Representing Buyers on Lake Keowee involves a lot more than showing homes and land. My knowledge of how Duke Energy Lake Management controls and manages the lake, boat traffic, dock permitting and much more, make me a valuable asset for my buyers. Positive relationships with other agents and overall market knowledge give my buyers access to the best properties on or off market. Lake Keowee still offers some amazing waterfront lots for your future home to be built on. I have cultivated relationships with some of the best builders in our area so we can make sure the lot you pick out is perfect for your dream home!
Representing Sellers on Lake Keowee requires an agent that can properly market, negotiate and navigate the escrow process. My goal has always been to make that process as easy as possible for my sellers so they can focus on the next step in their lives. I’ll make sure your property gets the most exposure online and within the proper social circles.
I have built my business on treating my clients better than I want to be treated. I take each transaction very seriously and want to make sure there are no surprises. Whether buying or selling on Lake Keowee, I know how much it means to my clients that we “get it right.” I have successfully closed 525 transactions and counting for over 200 Million dollars since 2004. More importantly, I’ve built my business primarily on referrals and some of my family’s best friends were originally clients of mine. Lake Keowee is a special place that provides an amazing lifestyle. I’d love the opportunity to share this lifestyle with you and your family!

Mike & Cathy
We were not in a hurry to find our retirement home. Greg was very patient and did not rush us. He made sure he understood exactly what we were looking for staying reasonably within our price range. He knows Lake Keowee and made sure we understood the pros and cons of very Lake house we looked at. After we made the decision to buy he helped us through the process doing as much as he could do for us. We would recommend Greg to anyone thinking of buying a house on Lake Keowee. You will not be disappointed.Mike and Cathy K
Eric & Rachel Moore
I've been on the mortgage industry side for over 20 years. Greg's knowledge and skill set help my wife find the perfect lot that will eventually become our last home. Greg and staff took care of everything, permit(s) and approvals knowing we live in Colorado. Looking forward to running into him on the lake in the next year.
Chad & Carri Anderson
We loved working with Greg! A true professional who helped us every step of the way and took all our needs into account. He was very knowledgeable and highly responsive and ultimately helped us find our amazing lake house. I would highly recommend Greg.
Johnny Tong
Greg was fantastic throughout the whole process and is a wealth of knowledge about Lake Keowee and all the aspects of living on a lake! Very responsive, supportive and he facilitated the negotiation very well. We have found a great home and look forward to enjoying life in Lake Keowee for years and years to come! I would definitely recommend Greg who was referred to me by a friend.
Ross Allred
I have bought and sold 3 homes in the last 15 years and I have to say Greg Coutu has been the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. He helped us relocate from across the country, evaluate Lake Keowee and Seneca areas, find a rental home (until we found the correct home to buy on the lake), and ultimately find a beautiful home with great value for our family.Greg has lived in the area his whole life and knows Lake Keowee like the back of his hand. He was extremely instrumental in our decision to relocate to SC. We are so happy with his service and hard work. And the best thing out of this relocation, Greg has his family have become great friends. We cannot say enough about how wonderful Greg was to work with. We have already recommended him to some very close friends.
We, too, have used Greg for real estate needs and have grown to love him. His patience and expertise in the real estate market continue to amaze us. Since we actually live in Atlanta and most of our friends are here, we hear about "the agent" our friends used to purchase property on Lake Keowee - Greg Coutu! They are so impressed with Greg!! We are proud to know him, personally, and as a prominent real estate specialist.
Greg is one of the most honest realtors I've ever met. My first dealing with greg lead to him really went to bat for me. So I used him again to buy my current lot in which I built my dream home home last year. I have reached out for advice many times and he is always helpful and candid. Highly recommend his services. Greg is very trustworthy.
Tom & Heidi Temples
Greg Coutu has been instrumental in assisting us with real estate purchases and listings for the last 15 years. We have purchased four homes and a Lake Keowee waterfront lot and have re-sold two of these properties for a substantial profit. He is wonderful to work with and we have recommended him to many other friends moving into the area.
Greg is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. He really knows this upstate area and found us the perfect property in one weekend. He took the time to find out what we liked and then had 14 properties ready when we arrived for our meeting. After we chose the property, he helped us through the purchase. He then recommended several builders and we chose his first recommendation and ended up with a beautiful home. I really liked working with Greg and in the process of finding a home, he introduced us to many people in the area. I most highly recommend Greg for your real estate needs.
Barbara Kuley
This purchase was the easiest real estate transaction EVER and I did it long distance! I called Greg from Raleigh, he set up 5 condos for me to look at, we looked at all of them in less than 2 hours, I made and offer and off we went! We have done everything via email, phone and text and all has gone perfectly. Highly recommend Greg Goutu as a realtor, especially if you are out of town.
