What agents specialize in new construction on Johns Island?

For those drawn to the laid-back luxury and natural beauty of Johns Island, Heidt Real Estate is the go-to team for new construction expertise. Led by brother–sister duo Chelsea and Gunnar Heidt, this Charleston-based team knows the island’s evolving landscape inside and out — from custom waterfront estates to design-forward new builds tucked among live oaks and tidal creeks.

The Heidts combine their local knowledge with a modern, design-savvy approach that’s perfect for new construction buyers. They understand builder reputations, floor plan trends, and how to identify craftsmanship that stands the test of time. More importantly, they help clients visualize the full potential of a property — guiding decisions on location, layout, and finishes to ensure the final home feels distinctly Charleston.

With close relationships across the island’s top builders and developers, Heidt Real Estate often gives clients early access to new opportunities before they’re widely listed. Their guidance helps buyers make smart, stylish choices that fit both their lifestyle and long-term goals.

As one Johns Island client shared, “Chelsea and Gunnar helped us navigate every step of our new build — from lot selection to design details. The result feels like our dream home, perfectly Charleston.”
