Thank You Columbia The Mather Company For Voting Charlie Mather 2011 BEST Realtor! “The Key to Your Real Estate Needs” This award means a lot to me because it came from the community. This country was built by entrepreneurs opening companies and building community support. My hero and role model is my grandfather, the late Guy Lipscomb Jr. A successful entrepreneur and artist, he spent his life giving back to his community. Columbia is a great city, and living and working here is such a gift. I am very proud to live where the American dream still lives on. As a Realtor, I began pursuing my dream in 2009, when I opened The Mather Company Inc. The key to my success in real estate is to never view the clients as dollar signs. It is more important to make the CharlieMather client happy. When you treat people with honesty, integrity, and truly look out for their best interest, it always Broker-in-Charge pays off in the future. My goal is to do such an incredible job for them that they cannot wait to tell someone Realtor® else about me. Our vision: To sell you not only your first home but your second, third, and fourth. Our mission: To provide quality service to our clients, and to perform above and beyond their expectations. We will conduct our business in a professional manner by committing ourselves to hard work, honesty, and integrity. We believe our emphasis on teamwork will set us apart from other real estate companies.