Great helped me to complete each process in a timely manner and communicated with the seller, the lending agent, the inspectors, the closing office and many others involved in our cross-country move.. He was invaluable as my liason and friend with what turned out to be a very rewarding and pleasant enormous undertaking! I would highly recommend him for anyone needing a terrific representatve in any real estate transaction.
Mark Wagner
Greg Coutu is an excellent choice in real estate brokers. His knowledge and attention to detail set home above any agent I've ever dealt with. He goes beyond the expected and puts himself fully into his work. I felt as though I was his only client. I recommend him without reservations.
Greg Coutu provided proper guidance on the pricing and timing for the sale of our lake lot. His valued counsel and negotiating skills were helpful in making, securing and executing a contract. During the time we worked with Greg he has always been there when we needed him and was/is a very competent and pleasant person to deal with. He returned our calls in a reasonable amount of time. We did not feel rushed at any point from listing through the completed sale. We had complete trust in him and were not disappointed!
Matt Yoder
Greg was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Being from out-of-state, we put our trust in his local and process expertise and he delivered above and beyond our expectations. Throughout the process, he communicated regularly, and went out of his way on his own time to make sure everything was handled effectively, even helping coordinate items with other groups involved. We are very pleased with our purchase, and can't thank Greg enough for his part in that.
Dan & Genna Blakley
Having moved several dozen times in the past the thought is that moving is "old hat" and easy. Not so! Greg was honest, practical, had extensive knowledge of the area and what kind of people would be visiting our area in the market to buy our home. Greg provided support for all who were involved in the process from start to finish. He was true to his passion for his work and the service he is committed to provide to buyers and sellers alike. He stood by his statement that he would personally do whatever it took to complete the sale of our home even if he had to make sacrifices (and he did). Being many miles from the area made for some uncertainty with people in and out of the home on a regular basis so whenever I requested a trip to the house to check on anything he responded in a timely manner. My only regret is that the sale of our home took us hundreds of miles away and I cannot be there to give him the recommendations to friends and family to give him a call and meet with him face to face to sell their homes and properties. He is "home grown" and loves the area and appreciates the gift the lake and area has to offer.
Personable real estate expertise, without the hassle. Greg Coutu stood head and shoulders above the norm providing experienced insight, open communication, and incredible service to us through the process of buying our home. Throughout the search for our new home Greg excelled at presenting my wife and I with properties that were well suited to our needs. His honest feedback on the homes & locations proved invaluable, allowing us to navigate through the available choices with confidence. Once we were prepared to make an offer, Greg acted quickly & negotiated strongly on our behalf. There are no doubts that Greg is truly invested in providing the best experience for his clients. Through closing he maintained clear and effective communication, making the process as painless as possible. He went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met and that the transition was smooth. Greg is the real estate professional you need in the upstate of South Carolina.
Greg recently represented us on the purchase of a lakefront home on Lake Keowee. We had a positive experience working with Greg from start to finish. From the beginning of our search Greg worked on learning what our needs were, and focused on properties that would meet our needs. As out of state buyers, his knowledge of the lake, surrounding areas, and neighborhoods was extremely helpful. Greg kept us informed without making us feel pressured. When we found the right home Greg handled the entire process, from offer to closing, efficiently and professionally. He was always reachable and responsive to our requests. We would highly recommend Greg to anyone looking for a home in the Lake Keowee area
Kent Ellington
Greg is the only realtor you should use. Not only is his knowledge, advice, help the best available, his service is out of this world. He is an extremely ethical guy and will be honest with you about everything. His one desire is to make you happy, not just get a sell. He has been a tremendous help to us through the purchase of our place and so very helpful on too many things to count that has nothing to do with him making money, etc. He just believes in always doing the right thing. Ive never been more impressed with anyone. From finding the builder/architect/dock, to recommending places to eat, things to see, people to meet, meeting me/helping me well after the sale was complete, etc etc. He is so helpful. We live out of town and he provides next next next level service. I cant tell you enough how great this guy is. Rockstar!!! Best realtor in the USA - no doubt.
Jeff Crouch
Greg made our buying process very easy. I was looking for a piece of property near Lake Keowee. With his guidance, we found the perfect lot and it was UNDER our budget! His knowledge of the area is very impressive. I would highly recommend Greg to anyone!
Bob & Ann Coon
We listed our home with Greg Coutu at the recommendation of a neighbor. Greg proved to be very knowledgeable about the market and someone we could trust to guide us through the listing and sales process. His advice was always right on target. He communicated effectively with the buyer's agent and worked well through several issues the buyer raised after the sales contract was signed. We felt Greg always responded in a timely manner and was completely honest. He had connections with reputable contractors who immediately made all repairs identified in the inspection. We would highly recommend Greg to others.

