We've made the Upstate of South Carolina our home for over 20 years and we like to tell newcomers that we genuinely have the best of both worlds here—a unique combination of Southern sensibilities with the best food, art, and outdoor lifestyle, thrown in for good measure. In addition, our central location makes trips up to the mountains or down to the coast a breeze. 

About John Bowen

Growing up in a small town in Southeast Texas, my family would have to travel over an hour away to visit the big city and go shopping. Today, I live just a few minutes away from Greenville's vibrant downtown where some of the world's best amenities await. My perfect day would be spent cycling down the Swamp Rabbit Trail, enjoying views of the idyllic Reedy River, then meeting up with a friend for lunch and visiting a garden center or farmer's market. 

I originally moved to the Upstate as part of a corporate relocation for a retail chain. I lived in Mauldin, then Greer and Simpsonville, before finally settling in Taylors. My real estate career began in 1999 when I purchased a home from a production builder. I began to research the home buying process and realized that a lot of information had not been explained very well, which hindered my ability to make a well-informed choice. With this in mind, I set out to obtain my real estate license. I stepped out of the corporate world in 2001 and have been a full-time agent ever since. 

Today, my business is 98% referral-based, meaning that nearly all of my new clients are recommended to me by satisfied past customers. I firmly believe that relationships are the heart of my job. As such, I am committed to keeping in touch with my clients, whether by popping by to say hello, dropping off a tasty treat, or connecting them with vendors for home improvement projects. Your home is not just your most valuable asset, it's your sanctuary. Whether you want to list your home for sale or buy something new, I am here to help you make the very best of Greenville Life.

About Pamela Phillips-Norris

Home is where your story begins. That's why I take the time to truly understand what matters most for your lifestyle. As a dedicated buyer's agent, I specialize in helping clients navigate the home buying journey with clarity, confidence, and care. I understand that finding the right home isn't just about square footage and price points; it’s about discovering a place where your life unfolds naturally. 

A native Texan with a lifelong love for cooking, I’ve always believed that the heart of every home is found where people gather, share meals, and make memories. My professional path has been shaped by a love for people, creativity, and community. I have a background in film and photography, as well as public relations, marketing, and nonprofits. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to own and operate my own catering company, as well as a photography company, both of which were focused on celebrating life’s special moments. That creative foundation continues to inform how I approach real estate today, with an eye for detail and guiding clients with care. 

Whether you're a first-time buyer excited to plant roots in the Upstate, a growing family seeking more space, or an investor adding to your portfolio, I'm here to make the process seamless and enjoyable. I believe in taking the personal approach, getting to know not just what you're looking for in a home, but what you're looking for in a life here in Greenville. My goal is to be your guide to South Carolina's Upstate region and to become your trusted real estate partner for life.
