Carolina Commercial

What Carolina Commercial does

Carolina Commercial LLC is a full-service commercial real estate firm founded in 2010 and headquartered in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, with additional offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, Evansville, Indiana, and a presence in Lumberton, North Carolina. The firm offers brokerage services across industrial, retail, office, land, multifamily, and investment property categories, complemented by site selection, property management, and consulting services. Its core go-to-market is direct brokerage and advisory delivered by a small team of seasoned professionals — the firm reports 1-10 employees but cites over 100 years of combined team experience in the Charleston market, anchored by Founder and Broker-in-Charge Charlie Moore.

The firm monetizes primarily through transaction commissions on completed brokerage deals, recurring property management fees, and project-based consulting engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured per engagement. Customer segmentation is horizontal — spanning industrial, retail, office, land, multifamily, and investment clients — with retail revitalization (e.g., the $18 million, 250,000-square-foot Biggs Park Mall redevelopment in Lumberton, anchored by Belk, TJ Maxx, Burlington, and Five Below) representing a notable higher-value engagement. The firm's competitive positioning leans on SIOR and CCIM professional affiliations for regional, national, and international referral reach, supplemented by direct relationships with lenders, contractors, government agencies, and economic development allies. There is no proprietary technology platform; the business is a traditional, relationship-driven CRE advisory operation.

In 2026, Carolina Commercial entered an active expansion phase, opening a fourth national office in Evansville, Indiana, hiring Mishelle Conti as Director of Leasing, and breaking ground on the Biggs Park Mall project. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding, revenue figures, or institutional investors, and operates as a team-owned commercial real estate practice.
