Phil knows Lake Keowee and Lake Hartwell!We were working together on purchasing our dream home and not a single home passed us by without a expedient and thorough review, and decision to pursue. Phil would stay in contact with us consistently, even though we were not located in the area, and would communicate his thoughts and insights, and boy did we appreciate his opinion. His knowledge of the area, the lakes, and the frustration points for many buyers, after the purchase, gave us even further insight into what we were looking for... And we found the perfect lake house! Once under contract, Phil ran the show extremely well. He negotiated perfectly and got us a great deal, and obtained all corrections desired after the inspection. Phil's strengths include:-His knowledge of the rules and regulations/friction points of Lake Hartwell and Lake Keowee and their properties-His knowledge of general home construction and repair-His ability to anticipate problems before they arise and act on them to ensure a competitive advantage in negotiationsDo not go to another realtor, especially if you are looking for lake property. Phil is your guy!

I can't express in just a few words how awesome my experience with "PK" has been. From a moments notice, literally within an hour of needing to make an offer on a house... I had paperwork signed, and my bid submitted. Phil stayed on top of this like it was his very own purchase, looking out for my best interest from beginning to end... And still continues to follow up to be sure every last detail is taken care of. I can't say enough positive things about Phil, from his upbeat and positive personality, to his knowledge of not only the real estate industry, but of the local area in general. He's provided me with places to go, things to see, as well as places to avoid ...lol. Any referral of a place to eat or visit, or person that he's referred for my homeowner needs has not failed me yet. I'm so thankful and blessed to have been able to work with Phil.... And even more so now to be able to call him a friend.

Phil is very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the market. He walked us through every step and communicated with us the entire time. I feel like we got the most possible for our house, and were under contract quickly. Our move out of state went better than we ever expected, and that is greatly in part due to Phil. He helped negotiate when needed, and calmed all our fears. He is an amazing realtor with great integrity.

Phil was wonderful in handling our home sale! We were in another city 3 hours a way and he went above and beyond to get things done for us and hook us up with people to get the house cleaned, the deck repaired, hook us up with auction company etc. I could not have been more pleased and would highly recommend him!

We had planned to move south a long time ago, when the time was right. Phil introduced us to the area around Seneca and Clemson, SC. Although we had originally looked at other areas in NC (Asheville, Hendersonville, Tryon, and Brevard), he showed us several places near Lake Keowee that were amazing. He quickly found out what we liked, and kept us posted every time a new listing appeared that would satisfy our very particular tastes and functional needs. When we had sold our other home and all the sudden needed to act quickly, he arranged a very full and productive tour of Keowee Key. He was our critical onsite guy when we made an initial offer, and helped us reach an excellent deal. Then his real value became apparent -- the first seller acted in bad faith, refusing to do essential repairs that were deal breakers. Phil insisted that they needed to comply, and took a hard stance on our behalf. Ultimately, we walked and got our ernest money back. Within two days, he helped us land an even better deal on a superior property nearby! That's not all. On the day we had to make a 12 hr epic roadtrip to drive from Ohio to SC for the closing, he arranged permission with the Seller, and met us at the gate for Keowee Key (AFTER MIDNIGHT) to get us into our new home, so that we would not have to stay in a hotel. Phil remains a close friend, and we would recommend him to anybody!