The McLaws Family
We recently sold our lake front house with Greg Coutu as our realtor. We cannot say enough good comments about Greg. At our house, we call him Greg "Can-Do". He was prompt, attentive, knowledgeable and polite. We highly recommend Greg.
Trisha Johnson
Working with Greg was very easy and non-stressful. He made the Buying process fun and kept us very knowledgeable of the area, schools and always had our best interest first. You can tell he is definitely not in it for the Sale but for the happiness of his clients. I recommend him to anyone who asks about real state in my area.
Dean Soll
I am a full-time California resident with Clemson ties who wanted to purchase a lot on Lake Keowee. My son is an agent in SoCal and I tasked him to find/interview/select an agent to represent me. He interviewed 4 agents and selected Greg. After just closing I can say Greg was the best realtor I have ever worked with. Extremely knowledgeable about Lake Keowee and really listened to my needs and tailored our search and purchase to exactly meet those needs. My biggest "like" about Greg is Trust. I feel he treated my purchase evaluation/decision like it was for his own family. That's how much care and thought he brought to the table. He is my upstate realtor for life!
Kelly Culpepper
From start to finish, working with Greg was easy and stress-free! He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend him to all of my friends and family. We are so thankful for his knowledge and expertise along the way!
Ray Plachta
Greg is an outstanding realtor, his thought process and knowledge of the area are a clear reason why he is so successful. He worked with us to come up with the correct price and then when the first offer fell apart he worked to get a second offer which closed in 14 days.
The Long's
Communication is a priority by Greg and absolutely appreciated by us during the course of buying a property in the Seneca area. Greg proactively contacted us regularly throughout the buying process and offered his knowledge of the area as well as guidance in making an offer. He was also able to connect us with local resources to help facilitate the closing. We absolutely recommend Greg for his availability, knowledge, and guidance. He is very down-to-earth and even though our purchase was probably not as expensive as others, Greg made us feel as though we were his main clients.
Kim Day
Greg Coutu is an experienced and knowledgeable realtor who is dedicated to assisting the buyer purchase their chosen home.

