ZillowVERIFIED I had the pleasure of working with Peter Kouten and his team with the sale of a property recently in Nth Charleston. Peter was knowledgeable, experienced and a great negotiator. He walked me through every step of the process and kept me informed in a very timely manner with great advise. I highly recommend Peter and his team if you are looking for an agent in the Charleston, SC area.

ZillowVERIFIED John is an excellent agent. I bought my first home with his older brother, Peter, and the apple does not fall far from the tree. Very responsive, knowledgeable, and not looking for the quick transaction. Theyre in this to gain you as a long term client and will continue to work with you beyond just the purchase/sell. 100% would

ZillowVERIFIED This was my second time having Peter as my agent to help me purchase a home. There was a reason I came back to Peter and he did not disappoint this time around either. He is a go-getter and guided me and my fiancA(C)e throughout the entire process. He gets the answers to any and all questions with promptness and ensures your process is as smooth as possible. From setting up and attending showings, to always making sure we were up to date on any information, Peter is a pleasure to work with. I will be using him for all of my home buying in the future!

ZillowVERIFIED Over the years I've worked with quite a few Agents and I can say that Peter is one of the best I've ever worked with. He was always cool, calm and collected on every aspect of the buying & selling process. We've now used him three times and was always professional, responsive at all times. The follow-through and follow-up on any issue was top shelf service. I wish him all the best!

ZillowVERIFIED Peter helped us sell a home remotely in the Charleston, SC suburbs. I cannot overstate how great our experience with Peter was and his willingness to help meet with and manage service providers we had coming out to the house to get it prepared to sell. Peter's knowledge of the markets in the Charleston area, his responsiveness and his patience guiding us through the process were 2nd to none. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a realtor to help them sell their home.

ZillowVERIFIED I cant say enough great things about John Kouten! From the very beginning, he always made himself available, answered all of our questions, and went above and beyond. We couldnt have asked for a better realtor to help us in our home search and walk us through every step of purchasing. Hes patient, understanding and very knowledgeable about all parts of the process. Were so happy in our new home and couldnt thank John more. We recommend him to any and everyone!

ZillowVERIFIED When my brother passed in 2021, Peter was referred to us by our probate attorney. That was the best referral possible. We had a total of 5 properties in two different counties and Peter took the reins and guided us through the sales. We sold the first property in April of 2022 and sold the final property Jan 2024. Peter put a lot of time and effort into helping us and we very much appreciate his helpfulness and steadfast work ethic to get these properties sold. Not to mention we live out of state approximately a 12 hour drive to South Carolina and he handled all of the transactions without a flaw (all closings done at home no travel to SC). I cannot say enough about Peter's handling my late brother's real estate, but also his personal concern with our family's loss and a positive outcome in these matters. I would not hesitate to refer Peter and Carolina One to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. Five Stars isn't enough to represent Peter's work he did for us. Thanks Peter.

ZillowVERIFIED Peter was amazing! His professionalism was top tier! There are so many great real estate agents in the Charleston area, but Peter and his team are in another league. He was able to maximize our profits due to his in-depth knowledge of construction and marketing. When we received our inspection report back, he was able to clear half of the line items on that report quickly just by having extensive experience in home renovations and mechanical systems. He's worth so much more than what we paid him! We will be using him again!

ZillowVERIFIED We have nothing but good things to say about our experience working with Peter. He is supportive, has an intimate knowledge of the Charleston market, and he knows how to negotiate. After moving to Charleston, it took my wife and I nearly 3 years to find the right house for our family. Peter stuck with us the whole time. Even after closing, Peter continues to offer support and resources as we settle in. If you are looking for a home in Charleston, youve found your realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED John Kouten was professional the first moment he stepped on my doorstep. Not only is he an amazing agent but he also was a good advisor through the process. He never seemed to get flustered when things didn't go quite exactly how we wanted and was quick in his reaction time and addressed things before I even knew. I would recommend him to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED We recently went through the loss of my 104 years old stepmom. Of coure, the handling of her estate was an immediate concern for us. Our hands were tied as we live over 200 miles away and we had a mountain of estate matters to deal with. The biggest issue was the selling of her house on James Island, SC. We were most fortunate in securing the services of John Kouten of Carolina One Real Estate's Peter Kouten Team to take charge of this huge task. John immediately put us at ease taking us through the process and giving us step-by-step tasks necessary for placing the house on the market. He helped with the setting up and presentation for sale and was by our side all the way to the closing. We had an offer on the house within two days after posting on the market. After an issue arose with the buyer we had to repost on the market and again had a contract within another two days. John was a Godsend and we would recommend him without hesitation. There is no doubt in our mind that his knowledge and experience was instrumental in making the sale happen so quickly and worry-free. Bill and Janet Utsey

ZillowVERIFIED Peter provided the time and assistance I (a first-time home buyer) needed to make the experience exciting and attainable. He took the time to know me and what I was looking for, and used that with his excellent knowledge of the area to show me homes (and eventually help me attain a home) that I was genuinely interested in. He was always available for a phone call, text, or facetime, and answered all of my many questions with patience and warmth. He truly went above and beyond in his time, dedication, and advocacy throughout the process. He provided professional guidance and insights that helped me feel supported and confident. I cannot recommend Peter and Carolina One Real Estate enough!

