ZillowVERIFIEDMelanie managed this Northerner like a skilled veteran. Lake knowledge, opinions, and patience. She was always ready to engage in a conversation, and she always knew her stuff. Buying on Lake Keowee from out of state takes time, and Melanie never once pushed us to move faster than we were ready to. We weren't after just land or a house. This is set up to be our forever home for retirement, and hopefully where our future grandkids will want to spend their summers. She knows the coves, the water depth, the dock potential, and the covenants subdivision by subdivision. We'd drive through neighborhoods and people would flag her down to say hello, folks she'd sold to years ago. She was always available, always honest, and she's helping us pick our builder next. More than a realtor, for sure. If you're buying on Lake Keowee, call Melanie.

ZillowVERIFIED When it came time to sell my parents' home in Keowee Key, my parents, my sister, and I carefully evaluated several realtors. Choosing Melanie Fink was one of the best decisions we made. My parents had already relocated out of state, and I served as the family's point person from across the country. Having one point of contact allowed my parents to focus on the next chapter of their lives and provided tremendous stress relief during an emotional transition. Melanie and I worked closely together, and she made us feel like someone local was looking after our family's best interests every step of the way. Melanie did far more than list the home. She coordinated contractors, repairs, inspections, lawn maintenance, deck power washing, deep cleaning, new carpet, and countless other details that kept everything moving. Her market expertise was equally impressiveaEUR"we received a full-price offer the very first day the home went on the market. Throughout the process, Melanie was patient, exceptionally responsive, and proactive. She took the time to answer our questions and guide us with confidence and care. Her follow-through was outstanding, and her calm professionalism kept everything on track through a smooth, on-time closing. After working with Melanie, it's easy to understand why she's so highly regarded in Keowee Key. She combines deep market knowledge with genuine care for her clients. I recommend her without hesitation.

She went above and beyond getting all the details arranged to make the sale as stressless as possible for us.

ZillowVERIFIED We were extremely satisfied with Melanie Fink. Her real estate knowledge and Lake Keowee property value knowledge and experience is amazing. We gave her a challenge to sell and close our home in 30 days and she did! She handled both the buy and sell side of the transaction. We were very impressed with her professionalism. We have sold many homes in our lives. This transaction was the largest and easiest. Melanie Fink is the go-to realtor it you are buying or selling property on Lake Keowee! Thanks Melanie. You are the best in the business.

ZillowVERIFIED Through our positions at our previous Homeowners Association, we have periodically worked with Melanie Fink over the last 15 years. She always showed great integrity and the buyers and sellers who used her services always had positive things to say about her. Due to our family growing, we began to think about possibly looking for a larger home or at least wanted to see what was out there. When Melanie opened the door to greet us at one of the first homes we wanted to see, we knew instantly we were a match. After actively searching for about 6 months, Melanie led us to the home that checked every box we hoped for. She then did everything possible to help us make that dream a reality. Her network of connections helped greatly with the entire process of purchasing the new home and selling our existing home. She and her staff are highly knowledgeable and very responsive. From the negotiations all the way to the final closing, acting as a dual agent on both transactions, Melanie has shown great patience, integrity, professionalism, and above all kindness and friendship. Now that we are moved in and settled, we look forward to seeing Melanie around town and to continuing to build that friendship.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie met all our needs, understood all our wants and communicated consistently and delivered multiple options until we found the perfect property. We worked with her for 1+ years to find the perfect lake property! Her experience and knowledge helped us prepare and stage our home for sale. The Keowee Key home sold in 5 days.

Review for Member: Melanie Fink
ZillowVERIFIED Our experience working with Melanie Fink during the sale of our home was disappointing. We did not feel that we were represented as well as we should have been. Throughout the process, it often seemed as though the buyers interests were prioritized over ours (the seller), which left us feeling unsupported during important moments. Additionally, the transaction became unnecessarily contentious. Rather than helping to ease tensions or advocate on our behalf, we felt that her approach contributed to the difficulty of the process instead of helping to resolve it. While the sale was ultimately completed, the overall experience was far more stressful than it needed to be.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie Fink is the most professional, informed realtor I've ever met. Having moved dozens of times, Melanie is by far the best. She knows her stuff! I cannot say enough positive things about Melanie Fink. If you need anything, Melanie knows who to call - her network is amazing. Her staff is excellent too. Follow up is never doubted, questions are always answered. And Melanie works hard for you with a positive attitude and a smile at all times. Melanie Fink is the ideal realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED We have known Melanie for almost 10 years and she has helped us purchase 2 different places on Lake Keowee. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable but also offers great feedback and advice throughout the entire process. She also has an extensive list of the top contractors in the area. I recommend Melanie for your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was terrific! She was super responsive, always returned my calls and emails, ... and never hesitated to follow up and prod those who needed prodding. She was a delight to work with and I look forward to working with her in the future. Melanie, represented me in the sale of a lake lot on lake Keowee that was part of a reverse exchange and was more complicated than normal. The stress and complexity of this transaction was exacerbated by the 180 day deadline that required everything to finished within two weeks of the closing. After the closing, the wiring of the funds did not take place as contractually specified and it put the reverse exchange in jeopardy. Melanie communicated with me on a daily basis, represented me to the buyers agent through emails, texts and phone calls - also on a daily basis, and even participated on conference calls with me and my reverse exchange consultants to strategize how we could push the deal over the finish line. IMO, Melanie went well beyond what was required on her part to help make sure my deal didn't fall through!

