The Gallery - Issue XIII

Hello!

Hello! Welcome to the 4th Quarter 2022 edition of The Gallery, the Upstate’s first and only brokerageproduced publication. We’re happy you’re here, as we are excited to share some announcements heading into 2023.

First, we have hired a Director of Marketing! Jillian Sobeck Whalen is a Greenville native, but she is based out of the DC area and has extensive experience with Sotheby’s International Realty marketing, formerly serving as the marketing director for a top producing team in the DC-MD-VA metro area with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty. Jillian knows both the Sotheby’s International Realty brand, and the more local version, the Joan Herlong & Associates brand, inside and out. We are so excited about Jillian, and the impact that her expertise and unique vision will have on the businesses, and the lives, of our associates and their clients.

Secondly, we have an announcement regarding the publication you are currently reading! The Gallery has been a great success for Joan Herlong & Associates since its introduction in 2018. In 2023, The Gallery will take the next step in its evolution, and will change from a quarterly publication to an annual format. The new format will be much more substantial than the quarterly editions, and will feature much of the same content, but we’ll be bringing much more to the table as we’d love to see this publication on coffee tables across The Upstate after it is released.

In the meantime, you can still expect the same basic things from any Joan Herlong & Associates Sotheby’s International Realty agent:

– that they will embody the company’s core values of Honor, Advocacy, and Expertise,

– that they will “do the right thing, even when no one is looking,” as that is both the company’s stated policy as well as its ethos, – that they will provide “complete client transparency” at every step of the process, so our clients are never guessing or wondering about anything, – that they will always tell the truth, even if the truth is hard to tell, or hear,

– that they are always considering the interest of their clients in any decision or advice they offer, – that they will achieve the results they set out to for their clients.

As always, I’m open for any feedback anyone has to offer me, but the proof is in the pudding: if you’re skeptical about what you can expect from Joan Herlong & Associates or any one of our agents, check out the scores of satisfied customers leaving glowing reviews for our agents and our company, at www.jha-sothebysrealty. com and on the individual agents’ pages. We love to make our agents look good, because they make us look great.

We let our clients do the talking!

“We had wonderful experience working with Patrick. Patrick has an upbeat personality, he is extremely professional, his attention to detail and communication took all the worry and stress away us. I would highly recommend Patrick.” - Barb & Bill M., Travelers Rest

“Samantha is very trustworthy and knowledgeable. She made selling our old home and buying our new home a breeze. She was always on top of it and fought for us to get the best from each process!” - Lisa C., Greenville

“Matt used his network to find out about homes coming on the market, and got us into them as soon as possible. Throughout the whole process, Matt was always really responsive and helpful. He went above and beyond to give us thorough answers to our questions, and was willing to have phone calls with us in the late evenings after our kids had gone to bed. We would highly recommend him!” - Neil & Amy L., Greenville

“Samantha was enthusiastic about every step of the process. She was incredibly professional and helpful start to finish. She helped us both buy and sell quickly. We appreciate all her hard work!” - Joe V., Taylors

“…Patrick helped us sell our home and purchase another house. His dedication and willingness to work with whatever schedule we threw at him made all the difference. I never felt like Patrick was just “helping us buy a house”, he was fully invested, and his service had an extremely positive impact in our personal lives.” - Tom O., Simpsonville

“We moved before closing and we left knowing Matt would help interface with contractors on the rest of the repairs before closing. It could have been more expensive and difficult had we used anyone else. Everything went so smoothly from start to finish, even with the extra bit of research that had to be done on the building codes. Oh, and he was always super responsive with his texts, calls, and emails. Thanks again!” - Dan & Erin K., Greenville
