"Hugh did an amazing job working with us to locate a home for us. We relocated to the Charlotte area and only had a couple of days to view homes. Hugh and the team really made the purchase process simple. Since we were relocating to the area, we were not always blue to check in on the building process for the home and Hugh stepped in and continually checked in to send updates of the process. I would 100% recommend Hugh and the team and will be using them again in the future. Thanks Hugh!"

"Hugh guided us through our first home purchase. We found him and the Bovender team through their stellar reviews after doing extensive research on local agents. Hugh exceeded our expectations. We started our home search with Hugh in early November and had closed and moved by the end of December. Hugh was very responsive from start to finish, recommending new homes daily that all fit our criteria. He was very flexible in scheduling home visits around our tight schedules and shared his own perspective on each house - calling out things we wouldn't have thought to look for as new buyers. He is also incredibly personable, making us feel comfortable and informed about the process from day 1 - something that was very important to us as we hadn't bought a house before. He and the Bovender closing team also helped us close in a matter of weeks, while negotiating thousands back in closing costs. We 100% recommend working with Hugh. We will definitely work with him again if we move around the Charlotte area and recommend him to all of our friends. Fantastic experience especially for first time buyers!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed working with Hugh! He made the process of buying our first home such a memorable experience. From the first home we looked at through the contract and closing process, Hugh was quick to respond to all our questions and needs, and never failed to find us the answers. His knowledge of the homes and the areas that they were in helped us choose our first home. He was willing to show us as many homes as it took for us to find the details we wanted, without feeling the pressure to commit to something we didn't love. We would highly recommend working with Hugh to anyone who is looking to buy."

"Hugh was great to work with when recently purchasing my condo! After meeting with several other agents, I went with Hugh due to his knowledge of the area and alignment to my interests. Hugh is easy and reliable to communicate with and was flexible to my schedule when it came to arranging visits and anything else that came up. When hit with a snag that could've delayed the closing, Hugh quickly stepped into action and worked out an agreement that allow me to close on time. Working with Hugh was a pleasure and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an agent!"


About Hugh
Hugh is a part of the Andy Bovender Team of Compass in Charleston, SC. 

Hugh attended Virginia Tech with the intention of playing baseball; however his love of a good backup plan almost immediately came into play when his shoulder and overall skill set encouraged him to redirect his energies to academics. He earned his bachelor's degree in Psychology with minors in English and Business.

After college, Hugh moved to Charleston, SC.  For the next 15 years, he rose through the ranks at the renowned restaurant Halls Chophouse, from busboy to server, to bartender, and finally to the General Manager of the then 28th highest-grossing restaurant in the country!

Hugh found a new career and passion in Real Estate after meeting Andy Bovender and the team in Charlotte, NC. Hugh's interest in the real estate industry was inspired from a desire to renovate homes and his background in the family plumbing business gives him an added eye for details concerning potential upside or potentially overlooked flaws that may exist. 

As the growth of the team continued, Hugh willingly volunteered to come back 'home' and spearhead the opening of the Lowcountry branch in Charleston.  Now Hugh also services the SC coast from Hilton Head up to N. Myrtle Beach.  Taking people through the process of buying a home resonated with him because of its similarity to the hospitality industry in that he is constantly asking clients for their ideal scenario and then doing whatever it takes to make that a reality.
