CHARLESTON, SC (March 9, 2009) —

rēhava – Real Estate Store, a full- service real estate broker offering 50% buyers rebates at closing, announces that it will be the exclusive, on-site brokerage representing homes in Mixson, the award-winning I’On Group neighborhood in Park Circle.  Earlier this year the I’On Group decided to cease operations of I’On Group Realty to focus on its core mission of developing and managing distinctive new urban neighborhoods.

“ rēhava’s unique approach to real estate sales is a great fit with Mixson. rēhava engages buyers who are drawn to Mixson’s high-quality, low-maintenance lifestyle and its green, urbane feel,” said Alys Campaigne, spokeswoman for the I’On Group.

Mixson is a sustainable, walking neighborhood located in the heart of Park Circle in North Charleston, SC. The modern community, scheduled to be developed in several phases over a period of ten years, will offer true urban living while preserving traditional principles of design and architecture. Construction of the first homes started in late 2007 with eighteen homes completed. The first residents moved in to Mixson last fall.

“We are thrilled to start this new sales relationship with the I’On Group, known for its award-winning neighborhoods, high level of quality and attention to detail,” said Steve deGuzman, broker-in-charge of rēhava. “It is a great opportunity for rēhava. This partnership reflects our common goal of providing the best possible real estate services to clients.” rēhava’s new efficient real estate model is built on combining cutting-edge technology while enhancing the clients’ buying experience.

Eleven homes remain for sale in the neighborhood right now, starting in the mid $100,000s and going up to $300,000s. The plan calls for 950 homes and a collection of shops, civic buildings and parks.

Mixson Sales Manager and Eco Broker Brandon Call leads the movement of real estate professionals pushing the real estate market toward energy-efficient, sustainable, and healthier home design. With national surveys indicating that 80'% of consumers consider themselves "green-minded," real estate professionals with the Eco Broker designation are well-positioned to respond to consumer demand.

"I'm always looking for the best ways to offer my clients the greatest value. My Eco Broker training helps me ensure customer satisfaction, which is my number one priority," Brandon Call explains.
