About Howard M

Meet Howard Dobbins – Charleston Native | 2X ICON Agent | Broker | Mentor Born and raised in Charleston, I don’t just work in the Lowcountry—I know it. The neighborhoods, the growth patterns, the hidden gems… this is home. I’ve been in real estate since 2004, helping buyers, sellers, and investors make smart moves with confidence. In 2008, after selling our family-owned dry-cleaning business, I went all-in on real estate—and never looked back. Best decision my wife Jane and I ever made. Before real estate, I spent over 20 years with Piggly Wiggly Carolina Company, working my way from bagger to management and ownership. Later, I owned and operated a multi-location dry-cleaning business with retail stores, a laundromat, and delivery routes. That background built the foundation I still use today: discipline, customer service, and knowing how to solve problems when things get messy. What that means for you? You’re not getting a part-time agent—you’re getting a seasoned operator who knows how to navigate deals, negotiate hard, and keep things moving. Family is everything to me. My wife Jane is an RN Case Manager, and we’re proud parents of three driven kids: Andy and his wife Crystal (MBA, Citadel grad) are raising our two granddaughters, Emma and Olivia—aka the energy in the room Adam earned his MBA while playing championship-level college football Jessica is pursuing her Doctorate in Physical Therapy I’ve also spent 19 years coaching youth sports—from rec basketball to high school football at Bishop England. Coaching taught me leadership, accountability, and how to bring out the best in people—skills I bring into every client relationship. Today, my focus is simple: Help people win in real estate. Whether you're buying your first home, selling, or building a portfolio, I bring experience, strategy, and straight-up honesty to the table. No fluff. No guessing. Just results.
