Why Work With a Greenville SC Buyer’s Agent?
When you buy a home, the seller has an agent working for them. A buyer’s agent works for you. I owe you confidentiality, loyalty and full disclosure, and I’m bound to put your interests ahead of everyone else’s, including my own.

Meet Don Wessel, Your Greenville Realtor
I’ve lived and worked in Greenville as a real estate agent for more than two decades, and I’ve spent much of that time behind a camera showing buyers what life here is really like. Many of my clients found me through these videos before they ever set foot in South Carolina.

Interview With the Wall Street Journal
I was recently interviewed by The Wall Street Journal regarding the growing divide in the US housing market. As mortgage rates remain elevated, we are seeing a shift: first-time and entry-level buyers are pausing, while the luxury market, often driven by cash purchases, remains robust.
Here in Greenville, an incredibly popular area, we are feeling this impact. As I shared with the WSJ, “The only buyers who have remained are the people that don’t have any choice because of a change in job or family situation and the people where money doesn’t really matter.”
If you are considering buying or selling in this nuanced market, having an experienced local guide is critical.

Greenville SC Buyer’s Agent FAQ
What does a buyer’s agent do in Greenville SC?
A buyer’s agent represents you, not the seller. I help you choose the right areas, find and tour homes, judge what a home is worth, write and negotiate your offer, coordinate inspections, and guide you through closing.
How is a buyer’s agent paid?
Since 2024, buyers sign a written agreement with their agent that spells out how the agent is paid. In many sales the seller still covers the buyer’s agent’s fee, but it isn’t guaranteed. I’ll walk you through your options before you sign anything.
Can I buy a home in Greenville from out of state?
Yes. Many of my clients buy from out of state. I tour homes for you on video with honest commentary, help you narrow down neighborhoods, and handle the details locally, and several clients have bought homes they first saw in person at closing.
Is Greenville SC a good place to live?
For most of my clients, yes. Greenville has a lively, walkable downtown along the Reedy River and Falls Park, the Swamp Rabbit Trail for biking and walking, and the Blue Ridge foothills less than an hour away. It sits between Charlotte and Atlanta, and nearby towns from Simpsonville to Travelers Rest offer a wide range of neighborhoods and price points.
What areas do you serve?
Greenville and the surrounding Upstate, including Downtown Greenville, Simpsonville, Taylors, Travelers Rest, Greer, Fountain Inn and Laurens.
How long have you been a Greenville Realtor?
More than 24 years. I’m a member in good standing of the Greenville Association of Realtors, the South Carolina Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors and the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC).
Can I search for homes without signing up?
Yes. You can search nearly every Greenville MLS listing on this site without giving any personal information. If you’d like new listings sent to you, create a free account and save your search.
