfect fit and helped my client get an accepted offer in a tricky market, all while keeping me in the loop. I look forward to growing my referral business with Amy and the team as the years go on!
Amy was very receptive from the beginning and answered all of our questions along the way. She coached us through the hard parts of the process. We really appreciated her knowledge of the area since we were really moving to an unfamiliar place for us. We were a few states away and in a time crunch! She made it all happen and we were able to move in even earlier than expected!! I would recommend Amy to anyone wanting to purchase a home in the Charleston/Summerville area
My best friend in Boston works for Compass and she introduced us to Amy and her team, as we started our search in Charleston for our first home. Even before flying cross country from CA to see the area, Amy took the time to listen to all of our needs and wants and we immediately trusted her after vetting 7+ other realtors in the area. It was also my boyfriend's first time in Charleston and we could not have been in better hands. She knew every neighborhood inside and out and provided us with incredible insight. We ended up falling in love with the first place we saw and after going to 10+ more houses that same weekend, she helped us put together an incredible offer on our dream home which was accepted the following afternoon. She is an excellent negotiator with a very personalized touch. Amy also recommended an incredible local lender to us. At every turn of this process, my boyfriend and I have asked each other multiple times, "Is buying a house really this easy?" And that is all thanks to Amy and her incredible team. Even though she is our realtor, we also now consider Amy to be our friend. If you're looking to buy your first home (or any home), look to Amy!
Amy has been incredible throughout the entire experience of finding our new home in Charleston. She listened to the things we truly wanted in our home and guided us thorough the many aspects that we didn’t even know we needed to consider. She helped us to make big decisions for design, space, value, potential in properties, and every other fine detail. Amy was very attentive and dedicated as she supported us through making a decision in only 5 days while being in Charleston. She is by far the best agent I’ve ever worked with and I’d recommend her to anyone. If you get the chance to work with her, you’ll see how professional, caring, positive and attentive she is. Thank you Amy for helping my family find our perfect home.
We relocated to Charleston from Seattle and Amy was absolutely amazing. She is easy to work with, very good with communication and was always there for us. We didn’t have time to fly to Charleston to actually see the home we ended up purchasing and we never doubted our decision. Amy was so helpful along the way by providing detailed photos and videos of the home for us along with the many other tasks we couldn’t be there for in person. We would absolutely work with her again if need be and would recommend her to anyone looking in the Charleston area.
Amy Byrne was our saving grace when we moved out of New York State and into a new construction home in South Carolina! She made the process easy with her knowledge of the market, great communication skills, thoroughness, and her responsiveness. We never felt like we were alone in the process. She was there for us every step of the way, and always had our backs! She also has a sweet personality and feels more like a friend than a realtor. We really trust Amy and would use her again in a heartbeat. We referred her to my mother and father-in-law, who are also moving down to the area, and our friends as well. Moving out of state is a very scary process but with Amy's help, we couldn't be happier in our new home.
Amy was highly recommended to us by Eric Layne at CØMPASS. Not only is she very knowledgeable, she is kind, very sweet and funny. She was a perfect match for us. Amy found the house and neighborhood that fit exactly what we wanted. She handled every bit of it with such professionalism. Inspections etc were completed at a fast and thorough pace. If you are looking for the best realtor in the area, look no further. Amy is the best and we look forward to doing business with her again.
Amy is great. She was a tremendous asset helping us purchase our property, from her negotiation skills to her recommendations for mortgage lending and home owners insurance. She was always available with quick responses to any of our questions and needs. She would send us video walk throughs of our home through out the build process. My wife and I highly recommend Amy and her team
Amy was beyond phenomenal!! My husband and I uprooted our life from PA to SC knowing no one here and Amy has been nothing but a blessing. She’d take time out of her busy day to just call me and check in and see how I’m doing about the move and relate to me and just let me talk. That right there being a selfless , kind, and genuine person is something that makes Amy stand out above so many others. She actually cares and it shows in her work how above and beyond she went for us. From answering right away, to going to our property for deliveries before we got down ,, I’d consider amy now a friend and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help with our transition down south. If you work with Amy you’re getting someone who’ will go to any ends for your happiness and there’s not a lot of people like that in this world . Thank you for everything!!
