Meet Drew and Alexandra Salazar, a dynamic couple deeply rooted in the Charleston community. Drew, a local boy with a background in real estate and investing, owns the esteemed Synergy Group Properties alongside his brother, John, and brother-in-law, Joe. With a family-oriented approach, their brokerage has flourished into a team of eight dedicated agents. Meanwhile, Alexandra, originally from Victoria, BC, Canada, has carved her own niche in Charleston as a Balloon Enthusiast through her venture, Balloon Therapy Charleston.

Their love story is as enchanting as their pursuits. Alexandra's journey led her from the luxurious decks of private yachts to the charming streets of Charleston. Fate intervened when she crossed paths with Drew at Henry's, a local hotspot. The rest, as they say, is history. As they celebrate their impending parenthood, expecting a little boy in September – a coincidence that his due date aligns with Drew's birthday – their bond grows stronger with each passing day.

Settling in Daniel Island, the Salazars have found a haven where community spirit thrives. For them, the allure lies in the trusting neighbors, the sense of security, and the tranquil ambiance. In a world bustling with noise, Daniel Island offers a sanctuary where faces become familiar, and connections deepen.

Their shared passions extend beyond the realms of real estate and balloons. Drew and Alexandra revel in exploring the waters of Charleston aboard their boat, often pausing for a delightful lunch at Shem Creek. Their adventurous spirits find solace in spontaneous drives around the city, discovering new culinary delights at every turn. Their commitment to community engagement is unwavering. Alexandra's involvement in Balloon Therapy extends beyond mere business; it's a platform for spreading joy and fostering connections. From networking events to volunteering at local initiatives like the bridge run and school career days, she tirelessly advocates for local businesses and causes.

For Alexandra, Balloon Therapy isn't just a profession; it's a calling. In a serendipitous turn of events, she discovered her true passion amidst the whimsical world of balloons. While real estate may have been Drew's initial path, he embraces Alexandra's journey wholeheartedly, recognizing the profound fulfillment it brings her. Together, they exemplify the beauty of following one's heart and finding harmony in divergent passions.
