@@cecesthoughts1001 What's keeping you from making the move?

Hey! Yes the rent here is so much better than NY. You can easily rent an entire 4 bedroom house here for what the average studio apartment costs in Queens

Sounds like your Greenville visits went well! For you, how was the Greenville traffic compared to Charlotte?

@RenaldotheRealtor I stopped off 85 to get gas ⛽️ nice and seemed busy, but someone told me it's only that part futher out it's OK! Not bad as the queen city after graduation, I'm moving to SC for sure ..

@Lanet-ol6fb Yeah I-85 is the busiest interstate around here so you got a good sample of what people complain about. I'm glad you're going to be make the move! If I can help out in any way just let me know!

@RenaldotheRealtor thanks for sharing. going around these places makes my job easier. lol l will keep watching

It wasn't! 🤣 But this area has grown a lot lately

You're right! Not long after recording this, we lost some big branches on our front yard tree due to Tropical Storm Helene 😬

@@RenaldotheRealtor sorry to hear, that's what I miss, the green grass and beautiful trees. My husband and I stayed a month in Mauldin with my niece for Thanksgiving. I'm undecided if I want to purchase a home or rent the first year

@@just4hisonlyglory That's so nice that you got to stay here for a month! Do you feel like you got to explore the area enough while you were staying with them?

WOW THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😊 Yeah planning a move is a big pain in the butt, no sugarcoating that! Lol I try to take as much stress out of the process as possible, so I'm glad to hear my videos are helping!

The state is historically Conservative, but there has been a diverse influx of political views thanks to people moving here from all over the world. So politically and religiously, Greenville is getting more diverse every month. You probably will get invited to someone's church every now and then though 😅 and the mosquitoes are relentless in the wooded areas or near ponds. The South in general has a skeeter curse lol

That's so great to hear! A TON of people are moving here from Florida so you might see some old friends around here soon lol

@@triplejoy77 I'm glad they are helpful! I'll definitely keep them coming! Thank you for watching 🙌🏿

I would love to see that come to fruition! This place is going to keep growing now that the secret is out. So those are some great ideas that would really transform the area. Traffic is the main complaint people have so it's time for long term solutions like those

Great video, Renaldo. Thank you! How about, "what's the best way to meet new people and find community in the area?"

@just4hisonlyglory 37 years is a long time in the desert! What do you like about the Mauldin area?

@@RenaldotheRealtor I love the peace, friendly people, I love to cook, so the fresh vegetables markets got Me!!

Fresh Ingredients are KEY!! I never knew how much of a difference it made until we started going to farmer's markets around here. I miss a few restaurants in Detroit, but nothing beats a home-cooked meal!

Thank you very much! Yes I never knew I would miss trees so much until I moved to the desert so I agree with you! haha I'm so glad you are enjoying your time here!

@Tia-h1n I'm not going to argue against that!

@@Lanet-ol6fb It should be a good change of pace for you! Which big cities have you lived in?

@@jarvisstradford7211 Thank you very much!

That's a fantastic idea! What's your full name so I can put you on the ballot for Mayor 😅

@@RenaldotheRealtor - Thanks there's a RUclipsr who lives abroad and has traveled all over and noticed traffic is a problem in every city he's been to. He made a comment that got me thinking. He said traffic and congestion is one problem that all world leaders regardless of type of government or regime have decided not to solve and not to be bothered with. It can be solved if they wanted to; as seen from the long outdoor escalator in Hong Kong ( possible half mile long) to how effective travelators in airports are (they even call them moving sidewalks) to cable cars to bring you up mountains, monorails used even by Disneyworld for decades, various light rail systems, etc.

@@Edwa759 Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip! And you came just before the biggest storm so great timing! Did you bring your whole family?

