I have been a Realtor since 2002. My years of experience have been invaluable in navigating the changing market. Over that time, I have seen some serious market ups and downs. In today's challenging environment, I am always seeking new ways to better serve my clients. That includes finding innovative ways to market my clients' properties, keep them better informed, stay in touch with them, and generally make their lives easier.
I believe strongly in the Internet and have made some changes to find those potential clients who begin their search on the web and also to maximize the marketing of our current listings. My strategy includes a personalized website that draws lookers in with content and hooks them with great listing information on our listings and listings in the greater Charleston MLS. The property information from this site is syndicated across many of the most popular real estate sites on the web including Trulia, Google, Yahoo, Homescape, Oodle, and Propsmart to name several. I also post an HTML listing to craigslist.org that is head and shoulders above a standard listing.
In addition, years of experience and contacts have helped me build a list of Realtors and clients that I work diligently when I get a new listing in case they have any interest or have a client who might be interested. Even more than marketing, I feel that the period from contract to closing is particularly critical. I have the experience to guide our clients through inspections, financing, attorney selection, HUD closing statement review, etc. I will work particularly hard to protect my clients rights and interests.
When you put it all together, I work very hard to get great results for my clients.
My areas of expertise include: Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms, Wild Dunes, Downtown Charleston
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:
"After a few years of wanting to visit the Charleston area to determine if relocating there would be a possibility, I was finally able to make the trip from NY last month. I am writing to you because I feel so strongly that my visit would have been very different (and in no way as successful!), had it not been for your agent Jason Ogden.
Having no prior knowledge of South Carolina and only a few days to explore and try to hone-in on an area that felt ‘right’ to me, Jason was the key factor in bringing it all together. His communication, competence and level of professionalism were truly exceptional and I could not have felt more comfortable with him or confident in his level of expertise.
Without ever imparting the slightest hint of pressure or making me feel like anything less than a valued client, he listened to my preferences and developed an accurate sense of who I am/my needs as a home buyer. He then formulated a game-plan to help educate me so that I could decide which areas and subdivisions would most likely be a good fit; he managed to accomplish this in THREE days!
Having sold and purchased a home a couple of times before, I have to say that I have never had the absolute pleasure of encountering or working with anyone like Jason. I could not be happier to have him as my agent and I look forward (largely thanks to HIM) to relocating the Charleston area soon!
I have already referred a friend to him who planning to buy a vacation home on the beach this summer and I will continue to recommend him proudly. In my humble opinion, The Cassina Group is sure lucky to have him as a representative of the agency; he is an outstanding example of everything a great Realtor should be!" - Gina Funicello
“Jason Ogden... we cannot say enough good things about him as our real estate agent. My wife and I recently moved back to Charleston and were anxious to purchase our first home together. We only had about 6-weeks in the area before taking a 4-month work stint in Germany. Although we planned on buying once we returned, we decided it would be great to look around so that we'd have an idea of what we wanted to purchase when we returned for good at the end of the Summer. We knew instantly after meeting Jason that we had met our real estate agent. His demeanor is relaxing and never the least bit pushy. Skillful organization and expertise in the field were immediately apparent. Jason showed us a home that we really fell in love with and we decided to pursue a contract. He was nothing but supportive of the idea of helping us close, even though we were about to be several thousand miles away! Very patient through post-contract complications, he never once left us uninformed. We corresponded mostly through e-mail, and we always got quick answers when we needed them. Incredibly polite, courteous and always on point, Jason's experience helped us solve several complications early in the closing process. Performance was truly above and beyond. I'm not sure that we could have made this happen without his dedication. If you are looking for a home in the Charleston area, do not hesitate to call. If we purchase another home in the future, we will undoubtedly be calling Jason first.”- Mike Parker
