ZillowVERIFIEDRobert is one of the best I have worked with - I have done over 50 plus buying and selling transactions as a property designer and investor over the last 30 years. Our property in Patrick Square "hit a wall" on the market so we brought in Robert and within 5 days he had matched his "buyer clients" with us. Both sides were reasonable so the transaction went quickly and smoothly. I cannot recommend Robert enough. He is on top of things, knows his clients and can advise accurately on the area and the market....our quick sale was a reflection of his knowledge and professionalism. Thank you Robert.

ZillowVERIFIED We cannot say enough about Robert Whitesides and the exceptional experience we had working with him. Robert is the very definition of integrity in real estate. From our first conversation to closing day, he demonstrated unwavering honesty, tireless work ethic, and an impressive depth of market knowledge that immediately gave us confidence. What truly sets Robert apart is his commitment to serving his clients well beyond the transaction. He was always available to answer questions, no matter how small, providing thoughtful guidance, clear explanations, and strategic insight at every step. His responsiveness and proactive communication made the entire process smooth and reassuring, even during moments that could have felt overwhelming. Roberts expertise in negotiations, contracts, and local market trends is outstanding, but its his character that makes him exceptional. He leads with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. We never felt like just another clientaEUR"we felt supported, respected, and valued. If you are looking for a realtor who combines knowledge, hard work, and absolute integrity, Robert Whitesides is the one you want by your side. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert is truly exceptional. I move fast, ask a lot of questions, and dont waste time and he kept up with ease from start to finish. Every showing, every document, every curveball was handled quickly and confidently, which made the entire process feel effortless on my end. What really sets Robert apart is his relationships. Every home I wanted to see, every agent involved, it was clear he is well respected and well connected. That made a huge difference and gave me confidence at every step. Somewhere along the way, Robert stopped feeling like just my real estate agent and started feeling like a friend. Because of that trust, I ended up buying a beautiful home in Walhalla that I absolutely love. Robert is now officially a household name for my family. He will be the first call for any future buying or selling needs, and I recommend him without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIED We were fortunate to have Robert lead us through the selling/ buying process. We had a long list of needs for our new home, and an uncertain timeline for selling ours. Many unknowns... but 100% confidence in Robert from the beginning. He is a true subject matter expert, with an extensive support network. We told Robert what we wanted. 8 short Weeks later, our home is sold (OVER ASKING), and we have closed on our dream home (BELOW ASKING). Robert advised us every step of the way, with decisions large and small. Robert's network of contractors have handled all needed repairs on home sold, and purchased (painting, floors, chimney repairs). All 3 contractors have been pro's, and prioritized us because of their relationship with Robert and his team. In short, we would not buy or sell a home without Robert Whiteside. His team, contractors, and lending team have the very best recipe in the market. Very grateful family.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert is one of if not the best around. Very knowledgeable about the area, knows what price is going to get your home sold and off the market in a reasonable amount of time. He does the research, puts a lot of effort into getting your home sold. I dont think youll find anyone else that works harder than him to get your home sold. My home was only on the market for 3 days before it was under contract. 10/10 would and will recommend Robert to anyone I know.

ZillowVERIFIED I have to sing praises about Robert. He sat us down before anything and showed us trends in our areas and realistic numbers that would make our house sell fast! He made sure we understood percentages going to the sellers/buyers and realtors, and made sure that we made an informed decision with the data and information he gave us. We put our house on sale on a Sunday, and were pending closing by Wednesday! They also have a list of very reputable and fast working contractors who were wonderful and replaced our water heater on short notice 2 days after being contacted. If you are looking for someone to give you not only results but also show you the magic behind the work and make you come out more educated about the real estate business then this team is for you!

ZillowVERIFIED Had a great experience working with Robert. My family and I had to move on a quick turnaround, and because of Robert and his teams marketing and advertising of the home, it was under contract in 48 hours. On top of that Robert is a pleasure to work with in general. Very professional and great energy.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert just helped my fiance and I through the purchase of our first home and I truly cannot thank him enough for his help. We contacted Robert when we found a home through a personal contact that we were interested in but weren't sure if we would even be approved or how to show the seller we were interested in the property. That night he let us know how to get preapproved for a home loan and exactly what to do next. From there Robert walked us through every single step and ensured that we had a very clear understanding of what we were agreeing to and what the next steps would be. As we went through the inspection process, he was very honest with us about what to expect (it is an older home) and what each item that came back on the report meant. He even sent us a video explanation walking through the report so I could pause and rewind when needed. Once we got to the closing process, he was the best support system I could imagine. We were set to close on the day that hurricane Helen hit our town, which ultimately delayed our closing, but Robert & Tiffany were ON THE BALL with updates and were able to get us in on the next business day to close on our home. We closed with Mac Brice in York, SC and even from a distance, due to the hurricane, Robert ensured we were completely taken care of. The entire team at Les Walden was amazing. Tiffany stayed in constant contact with us and was extremely responsive and understanding to every question I had. This entire team is genuine, honest and really treats everyone involved in the transaction with respect. I can see why they are a go-to team in Seneca, Robert and the team are personable, knowledgeable and keep the home buying/selling process as easy going as possible. They ensure that what is known to be a stressful time in life, is also fun, rewarding and something to celebrate! Keep on keepin' on, I can't wait to watch this whole team grow!

