John Smith | Spartanburg, SC

It was a pleasure to work with Lewis. We had the builder who was unwilling to fix a problem at the house we were purchasing and Lewis advocated for us and got the problem rectified.

Tyler Hinckley | Spartanburg, SC

What a wonderful experience we had with the W Lewis White Company in selling our home in Spartanburg. Their professional expertise and advice were only exceeded by their warm personal guidance. They far exceeded our expectations before, during, and after the sell. We were out of town at the time of our closing and Lewis’ guidance made that transaction simple and straightforward. It is without hesitation, I would strongly recommend the W Lewis White Company for any real estate transaction in the upstate.

Thank you so very much for all of the effort put in to making the sale of 7 Woodburn Ridge Road so easy for us. Selling a home is always bittersweet, but we could not have asked for a better experience this January & February. This is our fourth real estate transaction managed by W Lewis White Realty, and we could not have asked for a greater experience. Your company went above and beyond to help both the seller and buyer in this most recent transaction. The value of the homes you have now represented for us has spanned over $1,000,000 and we have witnessed you treat every dealing with the same attention to detail and respect regardless of value. We appreciate the efforts of your team and the relationships you have built with attorneys and vendors to make home selling and purchasing so effortless!

Jeff McCabe | Spartanburg, SC

My husband, our son and I recently relocated to the Spartanburg area and we used W. Lewis White Co. to find our new home. We were highly pleased with every aspect of their service, from the warm and inviting atmosphere in the office to the very professional manner of caring for our needs in relocating. We were given detailed and useful information regarding businesses and schools in the area to help with our transition. Everyone we had contact with in the W. Lewis White Co. made us feel we were a priority to them and helped to resolve any concerns we may have encountered. It was a pleasant and successful relocation. Thank you to your great team at W. Lewis White Company for all your heartfelt efforts!

Lynne Tritapoe | Spartanburg, SC

Jeanne Thompson is a complete and dedicated professional agent. Her service to our family was top shelf, and she went the extra mile through every stage of the process, from search to closing. Her experience enabled her to offer sound and timely advice, and her deep understanding of the market ensured we met our goals with an exceptional property. We highly recommend her services based on her proven skill, determination, and diligence. Finally, she was a pleasure to work with, and her genuine, down to earth demeanor contributed greatly to a smooth process and successful outcome.

William Ball

Within a two month span I worked with Lewis on selling a house and buying a house. On both occasions his professionalism and knowledge of the area was an obvious asset. With his contacts, we were able to sell our home quickly and with his direction we found our perfect new home. Thanks Lewis!

Kyle Boyles | Spartanburg, SC

Joseph Colquitt at W. Lewis White assisted me with purchasing my first home. He was amazing. I will admit I was very nervous when I decided to purchase my first home. I was not sure what to expect and was overwhelmed with all the things that come with buying a home. I lucked up and found Joe. He went above and beyond assisting me throughout the WHOLE process. He answered questions that I did not even ask. He made sure I understood every aspect of every step in purchasing a home. He was patient and very knowledgeable. I will and have already recommended him to many of my co-workers. Joe, you sir exceeded all expectations that I had and some! Thank you for being the Best Realtor EVER!

Sierra Lighty | Spartanburg, SC

Mr. White is an outstanding realtor. With superior knowledge of Spartanburg and real estate, Mr. White is the best in the business. Mr. White and his staff are prompt, responsive, honest, and professional. From start to finish, the W. Lewis White Company team made buying my first home an exciting and manageable process. I could not have asked for a better experience and would recommend Mr. White to anyone looking to purchase a home in the area.

Cameron Gaubert - Spartanburg, SC

Claude did an absolutely excellent job! To get to closing was a bumpy road, but Claude was always and immediately there to help. We would definitely recommend working with him to anyone who needs a great agent.

Franziska Basalone & Ilker Guner

Jeanne was there for me the whole time. This was my first home buying experience and she made it so easy by keeping me in the circle and explaining the process so that there were no surprises.

Valarie | Spartanburg, SC

Really enjoyed working with Lewis. Incredibly knowledgeable about market and neighborhoods, great insight on value for money. Best of all friendly, patient and thoughtful, even when we were very indecisive. Highly recommend Lewis for any real estate need.

