He is a hands on agent who can be trusted to handle your real estate transaction from beginning to closing. He is an advocate for both buying and selling. He prides himself on quick communication via phone, text or email, as he is a true 24 / 7 agent.
The real estate market is ever changing. John survived the sub- prime real estate market of 2008-2009 when other agents were falling out by the wayside. The Greenville market has changed dramatically over his 20 years in the local real estate business; seeing a booming downtown grow before his eyes; to the bustling suburbs of Simpsonville, Travelers Rest and Greer.

John received the Allen Tate Legend’s award this year signifying a career sold volume of the $75 million dollar mark.
When John is not handling his real estate work, he and his wife of 30+years are spent keeping up with their 4 adult children, and two grandchildren . His wife ,Ruth, works in the Greenville school system which helps John get the inside scoop on the top performing schools. They have three graduates from Clemson currently, with one attending this year. His other is at Johnson Wales pursuing a Culinary degree. The Neil’s are “foodies” for sure! Ruth and John are involved with their church in downtown Greenville as well as supporting Young Life, Triune Mercy Center, Emmanuel’s Hammer and the arts. Their oldest daughter, Laddie , is an accomplished painter in Greenville. Check her out at laddieneilart.com !
John prides himself also on helping his clients with any and all needs. He loves to tell them the best places to eat, get a car fixed, find a good doctor, the best golf course, or fishing hole, etc. His biggest blessing is when after closing, his client becomes his friend. He goes into every transaction treating all clients like he would like to be treated with patience and respect. Read the testimonies of John for the real story about him.

John Neil is a true professional. From the beginning of this selling process to the end , I felt secure in the fact that I was in good hands. He was always available when a question or a solution was needed. Certainly would recommend his service to all.
Ron and Pauline Kelley
John was our realtor eleven years ago when we decided to move from Virginia to Greenville. He was exceedingly accommodating where other realtors ignored us due to our having to sell our home in Virginia before buying here. He gave us two full days in our initial search even before our home was sold. After it sold (in five days) he again helped us to find our ideal home and negotiated a great deal for us which included some builder's extras. We were impressed that he went the extra mile to see that we had the best buy we could get. Needless to say, he has always exceeded our expectations, especially in the current sale of our home. He has always had our full confidence and trust and we have referred him to couple of friends whose homes he has also sold.

He was exceedingly accommodating where other realtors ignored us due to our having to sell a home in Virginia in order to buy one here. He gave us two full days of his time in our property search even before our home was listed. Once listed, it sold in five days. We returned right away and he again devoted time to us in finding our ideal home. He negotiated a great deal with the builder and also got a number of extras from him. We were very impressed with his going the extra mile in getting our best buy. We have been so pleased with his service that we have referred two of our friends to him and he has sold both of their homes. John has always exceeded our expectations, especially in the current sale of our home and he has our full confidence and trust.

Ginger Master
Best agent in Greenville. Knows his stuff…history of homes etc. Personable and easy to be with. Definitely deserves 5 star rating!
Douglas Kinser
I was extremely satisfied with the assistance, knowledge and honesty that he provided during my home hunting. He was willing to adjust his time and scheduled house showing to times that were appropriate for me. Being a first-time home buyer, that meant a lot. He made the task very stress free and surprisingly fun.
Fernando Zamudio
Extremely satisfied with John Neil's service!!!
James L Vilardi
John provided a valuation report on my father in law's property for probate and even asked for no money. Now, four years later the family is selling the house and the first person I called was John. Since I live 800 miles away, I needed someone I could trust who would look out for me. John has guided me through this process and has really gone over and above what's required to make sure the process went well. John even came over with his leaf blower to help the family with the cleanup. You can't go wrong with John on your side.
Marian
John is the ultimate professional that you want in your corner when selling a condo or house in the upstate. He patiently guided us through the sale of our condo- apprising us of the local market conditions, putting together a sharp portfolio quickly, seamlessly facilitating the showings, etc. It was a stress-free process even during the COVID pandemic, in the midst our growing family (active toddler and arrival of our second child) and needing to work around hours needed for our careers.
Cheryl Stearns
Thank you again John!We first met John when relocating from Massachusetts to Greenville, SC. Not only did John take the time to introduce us to the different areas around Greenville and explain the differences, but took the time to narrow down the best area for us then making sure I had everything on my 'must' have list to find our new home. John's extensive knowledge of the area and market made it easy for us to contact him again 4 years later when it was time for us to sell our home and we are happy we did! John brought us multiple offers and also a back-up offer. Thank you John!
Dave Miller
John was great to work with. Showed me many properties and willing to do whatever I needed to help as I was out of state. Very knowledgeable in the market and found what I needed.
Shanna Tomer
We recently relocated from Washington State. My husband and I can't say enough about our agent. John Neil was not only wonderful in helping us find our perfect home but he also recommended places to see, places to eat etc. An all around wonderful experience. We will definitely be giving him a call for why future needs!
Chris Calder
John was a pleasure to work with! He has a vast amount of knowledge on the market and helped make me feel confident on the home I chose. Would highly recommend
Barrie Gray
John Neil is an excellent real estate agent with extensive knowledge of the Greenville, SC area. He makes the process of purchasing a lot and building a home stress free.
James Beard
John Neil went above and beyond what I would expect from any realtor. Moving from out of state and having to sell a home in Iowa, my window of opportunity to find a home in SC was small. John took the time to understand what it was I was looking for in a home so as not to waste time looking at dwellings that didn't fit those needs. After finding a home here, I needed to get back to Iowa to finish the sale of my property there. In my absence, John took care of coordinating and doing the initial walk-thru of my house. On the day of the final walk-thru, John was promptly there to accompany me at the designated time, and not wanting to drive thru downtown Greenville with a 6x12 UHaul behind my truck, John took me to my closing appointment. John is top notch, and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to buy a home in the South Carolina upstate.
Manny Fountain
My wife and I had an exceptionally pleasant and professional experience with John. He was readily available for any questions or issues we needed addressed and he was integral for us to find our first home.
Sam and Jingle Roninson
We were referred by our son who was a previous client. John was knowledgable and helpful on all fronts.
Tim and Heather Schuyler- Greenville
Even if the client thinks they know what they are doing (especially if they have not bought or sold a house in a while), John treats them (information wise) like they have no idea- informed on every step of the way.
Kevin Eaves
John was great! Being young, I knew nothing about the real estate process, so John's experience was a perfect fit. He helped with everything and even helped pick out colors of the house and countertops! Can't imagine using any other realtor. Also very fun to work with. John is the man!
Neil and Terri Cross-Alabama
We could not have asked for a better agent. From the minute we arrived in Greenville, John was there to help us not only with real estate needs but everything from where to shop to where to find places when we were lost. John helped us feel like we are now a part of Greenville.
Peter and Helen Truesdale - New York
John was more than we expected from a real estate agent. He was understanding of our emotional, as well as, financial needs. John's ever up-beat attitude and gentle humorous encouragement and patience guided us through the process with minimal pain. We can't imagine anyone could have been more attentive to our desires and welcoming to the Greenville area community.
Jack and Pat Wright- Michigan
John was a great agent. He familiarized us with the city and was the guy I wanted in my corner at closing to make things happen. He gets my vote! I would definitely recommend him.
