Member of Greater Greenville, SC Association of Realtors & Multiple Listing Services.

Ken Horbinski has joined Keller Williams Realty in order to serve you better. My new web site is listed above, so please add it to your favorites.

Fifteen years ago my wife and I fell under the spell of the majestic mountains of  Upstate SC, and after visiting every state in the union, we settled here.

I am very knowledgeable about the foothills property and the surrounding areas.  Example: Lake Keowee, Lake Jocassee, Seneca, Clemson, The Cliffs, Travelers Rest, Easley, Greenville & the famous Pumpkintown area.  Let me find you a home or property in the Promise Land of  South Carolina.  Did you say you like golf?  Palmer, Nicholas & Player offer some of the best courses to play in the country and they're all right here.

If you like hiking trails, Table Rock State Park has miles of them.  How about boating?  The lakes near by offer the best fishing and water sports. Some of the best camp grounds are within walking distance of my back yard.

Whether it be a home with a view of Table Rock Mountain, a getaway cabin on Lake Jocassee, or ten acres to surround your dream home, I can help you with that special piece of property.

In the last six years I have been a Top Producer in the Greater Greenville MLS.  This ranking was earned through hard work and dedication.   I will continue to work hard and give excellent service to you.

Thanks to all who have worked with me in the past.  I do appreciate your business. If I can help you, please call me.

The country maybe hurting elsewhere as to the Real Estate market but in this part of the country meaning the Upstate of South Carolina our market is doing fine.  Inflation never started here like in other areas.  We had single digit appreciation while others had double digit.  Our market is stable. You'll witness this when you come for a visit and check it out for yourself.
