Ethan Churchill was our realtor and he was able to find us the perfect home based on our requirements. He then walked us through every step from finding the home, to negotiating the final sales price. He was also instrumental in advising us on all the items that needed to take place and set up all the appointments for inspectors and ensured things were moving along to maintain our closing date. Even after closing Ethan assisted in getting us into the home without a hitch. We are planning on using Ethan again to sell some additional property that we own. I would recommend Ethan for all your real estate needs! Francis & Lisa Cioffi - Keowee Key

My wife and I have been searching for potential retirement locals in the South. Having recently driven almost a thousand miles exploring all the major lakes in S.C., we settled on Seneca and Lake Keowee. Our friend in town recommended Ethan, who she has known since he was a child. Full disclosure, I feel I should mention that having bought and sold a number of properties, we inherently distrust, and generally dislike, real estate agents. We could tell right away that Ethan was not your run-of-mill real estate agent. Instead of the usual sedan and khaki slacks, he showed up in a monster truck, which he apparently enjoys customizing, and board shorts. It was clear that he wasn’t just selling real estate, but was selling a lifestyle. We were invited into the Tate office in Seneca and after some friendly jibing from his broker about driving the “small” truck to work, Ethan set about explaining the details of the four or five properties we were interested in. We were looking for a waterfront lot under $200K, a tall order. Ethan’s knowledge of the area was impressive. He grew up boating on the lake and had a job delivering truckloads of mulch as a teen, so he knows the land and water equally well. Being new to the area it was reassuring to have a true ‘local’ agent. We tailed Ethan’s truck, which wasn’t hard to follow, to the different properties. We ‘walked and talked’ each lot, and never felt like we were being rushed. It was clear to us that Ethan was interested in our likes and goals, and not just trying to sell us something. After a nice lunch at a restaurant of Ethan’s recommendation, we met him at at the launch ramp and boarded his center console boat. We were kind of surprised to find an agent that was willing to spend pretty much the whole day showing us around. Seeing the properties from the water was a whole different, and critical, perspective. Twenty six miles top to bottom with views of the Blue Ridge mountains and crystal clear water, Keowee is truly a gem of a lake. As it is the water source for the Duke Energy nuclear power plant the lake level stays consistent. Coming from Southern California the idea of cheap and abundant water and electricity was very appealing. We were sold on Keowee! We put in an offer on a 6.5 acre waterfront lot well within our price range. Since then Ethan has bent over backwards helping us deal, long distance, with the sale and various contingencies such as dock and septic permits. We highly recommend Ethan Churchill as a real estate agent that is trustworthy, and goes the extra mile.

Ethan's knowledge of the surrounding area of Lake Keowee has been very helpful in our process adjusting to the area. We highly recommend Ethan to handle your real estate needs.

We just completed a purchase at Lake Keowee after a long search of many properties. Ethan did a great job of going above and beyond to help us during the search and through a difficult closing process. His level of commitment to helping us was very much appreciated and made the process much less stressful.

We had an exceptional experience working with Ethan Churchill. After researching several different real estate agents in the Lake Keowee area, we contacted Ethan and let him know of our dream of owning a lakefront property. After listening to our criteria for a home, Ethan had us look at several properties in the area. We ended up selecting a home in Sunset, and couldn't be happier with our purchase. Throughout the process, Ethan was responsive, diligent, and extremely knowledgable of the Lake Keowee area. Ethan even came over to the house the day after the closing to help with us with some technical issues with our Internet to allow us to watch the Super Bowl! We would highly recommend Ethan to any buyers in the Lake Keowee area.

What can we say about Ethan . . . . well, . . . . . . his middle name should be AWESOME!!! He was able to market and get our two lots sold when we were told by others it couldn't be done. Ethan is a realtor with vision where others [realtors] wear bifocals!!

Five stars! I am a first time home buyer and I had no idea what I was doing when I got started. I had so much to learn but Ethan Churchill made the process so easy and honestly a lot of fun. Ethan is always ready to answer my questions and helped me find my perfect first home! He’s an awesome person to deal with and is extremely helpful in every way! We have looked at dozens of houses in the passed 6 months and he has done nothing but go above and beyond to help me learn and work with my busy business schedule. I recommend Ethan for any of your real estate needs no matter the circumstance! He’s one of the best! Thank you Ethan!

I got Ethan's help throughout the entire process of finding my first home and I'm greatly appreciative of everything he's done. Though I was picky, he stuck with me and we found a keeper.

Ethan is great! We found him via word of mouth referral. He's professional, courteous and responsive. Responsiveness is so important in our book. He's patient and bent over backwards to help us find the right property. It feels like we walked half of Oconee county. We didn't know exactly what were looking for and Ethan helped us evolve and sharpen our focus, and then helped us cull all the listings until we found the perfect property. We're closing this week. Thank you Ethan!

