"Our property search with REALTOR® Patti Shull was a very positive and pleasant experience from day 1. She made herself available every time we requested to visit The Reserve. Meeting our needs was of utmost importance to her. We found her to be very patient, focused, organized, knowledgeable and above all else friendly/easy to work with. Thanks Patti for helping us to complete our search and purchase of a lot at The Reserve."

"I had very high expectations when I listed my home with Justin. He exceeded them all. From market analysis, to property review and recommendations, to his wise and forthright counsel, to marketing the home to negotiating the final deal, Justin was definitely the best real estate professional I have ever worked with. I would not hesitate to work with Justin again. And I would not hesitate to recommend Justin to my closest friends and colleagues."

"Justin was excellent as he helped us sort through a wide range of options to purchase our home on Lake Keowee. Because of his expertise, he not only lists most of the attractive resale properties, he understands the dynamics of the market. Since we were out of town buyers, he facilitated negotiations, and helped arrange the various services needed for closing. Justin and his associate Libby Zorbas have also been great after closing with followup, recommending contractors, introducing us to our new neighbors and even keeping an eye on our home. They both live in the community and are very involved in making the Cliffs a great place to live." A.W.- Baltimore, MD
"Justin worked with us to find a lake home on Lake Keowee. I've bought and sold a fair number of properties over the years and Justin was by far the best real estate professional I've worked with. He did exactly what a realtor should do (offer very deep knowledge of the local market, answer all answers completely, provide objective guidance, LISTEN, etc). He did not do what too many realtors do (NOT listen, push for a decision, etc). I would strongly recommend Justin to anyone interested in a house in the Reserve or the Cliffs communities." N/A
"My experience with Justin is significant and spans his 8 years in this business. He has listed and sold property for me, and he has also helped me purchase a home. He does his homework, has excellent negotiation skills and knowledge of the markets where he works. He is someone a seller can feel totally comfortable in terms of a fair and honest representation of the marketplace. As a buyer's representative, he provides a professional and balanced view of current conditions and opportunity. Justin gets the highest marks in the business and can be recommended without any hesitation." K.C.- Greenville, SC
"Thanks for meeting and for all your excellent advice. We are blessed to have a friend for a realtor." J.M. - Hoschton, GA
"Justin - Thank you for all you've done to help me. You were a pleasure to work with. When I decided to do business with you, I had very high expectations. You exceeded them all. Thank you." R.O. - Greenville, SC
"I recently made a trip to SC to complete due diligence on a real estate investment deal. Justin provided his insights on the local market as well as valuation of the deal in question. Ultimately our firm did not purchase the deal due to Justin's expertise, as a result we saved a few hundred thousand dollars. Thanks Justin for your outstanding service!!"
"Justin, as I said last fall - a day without Justin is a day without sunshine. You are the very best and we thank you for being our business associate and friend. I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job before the tax board that you did today. Regardless of the outcome, we owe you and Beth a treat." "Patti Shull was our Realtor when we purchased our second home at The Reserve at Lake Keowee. From the moment we first met her, we knew that we were "in good hands". Patti made sure that every aspect of the sale was effortless for us, and made the transaction "worry free". She has since become a friend, and we look forward to seeing her and her husband whenever we are lucky enough to spend time at The Reserve. We give her our "highest" recommendation (and even that doesn't do her justice)." "Patti Shull served as our realtor in purchasing a home in the Reserve development in Sunset SC. She was very professional and tireless in setting up showings within our parameters, pursuing additional information when requested and in finalizing the deal once our bid was accepted. This was all during 2009, when the housing market was very unstable. Because of our successful transaction and interactions with Patti, we subsequently listed a land parcel we have decided to sell. