REALTOR licensed in South Carolina.

Why did you decide to become a REALTOR?
Growing up in Spartanburg, I have always loved my hometown. I grew up in Converse Heights, met my wife Meghan in 5 th grade at Pine Street School, graduated from Spartanburg Day School and Wofford College. After spending five years as an educator in district 7 at McCracken Middle School, I was called to serve my community in a different way. Helping people with one of the biggest decisions of their lifetime in purchasing a home is an honor. I love getting to know so many of the amazing people that live in our community.

What types of approaches will you use to sell my home and/or find me a home? 
I truly believe there is no substitute for hard work. Whether it is using many of connections in our community or many of the resources we have at our disposal to help a buyer find the right home for them in addition to helping sellers market their property.

How will you keep me informed? 
Communication is an essential skill in any business, but especially the real estate business. I always strive to be available to clients and quick to respond. I am always looking on our listing services to see what properties have become available that might be suitable for a client.

Describe a typical day as a Realtor Monday through Friday:
I am constantly searching our listing services for properties that might fit a client’s needs. If I am preparing for a showing, I will spend time studying the property and the area it is located in. Preparing to list a property includes getting pictures taken, seeing comparable properties in the area have sold for, and making sure all related documents are ready to be included in the listing. As a buyer’s agent I am constantly using our online resources and connections to find the appropriate home for my clients. Before any showing I will studying the listing and property disclosure in order to be fully prepared. I also like to stay informed on what is going on in the world through various publications to stay on top on current trends not only in real estate but in business in general.

"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."

"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!