My wife and I were not from the area and were researching retirement options. Ethan was instrumental in "showing us the ropes" providing recommendation and advice on the area itself as well as options for assessing existing homes as well a property to build on. In the end we chose to purchase property to build our retirement home on. However, he didn't stop there - he was a tremendous asset in providing recommendations for potential builders as well as providing guidance in getting the property surveyed in preparation for starting our home. He still checks in and is always available to assist! I would highly recommend Ethan for your real estate needs!

Ethan was very professional and attentive to detail. My closing was extremely complicated and time sensitive. Somehow he got all the due diligence done before the closing date. I can not thank him enough. I wish I could use him for all my Realestate transactions!

5+ Star Service from Mr Churchill. I can “highly recommend” Ethan Churchill for he was very professional, a great communicator, quick follow up, great advice, and his overall knowledge of Oconee County was key to helping us find exactly what we wanted. He is also authorized to use me as a reference as well. Thank you 🙏

Ethan was very helpful from the beginning. Helping to find the right property that I wanted all the way down to closing on the property. Was very personable every step of the way! Couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Will suggest him to anyone I know that's in the process of buying a house!

We would highly recommend Ethan Churchill as the realtor you need if looking for a property on or anywhere near Lake Keowee! Because of Ethan, our friends found their dream house and we found out everything there is to know about the area. When we are ready to look, we will definitely call him! Ethan is so knowledgeable, professional, reliable, and we had such a fun time sharing this experience with him. You will love working with him too!

Ethan really takes the time to listen to what you’re looking for and will work hard to deliver. He has a keen eye for details that make all the difference in the houses he’s showing. I can not recommend him highly enough, he makes the entire process of buying a house an easy and enjoyable experience!

Working with Ethan has been a pleasure. Ethan is a great listener for what you are looking for in a home. He is very knowledgable about Lake Keowee. He has shown my wife and I a wide variety of lake front homes on Lake Keowee this past week. Ethan’s local knowledge and experience growing up on Lake Keowee is a tremendous asset. We are looking forward to finding and buying our dream retirement home on Lake Keowee with Ethan’s help.

Ethan is extremely knowledgeable and attentive. As a Lake Keowee native, he knows the whole area well as well as members of the community. He always goes out of his way to make sure you are satisfied and is responsive to requests or concerns. I would highly recommend working with him to purchase a new home!

Ethan is the embodiment of a hands on realtor. He is extremely attentive to details and placing clients with the perfect home. My experience was exemplary.

Tim Murphy

I have known Ethan for a number of years. He is a talented and gifted person, able to tackle any task with the determination to see it through to a successful completion. I have never seen him sit on the sideline and wonder what to do. He will research and investigate any situation fully until he knows the way forward. I recently sold my lake-access home directly to a neighbor/friend, but even though Ethan was receiving no compensation, he was helpful and diligent to make sure I was on the right path. I have known Ethan to “do the right thing” even if it wasn’t convenient. He is also fun to be around, enthusiastic and driven to succeed. Bottom line, I regard him to be a person of integrity and recommend him without reservation to anyone who inquires.

We would highly recommend Ethan Churchill as a realtor, especially if you are looking for a lake home in the Lake Keowee or Lake Hartwell area. We met Ethan when we stopped by a local office looking to learn more about the area and local lakes during a vacation visit. In less than 12 months, we found our dream vacation home and couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience and lake home purchase. Ethan is very knowledgeable about the lakes and listened to what we were looking for in a future home and ended up steering us toward Lake Keowee. He answered all our questions in a very timely manner and was patient with us given our interest was relatively casual initially. As our interest grew and Ethan helped us find home options on Keowee, we decided to take a trip back to Seneca and tour some of our options along with others that Ethan knew about that fit our criteria. Although, we did not find our home during that trip, Ethan’s assistance and advice solidified our interest and helped narrow down our criteria and lake location. A few weeks later, Ethan notified us of a new listing in the same cove that we fell in love with and the rest is history. His energy, professionalism and help throughout the entire process was fantastic. Given we were remote in MN and purchasing a home in SC, most of the process was via email, texting and phone conversations. Ethan was always available, and we felt like we really mattered and that we were always his priority. Should also note, that he has numerous contacts in the area that we have used for a variety of things, from house inspection, electrical work, to rental management recommendations. We consider Ethan a friend and look forward to re-connecting when we are visiting our lake house on Keowee. We will definitely use Ethan for future real-estate needs and have recommended him to multiple friends already.
