In his first year in real estate, Oliver sold more real estate by volume in McClellanville and Awendaw than any other agent and has continued this momentum over the last decade, achieving the mark again in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Oliver was a Gold level REALTOR of Distinction in 2021 and 2023 and also ranks in the top 10 agents in all of Charleston Trident Association of Realtors for sold lots in the last 10 years.
Oliver offers invaluable knowledge of McClellanville, Awendaw, and the surrounding area for buyers and sellers navigating purchases of rural and waterfront homes and properties. His relationships with the local community make up an extensive network of contacts that he draws from daily to assist his clients in their varied real estate endeavors.
Having been in the hardware and lumber business for over 25 years, Oliver has an in-depth background in construction and land maintenance, as well as a long-standing rapport with the area’s top contractors and builders.

His journeys have led him to be featured in Men’s Journal magazine, The Cooking Channel, The New York, Chicago and Charleston Food and Film Festivals, and the short film ‘The Mud and The Blood’. As a native of the area with centuries of family history here, Oliver’s knowledge of surrounding waters and local geography when assessing hunting land and rural properties is of great value to clients.
