Phil guided us every step during the buying and selling process. He made the entire experience pleasant and seamless. Phil is a very professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy agent and person.
Phil Kalchthaler is as good a real estate agent and broker as I've ever dealt with, and I've invested in real estate all of my life. He is familiar with seemingly every house on Lake Keowee, knowing when it was built, who built it, who bought it, lived in it, and whom they sold it to when they moved on. An amazing amount of knowledge in the Lake Keowee area. His knowledge may extend farther, but we only looked at lakefront properties. During the search process, he never pushed me towards anything; he quickly learned my tastes and from there guided me towards houses that I liked while always continuing to make me aware of everything coming onto the market. When I had found my perfect lake home, his advice on negotiating a fair price was impeccable.

When I had found my perfect lake home, his advice on negotiating a fair price was impeccable. Once under contract, he scheduled and attended all inspections and advised and negotiated with the sellers on issues that were discovered in the inspections. Guided me into and through closing seamlessly and still checks up to see how things are going. Additionally, he seems to know all of the best contractors in the area and scheduled or helped schedule everything to easily make this my home: decorators, carpet cleaners, house cleaners, flooring people, landscapers, and on and on. Yes, I would highly recommend him to family and friends.
Phil was absolutely incredible through and through. The complete experience from start to finish, with no I's left undotted and no T's left uncrossed. Phil's knowledge and guidance were pivotal to the sale of our home. There's no one I would have rather gone to to sell my home. His local connections, market knowledge, and ability to read the situation were unmatched. All around, I have no words other than thank you for taking such good care of us!
Phil is and has been a great agent over the last 10 years. He is always there when I need him; he picks up the phone every time I call. Very honest when it comes to saying, Paul, that one is not for you, or when he says, Paul, you need to look at this one now :) He knows all the areas to consider, especially for future resale. He works well with other agents as far as negotiating and closings; he gets it done. My family has bought and sold many houses and land with Phil. He won't let you down.
