The guide is kept by someone who lives here.
JZI, Love Where You Live, is maintained by Tapley Baxter, a Charleston-area Realtor with Real Broker who lives and works on Johns Island. Tapley Baxter is a Charleston-area Realtor and self-proclaimed sandwich-generation specialist who helps families juggling teenage kids and aging parents, and her experience in Senior Transitions and Universal Design supports the whole house at every stage. With 30+ years in Charleston and 20+ years in real estate, she brings less guesswork and more confidence to every move.
Johns Island deserves a real community hub. Not a sales page, not a list of listings, but a place where residents, newcomers and curious visitors can find out what is actually happening on the island: which neighborhoods are which, which markets run on Saturday, which farm stand has the tomatoes, and how the island got to be the place it is.
Tapley lives and works here with Real Broker, so she can keep the guide current and honest. Her own work focuses on Senior Transitions and Universal Design: helping families downsize, age in place and find homes that work as bodies change. It is patient, practical work, and it is the same spirit behind this guide. Build something useful, keep it true, and let the community do the rest.

Senior transitions & universal design.
Tapley's real estate work is built around the transitions that come with aging: downsizing from a family home, moving a parent closer to care, or remodeling a house so someone can stay in it longer. Universal design is the quiet skill behind it, making homes work for bodies of every age without looking clinical.
Family transitions
Downsizing, right-sizing, and moving between stages of life with less stress.
Universal design
Homes planned so entrances, floors and baths work for every age and ability.
Island expertise
A working knowledge of every Johns Island community, farm stand and road.
Real Broker
Backed by a national brokerage while staying deeply local on the island.
