“Sherman was absolutely incredible throughout our entire home-buying journey. From day one, he was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly dedicated to helping us find the right home. Buying a house can be stressful and emotional at times, but Sherman made us feel supported every step of the way.

No matter what questions or concerns came up, he was always quick to respond and ready to help. He went above and beyond to keep everything moving smoothly and made sure we always understood what was happening during the process.

What I appreciated most was how genuinely invested he was — not just in the transaction, but in making sure we felt confident and cared for throughout the experience. That kind of professionalism and heart is hard to find.

If you’re looking for a realtor who is trustworthy, hardworking, compassionate, and truly amazing at what he does, Sherman is the one. We are so grateful for everything he did for us and could not recommend him more highly!”

Congratulations, Sherman, on another meaningful client experience.

But that is what makes life here feel so special. At Old Edwards Reserve at Lake Keowee, the calendar is full year-round with community gatherings, live music, family events, golf, lake days, wellness, dining, and the kind of shared experiences that turn neighbors into friends.

Set along Lake Keowee with Blue Ridge Mountain views, the community brings together a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, full-service marina, multiple dining options, wellness center, spa services, tennis, pickleball, seasonal pools, and ongoing activities for every season.

It is more than a lake community. It is an all-inclusive lifestyle upgrade.

We were proud to sponsor the Reserve Foundation’s Evening of Impact, a record-setting event that raised nearly $500,000 to support local charities across Pickens County.

What makes the Reserve Foundation so meaningful is how deeply it reflects the spirit of this community. Through volunteer hours, member generosity, and support for organizations focused on education, hunger relief, safety, recovery, and care, the Foundation turns neighborly commitment into real impact.

That sense of purpose is part of what makes life at The Reserve so special. It is not only a beautiful lake and golf community. It is a place where people come together, give back, and invest in the wellbeing of the region they call home.
