As a first time homebuyer, Lenny was very hands on in making this process as smooth as possible for us. Although there was a few bumps in the road on my end, Lenny stayed encouraging and uplifting me along the way. I appreciate all of his hard work and 10/10 I do recommend seeking his assistance to start your homebuying process. He was very professional, helpful and willing to go above and beyond to assist in getting us to the closing table.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Realtor – Lenny Gaines Made Selling My Home a Breeze!

Selling a home can be stressful, but working with Lenny Gaines made the entire process smooth, efficient, and even enjoyable. I hired Lenny to sell my home in the Riverstone Community in Greenville, South Carolina, and from day one, he provided invaluable insight and exceptional service that truly set him apart.

Lenny's deep knowledge of the market, strategic approach, and attention to detail ensured my home was positioned to sell quickly and at the best possible price. He was always responsive, professional, and proactive, keeping me informed every step of the way.

If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and results-driven realtor, Lenny is the one you want on your side. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Lenny Gaines is truly exceptional, in the real estate industry. When my spouse and I were on the hunt for our home in Fountain Inn Lenny turned the journey into a delightful experience. Right from our meeting Lenny made sure to grasp our requirements and tastes thoroughly. He was patient, attentive and there to address any queries we had no matter how small.

Lennys knowledge of the Fountain Inn market is unmatched. He led us through neighborhoods highlighting the characteristics and potentials of each property. His expertise and advice were incredibly helpful in assisting us in narrowing down our choices and ultimately discovering the home.

During negotiations Lenny skillfully represented us working diligently to secure the deal. He maintained professionalism throughout. Showed respect to all parties involved.

After closing the deal Lenny went above. Beyond by offering useful resources and suggesting local services. His commitment to his clients is truly commendable.

If you're seeking a real estate agent who will make your home buying journey smooth stress free and successful look no further than Lenny Gaines. We wholeheartedly endorse him for anyone searching for their dream, in Fountain Inn or its neighboring areas.

This was our second time working with Lenny Gaines because we enjoyed him so much the first time! Lenny goes above and beyond to make sure your house buying/selling process is very straightforward and fairly easy. He is always up to date and on top of what's going on. He has an answer for all your questions and is quick to respond. Lenny is very reliable and was more than helpful to us, I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a fantastic realtor!

Wow. 2 moves in 2 years! And this man did it in God's time on both occasions! We cannot say enough to demonstrate the lengths Lenny Gaines took to help us, including helping us cope through some tumultuous terrain with 2 very different seller experiences (buyer vs seller market in each selling year). Thank you for always finding a way to make a way! We will miss the Upstate, and miss Lenny Gaines a lot as well!

Let me just say I highly recommend Lenny to anyone thinking about selling and/or buying! He’s very knowledgeable when it comes to real estate. He was always only a phone call away if I had any questions. Being that this was my starter home, I was not 100% ready to sell when I first decided to put my home on the market but after our initial discussion I was 1000% onboard and at ease with my decision. He was there every step of the way throughout the entire process and my family and I walked away pleased with the outcome. So much so that I am now considering going into real estate myself!

Derrick Quarles recommends Lenny Gaines

When we first started house hunting, we didn’t think we needed a relator. We went to about 4 new subdivisions and had conversations with salespersons that led me to reach out to Lenny. He helped us understand how important it was for folx to have representation from a realtor when purchasing a home and I noticed a stark difference in how agents for builders spoke to me. Lenny was super patient. More patient than we could have asked. Our home buying process with Meritage Homes was a nightmare but because of Lenny’s experience and knowledge of real estate law and policies, we were able to secure an incredibly low interest rate. He was an advocate and a teacher, as we learned from this process. If you’re in the home-buying market or even if you’re just wanting help with your credit so that you can purchase a home, reach out to Lenny. Many of the builders and agents in the area know and respect Lenny and that may be the difference between a 4.99% interest rate and a 6.99%. Not promising you it will be lower because of Lenny, but he’s a great negotiator.
