John Orr, CCIM

John Orr, CCIM – The Retail Real Estate Whisperer John Orr doesn’t just do retail real estate—he defines it. As the driving force behind Carolina Retail Experts, John has a knack for placing the perfect concepts in the right communities, making economic development feel less like a guessing game and more like a well-executed strategy. With an eye for opportunity and a mind for deal-making, he helps businesses plant their roots in South Carolina’s booming market, ensuring they don’t just open doors—they thrive. Armed with decades of experience, a CCIM designation, and a borderline-obsessive love for site selection, John specializes in connecting high-value tenants (like full-service grocery chains) with prime locations. He’s got the vision to spot the next hot market, the persistence to chase down the right deal, and just enough skepticism to keep things interesting. When he’s not negotiating deals or expanding his business pipeline, you can find John offshore, balancing life with some deep-sea fishing, or decompressing with a reel (of the fishing or Netflix variety). He’s got the energy for early-morning strategy sessions, the wit to keep meetings lively, and a deep appreciation for the people who make communities great. Looking to make the right move in retail real estate? John’s your guy—just don’t expect him to sugarcoat the truth. Call me 843-906-0043 Drop me a line john@cre.expert