ZillowVERIFIED When we decided to move closer to our daughter, we contacted Melanie about being our buyer's agent for a home we were considering. She not only pointed out some serious issues with that house, but recommended another home in the same price range that was ten times better in every respect. She went far above our expectations to get us in our new home. Malanie's friendliness, professionalism, and competence as a relator is beyond reproach. Jim & Karen Chambers

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Melanie Fink when selling your home is a wonderful experience. She has a wealth of knowledge, particularly in the Lake Keowee area. We found Melanie to be extremely professional, helping us make good decisions as we worked our way through the process of listing our home, preparing it for sale, and showing the house. Melanie has an extensive network of people that she works with. This was extremely helpful when completing final preparations after we sold the house. From hauling away unneeded items to painting to general clean-up of the house and garage, she provided us with excellent resources. Melanie became our friend and was a calming influence when we had concerns. If we were planning to buy a home again in that area, she would be the person we would contact. Thank you to Melanie and her team!! You are the best!!

ZillowVERIFIED As a NC/SC Broker myself, I chose Melanie Fink to represent us at the lake, and my husband and I are so glad that we did! Melanie is extremely professional and works hard to provide excellent client service. Melanie did a competitive market analysis of our property, quickly implemented a multi-media marketing plan and got it listed and in front of potential buyers in a timely fashion. As a result, our property sold for above the suggested listing price of other Brokers we interviewed to list our property! We would unconditionally recommend Melanie to anyone who is looking to buy or sell on the Lake.

ZillowVERIFIED After buying/selling over 20 houses, we can say with out doubt that Melanie is the best.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I just closed on a property at Lake Keowee with the help of Melanie Fink, and she was AMAZING! At our first meeting, she took the time to ask lots of questions and really get to know our family and understand our interests. Since she's been working in this area for many years, she was able to provide insights about HOA restrictions, the local construction market and even budget assistance. Our closing went about as smoothy as I've ever experienced. I strongly and unequivocally recommend Melanie and her team to anyone who is looking for a realtor! Mark R New Orleans, LA

ZillowVERIFIED If you want to work with someone who will exceed your expectations then look no further than Melanie Fink. There is a reason why Melanie is #1 in her company and the local MLS. Dont be fooled by her pleasant and easy going personality. Her years of experience have made her wise, strategic and she lacks nothing in negotiating skills. Her professionalism and people skills in addition to a well trained team of support staff provided us with a quick and smooth closing. She went above and beyond in placing our interests above her own, a very rare trait that did not go unnoticed. Agents of her caliber are few and far between! Dave & Sheree

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was super duper great. She was referred to us by our contractor to help with a lot, the only lot, we wanted. She went to work and made the deal happen. After several days of going back and forth, the lot was under contract. We closed in less than three weeks. I wouldnt consider anyone else.

ZillowVERIFIED We first met Melanie in 2005 when she helped us purchase a house. We had such an amazing experience with her that we continue to return to her for our real estate transactions. Melanie is kind, honest, professional, and efficient. She is willing to go above and beyond to ensure that her clients are comfortable, informed, and that the interests of her clients are sufficiently represented. Her assistant Katie is fantastic as well. Melanie's team worked with our finance company to make the purchase process seamless and stress-free! You will not regret working with Melanie and her team - they are amazing!

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie Fink became our realtor after an unsuccessful engagement with another realtor. She did a professional job improving the marketing presence of our home and securing a qualified buyer in a short period of time, despite market fluctuations. She was always available for questions; her team was solid and efficient. She has an excellent business acumen and it shows in the way she manages the expectations of seller and potential buyers. We always enjoyed our conversations with her .. she gets the job done! We highly recommend her. (Wayne and Debbie Stoia)

ZillowVERIFIED From the first time I met Melanie I knew she was unique - special. We were selling a different house, and Melanie was not our realtor. We were not having the experience we had hoped for, and I needed some advice. I had a friend that had used Melanie and was extremely happy with her work, so I called her to see if she would talk to me. She not only talked to me but came to my house and listened to my dilemma. She advised me as she would a friend and never once backed away from answering my questions. i knew without a doubt that if we every sold or bought a house in the future, I would be calling Melanie. And that is exactly what I did. We listed our most recent house the first week of September this year and accepted an offer on day 4. Melanie also helped us purchase our next home. She and her assistant, Katie, did everything they could possibly do to make both transactions go smoothly. They walked along beside us every step of the way. I feel so blessed to be able to say that we went into this as realtor and client but came out the other side as friends. I hope I am now in my forever home, but if not, I will be calling Melanie and Katie!

