David Kent

Bio: David Kent grew up in Bennettsville, SC and moved to the lowcountry after college. He started the Real Buyer’s Agent in 1995 with his business partner Cece Stricklin because he strongly felt home buyers deserved equal representation when purchasing a home and has dedicated much of his career to this mission. David has held various leadership roles at the local, state, and national levels of the Realtor Association. David is committed to further education about buyer representation and elevating the standards within the real estate profession. He has acted on the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC) advisory board since 2008 and was inducted into the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC) hall of fame in 2010. David was appointed to the Charleston County planning commission in 2010. David resides in Mt Pleasant with his wife, Minou. Both of his daughters Hanna and Alexandra attend Clemson University.

What sets him apart: David brings his unique background in building and land development to the clients he works with. He strives to ensure that all of his clients are making educated and informed decisions throughout the buying process.

Licensed Realtor since: 1983