ZillowVERIFIED Robert is the BEST. As a first time home buyer, I was very intimidated & unfamiliar with the whole process. Robert walked me through every step, made sure I felt comfortable & understood everything, & advocated for me to get the best rate possible. He is trustworthy, knowledgeable, & all around a genuine person. He truly had my best interest in mind! He has a passion for his job that is second to none. I will use him again & again. But, until then, Ill be enjoying my first home! Courtesy of Robert, Les & his whole team. I'm forever thankful!

ZillowVERIFIED Robert and his team were exceptional to work with through the entire process. In our home search, we provided Robert with our list of aEUR~must haves and aEUR~nice to haves. He narrowed down the search containing the criteria to make our home search more productive. This was especially important since we were moving from out of state. If a property came up when we were out of town, he was extremely accommodating by scheduling a video tour. He would provide input on the pros and cons of each property to better align with our expectations. Once we purchased a property, his team was seamless in providing the information we needed for closing and changes we wanted to make to our house after closing and before moving in. I would recommend Robert and his team. They are knowledgeable, helpful, and passionate about helping their clients.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert is a true professional and an Extremely knowledgeable realtor. When we bought our house in 2020 he helped us by tapping into his wide network of connections and connected us with one of his colleagues that works in our area of the Carolinas.

ZillowVERIFIED Rob helped me purchase 88 acres of land for recreation. Perhaps most importantly, Rob demonstrated a level of integrity and honesty that is rare in today's world. He genuinely cared about my best interests, ensuring that I made a well-informed investment. He's a refreshingly straightforward individual, yet without making me feel pressured or rushed into a deal. His team guided me through the closing with practiced precision. I appreciate good business, thank you!

ZillowVERIFIED We were moving from Hilton Head Island to Lake Keowee area and were referred to Robert from our realtor in HHI. He responded back to us fairly quickly after we reached out & worked it out where we could look at a few homes on the day we had open. He and Les Walden both gave us good information about the area. Robert's relationships with the people involved in purchase of our new house was big in getting an agreement in place & a quick close which is what we needed in our situation. Tiffany was also a pleasure to work with. We appreciated everything Robert, Les, and Tiffany did for us throughout the purchase.

Review for Member: Robert Whitesides
ZillowVERIFIED When I decided to sell my home in Seneca, SC, one of my realtor friends advised me to interview Oconee County realtors with the highest sales, and then choose the one most resonant with my own personality. From the minute I met Robert Whitesides of Les Walden Realty, I knew I had found a realtor with excellent knowledge of the market and the digital toolbox to promote my home. Robert's advice for preparing my home, his marketing know-how and use of social media, his incredible enthusiasm and sales ability resulted in 12 showings and 3 offers the first weekend! His team at Les Walden (especially Tiffany Leaf, my closing coordinator) communicated perfectly and became invaluable through various negotiations. All the while, Robert's clear vision and momentum drove us toward solutions that worked for everyone and resulted in selling the property for $5K over the asking price. Everybody won, including the new buyers who love the house! I give Robert Whitesides my highest recommendation. He is an outstanding human being and a real estate professional in whom you can place your full trust.

As a family who relocated to the Upstate, he was able to provide us with valuable knowledge and insight regarding the Upstate Area.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert is the MAN!! He is simply awesome. The whole experience from start to finish was smooth. We thought buying and selling at the same time would be stressful (which is was), but Robert made the process easy and as stress free as possible. I recommend him to anyone that is thinking about buying or selling. My wife and I will never buy or sell without his guidance.

Not only does he make the process less stressful, he makes it fun!! This is our second time purchasing a home with him and we will never do it without him. Not only did he help us purchase a home, he helped us sell our first and more than exceeded our expectations with that process and the incredibly quick time he got it under contract.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert Whitesides is a pleasure to work with and has an abundance of knowledge on the areas he supports in South Carolina!! His reach into the community is deep and can share information that goes beyond the house or land you are looking for. He will work tirelessly to find you what you are looking for and point out all aspects of the property, even if some renovations are required. Robert also happens to also know just about everyone in the state, so should you need assistance with anything or a recommendation -- he has a "person" that can help and he is fast to share a network of helpers. The team that supports Robert is also amazing!! They move a novice or an expert through with ease and we have now been on both buying and selling sides of the table. Highly recommend if you are selling or looking - Robert Whitesides is the only choice!!

ZillowVERIFIED Robert was extremely helpful with his knowledge of the area in the upstate that we were currently looking. And since we were coming from another state it gave us a great sense of relief knowing that he had extensive knowledge of the area....He was very gracious every time that we met with him. It didn't take him long to find our perfect home...Wonderful real estate experience... An added bonus was Nikki Nicholson as closing coordinator and she was just amazing with excellent communication to us on every turn...

Review for Member: Robert Whitesides
ZillowVERIFIED I have bought and sold a number of houses over the years. However, I found working with Robert and his team to be an exceptionally positive experience. In the purchase process, he listened to what we needed and took into account my need to make a good financial decision. When it came time to sell, the reverse was true. He answered my questions and recommended appropriate renovations which allowed for a maximum return on my investment. If that wasn't enough, his recommendations for tradesmen to complete the work was spot on. The workmen were, professional, on time, and gave a phenomenal "bang for my buck". Nikki Nicholson handled the closing details and when a family emergency arose on the Friday before closing, she managed to make the needed arrangements to move the closing date by 1 day. The Les Walden Realtor team, lives up to its recommendation- If I ever need to purchase a home in the upstate again, I would use them. Sincerely and grateful Kathryn

This is evident in their fast response times, deep attention to detail and refined internal processes. All of these help to make what can be arduous, complicated, and even overwhelming steps in a real estate transaction feel frictionless, seamless and just plain easy.