Ricky Richardson | Spartanburg, SC

When we decided to put our home of 27 years on the market for sale, we were faced with the challenging task of finding a realtor in whom we could put our trust to properly value the house, market the house, find qualified buyers and ensure the closing would go smoothly.
We interviewed three different realtors before deciding to list the home with W. Lewis White Company. Lewis was the only one of the three who, at our initial meeting, came having already done research into comparable homes selling in our area. He presented documentation on how many other homes are available in the same price range and square footage and how long they are typically on the market before selling.
Lewis showed us the various media in which he markets the homes he lists and said he would be able to provide us with feedback from buyers after each showing.
Most likely, every Realtor has the same resources, but as we stated, Lewis was the only Realtor who came prepared and explained all of this to us.
The home was shown multiple times, several offers were made, and it ultimately sold for the asking price. Throughout the process, Lewis and his assistant Deanna kept us informed and advised us on our next steps.
In short, we couldn’t have found anyone better than Lewis White to represent our home. We’ve already told many of our friends and family how pleased we were. If we had to go through this a hundred times, we would choose Lewis each time. His integrity, determination, knowledge and dedication is unsurpassed.

Penny & Nancy Hodges | Spartanburg, SC

Lewis is the most knowledgeable and skilled realtor we have ever worked with. After a 1 hour meeting he ascertained the type of home we were looking for and presented excellent choices in a limited inventory market! We found the perfect home and he negotiated a good price. Then he made sure everything stayed on track for our closing date! I highly recommend Lewis for any real estate need!

Bill Hulette | Spartanburg, SC

Lewis, and his staff, did a terrific job with our recent home purchase. He was very professional, timely and showed genuine concern with finding us the right fit. He was always available for our questions and made what could have been a very stressful process for my husband and I, much easier. He was also very helpful and involved with any questions we had after the sale. He exceeded our expectations, and I would, and have, recommended him to others looking for a new residence.

Elizabeth Colquitt | Spartanburg, SC

We worked with Jeanne Thompson in selling our current home and buying the home that we'd move to. The best decision we made in both situations was asking Jeanne for help. Her attention to details, coupled with her knowledge of the Upstate area and willingness to get to know our family's needs made the process of buying and selling as pleasant as possible. We were pretty inexperienced buyer/seller and Jeanne knew exactly how to help when we were unsure, uneasy and treading in waters unfamiliar. If we were going to buy or sell another home, we would without any hesitation ask Jeanne for her help. We would recommend her to anyone that is looking for assistance in the real estate market.

Paul | Spartanburg, SC

Lewis White was the most knowledgeable realtor we interviewed before listing our mid- century modern home on Ivy Street. Lewis is very familiar with the Spartanburg market. He was very helpful in establishing our sale price and expectations. We are extremely happy we listed with Lewis. We had five showings within the first week. Lewis brought us an acceptable offer within a few days of our initial showings.
Lewis guided us through the contract, inspection stages, negotiation and a successful closing. Lewis was able to work with all parties to enable us to close on this sale and then close in Charleston on our new house the same day !
My wife and I highly recommend W Lewis White Company Inc.

Gene Kendrick | Spartanburg. SC

Jeanne was very responsive to all of our questions, she responded in a short time to all my questions and worries. We were in a time crunch and she managed to get all the needed information to where it needed to be so we could close on time. Jeanne knows the market and all the aspects of buying a home.

Judy | Lyman, SC

I would definitely recommend Claude Saleeby of W. Lewis White Company. He helped us sell our parents' home in Spartanburg. Because we do not live in Spartanburg, Claude had to deal with many details and act on our behalf. He always stayed on top of the details, kept us informed, and went the extra mile to make our experience as smooth as possible.

Sue C. | Columbia, SC

I had a wonderful experience with Lewis and highly recommend him. My advice is to do as he recommends because he is a true professional and knows exactly what to do.

Jane Grimm | Spartanburg, SC

You bet I recommend Lewis White & Co...they sold my husband and me our first home here in Spartanburg on Fernbrook Circle...then the downsize home on Twin Drive. We could not say more great things about Lewis' service to his customers.

