I'm an agent with Coldwell Banker Caine, where I represent buyers & sellers in residential real estate transactions.
Whether you’re buying or selling a home, choosing a REALTOR® that’s knowledgeable about the area makes all the difference. As an engaged and highly-connected downtown Greenville resident for over nineteen years, I can offer you access to the best, often unlisted, homes in the following areas:
• Downtown Greenville
• Alta Vista
• Augusta Road
• Cleveland Park
• North Main
• Verdae
• Gower
• Parkins Mill
• Greenville’s West End
• Acadia
While these are my primary areas of expertise, my partnerships with many of Greenville’s largest employers often take me to Greenville’s Eastside, Five Forks Area, Taylors and Travelers Rest.
Specialties:
• Historic Neighborhoods
• New Construction – Single-family homes, condos/townhomes
• Luxury Market
• First-Time Homebuyers
• Corporate Relocation
• Residential/Commercial Development Marketing
Prior to beginning my career as a REALTOR® in 2006, I provided sales, marketing, public relations and client service support to a broad range of clients in the U.S., including many Fortune 500 companies, residential real estate properties and luxury golf resorts in the Southeast, national and custom homebuilders, healthcare, hospitality and travel industries, and high net-worth individuals.
My extensive sales, marketing and public relations background helps me achieve success for my seller clients – quick sales and strong list-to-sale ratios. My seller clients receive customized marketing plans that utilize an analysis of market data, professional photographers, graphic designers, copywriters and public relations professionals to help their properties stand out. I employ a mix of print advertising, social media, REALTOR® and public open houses and events, high-end print materials and signage and more.

Client-Focused Business Model and Client Testimonials:
I’ve been lucky that I’ve been able to build my business primarily by referrals. I take the same interest in each client whether they are a first-time homebuyer or home seller, or a client buying or selling a million dollar home. No matter what the price, each client and transaction is equally important to me. That’s why I also set limits on the number of buyers and sellers I have at one time. It’s important to me to give each client the attention they deserve, be able to show houses when needed, and return all calls and emails the same day. My focus and dedication to each and every client is a cornerstone of my business and has resulted in continual referrals and glowing testimonials. These can be found at www.virginiahayes.com
I look forward to partnering with you to successfully sell your current home, or help you locate the home of your dreams!