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional realtor." "Dear Justin, We wanted to drop you a note to thank you for helping us sell our home on Lake Keowee. You and your staff are true professionals. The whole process was very smooth and relatively painless. You are a good friend, a great neighbor and the best realtor in the area. I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking to buy or sell. Wishing you continued success..." "They are so happy. He did a great job. I hear he is quite the agent for that section of the lake. One of these days I hope to meet him and pick his brain. We are always looking for great minds in real estate. So great that it is his listing so he really benefits." "Great! Justin, it looks like your business is coming back. You seem to be busy and getting results. We were just down and tried to find where your office is but we didn’t really know where to look. We will be back in Aug / Sept and maybe we can hook up then. Your help with the rentals has meant everything to us and I think you know how much we appreciate all you do. I sincerely wish you the best year possible and continued success. Nobody deserves it more or works as hard for it as you to." "Justin, I just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work helping us find our home on the lake. You really did a terrific job from our first phone call to meeting us at the house on the day we closed (you were washing our windows when we arrived as you may recall)! I specifically want to compliment you on your knowledge of the many homes we toured as well as the market in general. We were amazed that you could answer almost all of our (very detailed) questions immediately and those that you couldn't you researched and got us answers quickly. Additionally, we appreciated your approach; we didn't feel that you were "selling" but rather felt you were "advising" and were a great resource in that capacity. We are probably similar to most buyers in the Cliffs and Reserve - we wanted to make our own unpressured decision on our own timeline but we needed information and advice from a market expert - you filled that role perfectly. The fact that you own property in the Cliffs and Reserve made your insights even more valuable. I suspect your success in real estate is related to the fact that this is the "2nd Act" of your career following your success as a business owner - your background provides an understanding of what is important to buyers of high-end homes and the knowledge that information, and not pressure, is the key to decision making. “I have worked with Justin on many occasions. He has provided unmatched service, valuable insight, and local in depth knowledge to my firm. My firm builds luxury homes and Justin provides superior service, genuine concern, and realistic, straight-shooting advice. He and his team provide the highest quality and most creative solutions to difficult real estate market situations and are more professional than any other firm or person I have encountered in the past. Justin continues to perform flawlessly in a tough market, his prior experience, strong organizational and communication skills combined with his focused dedication to his craft make him an important and needed expert in Real Estate sales and acquisition in the luxury residential market. I am more than confident in Justin's ability and commitment to bring true professionalism, original objective thinking and proven results to any endeavor or project he chooses to take on.” D.C. - Lake Keowee, SC “I have worked with Justin in a Real Estate and Membership Aspect of a very exclusive club. He has always followed through in the most prompt manners and has always been a very pleasant person to work with. I feel that Justin is a great person to work with and he makes all aspects of the Real Estate world a much better place. I wish there were more like him.” W.A. - Lake Keowee, SC
“Justin Winter is by far the most knowledgeable realtor in the Keowee Lake region. He is extremely patient, listens to the needs and requests of his customers and works 24/7 in trying to bring all involved individuals together in a way that satisfies everyone. He remains calm and professional throughout the entire process without applying any pressure whatsoever, whether a deal is consummated or not and never loses his enthusiasm for this very beautiful and unique area. I can also attest that he is very well connected with the local lending community which can be very important as well as many contractors and tradesman. There is nothing but positive accolades that we have for Justin and his entire organization.” J. and P. Moore, Pennsylvania “Thank you very much for all your assistance. Enjoy some treats from Wisconsin! With much appreciation - ” M. & S. Richardson, Wisconsin “Your time and valuable insights are greatly appreciated; thank you for your informative response. The confidence we have in your abilities and your unrivaled knowledge of the real estate market at The Cliffs gives your prospective and predictions a great deal of credibility. Your inputs will be most helpful as we consider investing in additional properties.” M.