Brian came recommended to me from a previous client of his here in the upstate of South Carolina. Since I was relocating from Pennsylvania I couldn’t be here for all the inspections and contractor estimates on the garage that I wanted to build. Brian met with everyone coming out to the property while I wasn’t here without any hesitation or delay and really helped me get everything in place for my final move here. Everything went smoothly, good communication and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone interested in real estate in the upstate area of South Carolina.

We would highly recommend Rob Bradley! We have purchased homes in the past but this is the first time I really felt like i had someone on my side. Rob quickly returned calls and was with us every step of the way. He knows the buying process and made our purchase an easy transaction.

This is the third property that Tammy McGinney has found and negotiated for our family in Oconee County, and once again, she exceeded every expectation.
In today's competitive real estate market, it's rare to find a realtor who provides the level of service, dedication, and professionalism that Tammy consistently delivers. From locating the perfect property to negotiating an outstanding deal, she was with us every step of the way. She knew our taste so well, that in some cases she advised us during her preview, that a property was not up to our standards or liking, so not to waste our time.
What truly sets Tammy apart is her commitment to her clients. She guided us through the entire process right up to closing and went above and beyond by helping secure packages that were delivered to our new home while we were out of state. That kind of personal attention and care is something you simply don't find every day.
Tammy treats her clients like family and genuinely cares about making the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. Her knowledge of the local market, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication make her an invaluable asset to Lake Life Realty.
We are incredibly grateful for everything Tammy has done for our family and look forward to working with her again on future real estate transactions. If you're buying or selling a home in Oconee County, I cannot recommend Tammy McGinney highly enough. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our real estate needs.
Thank you, Tammy, for another outstanding experience!

Brian went above and beyond our expectations. He was accessible anytime we had a question and his responses were quick so that we never had to wait for an answer. He made our out of state move much easier by being available to us for anything we needed. With his many years of experience we were in GREAT hands with Brian. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Rob recently helped us purchase our little lake side cabin at Lake Hartwell. . Once we were in contact with him he very quickly set up appointments for us to view some homes that were similar to what we wanted, and he worked diligently throughout the entire process as an advocate for us. He has extensive knowledge of the Lake Hartwell market and he was very quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns. We appreciated his willingness to help get us exactly what we wanted. If you are in the market for a new home I recommend you use Rob to help you through the process.

My husband and I were looking for our retirement home in the Liberty and Seneca areas so we could be near our kids and grand kids. We live in New York and couldn't travel to South Carolina every time we found something we thought we might like. Rob was great at looking at our picks with our daughter and providing expert input on our choices. In October we finally found the right house, saw it in person the day before closing and loved it. Thanks Rob for all your extra efforts to help us find our new home.

I want to thank lake life realty especially Tammy McGinney for the fabulous job she did in not only finding my new house but helping me in every aspect of closing on it. From start to finish she dedicated endless hours and was in constant contact with me in Miami Florida to accomplish the sale. Without her I would have not ended up in my dream home. She is definitely cut out of heaven and I would recommend her to anyone purchasing or selling a home in South Carolina. From the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you and thank you to Lake Life Realty for your fabulous real estate agent

Rob has a laid-back approach . He did not pressure us into making a decision. Very patient, showed us a number of homes over course of several months. We were moving from out of state, so he would email us prospective homes when they came to market. He worked with our loan officer to facilitate a smooth closing. Would work with him again!

Andy has been an awesome, hands on, and professional individual during our property search. He has always been quick with a response and if he didn’t know the answers, he found them! I would definitely say that he’s gone above and beyond to make our property purchase a home run! It’s been such a wonderful experience and we will truly recommend Andy!!

We were completely new to the area and Rob was so helpful in getting us started on our search. He is extremely knowledgeable of local lake-front properties where we were looking, which saved us a lot of time. He helped us find a lot and arranged for us to meet with reputable local home and dock builders. He really listens to what you're looking for and goes out and finds it!

I would strongly recommend Rob Bradley as an agent to my closest friends and family. Rob recently helped me with the sale of my father's estate. The goal for both of us was to set a price point that was fair to both the seller and the buyer. We sold the home at list after a slight reduction in our original price due to the slow months around the Christmas Holidays. Rob was right there with me the whole time...explaining the paperwork and processes to me and offering his support throughout the sales process. I feel that Rob went above and beyond the call of duty and he definitely exceeded my expectations. Rob invested his time, effort and energy into his role as seller's agent, event though the expected commission he would receive upon the sale of the property was modest. Rob has a very even temperament and was very easy to work with. One thing that is important to me is responsiveness and if Rob didn't answer his phone immediately (which he usually did), he would call me back soon afterward. Rob also took the time to know and understand the fair market value relative to comps in the area. This resulted in a win for both the seller (me) and the buyer. I can say for certain that I will be reaching out to Rob the next time I have a need to buy or sell real estate.

We worked with Tammy on a time crunch when we found out our rental house was being sold. We really enjoyed working with her and appreciated how flexible she was. She made an effort to be available for multiple showing requests and any time we reached out with questions, usually answered within minutes. I feel she went above and beyond to help us find the perfect house but also wasn’t pushy and gave us our space when we were looking at different properties. She even got us a sweet house warming gift. I highly recommend Tammy to anyone searching for a realtor!

Highly recommend Tammy! She went out of her way to help me get the, nearly impossible, house that I wanted. She had a quick response time whenever I had a question and was very informative and helpful in my decision making.