Greg was an excellent agent and I will use him again. He always kept me informed and was very helpful with negotiating. He is very knowledgeable and really enjoys his job. I don't believe you can get a better agent so I highly recommend Greg.
Thomas Loffredo
Greg's services have redefined the role of real estate agent. He is technically competent, personable and ALWAYS willing to educate. Our transaction was flawless, in large part, by Greg's attention to detail as well as his ability to anticipate and exceed expectations. We were always informed and prepared for next steps. He is the consummate real estate professional. I am willing to take anyone's call to discuss further.
Nate & Rebecca Richards

We can't say enough great thinks about working with Greg! He worked tirelessly for 8 months to find us the right home, and he delivered! Many times along the way, Greg's local knowledge, business contacts, vendor selection, and great insight proved very valuable in guiding us to the best decision.

We highly recommend Greg Coutu!

Keith Long
It was a true pleasure to work with Greg! I do not know what he could have done to make selling our home a smoother process. He was very helpful from our first meeting to discuss "what if" all the way to closing. His knowledge of Lake Keowee and Oconee County market in general gives his clients a great advantage. He was always quick to respond to our questions and needs with correct answers and great advise. He scored a 10 out of 10 with us!
Alix & Francisco Sanchez
Greg is very knowledgeable of the Lake Keowee market which is great for both the buyer and the seller. From a seller's perspective, he has great suggestions about how best to position the property, and has good suggestions to get a fair pricing for your property. At no point point did we feel pressured to accept his suggestions. He was very professional from beginning to end. Greg will work really hard on your behalf.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Greg Coutu when we purchased our dream lot on Lake Keowee. We have been lucky to work with good agents in the past, but Greg outshines them all. His knowledge of the area is vast, but it's his personality and attention to every detail that made our experience exceptional. He keeps on top of everything and was great about keeping us informed each step of the way. He went above and beyond our expectations and we would highly recommend him next time you need to choose a realtor.
Roger Boothe
Greg has a unique skill set, he has a great understanding of the real estate market in the lake Keowee area, along with a winsome personality that makes him great at connecting with clients, which turn into friends. He never missed the opportunity to keep us informed on showings and showing feed back. When we had questions he was quick to make sure he got back to us with the answer promptly. Trisha, Greg's assistant, was both knowledgeable, assessable and eager to assist us, a valued recourse from the time we listed to the day of closing. I have no hesitation in recommending Greg.
Tracey McDonald
Greg was so helpful in educating us on Lake Keowee real estate options. He took the time to show us several different types of property so that we could understand what would work best for us in our quest to buy an undeveloped lot so we can build our dream retirement home. He even offered to take us out in his boat so we could measure the depth of the lake where our dock will be built to ensure the property fit our needs. I can't imagine finding a better realtor if you're interested in buying a lot or home on Lake Keowee.
Peter Yee
Greg is very helpful and he takes care of all the necessary paperwork, it only took me one week for him to sell my property. I personally highly recommended him.
Doug Napodano
A good friend of mine recommended Greg Coutu as a real estate agent to help us purchase property on Lake Keowee. As soon as I contacted Greg, he was willing to help us and started immediately working to find the property that matched our requirements. Greg is extremely knowledgeable about Lake Keowee real estate and the Seneca SC area. Greg helped secure the dock, shore stabilization and septic permits. Greg was always responsive and was very hands on and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Greg Coutu to help you find real estate in the Lake Keowee, Seneca area.
Randy & Susan Satterfield
Greg has helped us buy and sell property at Lake Keowee. Very knowledgeable of the lake and the supporting cast in the area that can help you get things done.

Amy Peebles

Ken Shaw
Greg was an outstanding agent who took the time to really understand our families needs.

He guided us through the entire process from beginning to end in a very professional manner. I would highly recommend Greg for any of your real estate needs in the Clemson, Seneca, Lake Keowee area!
Jeff & Kristi Hartman
Professional, straight forward, efficient, and effective. Excellent marketing approach and detailed pricing analysis despite a lack of local comps - Greg knows the area and the proper value to place on land, water frontage and home type. Pleasure to work with Greg and his team. We listed our house on Monday and it was sold on Friday. Can’t think of anything I would have preferred differently.
Phil Boatwright
My wife Lori and I had a great experience working with Greg on our purchase. His knowledge of the area is very impressive and his almost immediate response to any of our questions was very much appreciated. Greg is one of the most professional realtors I have ever worked with and would highly recommend him, as his commitment to his clients shows everyday in the "little" things he did to help make the transaction a little easier for Lori and me.

