“Flip Flops and Pearls is bringing a methodology for helping people achieve lives of financial freedom, joy, and abundance to Charleston.”
Reggie Fairchild is a goal-driven entrepreneur with a passion for empowering others to achieve their own dreams. Reggie’s diverse experiences in innovation, finance and entrepreneurship led him to create Flip Flops and Pearls.
After leading several of America Online’s most successful product launches in the late 1990s, he relocated to Charleston in 2003 in order to campaign a sailboat. He raced in the 2005 Melges 24 World Champions and won the Corinthian National Championship in 2008.
Reggie went on to start up his own successful web design firm and co-found an innovative niche real estate company that became a top producer in its market. He has also served on the boards of several startups and non-profits. By combining these experiences with his strong commitment to client service, he’s able to provide exceptionally engaging financial guidance.
Reggie earned an MBA at Cornell University, and a BA in mathematics at Indiana’s DePauw University. He studied for his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification at the University of Georgia Terry Business School. He is planning to sit for the exam later this year.
Married with three children, Reggie is a water sport aficionado. He continues to actively race sailboats. Together, he and his wife also work to protect the ocean and seashore environment.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
