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.

Buying and selling a home for the first time can be an extremely stressful situation, but their team really made it as stress-free as possible. I couldn't have been more pleased.

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.

This is specific to a broker at Clardy, Steven Foley who I had the displeasure of dealing with as a…read morerental property manager (Folkstone) in Seneca. I cannot speak to how he conducts himself as a sales broker, and maybe Clardy is not aware of the type of person they have working for them, but I hope my recent experience gives you insight into the type of man that Clardy has in their employ. Steven returned my security deposit from a lease I terminated, 30 days after termination, with several hundred dollars deducted and no itemization for those deductions. This is against the law in South Carolina, When called and informed that he had broken the law and needed to return our money, this man claimed he was being harassed and to leave him alone. I said he could return the money or get sued. He said PLEASE SUE ME. That he has a lawyer and would never see the inside of a courthouse anyhow so BRING IT. I said I would and hung up. Minutes later I get a text - Hey! Can we talk and resolve this? I really just needed some time to review the information! Clearly this man knew he was about to lose at least triple the amount he withheld and was doing damage control. AFTER TELLING ME TO PLEASE SUE HIM! I said he could Venmo or wire me the money that day or he would indeed be sued. No convo required. And lo and behold he returned the money, but not before sharing an "invoice" for the deductions he "decided to overlook upon review." $250.00 for paint touch ups - we had already done that before moving out. And $150.00 for burnt out lightbulbs (normal wear and tear landlords have to cover), replacing.a bathtub drain plug (that was already broken when we moved in), and a new air filter (that was replaced when we moved out and also wear and tear). But look at those dollar amounts!!! So even the bill was fraudulent. Again, never worked with him as a broker. But He is clearly lacking in ethics and is a nightmare of a human being to deal with. People are rarely unethical and engaged in criminal behavior in one area of their life or profession and then are wonderful human beings in another. Engage with him at your own risk.

I met her at an open house and after a couple of calls we headed out to see properties. I was relocating to Anderson from Chicago and had loads of questions but never did I feel rushed or as if I was pestering her. She made herself very available and worked around my schedule. We were under contract 3x in total (a couple of tricky inspections) and while she didn't tell me what decisions to make, she insured I had all of the information to make the decision myself. AnnaKate also scheduled everything for me- home inspection, termite inspection, the works! I've never experienced that and it made the process so much easier as a working professional. If there was constructive feedback to give, I'd give it. But it's been a delight, from the open house to closing.
