Will you answer? Hopefully, everybody around Lake Keowee is getting their boats and Jet skis cleaned up and ready to hit the water. We had a couple of frosty mornings last week but the temps are starting to creep into the higher 70’s and will hit the 80’s by Sunday (even though it’s supposed to rain). You know what all of that sounds like to me? Time to get out on Lake Keowee and enjoy the spring/summer of 2022!

Man, business continues to be great! We’ve put a little over $1M in Lake Keowee waterfront lots under contract over the past week and are looking to close around $8.5M in Lake Keowee area homes and land over the next two weeks. We’re listing and selling them at a rapid pace and it’s been awesome but what we’re really missing to keep this train rolling is more inventory! If you see some, say so! To us… so we can sell it!

We’re sure you’ve thought about selling your Lake Keowee real estate and are curious to know what it might go for. We can answer the questions you need answered and help you to make the right decision. Give us a call at 864-270-9186 or email [email protected] or [email protected]. We’re here for you!

Tragedy inspires woman to start project to help emergency response on area lakes

Pickens County Emergency Services is piloting a new sign system to help boaters on Lake Keowee know where they are when they call 911. The more exact location will help emergency crews get to boaters in distress faster. Twenty signs were put up around Lake Keowee with identifiers for emergency crews — a “P” standing for Pickens County, a “K” for Lake Keowee and an identifying number. (Caleb Gilbert | The Journal)
