Originally from Travelers Rest, South Carolina, Troy Barber has been rooted in Charleston for over twenty years. As an owner of King & Society, Troy is proud of and passionate about the work we do each day. But perhaps his proudest accomplishment is the culture at King & Society—our supportive, fun, and hard-working team truly represents the spirit of Charleston.
After receiving his bachelor’s in corporate finance from East Tennessee State University, Troy had a short stint as a cotton trader before embarking on a career in real estate. In 2006 he founded Tidewater Realty, a real estate development company that supported investors across Charleston, Dorchester, Berkeley, and Beaufort counties. After nine years running Tidewater, Troy founded King & Society Real Estate, expanding on his passion to connect all people—from students and tourists to homeowners and investors—with a true Charleston experience. Today Troy manages several development projects while molding King & Society’s impressive team of real estate agents, investors, property managers, contractors, and project managers.
He lives on Isle of Palms with his wife and children. When he’s not meeting with clients and growing the King & Society team, he loves getting out on the water, fishing, and spending time with his boys.