& K. - Colorado Springs “I appreciate your candidness and frankness. You are doing your current clients a great service by not overextending yourself, and it is a testimony to your integrity. Please keep me informed about when you become comfortable with your inventory levels. ” T. R. - SC “We just wanted to thank you for your assistance selling our lake front property. Your expansive Lake Keowee real estate expertise and sincere professional approach, made our experience working with you, more than exceed our expectations. Due to the unusual real estate market conditions that exist today, having your superior marketing advice available made us feel extremely confident during the entire transaction. Thanks again for all your help!” B. and D. H. “We are thankful that we had Justin's guidance, knowledge and expertise in the purchase of our property at the Cliffs. His level of service and dedication to finding exactly what we were looking for in terms of location and price will ensure that we will refer others to him. ” G. and C. H. - Roswell, GA “Just a quick note to express our thanks and appreciation for your assistance in the sale of our Keowee Lake property. Your professionalism, competence and attention to details certainly made the process seamless. We very much appreciated your initiative and expediency in handling the removal and disposal of the tree that unexpectedly dropped on the roof of the dock. You further assisted in ensuring that the final repairs were made. You were a pleasure to work with and we would not hesitate to utilize and/or recommend your services in the future should the needs arise.” L. & D. V. - Landrum, SC “Justin, as my wife and I were contemplating retirement in the next few years, we decided to look for a home in the upper part of the State. Being in the real estate development business for the last 32 years and understanding the selling process, we decided to find the most successful and respected realtor - a realtor that understood what true “service” is all about. All of our research pointed to Justin Winter and his company. My company has developed several large master-planned communities in South Carolina, most notably Park West in Charleston/Mount Pleasant and Lake Carolina in Columbia. As a result, I have had the occasion to work with professionals in the marketing and selling side of our business for many years. I have not come across many, if any, Justin Winters. He is true professional - unsurpassed area knowledge, excellent marketing skills, great communication, unbelievable service (before AND after the sale) and incredibly organized. Most important, our buying process was fun!” P.T. - Columbia, SC “Recently my husband and I sold a waterfront lot at Keowee Vineyards, a part of The Cliffs Communities®, in Sunset, South Carolina. Mr. Winter was the agent for the transaction. We were impressed not only by his professional manner, but his diligence in keeping us abreast of the ongoing process. We have entrusted the sale of another piece of property to Justin because of the confidence we have in him and his sales ability.” W.S. - Greenville, SC “Justin took an idea and then made our transactions happen - it was an unusual deal. He had the enthusiasm, persistence, contacts and knowledge to get all parties to agree and then to close the deal. Thank you Justin.” S.T. - Atlanta, GA “You’re a good man. Congratulations for your many achievements this past year resulting in you being recognized as the 2007 Top Producer Awards recipient. There is perhaps no greater honor than being recognized by your peers for your tremendous achievements in the profession. The news letter only reiterates what our family already discovered. Well Done!” M. G. - North Carolina “Congratulations on your TOP achievements in 2007! Very, very impressive out of 1600 agents!! Also, here's hoping you are off to a great 2008!” C. W. - Atlanta, GA “I read of your awards and accomplishments in the newsletter and thought I’d send "Congratulations" and a quick greeting. The changes made to your website are great -- love the music selections for the background. The newsletter is appreciated as it helps to educate us a bit about the area, and keeps us updated on what’s going on. We hope to be full time residents of South Carolina by the end of the year.” L. & A. S. - Indiana “Congratulations Justin on your recognition. It’s well deserved!” H. R. - Asheville, NC “Thanks for all your efforts to make today’s closing of our Cliffs lot possible. It has been a pleasure working with you. Hopefully we will have a chance to meet sometime soon.” R. K. - Michigan “Since we decided to sell the Reserve lot, we are so glad you were handling everything. We appreciate the attention and feedback that you gave us. I hope the buyers will enjoy their lot. Thanks so much for everything.” L. & A. - Greenville, SC “Thank you for all your efforts in selling the Reserve Home built by Blue Granite Development. Rick and I were very impressed with the support of you and your staff and your guidance on the proper pricing for the property was instrumental in quickly closing a sale. I will look forward to doing business with you in the future.” R. K. - Michigan “Thanks for all you have done making the purchase of property easy. It has been a pleasure working with you. You have been a great resource as we move forward with the dock, house, etc.” A. & L. S. - Indiana “My wife, Carol, and I were determined to find a high quality waterfront lot in The Cliffs® that met our stringent requirements and was within our price range. We tried The Cliffs® "Release" process without success. We contacted Justin and asked him if he could show us one of his listings. He was there in 15 minutes, and within 30 minutes of his arrival, had our offer written up and on its way to the seller. Justin is responsive, knowledgeable, professional and was a pleasure to work with.” R. D. - Pittsburgh, PA “You were the best realtor we’ve ever worked with, and it was a great pleasure meeting you