David Okafor

Investment & Island Properties Specialist

David Okafor

Specialty: James Island, West Ashley, Investment Properties

David Okafor is the team's investment property specialist, which is a different skill set than residential sales. He runs cash flow projections. He reads rent rolls. He's owned rental properties in James Island himself, so when he talks about cap rates and vacancy rates in Charleston, he's not working from a textbook.

His territory is James Island and West Ashley — two areas with strong rental demand, relatively lower prices, and growing interest from out-of-state investors who've discovered Charleston's rental market.

For primary residence buyers, David is exceptionally practical. He'll tell you straight which blocks near Camp Road have the flood issues to watch, which West Ashley subdivisions have the HOA politics, and which pockets of both islands offer the best commute-to-price ratio.

Before real estate, David worked in commercial lending. He understands how lenders think about investment property financing, which matters a lot when buyers are trying to navigate DSCR loans or conventional investment property guidelines.

He also handles property management referrals for clients who want to hold rental properties but not manage them personally — a service the team doesn't provide directly but has strong vendor relationships to support.
