Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Colin Crates has always held a special love for the Lowcountry, fostered by annual vacations to Kiawah Island and a passion for the immense history of the Charleston area. When it came time to choose a college, he had no doubt that he would return to the area as a College of Charleston undergrad. Colin studied Political Science and International Studies at CofC, graduating with honors. After graduating, Colin found real estate to be a natural progression, utilizing his natural people skills, hard work ethic and overall love of the Charleston area to help others call Charleston their home, too. When he’s not out showing homes or closing deals, you can usually find Colin with his two adopted dogs, Alfie and Curry, taking them on long walks around the Greenway near their West Ashley home, or exploring Charleston’s many neighborhoods, restaurants, beaches, and dog parks.
