JOYNER COMMERCIAL
“We give back to the community that has given us so much.” Their conference room window looks out over bustling downtown Greenville, and the outlook is excellent at Joyner Commercial: the Commercial Division of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices C. Dan Joyner Realtors®. When Berkshire Hathaway joined forces with C. Dan Joyner Realtors’ commercial division, it created a company that offers the best of both worlds: the resources, marketing, and national ties of Berkshire Hathaway, and the local, people-focused power of C. Dan Joyner. “It is a family here,” said Broker in Charge Matt Carter of the team of 20. “For our company and our clients, that’s important, and that’s what C. Dan Joyner is all about.” Joyner Commercial focuses on every segment of the commercial market, including industrial, retail, office and multifamily. It is also a true brokerage, so the company isn’t competing with developers. “We represent our clients’ interest, and we take pride in that,” Carter said. “We give them the good or the bad – the unguarded truth.” Fortunately, the news has been largely good so far in 2015. The Upstate is particularly sought after, with a lot of out-of-town and foreign investment, along with banks that want a regional headquarters here. There is an improved lending environment, and vacancy rates have tightened up. “The market has been great this year, and we hope that sustains,” he said. “The recession hurt everyone, and there are still pockets of the market that are not healthy, but people are realizing that the Upstate is a golden spot.” The C. Dan Joyner Company has been brokering real estate since 1964, and has been the Upstate’s largest real estate company for more than 15 years. The 74

The commercial office has also grown in number in the last few years. The company prioritizes community involvement, focusing on two annual fundraising efforts: The United Way and the American Heart Association. Joyner Commercial’s agents also participate with the Greenville Transit Authority, Meals on Wheels, and numerous other local charity organizations and various community boards and committees. “Community involvement is part of our responsibility,” he said. “We give back to the community that has given us so much.” Pictured – Back Row: David Dempsey, Hays Reynolds, Steve Hoover, Wayne Smith, Steve Greer, Joe Teague, Stephen Harrill, Barney Atkinson, Hope Tz Schmalz, Helcio Cardoso, Leah Carter.
