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!

This review is related to Bob Hill Realty, Seneca, SC, Bob Hill, owner and Mike Hill, Associate…read moreBroker, Realtor and Property Manager. My husband and I relocated to SC from Ohio. Unfortunately, we were unable to come to SC to look at the property prior to our arrival. We thought we were renting a nice home in a gated community. We were soon disenchanted upon our arrival. After working 6 weeks with licensed agent and property manager, Mike Hill, whom we trusted to be a professional honest realtor, we believed the listing information, electronic media, photos and phone information provided by Mike Hill were current, accurate, and a true representation of the property. We also trusted that he was looking out for our best interest and that he was not misleading us since we established a working relationship. Upon our arrival to the property, we quickly learned Mike Hill was deceitful, dishonest and untrustworthy in his transaction with us. He misrepresented the real condition of the property and made us believe the property was in turnkey condition and furnished as promised. Mike Hill concealed pertinent facts relating to the property such as potentially fatal and health hazardous black mold which made it uninhabitable, especially for my husband who has a lung condition. There were potential health risks from rodent feces, active roaches and ants, leaking water from the fireplace, slow drains and a running toilet. There was also a fire hazard which involved two doors that were difficult to open. Square footage and garage size were misrepresented. Mike did not make any initiative to remediate these hazards. The property was not cleaned, the carpet was disgustingly stained, the walls were filthy. I did file a complaint against Mike Hill with the South Carolina LLR and the SC Realtors, and he was found in violation at both hearings. Due to the character count for this review, I cannot add the violations in its entirety. Please go to the SC LLR Website under Real Estate Commission, then enter Mike Hills name and click on his license number to read the investigation and violations. South Carolina LLR: Mike Hill was found in violation of: substantial misrepresentation involving the real estate transaction. Mike Hill was found in violation of: pursued a continued and flagrant course of misrepresentation or made false or misleading promises through associated licensees or through any medium of advertising or otherwise. Mike Hill was found in violation guilty of: in the practice of real estate, demonstrated bad faith, dishonesty, untrustworthiness or incompetency in a manner as to endanger the interest of the public. The action is designed to protect the welfare of the people at large. Mike Hill was issued a public reprimand and fined $1500.00. South Carolina Realtors Violations: Mike Hill was found in violation of Articles 1,2,12 of the Code of Ethics. Mike Hill was issued a Letter of Reprimand, complete (2.5) two and a half hours of live classroom REALTOR ethics education and (4) four hours of live classroom education of any combination of the following course topics, agency, property management, contracts or disclosure and was fined. Upon completion of the SC LLR and SC Realtors hearings, I contacted Bob and Mike Hill by mail and phone in an attempt to recover my damages/expenses. I asked them both if they would do the moral and ethical thing and reimburse me some of the costs caused by Mike Hill's carelessness. They both refused. They kept $3522.68 of our money for only 4 days in the uninhabitable property. Failed to reimburse us $150.00 for a mold inspection which Mike Hill refused to order. Another $4135.86 in moving expenses to relocate to a habitable rental. Mike Hill cost us thousands of dollars and put us in a financial bind. I would like to be reimbursed for our costs that resulted from Mike Hills misconduct. I urge others not to do business with these unprofessional and misleading individuals.

On our first exploratory trip, every discovery was wonderful. We accidentally found ourselves in the original Cliffs Community, The Cliffs of Keowee, and we loved the feeling of enjoying both the mountains and this magnificent lake. As we continued down Hwy. 133, we ventured onto Pine Grove Road into a section that is now The Reserve @ Lake Keowee. At the time there were lots priced in the $60,000 range. Gorgeous, absolutely. It was another full year before we would return to Lake Keowee. We had a wonderful agent and bought our first waterfront lot in Wynward Pointe. We moved into our waterfront home in April 2000 and still love our home and our neighborhood. We purchased a property in Keowee Key because we enjoy the amenities, social opportunities, and the people. In 2004, after almost 30 years as a Georgia licensed CPA, Patti partnered with Michele Davies and become the team "Patti & Michele". We were the top team on Lake Keowee for a number of years.Gary Cason, a native South Carolinian, was raised in Atlanta Ga. and retired from a successful venture as a Snap on Tools franchisee. Gary entered the real estate arena in 2002 as a licensed home inspector and joined Patti and Michele's team in Sept. 2005. The two of us enjoy the best jobs on Lake Keowee. We assist in making dreams come true.

