Byron Barrow

REALTOR^®

With deep roots in the construction industry, my perspective as a licensed South Carolina Builder and REALTOR® has been shaped by generations of family craftsmanship. My passion for building began with the homes constructed by my great-grandfather, who owned and operated a pine sawmill in eastern North Carolina, supplying quality lumber throughout the region. Growing up around construction fostered a deep appreciation for quality, attention to detail, and timeless design.

For more than 25 years, I have specialized in building and renovating luxury custom homes throughout the South Carolina Lowcountry. As both builder and REALTOR®, I offer a rare combination of construction expertise and market knowledge that few real estate professionals can match.

My extensive experience managing high-end residential projects gives clients valuable insight that extends far beyond a traditional real estate transaction. Whether evaluating a property's renovation potential, design possibilities, structural integrity, construction quality, or long-term resale value, I can help a client determine whether a property is truly worth the investment. My builder's perspective allows me to identify opportunities to add value, recognize hidden or costly issues before they become problems, and help clients envision what a home can realistically become before making an offer.

Whether guiding clients through the purchase of a luxury residence, investment property, waterfront homesite, or a home ready for transformation, I am committed to providing honest advice, exceptional service, and a seamless experience from the first showing through closing and beyond.

When Byron is not overseeing jobs onsite or helping clients navigate the real estate market, you can find him at the beach or on the boat fishing with his wife and two kids and their Springer Spaniel.

Happy Clients.

"As a real estate investor, I have used Desiree to buy and sell several homes. She knows the local area, has great connections, and goes over and beyond what is expected of a realtor. That being said, she works exceptionally hard for her clients and is on top of every detail. She is the only REALTOR^® that I would and will ever use in Charleston."

Jaquelyn Smith | Seller

"Desiree was there for us every step of the way. From the initial assessment of our property, to helping us price and list it, to staging it, to helping manage the offers and finally help with the closing. She was even there to check on the property for me when I was out of town and keep out intruders."

Ron N. | Seller

"Desiree was great to work with while selling our house. She was very knowledgeable about the market in our area, and I trusted her advice. She was always available to for questions, which was important to us since this was our first time selling a house. She provided weekly updates on the market. I would highly recommend Desiree to anyone buying or selling a house in the Charleston area."

Lindsey Capps | Seller

"Desiree was a pleasure to work with, very knowledgeable and listened to what was important to me in my search. Since I am new to Charleston she was very helpful in selecting the perfect home in a perfect location. She walked me through all of the steps, provided me with the best home inspector, and real estate attorneys. Overall seamless experience."

Ann Telelli | Buyer

"Desiree Maurer was an excellent agent for us. My son moved into the area first and recommended Desiree. She was excellent with his purchase and with ours as well. She was very knowledgeable, personable, accessible, and responded promptly. She provided good guidance throughout the buying process and worked to keep things moving along. She is one of the best agents that I have used. I highly recommend and would use her again myself."

Ken Laing | Buyer

"I highly recommend Desiree to anyone needing the service of a real estate professional in the SC area. I live out of state and was unsure of how easy or difficult it would be to work with an agent under those circumstances, however, Desiree was absolutely wonderful. She is responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. It was a smooth process from start to finish. I give her five stars!"

J. Will | Seller

"Being a first time home buyer, I could not have hoped for a more knowledgeable and helpful real estate agent than Desiree Maurer. She was nearly always available to answer any of our questions, no matter how simple or what time of day, and most importantly she didn't stop explaining until we were satisfied. I cannot put in words how strongly I recommend Desiree to anyone trying to buy or sell a house, she genuinely made what could've been an extremely stressful time into the most exciting time of my life."

Tim Blake | Buyer

"We were relocating to the area during the height of the Covid shut down. Desiree did a great job of face-timing us when she went to see houses. She looked in all the corners, at the ceilings, flooring... all the things that matter. She went as soon as possible to the houses to give us a shot at them during a time when most houses were going under contract within a day. Desiree is very knowledgeable about the area and knew from an address whether it was somewhere for us. We had some serious difficulties with our sellers meeting deadlines and Desiree was pro-active and kept after them and helped to calm our frazzled nerves through the entire process. Her recommendations for inspectors and other professionals were great."