He was very knowledgeable about the area and the lakes. He made sure we understood the pros and cons of every house he showed us. Once we decided on a home he was helpful in the bidding process.
Mike & Becky Landry
We give Greg a 5 star on everything! He was on top of things from the beginning. He never failed to communicate what was going on and if there were any problems, he had solutions which was comforting to us as buyers. Besides all that, Greg is pleasant and, in general, a heck of a nice guy. We would highly recommend him.
Paul & Carol Lechtenberg
We were not familiar with the area at all when we first started the process of looking for a home. Greg was very knowledgeable about the area. He was very patient in determining what would be the best home for us as well as very responsive to our numerous calls and questions. A pleasure to be with yet always very professional. He navigated us smoothly through all the steps involved with purchasing a home.

Steve & Barb Zacharczyk
Greg Coutu is an elite real estate professional. He is hyper focused on his clients needs and provided top tier professional advice throughout our home selling process. We always felt we were the only clients Greg had (we knew he had many more) because he and his partner Trisha were so attentive to our needs. Greg is a fantastic communicator, is very well connected throughout the area and has established a stellar reputation amongst his peers and other business professionals. Our home selling process from start to finish was quick, precise, fair, friendly, honest, and most of all professional. We give our highest recommendation to use Greg when you need to sell or buy your home.
Lacey Shore
Greg is a great realtor! He is very knowledgable about the area, the market, and other practical matters involved in real estate transactions. As someone who has had issues finding a helpful realtor in the past, I was very impressed with Greg and happy to work with him.

Trip & Laura Guinan
Greg was very informative the first time we viewed the house we ultimately purchased, open and responsive. The second time we viewed, it offered to have us speak with current owners for more information, if we wanted. He was still open and responsive. He brought buyers to us to view our current home which ultimately led to the sale of that home, allowing us to purchase our new home very quickly and smoothly. He has a great network of people in the area, lots of local subcontractor knowledge. Friendly, available by text, phone and email after hours and on weekends. Truly dedicated to his profession, he even responded to us after his property was damaged by the Easter tornado!
Nancy Wech
Greg knows his business & he does the work to get the job done! His communication skills are outstanding & his assistant, Trisha Johnson, is very capable & helpful. I couldn’t be happier!

His communication skills are exceptional, and he is extremely personable. He has also provided us with numerous wonderful recommendations within the local community, demonstrating his knowledge of the area. Greg even went so far as to research and recommend an excellent agent in the market where we were selling during the same time frame. We definitely highly recommend him, and would be happy to work with him in the future!
David Clayton
First-rate service in all respects from Greg Coutu. We were in the unusual position of needing to buy a house without ever seeing it in person (due to Covid), and with very little knowledge of the area we were moving to (from out of the country). Greg was patient and responsive in absorbing our concerns and considerations (over the phone and by email), clearly knowledgeable about the area, and then extremely helpful in managing negotiations, inspections, lenders and lawyers. We closed successfully two days ago! Can't recommend him highly enough.
David & Heather Poulson
Greg and his assistant Trisha treated us like we were their only clients and did an outstanding job advertising and selling our home. We will never use any other agents as long as Greg and Trisha are in the business!!!! If you are looking for a great real estate experience call them!
Ken & Gail Tully
Greg and his team are masters at their craft!!! They thoughtfully guided us through the entire process and leveraged their local knowledge and connections to enable a positive outcome (sale) of our property. Highly recommend working with Greg!!!

We HIGHLY recommend Greg and his team and will use him again if we ever have the opportunity.

