About Us

---

Joel Torres was born and raised in West Los Angeles, California. Where he worked for years as a beach Lifeguard, Trainer & Rescue Boat Operator.  He is the youngest of 5 children from a first generation family where his parents moved from Honduras to America to chase the American dream. 

In Los Angeles, Joel attended West Los Angeles College where he received his Associates Degree in Liberal Arts and Studies. Looking for a change in pace one year, Joel decided to visit an older brother in Charleston, South Carolina. Let’s just say the rest is history! 

Joel has been residing in the West Ashley area of Charleston for over 15 years now. He has served the County & City of Charleston in a multitude of ways through his work as a Water Safety Public Officer. After years of serving the public in an aquatic capacity, Joel decided to take things on land, to help the public with their Real Estate goals! Joel is always striving to better himself through each transaction, and since becoming an agent, has obtained his Associate Brokers License, the Real Estate Negotiation Expert Certification, Pricing Strategies Advisor and Accredited Buyers Representative Designation, just to name a few.  He also sits on various boards and committees  on a local and state level. When not helping clients and customers achieve their goals, Joel loves spending time with his wife, Marie and 3 fur babies. In his free time, he and his family enjoy traveling and spending time at the beach.
