CLEMSON

SOUTH CAROLINA

Princeton Review named Clemson as #1 in the US for “town-and-gown” relations with its University. (2021)

The painted tiger paws lead visitors into Clemson, a special and unique town in South Carolina. As the home of Clemson University, and its legendary three-time national championship football program, so much of the town is driven by the relationship between the university and the people who live in and around the area. Clemson does it well, forging a tight bond with the university and its students, offering the charm of a small town with the excitement of a large city with multitudes of cultural and athletic events available for residents and visitors to the area. Many of the university’s alumni return to live or work in this region as they formed a tight connection with Clemson while studying at the school.

Dip your toes in the cool waters of Lake Hartwell. Listen to the carillon play.

Marvel at the talents of world-renowned performers. Cheer for your favorite team.

Experience the feeling of home that draws individuals from across the globe to Clemson and fosters relationships that last a lifetime.

But Clemson is more than the University. Whether it is fine dining or a casual atmosphere, Clemson has all kinds of restaurants and bars offering a variety of food and spirits. There are many places to shop, have coffee, or to just hang out and visit with friends. Spend a day boating on Lake Hartwell or nearby Lake Keowee, visit the Blue Ridge Mountains, or explore the local hiking trails and waterfalls.

Clemson University

Clemson is a leading research institution with more than 80 undergraduate majors and 130 graduate degrees, and students from all over the globe come to study at the school. As a world class university, Clemson offers a multitude of athletic and cultural activities including drama and musical productions. Most are open to the public.

Clemson students enjoy many traditions, including First Friday Parade, Tiger Rag, and Running Down the HIll (which claims to be the most exciting 25 seconds in college football!) Yet two traditions travel beyond the campus - these Tigers produce the renowned Clemson Blue Cheese and Clemson Ice Cream, available on campus and in local grocery stores. Clemson athletic teams compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference and have won many national and conference championships, including the 2021 NCAA Men’s Soccer National Championship.

At COMPASS, we strongly believe in success.

And I am committed to finding success in all my real estate connections.

My wife, Betty, and I visited the Upstate South Carolina area in 2007, and immediately fell in love with the pristine water of the lakes, the gorgeous mountain views, the natural beauty of land virtually untouched by humans, the four distinct seasons, and the kindness of the people we met. We bought a home site that year, and visited several times in 2008 and 2009. On our weeklong and weekend visits, we quickly realized how special this area really is. My wife made the comment that once we were living here it would be like we were always on vacation.

When I am not helping my clients find their ideal home or home site, you’ll probably find me enjoying all the outdoor activities that the area offers, including golf, pickleball, tennis, hiking with our dogs, and spending time on the lakes. I like to start my day working out at the exercise club because I find it invigorating–however, those who know me well will tell you it is because of my enjoyment of food.

My goal as a Realtor is to serve sellers, buyers, and investors who are considering the Lake Keowee area. My commitment is to serve my clients with honesty, integrity, and unwavering representation. I strive to have lifelong relationships with my clients, and to be a constant resource for years after our initial transaction. My philosophy is straightforward–to treat others as I want to be treated, and to focus on what is best for them. I am driven to be the best, not the biggest!

I appreciate that you have taken time to understand what motivates me to live and work in the lake area. I hope to have the opportunity to put my knowledge and the expertise of our expert COMPASS team to work for you and your family.
