Summerville is known as “The Official Birthplace of Sweet Tea." During the American Revolution and into the 1800s, tea plants were grown in our area. While most plantations struggled with cultivating tea plants, they thrived in the Lowcountry, due to a perfect mix of conditions such as high humidity and sandy soil. With easy access to the leaves, Summerville residents were the first to brew and sweeten the tea to find relief during the summer heat.

In 2016, Summerville was made famous around the globe by serving the world's largest sweet tea in a 15 foot tall Mason jar that held about 2,500 gallons of the popular drink! Their accomplishment has been recorded in the Guinness World Records. Check out Town Hall to see a replica of the gigantic Mason jar.

The Sweet Tea Trail is a whimsical way to stroll through Summerville. Grab a map and follow the path through downtown and by historic sites with stops at restaurants, shops, and landmarks that will share our town’s tea history and samples along the way. Don’t miss your opportunity to snap a selfie in front of the bright yellow sweet tea mural, located on the back of the Visitor’s Center building.

At Johnson & Wilson, we take pride in our small-town charm! With our boutique-styled real estate, you can expect a friendly smile, a warm welcome from our team, and service that goes above and beyond, every time. Stop by our office in downtown Summerville, join us for a chat over sweet tea, and discover our commitment to delivering unparalleled service through integrity, hard work, innovation and a genuine understanding of your unique needs.

Some properties need more than ground-level marketing.

Drone photography can highlight land, water views, acreage, rooflines, neighborhood proximity, and the full presence of a property.

The right view can change the way buyers see the value of your listing. Contact us to inquire about enhancing your property with drone photography.

Meet our new neighbor! Less than two minutes from Johnson & Wilson’s Summerville office, an urban enclave is taking its shape in the heart of downtown. Bonaire Park is a mixed-use development that combines modern, sophisticated luxury with a blend of traditional architecture and small-town charm. Twenty-three townhomes bring a refined sense of space and comfort, with two-car garages, open living areas, and rooftop penthouses. Terraces and private garden spaces transform homes into sanctuaries for entertaining or a quiet retreat.

Bonaire Park's retail promenade is an invitation to slow down and connect with others. Designed with the scale and character that mirror the town's historic storefronts, this walkable corridor connects South Cedar Street to the central square. A carefully curated mix of boutiques and restaurants will anchor the residential area. Outdoor seating, greenery, and thoughtful details create an atmosphere that encourages lingering, dining, and browsing.

Are you ready for a road trip? Two hours from Charleston, a safari adventure with more than 300 exotic animals awaits. In the small town of Salley, South Carolina, Eudora Wildlife Safari Park offers a unique experience where animals approach your vehicle to be fed. One of the things that makes Eudora different from a traditional zoo is how close you get to the animals. Your day will be filled with wonder and laughter as you discover that camels, ostriches, and llamas have no concept of personal space if you happen to be holding a bucket of treats! The concept is designed to be interactive and educational; a step above viewing animals behind fences.

Some highlights include:
*Self-guided drive-through safari
*Interactive walk-through safari trail
*Petting zoo and Safari Village
*Giraffe observation and feeding opportunities
*Public and private guided wagon rides
*Animal feeding experiences throughout the park

Eudora was founded by Mark Nisbet, who has spent more than 30 years caring for exotic animals. His love of animals began when he was a child, helping to raise rabbits and chickens. With an emphasis on conservation and education, the family-run park focuses on creating a one-of-a-kind animal encounter designed to heighten the public’s appreciation for endangered and exotic species with a unique, hands-on approach.

A trip to Eudora Wildlife Safari Park highlights the slower paced, family-centered, natural qualities that we value in South Carolina. Charleston is the kind of place where your family can pile into the car to spend a Saturday morning feeding giraffes and meeting the people who built something extraordinary in their community, and still be back in time for a delicious meal at a five-star restaurant before retreating back to a warm, inviting home.

Contact us at Johnson & Wilson and let us help you discover a place that is a perfect fit for your family’s needs, interests, and lifestyle.

Not every older home is automatically ready for a historic registry nomination. And not every nomination path is the right first step.

That is why Johnson & Wilson offers Preliminary Information Forms as a smart starting point. This service helps homeowners explore a property’s potential historic significance before investing in a full register nomination. It can help answer important questions about age, integrity, architectural character, ownership history, and whether the home may have the story and documentation needed to move forward.

Preservation is meaningful work, but it should also be informed work. Before you spend time and money on a nomination, let us help you understand what you have. Connect with us and request Preliminary Information Forms for historic properties. Historic properties are our specialty and we’re here to guide you, every step of the way.

There is a reason some homes shine at sunset.

A twilight tour captures warmth, mood, lighting, and curb appeal in a way daytime photos sometimes cannot.

For the right property, presentation is everything. Ask us how to book a Twilight Tour before you list your home.

J&W Gold Institute, the professional education arm of Johnson & Wilson Real Estate Company, has launched the nation’s first Historic Home Specialist designation for real estate professionals focused on historic properties. The distinction was recognized by HousingWire, a prominent digital business news, data, and information platform covering the US housing economy.

The credential, announced last week, is built around the institute’s Historic Property Mastery Series, an advanced curriculum covering preservation principles, historic valuation methodologies, federal and state preservation incentives, regulatory compliance, design review processes, architectural considerations and marketing strategies tailored to historic homes.

Designed for agents and brokers who work in historic districts and with landmark properties, the program focuses on niche, complex transactions that can be shaped by local review boards, restoration planning, tax-credit structures and preservation standards that go well beyond a typical residential sale.

Born in Charleston, plans are now underway to adapt the Historic Property Mastery Series coursework for historic communities across the country.

“Shop Local” is an initiative that is alive and well in Summerville thanks to DREAM. DREAM is a cohort of small businesses, specialty vendors, and entrepreneurs “working together to facilitate improvements in economic vitality, direct to consumer marketing, merchant district landscapes, entertainment, and community outreach,” according to its website.

From the Farmers Market to the Sweet Tea Festival, from Third Thursday to the Summerville Christmas parade, the organization’s goal is to enhance the profiles of small businesses and create a competitive advantage over major retail stores and online shopping.
