About Gary Riportella

I have been a Realtor in the Charleston area for almost a decade and have extensive knowledge and expertise in the local real estate market. What I find gratifying about being a real estate agent for 55+ communities is the ability to provide in-depth information about these communities. From amenities and HOA fees to proximity to shopping, the nearest beach, the airport, and downtown Charleston, I take pride in being able to answer the numerous questions that buyers have about these areas. Being a valuable resource for clients, helping them navigate the details, and making informed decisions is what I love most about my role. The Charleston area offers numerous advantages for 55+ homebuyers. From state tax breaks and great weather to proximity to an international airport and some of the top-rated restaurants in the nation, the area provides an exceptional living experience. Additionally, being close to a culturally and historically rich city, with attractions such as Cypress Gardens, Magnolia Plantation, Fort Sumter, historic mansion tours, outdoor adventures, and coastal expeditions, adds to the appeal. For those interested in 55+ communities, my tip is to embrace the exceptional lifestyle that comes with it—it's like living on vacation. Working with a specialized 55places agent who can answer all your questions and make the process of learning about an area and purchasing a home more enjoyable is essential. Outside of real estate I enjoy spending time with my family and grandchildren, engaging in activities like backpacking, day hiking, riding my horses, and playing the guitar and drums.
