Greenville

The Upstate

Greenville

Downtown, North Main, Alta Vista and the streets we know on foot, out to Five Forks and the mountain clubs.

Damian Hall Group, Blackstream | Christie's International Real Estate

We sell where we live. Damian has lived downtown since 2012, and the office sits at Blackstream | Christie’s International Real Estate headquarters a few minutes from Main Street. We sell fine homes from Five Forks to downtown and north to Montebello and the Cliffs at Mountain Park, Valley and Glassy.

The streets we know on foot are the ones we want more of: downtown, North Main and Alta Vista, the Augusta Road area, Parkins Mill and Collins Creek. These are small, specific markets where the right buyer is rarely the one scrolling a portal, and where a house marketed with a film and its own site reaches people who were not yet looking in Greenville at all.

Greenville is on the national lists now, and the buyers arriving from Charlotte, Atlanta, Florida and the West Coast are comparing it with Asheville, Charleston and the lake. The journal below is written for them, and for the owners deciding whether this is the year.
