Giovanna is THE best agent I've ever interacted with. After struggling to find the right place for well over a year I was put in touch with Giovanna and within a couple of weeks Giovanna was able to find me my dream home! She is as genuine and caring as it gets. One of the finest people I've met in Charleston. She works tirelessly to make sure you have all the information you need and that you are completely taken care of. She made the whole buying process seamless and stress free. I will be referring all of my friends and family to her moving forward.

Giovanna is amazing!! We had some crazy circumstances and needed help relocating in Mt. Pleasant and Giovanna met with us immediately to get everything started. After she heard what we were looking for, she got us in to a few places and ended up finding us our new home!! She’s truly the best - so great at communicating throughout the entire process, available all the time for questions, and has a ton of recommendations for any services (inspections, handymen, etc) needed. I can’t recommend her enough!!!

Giovanna and Marjorie,
I have the utmost respect for you both after seeing an insider’s perspective of how hard you both work and your mastery of your craft. Your organization, discipline, and teamwork are inspiring. I have learned so much from this experience and I felt so comfortable and appreciated the entire time. I look forward to working with you both in the future! Y’all are some of the most hardworking realtors out there.

Working with Giovanna was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entire process, making what could have been overwhelming feel easy and enjoyable. As first time homebuyers, we were so fortunate to have her guidance and expertise. She went above and beyond to ensure we found our dream home and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Thank you for everything!

My wife and I reached out to Giovanna (Gio) and her team to upgrade our current home, while staying in Mt. Pleasant. We have a baby on the way and really wanted to get into a community with amenities and close proximity to daycares/schools. We have never worked with someone so professional, responsive, and caring. Our house was listed in just a few days with photos that made us want to buy the house again. For open house, she sets the stage with an inviting environment to showcase the home. As a result, it sold it two days for way over asking.
While looking for a new home, we were losing out to cash buyers, but Gio never skipped a beat. She went above and beyond to tell our story to her local network and found us the PERFECT home in Park West off market. Every part of the process from inspection, to close was the easiest we could ever ask for. Gio always responds, is always on time, and her positivity makes the process fun and exciting. Without her, we wouldn’t have found this house and we are forever grateful.
There’s a lot of realtors in Charleston, but I haven’t met one that gives an experience like Gio and Smith Spencer. You won’t regret working with them! I can’t recommend them enough.

I cannot recommend working with Giovanna Richard more. As a first time home buyer, the entire process was extremely daunting. Thankfully, Gina was always (at least) three steps ahead of the entire process and made it extremely smooth. Not only did she line up each inspection and walk me through the process, she already had requested repair quotes and all contracts drafted to ensure a complete and expedited negotiation period. She took the time to educate me on the process and explain each step along the way. Gina is exceptionally knowledgable and has a tremendous network of professionals that she works with in Charleston that have helped me seamlessly complete improvements on my first home. As a first time home buyer, I easily give Giovanna five stars.*

We had the most wonderful experience working with Giovanna Richard! To say that she made the process of selling our home easy & enjoyable is a massive understatement. Giovanna was always 3 steps ahead of us in the best way possible -- anticipating what needed to be done, taking care of setting up work that was needed & always having our best interests at heart. As out of town sellers, it was so great to have a realtor who was detail oriented and always ready to take action. This process could not have gone more smoothly for us and all of that is thanks to Giovanna. Highly, highly recommend working with her! She consistently went above and beyond for us. Efficient, kind & talented. Thank you!!

Giovanna Richard was our fantastic agent. Took excellent care of us and communicated frequently as we were doing the purchase remotely. She quickly adapted and took the time to learn what we wanted - then scoured the area to find it. Even when we changed our mind, she quickly figured it out and showed us what we needed. Great advice during offers/negotiations and linked us up to great people to support from painters to house inspectors to.....Can't say enough good about her as she was great. Even when she was out of town - we had Marjorie Corbin as the 'back-up'. She was fantastic also - we did not skip a beat.

Giovanna Richard and the Smith Spencer team worked closely with my wife and I on a recent second home purchase in the Charleston SC area. From the start of the process she was very attentive every step of the way helping us find the best aligned options available, purchase negotiations, best available financing package, and working through the often tedious closing process. We are grateful for all that Giovanna Richard and the Smith Spencer team did for us to secure the home of our dreams. If you are looking to locate your ideal property in this amazing area, I highly encourage you to contact Giovanna Richard and the Smith Spencer team!

I worked with Giovanna as a remote client. She was the entire reason my search in the Charleston area was successful. I cannot say enough about her both professionally and personally. She is engaged, attentive, honest, diligent and super savvy. Not to mention, a great joy to talk to and engage with while dealing with all the unknowns around real estate. She really makes a tricky and sometimes stressful process easy. I felt totally taken care of by her - her insight, professionalism, and relationship skills are truly second to none. Thank you Giovanna for this life changing real estate journey!
