Realtors start new firm east of the Cooper, home contractor holds grand opening at Moncks Corner neighborhood

Gatehouse Realty, a new real estate firm, opened recently at Shelmore Village in Mount Pleasant (Provided).

Two long-time real estate professionals have swung open the entryways on a new East Cooper venture geared to help people buy and sell their homes.

The "boutique real estate firm," Gatehouse Realty LLC, launched May 1 in the Shelmore Village live-work development off Mathis Ferry Road.

Chris Calabrese and Rex Coyne opened the Mount Pleasant business.

"Rex and I are excited to be part of the growing Mount Pleasant real estate market," Calabrese says.

"We are Mount Pleasant residents and love living and working here, but we also chose a location with easy access from other areas," he says. "We're less than a mile from the (Ravenel) bridge."

The company will assist residential buyers, sellers and investors while offering "high-end, modern services" such as staging consultations and professional photography.

Coyne, whose real estate career spans 25 years, will be recruiting and marketing director. His background includes seven years in new home sales as well as relocation, investment properties and renovation.

Taking the post as broker-in-charge, Calabrese brings "a varied career prior to real estate" including as an engineer and country club manager.

According to Gatehouse Realty, the pair's diverse backgrounds "serve them well in the ever-changing real estate world."