even though we decided on the other side of the country.” S. S. - Arizona “There are no surprises why you are such a successful person. You have very eloquently demonstrated your understanding of the importance of first contact, to assisting the buyer/seller with every facet of the process leading to the most amicable settlement for all vested parties. I am confident if you made your living as a fisherman there wouldn’t be many that ever got away.” M. G. - North Carolina “You have earned the title of my 'exclusive' Cliffs realtor : )” P. N. - New Jersey “I have told quite a few people that Justin Winter is without question the most professional real estate professional I have ever worked with. Glenn and I both knew that we were dealing with a real business man, a person who knew his market cold, prepared properly for our day together and who gave us his absolute best effort.” D. F. - Atlanta, GA “My wife and I were interested in property at Lake Keowee, but the property lottery approach just wasn't comfortable for us. Justin was extremely professional and helped us find a great lot that was MUCH better than anything we had seen at the price. He was also very helpful in putting us in touch with reputable contractors in the area. I would highly recommend him in every respect.” W. S. - Atlanta, GA “We recently purchased a lot at The Vineyards through Justin. It was a wonderful experience. Justin is easily the most professional, helpful, and knowledgeable real estate agent with whom we have ever dealt. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to exaggerate the level of his service. As a bonus, he is a terrific person.” W. J. B. - Sanibel Island, FL “By the way, congratulations on an outstanding 2005…you are definitely “The Man” (especially at Lake Keowee). I had the opportunity to experience your first class service and know why you are so successful! Keep up the good work!” R. C. - Atlanta, GA “Justin Winter is a true professional, who knows the real estate market on Lake Keowee extremely well. He has kept us totally informed on an ongoing basis, and did a super job of selling our lot. We could not be any more pleased and highly recommend his services, both on selling and buying. He was a pleasure to work with.” H. & B. A. – Spartanburg, SC
“Justin was a tremendous resource for us in finding the perfect lake lot on Lake Keowee. There is real value in retaining an independent agent like Justin. He showed us all around the lake and helped us narrow our choices down so we could have more productive and focused time researching lake developments and lots. Because he lives in the area, he can speak via first hand experiences for the developments on the middle to north side of the Lake. We appreciated his independence and objectivity and considered Justin part of our "decision making team". We closed on our lot months ago but I still stay in touch with Justin and use him as a valuable resource and expert advisor for the area. We continue to send business to Justin as Lake Keowee is no longer an 'undiscovered secret'.” M. W. – Atlanta, GA “Justin took the time to explain the entire Lake Keowee area to me and made sure I saw all the options before making a decision to buy. Since then, he's been tireless in putting together the deal and making it work. Justin is a wonderful and kind realtor who goes above and beyond what most realtors do. Plus, he helped me get my Porsche fixed.” R. R. – Columbia, SC “Justin is a really great person to work with. He knows his market area (Lake Keowee) very well. I would definitely use him for any future Lake Keowee area real estate needs.” Dr. A. S. – Atlanta, GA “You have gone above and beyond being a real estate agent. We consider you and your family friends. Fred and I can't thank you enough for all you have done for us from helping us find our property to guiding us to schools, helping us find a banker to helping Fred find an apartment. The list is endless, but most of all we thank you for being there for us and helping us with our decision to move.” M. & F. S. – Fulsom, LA “Justin found out what type of property we were looking for, and showed us those properties in a very relaxed and professional manner. Not only did we purchase property, but we became friends as well.” J. & P. T. – Cincinnati, OH “Working with Justin was a pleasure. He had the resources needed to move 3 properties very quickly and was completely responsive and proactive during the entire process. I plan to do more business with him.” P. & B. N. – Manalapan, NJ “Thank you for the updates! I appreciate your attention and professionalism.” P. F. – The Cliffs at Glassy®, SC “Of several agents we spoke with in our decision making process, you were by far the most professional, straightforward and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the time you spent with us and wish you the best in your personal and professional endeavors.” D. – Atlanta, GA “Please feel free to use Martha and me as a reference on your real estate site. We have both been totally impressed by your good work and professionalism. Martha being a real estate broker is not an easy one to please but you did the job. Hope to have the opportunity to use you for additional real estate deals in the South Carolina upstate area.” M. J. & M. F.
