About-our-team
We are proud to say we are experts in all facets of the Real Estate business, whether it be navigating the way for first-time home buyers, helping a homeowner prep their property for sale, finding or marketing a luxury home. We help buyers and sellers in the Midlands and Upstate of South Carolina including Lake Murray, Lake Keowee, Lake Hartwell, Columbia, Greenville, Lexington, Anderson, Chapin, Irmo, Blythewood, Seneca, and Clemson, amongst others.
We are the number one listing and selling team in the entire Columbia area including Blythewood, Chapin, Columbia, Gilbert, Irmo, Lake Murray, Lexington, and West Columbia, and have been for years. Don't trust anyone else if they claim they are number one. That's simply spin and we'll show you the data to prove it.
There's a reason we are number one: We get RESULTS for our clients - we don't just list homes, we get them SOLD, and we get them sold for top dollar. For our buyer clients, we will search tirelessly until we find the best home for our clients and then help them negotiate the best price and terms of the sale! Thousands of five-star reviews posted on Zillow.com and Google by past clients confirm that!
We also pride ourselves on our commitment to customers and responsiveness to our client's needs. We answer the phone day and night, weekdays, and weekends. It doesn't matter. We love what we do so it doesn't even seem like work to us and while the average agent struggles to handle everything from marketing to paperwork and somehow find time for their clients, The Downing Group has the support staff to take much of those back-end details, so our agents can make their only priority catering to our clients real estate needs.
