The Gruel Group announces the expansion of its residential real estate services across the South Carolina Lowcountry following sustained business growth and increased client demand.
— The Gruel Group at eXp Realty today announced the expansion of its residential real estate services throughout South Carolina’s Lowcountry, strengthening support for buyers, sellers, and investors across Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Port Royal, Ridgeland, St. Helena Island, and surrounding communities.
The expanded service initiative follows several years of sustained business growth that has increased demand for local representation across the region. The Gruel Group has enhanced its transaction coordination processes, client communication systems, and regional market coverage to better serve clients throughout Beaufort and neighboring markets.
“Our goal has always been to provide knowledgeable guidance rooted in local experience while maintaining a responsive and organized client experience,” said Blake Gruel, Founder and Lead Agent of The Gruel Group at eXp Realty. “As more buyers and sellers look throughout the Lowcountry, expanding our regional services allows us to better support clients across multiple communities while continuing to deliver the personalized attention they expect.”
South Carolina’s Lowcountry continues to attract homebuyers seeking primary residences, vacation properties, retirement homes, and investment opportunities. The Gruel Group’s expanded regional coverage is designed to help clients navigate varying market conditions across each community while benefiting from localized pricing analysis, negotiation strategies, and transaction management.
The initiative includes broader market support throughout Beaufort County and neighboring areas, allowing clients to work with a single team whether relocating within the Lowcountry or purchasing property across multiple communities.
Supporting the expanded operations is an experienced transaction coordination process led by Cori, who oversees client communication and transaction management from contract through closing. The coordinated approach is intended to provide buyers and sellers with consistent communication and organized support throughout each stage of the transaction.
The expansion builds upon the company’s established presence in the region. Since entering real estate in 2020, Blake Gruel and The Gruel Group have completed more than 300 residential transactions representing over $50 million in career sales volume. Blake Gruel was also recognized as an eXp Realty ICON Agent in both 2025 and 2026, recognition awarded to qualifying high performing agents within the eXp Realty network.
A lifelong Beaufort resident, Blake Gruel brings firsthand knowledge of the area’s neighborhoods, schools, waterfront communities, and local market conditions. Before transitioning into real estate, he served as a high school educator and athletic director, experience that continues to influence the team’s communication focused approach to client service.
The expanded service area reflects ongoing population growth throughout the Lowcountry and increasing interest from buyers relocating from other parts of the United States. Communities including Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Port Royal, Ridgeland, and St. Helena Island continue to experience evolving housing demand across a variety of residential property types.
By broadening its regional coverage, The Gruel Group aims to provide clients with consistent representation across multiple markets while maintaining the local expertise associated with each individual community.
