COLUMBIA, SC, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Keller Williams The Downing Group has surpassed 4,000 career real estate transactions and more than $1.108 billion in career sales volume, marking another milestone for the Columbia-based real estate team serving buyers and sellers throughout the South Carolina Midlands.

Led by Brent Downing, The Downing Group has spent 17 years actively selling real estate and has grown to a team of 25 producing agents. The group serves Columbia, Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, Blythewood, Gilbert, West Columbia, Lake Murray and surrounding communities.

The team's record includes 4,032 career transactions and $1,108,055,552 in career sales volume. In its peak year of 2021, The Downing Group closed 544 transactions representing $151,630,695 in sales volume.
The Downing Group also ranked #4 in Group Sales in the 2025 Keller Williams Carolina Region with 356 units sold and #6 in Group Sales GCI with $3,488,592.

“We've been doing this a long time, and the goal hasn't changed,” said Brent Downing. “Sit down, look at the numbers and figure out what actually makes sense for the client. Sellers want to know what it's going to take to get their home sold for top dollar, and buyers want someone who will help them make a smart decision and negotiate hard on their behalf.”

The team's Midlands business extends across Richland, Lexington and surrounding counties, including established Columbia neighborhoods and communities such as Shandon, Old Shandon, Wales Garden, Heathwood, Lake Katherine, Elmwood Park, Rosewood, Cottontown, WildeWood, Woodcreek Farms, Lake Carolina, Spring Valley, Harbison, Yacht Cove and Murraywood.

In Lexington County, The Downing Group has completed business in communities including Saluda River Club, Governors Grant, Persimmon Grove, Cobblestone Farms, Spence Plantation, Mallard Lakes, Hunters Ridge, Aberdeen Farm, Bridgeford Place and Yardley Farms.
The team works with first-time home buyers, people relocating to the Greater Columbia area, military relocation and VA buyers near Fort Jackson and Shaw Air Force Base, new-construction buyers, investors, move-up buyers and people searching for homes on and around Lake Murray. The group's seller experience includes primary residences, estate and probate properties, lakefront homes, land, condos, townhouses, golf-course homes, riverfront homes and historic properties.

Client feedback has also become a significant part of the team's online presence. Keller Williams The Downing Group has accumulated more than 1,400 Google reviews and 1,140 Zillow reviews, with a five-star average on both platforms.
For Downing, the numbers matter because they represent experience gained through thousands of individual negotiations, inspections, listings, offers and closings.
“Experience matters when the market gets complicated,” Downing said. “We've seen a lot of different markets over 17 years. Our job is to tell clients what they need to hear, show them the numbers and fight for the outcome they're trying to achieve.”
