We had a highly stressful situation where we needed to sell our second home quickly. Grant and his team got us to the finish line. We couldn’t have done it without them!

Grant was amazing to work with while I was looking for an investment property in the Spartanburg area. He was a rock star about showing me multiple houses on multiple days. He was always organized, had all the info for the day printed, helped me evaluate the condition of the property knowing some of the hidden problems common to older homes in the area. We had fun looking and quickly found the right house for me. He has a great attitude, is disciplined, and knows the market. On previous investments I've worked with some nice, capable residential realtors, but they didn't understand residential investments the way I look at them. Grant got it - no extra explaining necessary. I'm sure he's great with non-investor buyers as well, and having grown up in the area has excellent local knowledge. Grant really went above and beyond on everything. The whole experience was much better than anticipated, and the next time I want to buy or sell in the area, he's my guy. I am not related to him and he did not pay me to say nice things, but when someone exceeds your expectations in business I think they should be recognized :)

I could not be more pleased with my decision to go with Grant. He was recommended to me by my financial advisor and I was not steered wrong in any way. When you read reviews about Grant's professionalism, it couldn't be more true. My lender said, 'Grant will fight for you' and boy did with the owner paying for a few things. He was nothing but patient and explained everything to me thoroughly. This was super helpful as a first time home owner. By the time I finished on closing day, I felt like Grant had become a friend. If I ever buy/sell again, I will absolutely go with Grant. I feel like he has become a friend. I highly recommend him.

Amy worked hard to get my dad’s house sold after he passed in May. She worked hard to get our tenants out after the house was sold. Took a few months but we finally closed. Amy and Grant will work their magic to make the sale.

I found Grant on Bigger Pockets and he was my agent to buy a house in Spartanburg. Yes, he was a great agent, lots of people are, but Grant is your ROCKSTAR. Grant grew up in the county and invests as well (STR, LTR, BRRR). Grant knows the history AND can evaluate it through an investor’s lens. He steered me away from an area and he was right. Grant pays attention to what is not yet on the market. With Grant, I got a pre-listed house at a great deal. Best of all, Grant will connect you with other Rockstars! Everyone I have used from Grant’s recommendations has been amazing - from HVAC to pest control. He even connected me with a better loan officer! You should get Grant on your team, but he better still take my calls. ;-)

I found Grant through Bigger Pockets when my family first started considering relocating from Michigan and looking for primary residences in upstate SC. He was super responsive right off the bat and had showings booked before we even made the drive down. In short order we were able to find a fantastic property for my parents to retire to and my wife and I found our first live-in fix and flip in SC. He even hooked us up with a fantastic contractor in the area to build our first ever new construction! Real estate is Grant's business, and he excels at it as both an agent and an investor. He knows the area and has a great network. But more importantly he's a genuinely good guy and will do his best to help where he can. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Grant to anyone new to the area, new to the business or interested in growing your portfolio.

I found Grant through the BP real estate agent finder and we went from first communication to closing on a property within 30 days. He was really fast sending me opportunities and lining up showings. It was very helpful having an agent who has rentals and has flipped properties because he helped me price out the numbers on fixing up certain parts of the house. Can't recommend him enough and will be working with him again soon on my next investment!

Grant is awesome! I had worked with another "investor-friendly" agent before Grant who did not cut it. I started working with Grant and he was on it! He is responsive and knowledgeable. He has a number of rentals himself and knows how much it costs to rehab properties. He knows the area which is super helpful because I am out of state. To top all that off, Grant is a super nice guy. I am definitely buying another house with Grant.

I cannot say enough good things about Grant and his team! When we met Grant, my wife and I were in a really tough spot and struggling to find a place that we could call home. Within just a few days, Grant had taken us on and scheduled a few homes for us to visit, one of which we just closed on this past Friday, a multifamily property that we couldn't be more excited about! He was a lifesaver for my wife and I and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did for us throughout this process. If not for him and his team, we would not be in the home/investment property we are today. If you are looking for a home, we couldn't think of anyone better to help you than Grant and his team. As we continue to grow our portfolio of investment properties, we will certainly continue to work with them and would recommend him to anyone.
