Bylaws Review Committee

Tabatha was born in Pekin, IL, but her parents quickly corrected that mistake so she could be raised in beautiful Aiken, SC. She has been in "real estate support" for over 18 years and loves her REALTOR® Family. Her favorite things about Aiken are the vibrant downtown, nature preserves, and pet-friendly businesses. When Tabatha is not at work, you can catch her watching reality TV, cross-stitching, and hanging out with her two furbabies and husband!

👋 Hello, I'm Charles Byrd

After 19 years of dedicated service in the U.S. Army, including eight combat tours, I found myself facing an early medical retirement during the COVID-19 pandemic. This unexpected transition, paired with a tough job market, led me to channel my military discipline and strategic mindset into entrepreneurship. I leveraged my personal properties to build a successful real estate portfolio, starting with one home and growing to manage over 100 short-term rental contracts with consistent five-star ratings. This hands-on experience taught me the ins and outs of property investment, a passion I now use to serve my clients.

A Passion for Service 🫡

My time in the Army as a First Sergeant, where I was entrusted with the leadership of the Elite AH-64 Apache Charlie Company 1-101, instilled in me an unwavering sense of duty, accountability, and a meticulous approach to complex planning. These aren't just military skills—they are the bedrock of my real estate practice. I'm committed to bringing the same level of precision and dedication to your homeownership journey, ensuring your goals are met with the utmost professionalism.

For my fellow veterans and active-duty personnel, I understand the unique challenges you face. I've personally navigated the complexities of VA loans and the emotional weight that can come with using the benefits you've earned through profound sacrifice. My mission is to make your transition into homeownership as smooth and respectful as possible, guiding you with deep empathy and transparent communication every step of the way.

Beyond the Battlefield: Expertise for Every Client 🏡

While my background gives me a special connection to the military community, my expertise extends to helping all clients. I hold a Master's Degree in Public Policy from Liberty University, which provides me with a unique analytical perspective on market trends, housing policies, and community development. This academic insight, combined with my proven success in property management, allows me to help you not just buy a house, but strategically build lasting financial security and generational wealth through real estate.