@@RenaldotheRealtor Yes we’re so grateful timing wise. it was just heartbreaking to see what happened to Asheville NC - we visited Baltimore house during the same trip 😢 … my husband and I are looking for a place to retire escaping from the unbearable west coast state - don’t worry we are coming as conservative people to keep SC great and safe 😅😁🇺🇸

Greenville was hit by Helene, which was technically a tropical storm when it got to us. It was devastating because this area doesn't usually have to worry about tropical storms or hurricanes. Since 1851, there have been less than 22 tropical storms, tropical depressions and hurricanes combined that have passed through Greenville county according to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Earthquakes happen periodically in Greenville County, usually in the mountains near the North Carolina border. There are a couple fault lines up there. The quakes are usually too small for anyone to feel even if you are in the mountains when they happen. Wildfires aren't a big risk but they do happen in the forests. 98% of the time it's due to some form of human activity. With the largest one being from someone's camp fire they didn't put out on Pinnacle Mountain in 2016. So natural disasters happen here, but. Not too often and they are rarely devastating

@@RenaldotheRealtorI appreciate you taking your time to give me history on Natural Disaster in Greenville. I’m on the northeastern side and wanted some insight but now I’m a bit uneasy. I subscribed so I’ll look more into other videos. TY✨✨✨

You are welcome! Depending on where you are in the northeast, the frequency of many types of natural disasters are very similar to Greenville SC. Look into it for your area, and you might be surprised how much activity there actually is! And thank you so much for subscribing!

Oh wow, that means a lot! Thank you! I know you're not missing those michigan winters 🥶 lol. Do you still have family up there?

@@RenaldotheRealtor Hello! We are renting at Baldwin Chase in Simpsonville until we can find a home that suits our needs. I’m hoping for Greenville and if not there, probably Greer. I find Simpsonville crazy with too much traffic. I also want more a a “downtown” location. We arrived three days before the storm hit. Chose GVL over Charleston to AVOID the hurricanes! Ironic right? Still have family but they’re in Lansing. Hubs remaining family are in Charleston. Thank you for replying back to me! If I run into you one day, we can lament about how much we miss shoveling snow and months of gray winters days! 😂

@CarolJoyable Yeah, Greer is a great spot to consider for sure! And the area you're in now is growing so fast! You'll be seeing more and more traffic once all the new construction projects are completed. In Greer, just pick a place where you can avoid I85 as much as possible 😅

@Edwa759 Thank you! Your wait won't be very long at all 👌🏿

I’m glad you moved too. Hate for you to be living in a place you hate. I came from the greater Detroit area. Couldn’t stand the politics and hard long winters. I’m happy to live in a place others APPRECIATE.

Where did you move to?

​@@RenaldotheRealtor I moved to Gwinnett county, Georgia. Better schools more diverse and you can make way more money than Greenville. Greenville is raggedy. The schools are horrible. South Carolina schools are 44th in the nation. You're treated like crap because you're African-American you make no money there and everything is high priced and you have to deal with a bunch of Donald Trump. Loving Republicans that are running the whole state into the ground. The healthcare system is god-awful. If you want to make some real money and have a real quality of life for your family, move to Gwinnett county Georgia

​​@@CarolJoyableGreenville is a nightmare they can't even get the lights on in one week. The state of South Carolina is broke and run by Trump loving idiots

@iceman227288 I'm glad you found a place that is working much better for you! Call me and my family lucky if you want to, but we haven't had the negative experiences you have. Thankfully, no one in my family has major illnesses, but we have been using the healthcare system a lot with smaller issues and with our pregnancy and son's birth. Our experiences have been very good for the most part. When we first moved here, my wife and I secured high paying jobs, and I stayed until I decided to become self-employed. So we haven't had trouble there either. There are a lot of Republicans here, so half the people in the country will hate that, and the other half will love it. But I know my experience won't be the same as everyone else's, so I'm not trying to take anything away from what you went through. We have no problem packing up and moving if that's what's best for our family, but Greenville has been great for us personally.

@AdamHall3-u6y Yeah Helene's total impact took everyone by surprise! Technically a tropical storm when it hit Greenville, it was a historic amount of damage for this part of the country. Western North Carolina got it the worst unfortunately. Even as far inland as Indiana had downed trees and power outages. Hopefully it was just a once in a lifetime type of storm for Greenville 🤞🏿

Yeah a visit is all it takes for a lot of people. If you need help brainstorming some schemes let me know! 😂

Thank you very much @veronicajackson4868 ! I really appreciate you saying that. I hope all is well with you and yours! 🙏🏿

I'm telling you!.. It could be a sports team and everything! 😂😂

@amustardseedmovement It's great to hear that you found what you were looking for! And just wait until winter, you're going to be so glad you aren't slipping on black ice every day! 🤣 I'm happy for you! :)

Very well produced videos and love the personality 🙂

Thank you so much! Luckily my neighborhood wasn't hit too hard, and we didn't have any flooding so we're all safe 🙏🏿 Yes Greenville is gorgeous! Living in a new home built so close to the city is going to be wonderful for you. And thank you in advance for agreeing to be interviewed! A good chunk of people just tell me to kick rocks 😅

@wesleygriffiths8496 Thank you! I appreciate it!!

