Alicia Keys
Lake Keowee Realtor
Meet Alicia, Born & Raised in the Upstate
A true local. A true Southern realtor.
Alicia didn't move here for the lake life, she grew up in it. Raised in Walhalla at the foot of the Blue Ridge, her childhood was spent on these waters with a boating family, and her autumns cheering on the Clemson Tigers. She knows every cove of Lake Keowee, every back road of Oconee County, and every neighbor along the way.
Nothing about her success was handed to her. Alicia built her business the Southern way, one handshake, one referral, one happy family at a time, and today she lives on the very lake she sells. That's a perspective no out-of-town agent can offer, and a work ethic her clients feel from the first showing to the closing table.

Verified Client Reviews
Trusted by Upstate families.
Every review below was left by an actual client on Google or Realtor.com, buyers and sellers Alicia has guided across Lake Keowee, Seneca, and the Upstate of South Carolina. Nothing here is written by us.
April 2026
“Alicia is a Gold Star real estate agent. She has a soft touch with her clients, so we found her very easy to work with. She had prepared significant research for us leading up to listing our home, so that we could be very informed and make the right decisions. Without her research, we would have listed our home for less than it ultimately sold for. Her knowledge of real estate and contract law is very thorough. That was apparent, as we had several unique things come up during the listing of our house and purchase of the new house. Furthermore, she is a skilled negotiator advising us throughout the process and negotiating with the other agent. 5 Stars and highly recommend.”

Bought and sold a Single Family home in Seneca, SC
October 2025
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Alicia Keys, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, her deep expertise in the local market was evident—she truly understands our area, from pricing trends to neighborhood dynamics. What stood out most, though, was her skill in negotiation. Alicia advocated for us at every step, ensuring we got the best possible deal without compromising on what mattered to us. Her calm, confident approach helped ease any stress and kept the process smooth and efficient. If you’re looking for someone who knows the local market inside and out and who will go to bat for you when it counts, Alicia Keys is the one you want on your side.”

Bought a single family home in Tamassee, SC
June 2025
“Alicia is A#1!!! She helped my wife and I sell our house in a timely manner and she patiently put up with our indecisions and quirks in finding a new home. Alicia was always a simple phone call away. She also guided us through each step of the journey of paperwork and legal jargon involved in buying and selling a home. I highly recommend Alicia as a top-notch real estate agent and friend.”

“Alicia did an absolutely amazing job with helping my son purchase his first home. She jumped right into action on a Sunday afternoon when he said he wanted to make an offer and was by his side through every step of the process from offer to closing. She was readily available to answer all his questions and provided great direction and education to him. You will not go wrong selecting Alicia as your realtor!”

She has been our agent more than once and I highly recommend her!”
