Meet Josephine

Realtor®

Josephine (Josie) has always joked that she’s an Argentine girl who speaks Pittsburghese and thinks she’s Carolinian. Born in the city of La Plata, Argentina, Josie was raised Stateside from infancy on in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Since she was a young girl in the late 70s, her mom would pack her and her five brothers and sisters into the station wagon the day after school let out, and make the 12-hour trip from Pittsburgh to Hilton Head Island for the summer. Those long, magical summers she spent in Hilton Head seeped into her soul and have stayed with her since.

To this day, Josie swears something happens deep within her when she begins to climb the connector bridge from Mt. Pleasant to Isle of Palms and sees the vast marshlands. They had been calling her home since she was a young girl, resulting in Josie and her husband Gastón moving their family of seven along with their Golden Retriever, Andino, to Mt. Pleasant to join her brother Oliver’s family and the team at St. Germain Properties. It’s not that Josie loves Hilton Head less, just Charleston more the beaches, the history, the restaurants and shopping, the daily poolside happy hours not to mention, the real estate. Josie’s family was all on board with livin’ la Vida low country.

In addition to being an HGTV addict who binge watches Property Brothers late at night and a full-time Realtor® with St. Germain Properties, Josie is also the author of the culinary memoir, Sobremesa: A Memoir of Food and Love in Thirteen Courses (Scribe Publishing, Co., May 2021) and the cookbook, Dulce de Leche: Recipes, Stories and Sweet Traditions (Burgess Lea Press, 2017).

Testimonials:

"From the first phone call through closing, Josie was a dream come true! We wanted to explore some locations for a long distance move, and knew next to nothing about the area, but Josie immediately began educating us, sharing her vast knowledge and personal experiences which gave us a true sense of what living there was like. She listened carefully, and sent us listings in keeping with our wants/needs. We told her at the beginning that we were not planning on relocating for more than a year, but she kept in frequent contact, even just to check in and say hi if there were no new listings. She answered every single question we had patiently, and walked us step by step through a market that is completely different from where we live. Ultimately, Josie helped us purchase the house of our dreams, and it couldn’t have been a better experience if she tried! We have bought and sold many, many times, but hands-down this was the BEST real estate transaction we have ever had. We can’t recommend her highly enough - do yourself a favor and call her if you want an amazing real estate professional! "

“Working with Josie completely changed our home searching journey. My family and I were looking for a house for 13 months and we were becoming hopeless. We were referred to Josie and within 2 months of starting to work with her we were at the closing table buying the house of our dreams. Josie’s professionalism and broad network played into our success and we couldn’t be more grateful. I have since referred several other folks including my brother who is closing on his dream home within weeks of meeting with Josie. Josie will be my go to recommendation and first point of contact for all of my real estate needs. “ - Michael and Caitlin Byrne

"My son was looking to move from Massachusetts to Charleston. We were lucky enough to be put in touch with Josie Caminos Oria. We arranged to meet with Josie for a weekend to look at some local homes. Josie set up several visits for the weekend, and we purchased a new home for my son. She was professional and accommodating in sharing her local contacts to make the process seamless. I would recommend to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Charleston area to contact Josie Caminos Oria." - Tim and Cameron LaMotte

"When my husband and I had recently moved to Charleston, Oliver graciously showed us various neighborhoods and properties. It was refreshing to encounter a friendly realtor who wasn’t pushy at all. Once we decided on downtown, Oliver introduced us to his sister, Josephine (Josie), who was also a pleasure to work with.

Josie is savvy, supportive, and tenacious when it comes to real estate. She advocated on our behalf during a challenging buying/closing process.

We felt at ease, knowing Josie had our best interests in mind while searching for the perfect home.

Josie and Oliver are genuine and truly have your backs throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend them to anyone and look forward to working with St. Germain Properties again for any future home buying/selling needs."

Warm regards,

Jen and Zac Hopkins

"It was a genuine pleasure working with Josie, a gem of a person and real estate agent. In the most stressful times of both selling my house and finding another in this crazy market, Josie remained positive and upbeat, in the often-frustrating pursuit of being outbid. She is a consummate professional; warm, personable, and business savvy. She made herself available for my many calls, emails, and texts, which was super important in the market where properties in my range were flying off the shelf. She was always on the ball with short-notice requests to see properties, which was crucial in the process. She has a lot of knowledge, a great network and thinks outside the box. She is quick on the paperwork, understands her business, the market, buyers, and sellers. Josie is first a good person, and I think all of her other qualities and professional methods spring from that foundation." - Aimee Mclendon
