Client Testimonials
Ace Brown
We had an exceptional experience with The Cassina Group in our recent home sale. The entire process, from pre-listing to after our close, was seamless, professional and top-notch. Jimmy Dye and his team were always available during the process, and they went above and beyond to ensure that all the details of our sale were taken care of by closing. We highly recommend The Cassina Group.
Peggy Lyons
We inherited a home in the Charleston area and wanted to sell it. Not being from the area we didn’t really know where to begin. Jimmy and his staff came highly recommended to us and they did not disappoint! From start to finish they helped us every step of the way. They went above and beyond to make the process smooth and easy. Every suggestion they made was the right one!
Nina Kelly
Jimmy Dye found our family the perfect house that we were uncertain we could find in this market. Wouldn't have been possible without his help, expertise, and connections. Thanks again, Jimmy!
Gates Blair
My wife and I were referred to Jimmy Dye about six months ago. Thankfully so, as he helped us navigate the real estate decisions we faced as we planned our relocation to Charleston. He found us a great home (historic cottage) with approved plans, to turn into our dream home. We couldn't be happier.
Evan Berney
Jimmy Dye and his team at The Cassina Group were nothing short of awesome. From Rebecca to the whole team they handled my transaction in a first class, responsive, caring way. They went over and beyond and still are there for me if I need them.
Stephen Carroll
Jimmy, thank you for going above and beyond to sell my home. Your steady demeanor, work ethic, and professionalism exceeded my expectations.
Ellen Toller
Once again, Jimmy Dye and his team helped me successfully purchase a home in Charleston....which in the current market isn't necessarily an easy thing to do! There's a reason that the Post and Courier newspaper contacts the Cassina Group looking for expert commentary when they are writing about real estate - simply put, the professionals at the Cassina Group far and away know this market, and how to navigate it, better than anyone.
Chris Allen
Molly Conn & Jimmy Dye are both great! From 2500 miles away we started working with them to find property that fit our criteria...Once we landed on the right house we found out how connected they are. They helped us put together everything. If we move again we will find Molly & Jimmy.

Jimmy Dye and The Cassina Group represent the gold standard in real estate representation. I met Jimmy Dye for the first time only a few months ago, at the recommendation of a mutual friend. Jimmy and his office staff helped us navigate a challenging, competitive real estate market. We ultimately purchased a home "sight unseen," based upon Jimmy's guidance and advice (we were out of state). We are lucky to have worked with Jimmy in this transaction and will not hesitate to contact him 'the next time.' Your time, energy and money are all well spent with Jimmy and The Cassina Group.

Bought and sold several houses with Jimmy Dye and the team at Cassina. They are fantastic - thorough, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended!
Anne Navarro
The house that I purchased was a new listing when Jimmy notified me. It was in an area of high demand and was a quick sale. Once the contract was accepted the staff provided excellent follow through service all the way to the closing. It was an extremely simple and efficient process especially since I do not live in Charleston. I would highly recommend Jimmy and the Cassina Group.
Felix Mirando
Everyone at The Cassina Group is so helpful and friendly! My agent was Jimmy Dye and his extensive knowledge of both real estate and the local Charleston community proved invaluable in my experience working with his company.
Sidney Wagner
We first met Jimmy Dye in 2011 when we were shopping for our first house in Charleston. He helped us so much, made the experience delightful and was with us every step, until we found what we were looking for. Since then he has helped us through 2 other transactions; selling the home he helped us find and buying an incredible lot to build our new house.
Fred & Kathleen Prudhomme
It was great working with Jimmy and A.T. They were efficient and effective in getting our purchase across the goal line. The closing was seamless as a result of their efforts as well.
