Award-winning real estate professional Nate Gainey attributes his industry influence to forming relationships that last a lifetime. He cares deeply about his clients, staying by their side throughout the entire transaction and remaining reachable long after close. Nate has secured well over $100 million in transactions and consistently ranks among the top 3% of Charleston agents, all of which speak to his dedication to his clients. Nate has always been driven to succeed. At just 15 years old, he took on his first commission-based sales role in his hometown of Hartsville, South Carolina. Within four years, he had worked his way up to owning the business. This experience made it relatively easy for him when he moved on to another sales role in Charleston, where he quickly distinguished himself as the highest-producing salesperson at the company. Later, Nate joined a real estate team and helped grow their revenue by 16 times in just over a decade. Nate’s real-world experiences, paired with his bachelor’s degree in interior design and personal passion for buying and flipping houses, give his clients the edge they need in this competitive market. His breadth of industry knowledge, outside-the-box thinking, use of innovative tech, and expert negotiation skills take care of the rest. An accredited real estate investor and mentor to the next wave of agents, Nate harbors a fondness for real estate that extends far beyond the deal. Because he is powered by an enthusiastic desire to serve others, Nate sees mentoring new agents as a way not only to help them but to extend his positive impact to the clients they represent. With a focus on delivering high-touch service to everyone from first-time homebuyers and luxury investors to commercial real estate ventures, it is no surprise that the majority of Nate’s clientele comprises past or referral-based clients. Away from real estate, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife, Kristin, and son, Zayden. A proud Cub Scout leader, Nate cherishes teaching his pack about the great outdoors. He also has a huge love of driving anything with a motor, be it a boat, a Jeep, or a race car.
