Trent Starr

Trent Starr brings an investment-focused approach to commercial real estate in the Lowcountry, specializing in Bluffton, Hardeeville, Hilton Head Island, and commercial real estate opportunities throughout South Carolina. Known for his strategic mindset and market insight, Trent advises buyers, sellers, developers, and investors seeking opportunities that go beyond the traditional transaction. His expertise includes commercial investment properties, 1031 exchanges, relocation services, development opportunities, land acquisition, and long-term wealth-building through real estate.

With a background in acquisitions and ground-up development, Trent helps clients identify emerging opportunities and position themselves ahead of the Lowcountry’s continued growth. His experience includes site selection, land acquisition, entitlements, municipal approvals, build-to-suit developments, and single-tenant triple net (NNN) lease transactions. He understands how to evaluate a property not only for its current value, but for its future potential in rapidly evolving markets across Bluffton, Hardeeville, Beaufort County, and beyond.

Before joining Charter One Realty, Trent worked on the real estate team of a national platform, where he played a key role in expanding its footprint throughout the Tri-State area. He also supported multi-market expansion initiatives across the Northeast, strengthening his ability to analyze growth patterns, identify emerging commercial corridors, and execute strategic transactions across diverse markets.

Trent works with clients who expect more than a standard real estate experience. Whether assisting with a 1031 exchange, sourcing off-market commercial properties, evaluating development land, or structuring a long-term net lease investment, he brings a sharp analytical approach, strong negotiation skills, and a relentless focus on maximizing value and return on investment.

He believes commercial real estate is one of the most powerful tools for building long-term wealth and financial freedom. Through strategic guidance, market expertise, and a forward-thinking approach, Trent is committed to helping clients make informed real estate decisions that align with their investment goals and long-term vision for success in the Lowcountry commercial real estate market.