We reached out to Amy to help us find a home in the Charleston-Summerville area. As a family of 6 with 4 kids under 10, we were in search of our dream home moving from California. Amy was so patient with us as first time home buyers and really took time to get to know us; ultimately finding the best new community and home for our family. I can’t say enough about Amy, her professionalism, and kind nature she brings to this process. Thank you Amy for everything you have done to help our family make the move from California to beautiful Summer’s Corner!

Amy is one of the best agents I have ever worked with. Amy is very well informed about buying or selling a home in South Carolina. She has gone above and beyond to help us purchase our new home. Amy has always made us feel very comfortable every step of the way. Day or night she has always been available to answer our questions and any concerns. Buying a home in this market is stressful and whenever we experienced a bump in the road, she has always been by our side to help us overcome any obstacles or challenges. I highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell their home to contact Amy right away!
Amy was a pleasure to work with. She was a great blend of professionalism and caring personality. She knew the area well and was able to sell our home very quickly. The communication was great, so we were always in the loop. The process was easy and stress free! I would highly recommend Amy Byrne as well as the Compass team to sell your property.
Amy is INCREDIBLE! She was always available to answer our many questions, and was so helpful to put our minds at ease through a stressful market. When our home showed up on the market, she was immediately in contact with the selling agent to get us in the door first. She helped us craft an attractive offer, and get it in quickly. Her knowledge and professionalism are top notch, and because of her we were able to secure our dream first home. We couldn’t recommend her enough.
If your are looking for a realtor in Charleston, your search stops with Amy. I moved from out of state and needed a local expert to help me navigate the local market, find a neighborhood that fit my lifestyle, and make competitive offers. I was in good hands with Amy. In addition to her expertise as an agent, she connected me with experts around town from lenders to cleaning services. If/when I move again, I will use Amy. 12/10 would recommend.
As first time homebuyers who were new to the area, my husband and I could not have been more naïve to the complex and competitive Charleston real estate market. We were SO lucky to have found Amy. We were moving from Los Angeles and after just one day of touring homes, we found our needle in the haystack. She was quick to get a contract out and made the negotiation process a breeze. Highly communicative and incredibly kind, Amy made all the difference in ensuring our first home was one that was perfect for us.
Absolutely wonderful!! Amy was knowledgeable, extremely responsive and very helpful. We definitely recommend Amy to anyone going through the home buying/selling process!!
Amy took great care of my nephew and niece! She helped them along the way answering any questions they had and guided them through the process. She found them the perfect home!!
Amy Byrne was such a pleasure to work with! She was instrumental in helping us find the right home. We relocated to the Charleston area from out of state and she was recommended by our local realtor. From our first discussion it was apparent that she was a great fit for us. She was excited to work with us, confident that we would be successful in our search, and very knowledgeable of the area. She was always very responsive, personable, and professional. I truly believe her negotiating skills were directly responsible for our offer being accepted. Amy walked us through a very complex process with ease and continued to keep in touch even after all the documents were signed. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Amy was so amazing to work with! She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, personable and professional. She helped my husband and I buy our first home that is beyond our expectations. She spent a significant amount of time learning our wants and needs in a home. She was always available and eager to help answer any and all questions (which was quite a bit as first time home buyers). There were multiple offers on our home and Amy went above and beyond to have our offer accepted; her negotiating skills and experience are outstanding! Even after closing, Amy is still very helpful and has sent us reliable referrals for local home repairs. We couldn’t be more thankful for Amy and all of her hard work and expertise in our home buying journey.
The Andy Bovender Team pairs deep Carolinas market knowledge with the reach of Compass. Expect straight answers, sharp preparation, and a process that stays simple, whether you are buying, selling, or both.
