Working with Audra-Kelly over the past four years has been an absolute pleasure. In an industry where details and communication make all the difference, she consistently stands out. She has a natural ability to keep things organized, provide thoughtful feedback, and handle every situation with professionalism and care.
What I appreciate most about Audra-Kelly is the way she balances high standards with kindness. She’s dependable, attentive, easy to work with, and truly invested in creating a great experience for both homeowners and guests. That level of consistency is rare in property management.
As the CEO of Fluffy LLC, I’ve worked closely with many property managers throughout Charleston, and Audra-Kelly is someone I genuinely trust and respect. Any property under her care is in very good hands, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced property manager in the Charleston area.

Audra was the main point-of-contact for my high end short term rental. Audra was always professional, courteous, and prompt to respond to any issues. Audra often went above and beyond to help things run smoothly... I have had the best experience with her.