He is knowledgeable about all parts of real estate transactions, knows the area and market very well, and is always available for questions however simple or complex. He works so hard for his clients and makes the whole process a breeze.
Julien & Leah
Greg just helped us buy our first house. At our first showing he gave us the entire history of lake Keowee. To say he is knowledgeable of the area is an understatement. Being first time homebuyers, we had no clue what we were doing. Greg was patient with us and available to answer all our questions. He made the home buying process worry free and did everything he could for us. If you are looking for a realtor that will fight for you and performs their job with integrity, Greg is your man. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

Greg did a fantastic job of helping us negotiate the purchase of our new lake keowee lot! His knowledge of the area and his great resources ensured the process went as smoothly as possible. Greg is extremely responsive and supportive! Couldn't have asked for a better person to help us realize our dreams! Thank you so much Greg!
Cindy Marengill
Greg is a perfect gentleman, kind, professional and has an amazing knowledge of the area market. Trisha is a kind, thoughtful, always thinking ahead professional. With some agents, I felt as if I had to be in touch everyday, however not with this team, they were always one step ahead. You will be in great hands with the Coutu team!
Kane & Stephanie Sinakhonerath
Greg was such a big help in helping us find our dream lot on Lake Keowee. He was able to help us identify exactly what we were looking for and provided us with tips and recommendations along the way to ensure we were able to get what we pictured in our minds. With tremendous real estate experience and Greg being a native of the area, he was able to explain everything there is to know about the lake and the surrounding areas. From market trends, home and lot values, details about each community, and rules and restrictions, we were able to use all this information to find exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend using Greg to anyone in search of their dream home or lot on Lake Keowee or the surrounding areas. Greg and his team was on top of everything, took care of any issues or questions I had, and made the entire process the smoothest and best purchasing experience we have ever had. I cannot thank Greg and his team enough in helping us finally find the perfect place on the lake for us.
Harv & Denise Rettberg
Greg helped my wife and me buy the perfect home on Lake Keowee. He diligently and patiently worked with us to refine what we were looking for. His knowledge of the market and the available inventory helped immensely. I cannot endorse him strongly enough.
Brandon & Rachel Smith
If you are buying real estate in Seneca or on Lake Keowee, Greg is your go to guy. He has excellent knowledge of the area . Greg is honest and upfront and will tell you the pros and cons about each house/lot you are interested in. Since we were out of town during most of the process, he was very helpful throughout the buying process including the inspection and post-inspection tasks. His assistant, Trisha, is also excellent to work with and will stay on top of all tasks throughout the process. Can't say enough positive things about this team.
George & Andrea Kambanis
We can’t say enough about our experience with Greg and his team. However, the most amazing fact about our Lake Keowee home purchase is that we never saw the house or the property, in person, until the day before our closing! This is a true testament to Greg’s passion for providing honest, knowledgable and sound advice to his clients. From the very first conversation we had with Greg, he took the time to understand why we wanted to buy a home on Lake Keowee, and what we wanted from the property and house. He truly understood the needs and wants of our family which made it that much easier for us to trust his feedback. Knowing that we couldn’t travel to the property before other offers came pouring in, Greg was quick to react and did much of the due diligence to dial in our initial offer...just in the nick of time! It was evident from the beginning that Greg was more interested in making sure we were comfortable with our decisions and truly wanted us to be happy with our purchase. We are beyond delighted and our family is looking forward to the many memories we will forge at our beautiful home on Lake Keowee! Cheers to Greg and his staff for helping us make our dreams come true. If you give hime a shot, I promise he will do the same for you!
Jimmy & Malissa Spiropoulos
Greg, went above and beyond to help us find the perfect lot to suit our needs. He spent many hours with us on the phone and in person reviewing and showing us potential lots, until we found the right one for us. Greg, is very knowledgeable about Lake Keowee and made this whole process very easy.
Gary Hutchinson
I was referred to Greg through a friend of mine who also bought a place through Greg. Greg's local knowledge and honest opinion are invaluable in the home-buying/lot buying process.
