Greg Coutu

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

---

Greg's services have redefined the role of real estate agent.  He is technically competent, personable and ALWAYS willing to educate.

He is the consummate real estate professional.  I am willing to take anyone's call to discuss further.

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.

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

Greg & Nancy

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.

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

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.

---

John Candler

Greg and Trisha are top notch and have a wealth of information about the local area. They go above and beyond and never disappoint! This is my second time using them and it won’t be the last!

Greg was patient never pushy. We were not in a hurry to buy and wanted to find the perfect home for us.  He asked questions until he understood exactly what we wanted. 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.

---

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.

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.

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 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.

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!
