Review for Member: Bruce May
ZillowVERIFIEDBruce was an exceptional real estate agent for us in every way you can imagine. He has lived at the lake for many decades and his connections are unmatchable. He has a very professional reputation in the area for being trustworthy and knowledgeable. He and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with and always made themselves available. He also has an amazing staff--Laurie was responsive , prompt and on top of everything for us in regards to our transaction. They were also both incredibly patient with us as we went through multiple contracts before finally closing on our dream property. I have no doubt that if it wasn't for Bruce's reputation and connections, we wouldn't have been able to obtain the property we did. Bruce has knowledge about so many aspects of the area and we always felt that he was honest with us and that we were in really good hands. He went above and beyond trying to help us with matters that really had nothing to do with the transaction, so Bruce understands how to add value to his relationships above and beyond the service he offers. We couldn't speak highly enough of Bruce and think anyone who works with him and his staff would be blessed!

ZillowVERIFIED Bruce is an expert on the Lake Keowee market from both a historical market and current market perspective. Bruce provided us valuable advice during our sale process to help us make the right decisions. Bruce listens to all parties involved in the sale to determine objectives and move the transaction along has quickly as possible. We would highly recommend Bruce to represent as a Buyer or Seller.

ZillowVERIFIED Bruce has a tremendous amount of expertise on lake properties...our experience with him was on Keowee. His connections at Keowee paid off for us incredibly well. He knows the lake. He knows people on the lake. He knows the recipe for putting a property with an owner. He was eager to put us in touch with reliable folks to help with the transition to ownership in a new town. He was truly focused on what we wanted. He found a gem for us and we could not be happier. It was a smooth, easy transaction in a market where chaos and pandemonium seem to be the norm. We were grateful to have his insight finding us the right place. I have not worked with a realtor that I would recommend any more enthusiastically than Bruce. Go ahead and give him a call!

ZillowVERIFIED I worked with Bruce on a lot purchase. Sadly the buyer and seller could not come to a common meeting place but I still highly recommend Bruce. He is one of the best realtors I have worked with in my 35 year plus in real estate.

ZillowVERIFIED 2020 marks the 5th time within the past 8 years I have worked with Bruce May and Jocassee Real Estate. (Buying and selling a lakefront home on Lake Keowee; buying and selling a lot in Keowee Key; and buying and most recently selling a second lakefront home on Lake Keowee.) Experiencing a divorce which entails selling your family home as part of the financial settlement agreement is especially challenging, AND yet THANKFULLY Bruce and his kind and professional staff supported me through every step of the process. Bruces relational skills are the strongest I have personally experienced. Match this attribute with his business acumen, efficient use of time and prompt/clear communication . . . with all this occurring during the early months of COVID-19 . . . What can I say? In my history of buying and selling homes for the part 38 years, Bruce May has been the best realtor I have had the pleasure to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Bruce is hands down the best of the best. We had a dream with little familiarity of the Lake Keowee area and Bruce filled the voids with common sense ideas that met or exceeded our goals while keeping us within reach of our initial budget. His local knowledge of the area along with the rare ability to not only present options but to view them as if he is part of your family is something you have to experience to understand. The professional connections with all pieces of the buying and building process is an invaluable combination that made the experience a pleasure and stress-free. I can't imagine this journey without the guidance and patience of Bruce and Laurie Beth

ZillowVERIFIED Bruce provided very good advice helping me to sell property that was listed for several years. He was trustworthy and made me truly feel like we were in it together. He was always prompt in responding to my calls which was especially important since I lived in another State.

ZillowVERIFIED It's very rare indeed to find an agent who you just know wants you on the right property, in the right home and in exactly the right setting. Bruce is that agent. From our first meeting we felt that our business was truly appreciated and our ultimate satisfaction Bruce's goal. Patience, understanding, abundant local knowledge and sincerity are all traits Bruce displayed throughout our entire property purchase. He found us our dream property......And had as much fun as we did doing it! Thanks Bruce!!

ZillowVERIFIED Bruce is simply the best! We listed our lake house with Bruce and we ultimately had two offers in one week. We appreciated his professionalism, integrity, and knowledgeable/hands-on dedication. He has nurtured both regional and national relationships with clients and realtors. Bruce was a master at the most challenging aspect of the process; the negotiation. In our opinion he is the consummate realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED We were blessed to be introduced to Bruce by a good friend, even before we had made a final decision to move to Seneca. He was a pleasure to work with, extremely knowledgeable of the area, and very patient as it took us several months to sell our house and relocate here. He stuck with us and is not only a great realtor, but a good man, and now a good friend. We have already recommended Bruce to a new neighbor, and will gladly recommend him should any opportunities arise.

ZillowVERIFIED Bruce has helped us buy and sell multiple lots and 2 homes and has always worked hard for us. I have and will continue to recommend him to friends. His knowledge of real estate on Lake Keowee is second to none.

ZillowVERIFIED It must be good karma that led us to Bruce May and Jocassee Real Estate! After a frustrating year looking for property in NC, TN & TX, we came to Lake Keowee with nothing but a recommendation to check it out. Google connected us with Bruce and we are so lucky. With Bruce's deep knowledge of the area, generous time and patience, and sharp instinct for what we were seeking; we quickly zeroed in on the perfect home for our family. And Bruce and his staff must be dialed-in with everyone in the Upstate since we didn't have a single hassle getting inspected, closed and settled exactly as we planned. We're not sure what we did to deserve such a great experience; but Bruce and team deserve our greatest gratitude.

ZillowVERIFIED Bruce is a great realtor! We have worked with him on both the selling and buying side and he is a tremendous asset to both. Bruce initially helped us sell our lake home on the north end of Lake Keowee. We ended up with a beautiful listing that had professional quality photos and an unbelievable drone video. We asked top dollar and received it. Bruce handled the negotiations well.We also looked for homes with Bruce. He was very patient with us and was always great with our younger children as well, keeping them engaged as we looked at many homes. We highly recommend Bruce!

ZillowVERIFIED We have bought and sold several different properties in different parts of the country and working with Bruce was the best real estate experience we have had in over 30 years. He has an outstanding knowledge of market trends and available inventory. He got a feel for our tastes and wants very early in the process and was able to eliminate wasted time by showing us homes that fit our needs and budget. There is no question in my mind that my family's happiness and satisfaction with our purchase was extremely important to Bruce! His elite level of service and responsiveness was the same before, during and AFTER the actual purchase. I highly recommend Bruce May!

ZillowVERIFIED Bruce provided great insight and help in getting us through our lot transaction. He has been the most thorough and "plugged-in" real estate professional that we have ever worked with. We appreciated all the time he spent with us. Working with him was a real pleasure.

ZillowVERIFIED Bruce May is the gold standard in the Lake Keowee and Lake Jocassee area. He is passionate about the Upstate area, possesses comprehensive knowledge about all of the developments and the full range of properties available, and most importantly is totally committed to meeting the needs of his clients. He spent an incredible amount of time getting to know our family and our needs, provided us with an expansive overview of the area developments and types of properties, and then showed us potential properties specifically tailored to our needs. Bruce patiently helped us work our way through each step - never once making us feel pressured to make a decision - all the while only being concerned with helping us find the property that was perfect for us. Bruce is a rarity in a world of "high pressure" real estate agents - he is a passionate, professional and caring agent committed to doing whatever it takes - for however long it takes - to meet the needs of his clients. Bruce May is simply the best and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for real estate in the Upstate South Carolina area.