Rob was EXCELLENT to work with! I am a lender and we had a particularly challenging transaction, but Rob was nothing short of amazing. He is a great communicator, which is key in a great real estate experience. I wish all agents were as on top of things as Rob. I would highly recommend him! And I would be honored to work with him again.

10/10 - Lake Life Realty made the experience truly comforting and less nerve racking than I anticipated. The hardest part is making up your mind and then waiting for everything to fall into place, but I will say it was well worth the wait. Brian Cox did a stand up job and still has answers to questions I never knew to ask. Again, 10/10 experience! Would Recommend.

Extremely happy we visited Lake Life Realty to ask about available properties in the area!
After visiting the Lake Keowee area a few times, we decided to go in and inquire on available properties. We're so glad we met Brian that day. We told him we weren't in town for long and he was able to schedule multiple home tours for the very next day. We went home to review the different properties then called and asked him if he could setup a video tour of one of the properties we previously saw in person. We were apprehensive of the remote process but Brian was always available by text or phone for questions and made the entire process extremely smooth. We highly recommend Brian if your looking for a home and so glad we walked into Lake Life Realty!

I loved my experience with Lake Life and with my awesome realtor Tammy! She responded quickly to my calls and texts and requests from the very beginning of the search for my perfect home until I found it. She helped me move quickly on the offer and was there every step of the way with a smile on top of it all! I recommend her highly!

Our house selling/finding journey was a long one, with many fits and starts on our end, but Laurie hung in there with us through it all! She was enthusiastic and positive throughout, and this helped us stay optimistic while navigating life. Laurie was always personally concerned and interested in what we wanted and how best to find a house that would match our needs. We consider her a friend, and we can happily recommend her to anyone!

Brian was so incredibly helpful and supportive. My husband and I were nervous first-time home buyers and Brian took our nervousness and turned it into stress-free excitement! He made the process FUN and laidback, while also maintaining professionalism and honesty. He wasn’t pushy at all and by the end of the process, felt like a new best friend! He went above and beyond and we HIGHLY recommend his stellar services!

Our real estate representative, Rob Bradley, went above and beyond helping us sell our home and finding a new home. Things were tough and go with the completion of the new build. Rob acted as our voice in all areas of us getting what we asked for and what was told to us. Rob Bradly is definitely someone you want to represent you - either finding a new home or selling your current home. Thanks again Rob for the outstanding job - and for making sure others went through with their promises.

Our Realtor is the best Realtor we have ever worked with in our 28 moves and 40 years of marriage. He listened to our needs and only showed homes that met our goals. His integrity and professionalism shone through his guidance and advice. He was available working hard for the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. I have never had a better advocate for our needs than Rob Bradley. I highly recommend him to all home sellers and buyers. He gets results and is on our side. He is what every Realtor should be.

Tammy was AMAZING! From day one she went beyond what we were expecting. She helped us look at houses while we were in a different state. And then once we had moved into temp housing she worked around our schedule and helped us find our house. She made the job of finding a house for first time home buyers who were new to the area so simple. The honesty and hard work she showed was refreshing. I'm so glad we went with Lake Life Realty!

Rob exemplifies the best. He was able to find the perfect fit for us on Lake Keowee. Our list was long - and it changed a time or two. His patience and responsiveness was remarkable. He continues to work with us to this day...making sure we have the information we need, preparing us to build a house and dock. He has contacts in almost every realm in the process to live life on the lake!

Rob helped us in a complex non-standard purchase on a lakefront property. He readily understood what we were trying to accomplish as investors. Just as important, as our Buyer Agent, he was able to communicate to the Seller's Agent and facilitate a smooth transaction. Rob is extremely connected and informed as to the "goings on" in the area. Thanks, Rob, for your professionalism!

Tammy helped make our plan of owning a lake house for our kids a reality. Our search lasted over two years to find the perfect spot and Tammy was always very responsive and helpful with getting answers to questions we had, looking at properties for us, and showing us the ones that were contenders. The process was easy and throughout the process she was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Tammy to anyone looking for a place on the lake.

Tammy was a joy to work with. I highly recommend her! She was so gracious and showed us several houses in our price range when we blew into town for a quick look at properties on Lake Keowee.

Tammy was a true joy to work with and bore with us through many months of multiple home and property tours before we finally landed on our dream home. I can’t say enough about her patience, positive spirit, and hard work to get us over the finish line when the other party’s agent couldn’t be bothered. At closing, even the other party said they wished they could pay her a commission rather than their own agent! I highly recommend Tammy!

Rob Bradley was the best realtor we could have ever asked for. Our house burned down in Massachusetts and we had asked Rob to help us to relocate to South Carolina. He went above and beyond the call of duty to help us find our perfect home. He set up tours of houses to show us and kept working with us until we found a house to call home. I would and already have recommended him to friends. This man was a blessing to our family. Truly the best gentlemen and realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

I wanted to share our experience with Tammy from Lake Life Realty.
We're from Michigan and found the Lake Keowee area by accident and immediately fell in love with the area. Sue made contact with Tammy. In relative short order, she was able to show us several options for home and vacant property. we made a couple more trips and ultimately bought a beautiful lake lot that we hope to build on. Prior to closing, we were trying to confirm the septic tank validation process which included permitting, taping off the property lines on a very steep grade and the identify a requested tank location. We were in Michigan with no way of pulling this off in time. On an early Sunday morning, Tami and her husband went and took care of it! She then led us through closing process and continued to offer help in so many "non-real estate" things. Not only did we find a great realtor, but we also found a new friend.
