Hello and thank you for visiting!  It is my goal as your full service Realtor in the Columbia, Lexington, Lake Murray and Midlands area to provide you with superior service and to become your “go-to” Realtor for anything concerning real estate, even if it’s simply to have a cup of coffee and talk about the market.

It’s with great pleasure that I announce that The Leo Windham Agency is opening a satellite office in the Charleston area. I’ll be joining the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors as well as the Charleston MLS. The physical location will be in Mt. Pleasant, just across the bridge from Charleston.  We will now be serving the real estate needs for customers and clients in Western North Carolina, Central South Carolina (in and around Columbia), and now all of the Lowcountry and coastal areas of SC.  If you know of anyone buying or selling real estate in Columbia, Charleston, or Western North Carolina, just call me at 803-201-5367. And, coming soon to my web site (www.LeoWindham.com) you’ll be able to enjoy the most comprehensive and easy to use search of properties in these areas.  You won’t need to register to search.  We just hope that you’ll contact us when you decide to either buy or sell.  Let one of our real estate professionals assist you.

I just want to take a second to remember those that have served our country in the military. First and foremost, my father, the late Woodrow D Windham (retired CWO4 US Navy) I was raised in a military family and certainly understand the lifestyle. My brother Jim Windham (retired CWO4 US Navy) . My friend Jim Graham who served as a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam war, lost the use of his legs, but has never let that stop him from doing what ever he wants to do. He is a true American Hero. I salute all of those that have served in the military, both past and present and of course their families that sacrifice also. I do not, however, forget those that have volunteered their time and money to help support causes in their communities.
One of my father’s favorite sayings was “when you start feeling sorry for yourself, just look around” We are all lucky to have been born Americans. Now, let’s all go and enjoy another day of good ole’ USA Freedom.

That’s right. Woody and I just got together in my studio and recorded the first hour of what will be a three hour weekly radio show available for syndication. We’ll bring back all of our old characters like Beach Billy, RD Neck, Fat Man, The Weather Winer, Orville and Wilbur Carswell, Clara and Judd, and more. Of course, we’ll feature hard to find beach boogie and blues music. Remember The Breeze Radio Network? That’s what we’ll be doing. In short, we’re just going to have a little fun in the studio and make it available for free to anyone who wants to listen on my web site. www.LeoWindham.com or www.WoodyWindham.com
The first hour is already recorded and will be up on this website soon. We have had a lot of request to put our show back together and this is a beginning. If you like it, contact your local radio station and see if they would be interested in the show in syndication. If they show any interest, have them contact me. LeoWindham@gmail.com or call my office at 803-929-7617.
If this interest you at all, let me know. I’m looking for feedback.

I’m proud to announce that The Leo Windham Agency is now licensed to do business in South Carolina and North Carolina. We are now active members in good standing of The Greater Columbia Board of Realtors, The South Carolina Association of Realtors, The National Association of Realtors, The Haywood County Board of Realtors in NC, and The North Carolina Board of Realtors. We have also joined as a firm The Consolidated Multiple Listing Service, serving areas in and around Columbia, SC, and The Haywood County Multiple Listing Service, which serves a large area of Western North Carolina and into some of upstate South Carolina. Coming soon, the coastal area of South Carolina. It’s exciting to be able to list and sell and represent buyers FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE SEA. My web master, programmer, Kris Windham is in the process of redesigning our entire web site (LeoWindham.com) to offer for free the most comprehensive search for properties in these areas. Of course, we will continue to offer, for free, downloads of our Podcasts of hard to find Beach Music. FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE SEA——- THE LEO WINDHAM AGENCY

I’ve already noticed increased activity on some of our listings here at The Leo Windham Agency. Despite all of the negative press the real estate business has been getting, spring will trigger new sales. Everyone knows it’s a buyers market, but sellers should be encouraged by the time of the season. If your home is staged properly and in good shape, there will be buyers looking, and buying. I’m encouraged. Here’s to a good spring.

I’d like to welcome Laura Carlton to The Leo Windham Agency. Laura joins our team with her move from The Isle of Palms to Lexington, on Lake Murray. She has held a SC Real Estate license for over 20 years and brings all of that experience in residential sales and listing to our company. We’re excited to add Laura Carlton to our team of professionals here at The Leo Windham Agency.