ZillowVERIFIED As residents of Georgia, in 2009, we began looking for a lake house on Keowee and had the good fortune of receiving a referral to Melanie Fink. Because this was our first experience with a vacation home, we proceeded slowly. We found Melanie to not only be patient and informative, but as we spent time looking, Melanie became not only our realtor but our friend. She is extremely knowledgeable of the Upstate area and was able to steer us in the right direction. She has excellent negotiating skills, and by the time we closed on our lake house, we were thrilled with the outcome. Since that time, she has helped us buy an investment property, a property that will be our retirement home and sell the lake house that provided us and our family with many wonderful memories. We cannot recommend Melanie highly enough, and we are grateful to consider her a friend as well as our definite go-to for real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Anyone would be lucky to have Melanie as their real-estate agent! We recently bought a house with her help and she has been one of the best agents I have ever worked with. She really advocates for her clients and goes above and beyond. We purchased a property from out of state and from start to finish she has helped us navigate a new market, coordinate repairs/inspections and made the entire process easy. In this competitive market it is essential to have an agent who knows what they are doing! I will definitely work with her on our future home purchases. Happy House Hunting

ZillowVERIFIED We could not have chosen a more knowledgeable realtor for Lake Keowee, SC. Melanie was immediately responsive and available after we contacted her. With her expertise about the lake, our home was listed at her price point, listed the next day online, and sold three days later. She communicated thoroughly every step of the way. Closing occurred about a month after receiving an excellent contract offer, and was very smooth. In a highly competitive and desirable market, Melanie gave us personal and insightful guidance. We were very satisfied with the entire process.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie was recommended by a friend as she described changes that Melanie suggested to show the house better. I have very high standards and expectations especially after hearing my friend's positive experience. Melanie actually exceeded my these expectations in the entire process. She is very professional, courteous, organized but firm when need be. And my beautiful house looked even better when Melanie moved things and fixed bedspread just so! Melanie was on top of everything that needed to get done to complete the process. Rarely do I give 5 stars to anything (restaurant reviews, etc.) but without any hesitations am giving Melanie 5 stars because she earned it.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie did a great job for us. Unfortunately we needed to sell our Lake Keowee retirement home lot, and we were concerned about getting our money back out of this recent purchase. When I interviewed realtors, Melanie was the most aggressive on pricing, but made a compelling case for her recommendation. Then she got it on the market quickly and it was under contract for just under the asking price in 5 days.While our time working with Melanie was short (a good thing), she communicated well throughout. She really was on top of things. If you have real estate needs in this part of the Upstate, you should look her up.

ZillowVERIFIED I enthusiastically recommend Melanie Fink for all your real estate needs. In the last decade, we have had Melanie as an agent in three transactions (two purchases and one sale), so I know that she is not only consistent, but does a great job representing your best interests on either side of the transaction. From the moment that she sits down to chat with you about what you are looking for and getting to know your personal preferences, needs, and aspirations, you are in reliable hands in locating and finding the right property. Melanie has been in the upstate for a long time and she knows the area extremely well. Throughout the process she is available and responsive to your questions and concerns, and she makes proactive efforts to keep in touch and make sure the whole process is meeting every deadline. At showings, Melanie is a trusted set of eyes to help buyers notice the pros and cons of any property, and her endless connections in the business can help you evaluate what it might take to fix, change, or upgrade anything. She knows the process well and is adept at making sure you know when to make an offer, where to start negotiating, and what contingencies might be necessary. She has so much attention to detail for all the myriad things that need to happen in a sale, and it helps reduce the stress for buyers knowing that Melanie is there making sure nothing is missed. When we worked with her on the sales side, she was incredibly helpful in getting the house staged for showings and thinking through pricing strategies. She did great marketing and brought in lots of potential buyers and did everything we could have asked for to make it easy. When a few repairs were needed, she was able to recommend efficient, friendly, and affordable contractors for the job. We could not have asked for a better experience from an agent.

ZillowVERIFIED Melanie helped us sell our lake cottage. We did not want to make a trip back up to the cottage after we agreed on a sale so she facilitated the sale process via FedEx and emails. We live in another state so the whole process required a lot of paperwork, back and forth. Melanie was wonderful throughout the entire transaction. She knows all the ins and outs of real estate rules in South Carolina and Georgia.I would not hesitate to engage her again, nor to recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling a home.