Brian & Julie English
We cannot put into words how thankful we were to have Greg as our agent. The seven time’s we have used him to buy and sell is testimonial enough. Greg is so professional. He has made the selling and buying of all our homes a completely stress free experience. We would highly recommend Greg and his team.
Josh Schumpert
Greg’s knowledge of the Lake Keowee communities is second to none. He helped us find exactly what we were looking for and was up front and honest with us during the process. He knew we weren’t in a hurry to buy and he patiently waited until the right lot became available to meet our needs. We highly recommend Greg Coutu!
Jean-Paul Cane
I've sold a house and bought another with Greg over the course of 3 years. In both cases he did a fantastic job. He's honest, proactive, and responsive and will alert you to issues in a neighborhood or with a house. He knows Seneca and Clemson intimately. He really went the extra mile selling my house when a buyer was trying to get us to fix every little detail of a 40 year old home. He stuck with it and helped negotiate through our disagreements with amazing patience. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly.
Kris Rosell
We highly recommend Greg Coutu for either representing you as you search for your new home OR if you are listing your home. Every interaction with him, he builds your confidence & faith in his expertise, knowledge, wisdom, & empathy. Buying and/or selling a home can be extremely stressful & an emotional roller coaster ride. Having Greg on your side helps to lessen the burden. With all of his expertise, he also shows a great deal of humor, patience, kindness, & sensitivity as our homes have meaning & a lifetime full of memories. His kindness really shown through as we had listed our home with him years ago. On the way to sign off on an offer (contract), I had second thoughts & decided I did not want to sell after all. When it came time to sell this time around, not only did he accept to represent us, he did so with no mention of what had happened years earlier. He is a good man & soul. Through the years, he has also has put us in touch with people that were looking to purchase watercraft 'toys' & referred us to electricians, plumbers, painters, etc...He knows everyone & everyone knows him! If you want someone who knows what he's doing, has a fun sense of humor and a big, full, & pure heart, Greg Coutu is for YOU! If we should purchase or sell again in Seneca, SC, Greg will be the first person we call.
Bill Galinsky
Greg Coutu is the man! If you need a real estate agent who is extremely knowledgeable, very responsive and just a real pleasure to work with, then you needn't look any further. Greg was always accessible and kept us informed every step of the way. He will treat you right.
Mark Taylor
I have worked with many realtors in the past and without a doubt, working with Greg was the most seamless, pleasant buying process I’ve ever experienced. Since we do not live on Keowee full time, we really leaned on his knowledge of the lake. Greg’s biggest strength, in my opinion, is his emphasis on integrity. There were numerous times that he put our relationship above business, and because of that, he has become a friend.
Kevin & Dana
Greg was excellent to work with. He was readily available to show us different properties and is a wealth of information when it comes to Lake Keowee and the surrounding area. Greg simplified the home buying process and was there every step of the way. I would definitely recommend using Greg Coutu for your Lake Keowee real estate needs!
Dana Nemr
We can't say enough about the professionalism associated with working with Greg Coutu. He was responsive to all of our questions, timely with all communications, and always did whatever he had told us that he would. His local knowledge is exemplary as Greg grew up in the area and also attended Clemson University. I can't image working with anyone that could have been anymore assistive in the process of purchasing our lake home. PS: Greg continues long after our closing to provide us with local contacts for services we need. We consider Greg more than a good realtor, he has become a good friend and he is a great guy.
Bob White
Greg listed our home for sale and he and his team did a great job. He is personable and very knowledgeable about Lake Keowee and its different subdivisions. Greg was up front and honest about what we needed to do (and not do) to get our home in the best shape possible and to maximize any offer. We got an offer in less than a week and Greg stayed with us until all contingencies were satisfied. We couldn't be more satisfied with the results!
Pete & Maria Ebersole
Greg was excellent! He made sure everything was handled efficiently before there were any surprises - he had expert insight on issues that needed to be resolved before we went to market. He was responsive and professional with all aspects of our sales transaction once we got an offer. When issues arose during the due diligence period in our contract, he was eager and knowledgeable in finding the solutions. We recommend him highly and will use him again with any future transactions in the area.
