Who We Are

H. Benjamin Smith III, CCIM

President / Broker in Charge

Flagship Properties, Commercial Sales & Leasing, was founded in Greenville, South Carolina in 2008 by local real estate businessman Benji Smith at the height of the Great Recession. In 2010, Flagship Properties acquired Riverside Property Management, and in 2011 added a Residential division of seasoned agents, enabling the company to be a full service real estate company of Commercial, Property Management, and Residential services.

Jon Pickhardt, a leader within the Greater Greenville Association of Realtors (GGAR), partnered with Smith in 2011 as General Manager of Property Management and Residential Sales. Smith and Pickhardt acquired boutique property management company Rent The Upstate in 2012, ultimately achieving an increased presence on Greenville’s Eastside. Flagship Property Management is now a leading property management company serving Greater Greenville.

Smith and Pickhardt continued their real estate business expansion in 2013 by acquiring ownership and commercial operations of The Office Centers – the largest executive suites company in Upstate South Carolina.

Through the acquisition of multiple real estate companies, as well as the experience and key efforts of dedicated real estate agents and brokers, Flagship Properties, Flagship Commercial and Flagship Property Management has become a prominent full-service real estate company in Upstate South Carolina.
