Buy well. Sell smart. Live beautifully.
Hi! I’m Trudy Mercy Brown.
As a trusted real estate professional and trained interior designer, I’ve served the Charleston area since 2001—offering local insight and a thoughtful, full-service experience for clients. Whether you're searching for the perfect home, preparing to list, or transforming a space you already have, I blend market expertise with a designer’s eye to guide you with care and creativity.
My philosophy is simple: every home should serve the lifestyle lived inside it. Buying, selling or refreshing, I help clients navigate the process with confidence—creating spaces and experiences that are strategic, functional and personal.
I believe your home is your sanctuary, your refuge. It should be pleasing to come home to and function well for how you live in it.
Design captured my attention at a young age and never let go. Growing up, I’d tag along on antiquing trips with my creative mom, watching her curate a home with meaning and style. My dad encouraged a more traditional path, so I earned a business degree in Marketing and Management from the University of South Carolina—something that continues to serve me well. Later, I followed my passion back to interiors and earned a master’s degree in Interior Design from Winthrop University.
My interest in real estate was fueled by flipping homes—living in them, working on them, and moving again. (I’ve moved 20 times since college!) Through it all, I’ve learned first hand about real estate and what it means to make a house a home.
People often ask if I have a signature style, and the truth is—it’s about your style. I blend timeless design principles with your lifestyle and personality to create spaces that work beautifully for how you live. To me, design is like solving a puzzle—my job is to get inside your head and help you express what home means to you.
Buying or selling a home is a puzzle, too—with contracts, timelines, inspections, negotiations, and a lot of moving parts. I’m with you through all of it, communicating clearly and coordinating every detail. As a bonus, I offer my sellers a staging consultation to help their home shine—and buyers a move-in design session to make it feel like theirs.
A native South Carolinian, I’ve called Charleston home since 2001. I feel incredibly grateful to live here doing what I love—helping others find their place, make it their own, and love where they live.
In my spare time, you’ll find me walking Charleston’s beaches with my dog, exploring local shops, or relaxing with family and friends—always gathering inspiration for the next space I get to help transform!