Jo-Ellen De Luca | Spartanburg, SC

I began working with Claude Saleeby several years ago. He was extremely patient with me, and when I decided that I was unable to sell my home at that time, he said he would be waiting when I was ready. We stayed in touch and watched the market in the Spartanburg area. When it came time to sell, I had no doubt who I was going to call, and it was Claude Saleeby. He welcomed me back like an old friend. He was very thorough in explaining everything I needed to know to get the most value out of my home. The home went on the market and sold very quickly. Throughout the process, Claude exhibited that same patience he had from the beginning. He has a calming presence that put my nerves at ease. The buyer came back with a small punch list of items that needed to be done, and Claude was able to assist in getting everything taken care of at a very reasonable cost. Claude has experience, knowledge and a gentle way about him that made the sale seem so easy. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy Realtor, who will get the job done. My praises could go on, and I feel incredibly blessed to have had Claude to depend on. Look no further, Claude Saleeby is the best.

Kelly Kerr Hayes

We had such a good experience buying our house from Lewis. The first day of looking for a home resulted in the perfect house in the perfect location for us. Lewis was so professional and kind before buying the house. Also so helpful during the sale and took care of everything after the sale. He is very knowledgeable in every aspect of real estate and we would recommend W. Lewis White Realty to anyone buying or selling. Lewis is such a wonderful person and goes above and beyond helping this being non-stressful and easy experience.

Jane & Jim Billingsley | Spartanburg, SC

Let me begin by saying that buying my first home was very stressful for me. Jeanne suggested loan approval prior to looking at any properties. After looking at several places, I found the home I wanted to purchase. Jeanne walked me through the entire process step-by-step; from making the offer, home inspeciton and the counter offers making sure I got the very best deal possible. She took the time to explain the paperwork used during the closing and made sure I understood what I was signing. Jeanne made my home buying experience easier by being there each step of the way. I would recommend Jeanne to anyone looking to either buy or sell their home. She knows the real estate market and I will use her again when I sell my home.

Kerry | Spartanburg, SC

I can’t adequately express my praise and gratitude for [Claude's] ongoing help and friendship. . . I have the highest regard for your professionalism, and your core values in life, faith and family. . . when I hear of folks pondering a move, I always recommend that they call you first. . .Your kind words and thoughtfulness will go a long way with me. I think we found the perfect house for me, and the few hours I’ve spent there since yesterday have reinforced that feeling. Wouldn’t have happened without your patient and conscientious help. Many thanks.

P. Moore - Spartanburg

Lewis White has been invaluable over the last few years in exploring several options of reducing our household, eventually selling our house on Montgomery Circle. Whether it is advice of relocating into a smaller house or moving to a Retirement Community, his tireless efforts in finding an acceptable solution have been outstanding. Once our house went on the market, he found a very qualified buyer. His attention to details, his knowledge of legal procedures and his courtesy were second to none. Not only is Lewis White one of the most successful realtors, his integrity and friendship are the best.

Markus Bolliger

Claude Saleeby was our realtor selling our home of 18 years at 1008 Oak Creek Drive in Spartanburg! Claude visited us in our home several months before we put our home on the market and helped us see what needed to be done to prepare our home for the real estate market. Claude did a wonderful job of helping us navigate putting a home that is filled with memories on the market. Claude helped us view our home through the eyes of a family looking to purchase a home and build their own memories in a special place. Claude's gentle insights into our home all proved to be true. Decorating a home to our tastes does not always sell a home. Thank you for your advice on that Claude.

Claude was also very courteous in scheduling showings. He would always give us plenty of advance notice and was more than willing to accommodate our schedules. Claude offered several times to open our home, turn on lights, and prepare our house for the showing.

Claude was at our closing continuing to make sure that the process ran smoothly and that we didn't have any questions or concerns. The reassure that his presence offered was very much appreciated!

Claude Saleeby was a pleasure to work with and so encouraging and upbeat in our process. I have and I will continue to recommend Claude Saleeby as a realtor!

Jane Petersen | Spartanburg, SC

The W. Lewis White Company is the definition of professionalism. If you are looking for Realtors you can trust and who have your best interest in mind, then look no further...

C. Daily - Spartanburg

Lewis was exceptional and I would highly recommend him to my friends and family! Lewis worked hard to get us in a “home” that was right for us and has also gone above and beyond to make us feel at home in Spartanburg. Lewis is professional, yet personable and exceeded our expections.