ZillowVERIFIED If I could give Peter and his team 10 stars I would. Peter is the consummate professional and went above and beyond continuously exceeding expectations. Available at all times, Peter responded to our inquiries within minutes. We were never waiting on updates as many times Peter had the answer before we asked the question. An outstanding negotiator, Peter worked immediately with other agents keeping the showings and closing on-track; all while continually keeping us informed. This peace of mind and his ?can-do? attitude makes him the best realtor we?ve had the pleasure to work with and we?ve sold/bought multiple homes. When starting the selling process, Peter meticulously stepped us through the required documentation and process making it easy for us to understand. He then walked through our home providing a detailed checklist of items to consider for repair, updating, etc. He was spot on and most importantly, he was able to help us find trades and craftsman to prepare our home for the market. As we were out-of-state and not knowing what contractors to contact, Peter recommended a team and provided the turnkey solution we needed. Peter and his team were directly responsible for us receiving an offer after our FIRST showing and then closing within 30 days. We highly recommend Peter and his team, there is no one better!!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Peter was our agent while we searched/bought our first house. Going into the process, we thought our home buying experience would be difficult in such a highly competitive market like Charleston. Instead, it was stress-free and fun because of Peters expertise and dedication! We could not recommend using Peter Kouten with Carolina one enough if youre looking to buy or sell in the Lowcountry!

ZillowVERIFIED Peter is the best agent we could have asked for! Being first time home buyers and only having lived in Charleston for a few years, we were a little nervous but Peter was very patient with us while still being realistic about the crazy market and prices. He walked us through every step including things that he did not have to be a part of which was so great having one point of contact we could rely on. He was always super transparent and we felt like he had our best interest at heart, genuinely. We will continue to use him and recommend him to anyone who asks!

ZillowVERIFIED It?s so much I can say about Peter and it?s all positive. This was my first time purchasing a home after working with several others and he made the ENTIRE process smooth from beginning to end. Long story short he got me a home with everything that I wanted and preferred. Honestly that was extremely shocking in this kinda market, but he pulled it off. He got us a home that was off the market and we were able to get it at asking price which turned out to be $7,000 less than the appraisal! All I can say is be up front with him about your situation and listen to whatever he says!

ZillowVERIFIED 5 STARS!! Peter was so helpful with our move from the Midwest. Especially when the market is so bare, with not many options. He found us a home in our preferred neighborhood. He went above and beyond what a realtor should. He made the process simple and easy to understand. I greatly appreciated his patience (we called late at night and he always took the call) and expertise. Not to mention, his insight was extremely valuable. I would definitely recommend him and his team!

I am a first time home-buyer and Peter was there for me every step of the way, ensuring I knew what was gong on and always advocating for me. Peter is very proactive throughout the whole process and made a stressful process easy and smooth. He will work to find you what you are looking for and will be transparent with you throughout. Would highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for an agent!

ZillowVERIFIED Amazing experience! Very professional and informative. From the start of the process Peter was consistent with the frequency of properties he sent. As we provided more information about criteria we had he updated the results and sent us properties that were very strong contenders. Lots of attention was paid to the small details we inquired about which I really appreciated. We are so excited about moving into our new home! If you are looking for a realtor who will put in the extra effort on your behalf then I would definitely recommend Peter! We communicated our expectations and he delivered results in what seemed like an almost immediate timeframe.

Peter is easy to get in touch with, is professional and prompt with all communication. He often says that he will always be my realtor, and I believe him! He continues to help with anything that has come up even after closing on the condo. I highly recommend Peter if you are looking to buy in the Charleston area!

ZillowVERIFIED Peter was incredibly kind, responsive, and knowledgeable. Without having met us, he agreed to travel 45+ mins on a moments notice (on a Friday night!) to show us our dream house. He made our experience as first time buyers seamless and stress free.

Review for Member: Peter Kouten
ZillowVERIFIED Peter was courteous and professional, all traits that one would look for in a realtor. But what left the biggest impression on me was how he took a vested interest in what I was looking for in a home. Rather than selling me a house he helped me find the right house for myself and my family. Peter quickly went from a realtor to a family friend thanks to his endearing demeanor and insightful knowledge in every aspect of the home buying process from gathering a list of potential homes to the final stages of signing the paperwork. He was flexible and worked with our hectic schedules and kept us informed of any developments or issues that arose. Rather than waiting for us to reach out to him, Peter took the initiative and reached out to us proactively to see if we had any concerns and took the time to get to know us to tailor the home shopping process to our tastes. I whole heartedly recommend Peter for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. You will not only gain a top notch Realtor but also a steadfast friend to aid in finding a house to make a home. Five stars doesn't honestly give him justice.

ZillowVERIFIED My entire experience with Peter was incredible. He was patient, kind, attentive, and always on point with the vision I had in my head. He showed me so many homes and made the experience fun and enjoyable. He got the paperwork done immediately and was extremely knowledgeable since I was a first time home buyer. I would recommend peter to anyone, but especially first time buyers because of his empathetic and nurturing energy during the entire process!