Allen Krieg
Amazingly smooth transaction. Greg found a buyer for our home immediately, treated us like family, and handled everything. He is honest and highly educated on the local lake properties. Best realtor in our area.....
Archie Barron
Greg was outstanding to work with & he quickly earned our trust. He excelled at listening to what we liked and only suggested homes that matched our criteria. If I asked about a home, Greg provided clear reasons why it matched or did not match our goals. We have a 3 hour drive to visit the area, we appreciated his honesty. Greg was professional & quick to follow up on any issue or question that we had during the buying process. My wife and I would strongly recommend Greg.
Jim Larue
I have purchased multiple properties through Greg over the past several years. Greg is knowledgeable, professional and very responsive - attributes that I find critical in selecting an effective agent. I have also referred a number of friends to Greg and they have received excellent service. I have given Greg permission for you to contact me if you so choose. Use Greg and his staff for your real estate needs and be confident that you will be in good hands.
Russ Crumley
Working with Greg was the best experience we have had with a realtor. The listing and pictures were great, he is very knowledgeable, and communicated well. Couldn’t ask for a better realtor! If you are looking for an honest and hard working realtor, Greg is the one!
Dave & Sue Sykes
Greg provided excellent service from his immediate response to a call on one of his listings to our closing. He has many strengths,especially his knowledge of the area, and the market. I think one of his most valued qualities is his professionalism and dedication to his clients. I would definitely recommend Greg Coutu.
Elisabeth Colquhoun
Greg was recommended to me and in our initial interview I found him to be attentive, reassuring, and respectful. Having once established a price for our house (and explained the reasoning behind it ), he actively encouraged traffic through the property and never once pressured us to lower the price for a quick sale.
Lisa Lund
Greg is extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of the Lake Keowee Real Estate Market. His expertise helped guide me through each step necessary to reach that ultimate successful closing. He always made himself available to answer any questions I had and returned my calls promptly. Throughout the entire process he was exceptionally courteous and professional. I would highly recommend Greg and his services to anyone buying or selling real estate in the Upstate.
Greg Schuth
Greg knows Keowee.. I used other realtor who fell short of marketing my property. I turned to Greg for help. Glad I did !!! My only regrets was not using Greg sooner. Based upon first hand experiences, I would highly trust Greg Coutu for your Keowee buying or selling needs!!
The Hovart's
Working with Greg was absolutely wonderful! He is incredibly knowledgeable about Lake Keowee real estate and his experience showed through in every interaction we had. Greg took the time to understand the diverse needs we had in a lake house. and helped us find the perfect property. During the actual transaction process Greg was very responsive to phone calls and texts and kept us fully informed. From viewing to offer/negotiations through the inspection and closing process,Greg guided us at every step. Whether you are local to the upstate like we are, or out of town,I highly recommend working with Greg.
Ian Bock
Greg was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in the process of selling our home. His thoroughness and knowledge of the market allowed us to sell our house extremely quickly and smoothly.
The Kummer's
Greg was incredible. I loved that he knew so much about the area and was very patient with us. He is trustworthy. We have a large family and they were all in on our house hunting. Greg got to know all of us and made house hunting a pleasure. He is easy going and I never felt pressured into a decision. Even now if I need anything he is right there willing to help. If I could give him ten stars I would.
Garvin Barker
I can’t say enough about Greg Coutu! We have worked with him multiple times and always are pleased with our experience. I’m specifically impressed with the time Greg provides and how he guides you though the process and any issues that come up. I highly recommend you call him the next time you buy or sell!
We were not in a hurry to find our retirement home. Greg was very patient and did not rush us. He made sure he understood exactly what we were looking for staying reasonably within our price range. He knows Lake Keowee and made sure we understood the pros and cons of very Lake house we looked at. After we made the decision to buy he helped us through the process doing as much as he could do for us. We would recommend Greg to anyone thinking of buying a house on Lake Keowee. You will not be disappointed.Mike and Cathy K