Cope Property Management managed our Lake Keowee property, a LLC controlled by three members, for…read moreabout ten years. While Cope Property Management founder, John Cope, who has a Business degree from Clemson University, originally managed it, we had no problems. However, things started to go downhill when John turned the control to the company over to his wife April on website is listes as "OWNER, BROKER IN CHARGE". After April (who also apparently goes by the pseudo name "Nikki", a lady never named nor pictured on Cope's website . . . more on this latter), took control, I have been locked out of my lake house without notice, four times in the past five years. Without notice to me, April Cope has had the keys changed to the main door twice (the house must be entered though two doors, 1. the patio door and 2. the house door). After I had tried the new key I was given on the patio door, I found that April had put a different lock on the second door! When I filed a second complaint, only then did April have their handyman change the lock on the inner door to match the key I was given to me for the outer door. Shortly after July 4th, 2021, my daughter (Kristy) called Cope Property Management, where Kathryn Powell, who works the front desk and has always been very cordial and helpful, told her that Nikki, who she identified as Cope's "Short Term Rental Agent", was the only one at the business who could block out the dates for the house on the rental computer. Kristen was then transferred to Nikki where Kristy identified herself as my daughter and made it clear she wanted to book the unrented house for the weekend of August 27-29 (She was going to have a group of 33 people at the house for one day (8-28). Kristy had catered a chef pulling a large gas grill driving from Greenville and invested in water equipment for a day of skiing. In all, she had invested close to $2,000.00 for this Saturday. Nikki told my daughter that she would book the house for her, block it off on their calendar. After checking Cope's public online booking calendar repeatedly over several weeks, Kristy noticed that Nikki never booked the house. I so called Nikki to find out what the problem was. Without any explanations as to why she never booked the house nor called my daughter back with an explanation, the dates suddenly appeared blocked off on their calendar. Finally, I thought we were all set for my daughter's big event; BIG MISTAKE!! When my daughter arrived on the morning of Saturday, the 28, she found that, without any notice and according to a witness, about four days prior to that Saturday, April Cope had their maintenance man again replace the key lock on the main house door, only this time with a keyless lock that only could be operated with either a finger print or a digital code without letting either me or my daughter know me the code. With these 33 people set to set to show up at 12:00 pm, my daughter was in a panic. After calling Cope's office in Seneca and getting no answer, I told my daughter how enter the house via the basement level which she did. However, opening the house door from the inside, she found that this digital lock couldn't be disabled with the door re-locking every time the door closed. Kristy, upset and angry, called me again. I drove over to the lake house, removed this digital lock and took it to Cope's Seneca office on Monday. I handed it to Kathryn and asked her what the code was? When she checked her computer, she said there was no code on file and she she knew nothing about this new digital lock being installed. I told her this was totally unacceptable! She said she would let Nikki know. On Thursday, Nov. 2, for the fourth time, Cope had their handyman installed a second digital lock, but this one could be also opened with a key. When I texted Nikki for a key, Nikki started texting me back, then suddenly it was April who responded telling me that Nikki had to quickly leave. April made it clear that I would not be getting a key, but like all Cope renters, I'd only be given a changeable code. When I demanded a key, April texted me back stating that she was only going to deal with one of the lake house members. When I told her that without a written contract, she had no legal authority to make this decision. April responded she had enough of, "this extra nonsense going on right now." and in two days, our lake house was removed from their website with the house being totally dropped when the last renter under Cope's contract left. Conclusion: Under April Cope, I encountered total confusion going on at this business. April Cope needs to understand basic business law and not make a verbal contact with only one property owner totally bypassing the other two. Moreover, be it John Cope or now April Cope, legally, all LLC members / owners of this lake house should have been given a copy of Cope Property Management's managing contract signed by all the owners with correct keys and kept up to date.