@@RenaldotheRealtor Happy you are safe 🙏🏽❤ Your channel is going grow. You have an amazing personality. Those who said no will regret not being a part of your amazing channel. 😂😊

@JasonFleming-e9x I appreciate that feedback, and I'm glad you like it! I will definitely keep it up 👍🏿. Thank you for all your support!

Hopefully he's one of those cool uncles!

@@chrissvenningson1747 I agree with you there! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you appreciate it!

@pamdavis9077 Hey Pam! I think your sister and brother in law are going to love the change of scenery in Traveler's rest. There are still plenty of options for your price range within a 20 minute drive of Traveler's Rest. Are you hoping for new construction?

@southernstalwart Thank you for the positive feedback! And yes, I agree with you

Erksine's official website says this, "Erskine College has been characterized by educational excellence, Christian faith, and warm community since our founding in 1839." And Furman was founded in 1826. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Bridgeway Station is definitely not for everybody!

@@RenaldotheRealtor I did NOT know that about Erskine. And I am a graduate of Furman. I had always heard that Erskine was older.

@SusanM. According to this interactive sundown town map it isn't justice.tougaloo.edu/map/

I can't find any proof that it is one

@@RenaldotheRealtor Thank You, Renaldo ! Hope you and your family are doing well and were not directing impacted by the Hurricane.

@SusanM. You're welcome! And I appreciate you saying that. Luckily we only lost the largest branches of our front yard tree, and a roof shingle. There was no flooding on my side of town. Falling trees did most of the damage.

Thank you so much for watching! I focus on Upstate South Carolina so I'm not sure I'll ever earn your "like"

Wow thank you so much!! Im glad you appreciate the video! I'll keep making content about the greater Greenville are so stick around! Also, is there any specific information you're interested in knowing?

Thank you Ben!! 🙏🏿

I appreciate that! Thanks for supporting my channel! :)

You are very welcome.

Thank you for watching! And no problem at all. I'll get to work some for the suburbs south of Greenville 👍🏿

Thank you very much! A visit is all it takes to fall in love with this place so im glad you enjoyed it! Are you planning on moving here?

@@RenaldotheRealtorYes!! Will reach out to you when it’s the time!

​@@Edwa759 I'll be honored to help!

Nice! What else is on your checklist?

I don't think it's fair to classify the entire city that way. It does have it's rough spots though

@@RenaldotheRealtor find a different place to live than. If you dont like hearing the truth.

The median household income for Spartanburg city is 50k, and for Spartanburg county, it's above 60k. Both are well above the poverty line so it's not true to say Spartanburg is a poverty town. As I mentioned, it does have bad areas, but blanket statements are rarely entirely true

@@RenaldotheRealtor so defensive lol when I have police, EMT telling me to stay away. ill take their word for it over a poor realtor. lol

I'm not from, nor do i live in Spartanburg, and most of my business is in Greenville, so I have no reason to be defensive lol No hard feelings at all here, I'm just saying be careful with overgeneralizing. I really appreciate you watching, though 🙏🏿

Haha thank you! If I can help you with any real estate needs please let me know, then you will see me after all 😅

I love Fountain Inn. So I'll put that on the list for sure!

Thank you so much!! :)

@mrllblasi Thank you for watching! Yeah that is definitely the least loved "feature" in this neighborhood 😅

You will definitely hear the fighter jets but it's not as common as you might think.

@@RenaldotheRealtor ok. I’m retiring from the Air Force… that’s the last thing I wanna hear everyday lol.

HAHA! Man I don't blame you! I appreciate your service btw! I don't know if you saw my Meritage Homes Arden Woods video but they share the neighborhood with Ryan Homes here but Meritage does Sprayfoam insulation so their homes are a lot quieter than other homes on the market. That's something you should check out if you like the Arden Woods area.

Maybe Anderson if you haven’t done so already. I have family in Anderson County but I don’t know about the city and its history.

I'm going to add that to the list. Thank you!