Jessica Hackney

Mr Lewis White offers a superior experience throughout the home search and purchasing process! Absolutely recommend Lewis and his realty firm for all your realty needs in and around the Spartanburg, SC area!

Jeff Tritapoe | Spartanburg, SC

My wife and I "owned" a house in Spartanburg SC. After we moved to California we had initially rented the property. The tenants that occupied it became interested in purchasing it. Our concern was that we would get a fair price. The tenants employed the services of one Claude A. Saleeby at this realty agency. I also engaged his services as our agent to help ensure he was ethically obligated as a dual agent for our interests as well. Long story short everything went so smoothly we didn't even have to go to SC for the closing. Claude was a true professional during the entire process and we would use him again if the opportunity ever arrises. If you want a smooth purchasing or selling process use Claude.

Thanks again for the easiest, smoothest, and friendliest home sale transaction ever!

Mitch M.

We have used Jeanne on 3 of our home purchases, and will never use any other Realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area, professional and never hesitates to humor any request - no matter how foolish it may sound. She listens to your wants and needs, doesn't push you towards one home or another, but, somehow, always seems to know what is right for yur family - even before you do. Her patience with us during all of our home buying experiences was incredible; our kids still rave about Miss Jeanne and always want to stop by and see her! She is a true gem and we send anyong looking to buy or sell a home in this area her way.

Allison | Inman, SC

We had the privilege of dealing with Mr. White from the time we were first looking for a rental prior to our move to Spartanburg to the time we sold the house that he found for us, approximately 2-3/4 years later. . . I don't know anyone in Spartanburg that understands the real estate market better than Lewis and and I don't know anyone that has a sincere and personal connection with more people in Spartanburg than Lewis. We enjoyed every minute of our relationship and would highly recommend him and his company's services to anyone.

M. Posey & S. Santana | Spartanburg, SC

When making an important decision about buying or selling a home, it’s essential to make contact with an agent who has multiple talents and skills. There are far too many people in every field who look for a career with hopes of high income, easy hours, and social prominence. In real estate, especially, there are numerous agents whose concept of the profession is almost entirely a series of accompanying prospective buyers to properties, hoping for a sale and a commission check. They may have very limited knowledge of critical information -- quality of construction, costs of utilities and maintenance, history of the building, access to schools and businesses, and other relevant items. I selected Claude Saleeby as an agent to represent both the sale of my house, and the purchase of my new home, for several reasons: he has a long history of success in business, military, and community service; he approaches his work with intelligence and experience, and his goals have less to do with income than with making certain that decisions are consistent with the consumer’s needs, wants, and resources. He provides a detailed study of properties, based on much more than curb appeal and first impressions: he makes certain that he and the prospective buyer are informed about what’s “under the hood”….the often overlooked items that are significant in making a wise decision…the property taxes, the type and quality of heating and cooling systems, the condition of plumbing and electrical functions, the age and caliber of roofing, flooring, grounds, and past repairs. In my relationship with Claude, he often guided me AWAY from certain properties, based on his detailed research, rather than proceeding toward a sale that would have been a costly, unhappy mistake.
In selling my previous home, he made certain that the property was in excellent condition for a buyer, and he arranged for repairs and improvements to be done in a timely and professional manner. It was important to him that I, in purchasing my new home, and the buyer of my former home, were knowledgeable and pleased with our transactions. The final proceedings were the result of numerous visits, calls, inspections, and conversations on his part, and he does all of this with gentlemanly, courteous demeanor. I recommend him to all of my colleagues who express interest in buying or selling a property, since I know that they will be treated with great respect and will not be pressured or manipulated. In every case, they’ve called to thank me, and have been relieved and grateful that they were not faced with a barrage of calls or appointments or showings of houses that were clearly not consistent with their needs. His work is more of a mission than a job, and his success is based on his own drive to assist others in making honest, wise decisions on quality of life. He has earned implicit trust from all with whom he deals.

Peter Moore | Spartanburg, SC

Lewis is the best in the business. If you want someone who is well established in the community and who will be honest and straight forward with you, look no further. We appreciate everything Lewis did for us in helping us find an amazing home, and I am absolutely positive your experience with him will be the same.
