Jonathan Pickhardt

After gaining a decade of experience in management with Belk, Inc., Jon Pickhardt moved into real estate in 2006 to take on a new challenge, and to allow him to spend more time with his wife, Melanie, and their two sons. In 2010 he partnered with Benji Smith to purchase Riverside Property Management – now known as Flagship Property Management – and became sales manager for Flagship Properties.

Having returned to Greenville after spending 15 years in coastal Florida and South Carolina, Jon quickly became an important member of the local community. He has volunteered his time as a youth sports coach at his children’s school, was a Board Member of his local HOA, and in 2014 became the board President of the Greater Greenville Association of Realtors, an organization he has worked with since 2010. Jon has also spent time volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, where he worked hands on to build a house. In his free time he likes to keep active by playing basketball and racquetball, and he can often be found cheering on his two sons from the sidelines of their baseball and football games.

Jon believes that the strength of Flagship lies in the sheer breadth of experience to be found in the team he manages. “We are literally a one stop shop,” he says. “Whatever your needs, we have someone who excels in the field.” As sales manager his contribution to the team comes from the wealth of industry contacts he has developed over his extensive career, and the skills he’s learned to develop a customized marketing plan to help his clients move quickly, whether they’re buying or selling.

With Jon’s help Flagship has found an important niche in the Greenville real estate market, and is now uniquely positioned to help buyers, sellers and landlord and tenants in both residential and commercial properties anywhere in the region. As Jon says, “Our clients’ best interests come first!”
