I am a full-time real estate agent at Allen Tate on Lake Keowee, Seneca, SC. I live on the lake with my husband and our spoiled cat. We have two grown boys, one in California and one in college in Columbia, SC. When my husband and I were figuring out where to begin our Next Chapter, we knew that if we lived on the lake, the kids will ALWAYS come visit, and they do!
I am originally from the northeast and dreamed of living on a beautiful lake where the weather is mild in the winter and not too hot in the summer. Throw in the gorgeous views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and that was like winning the trifecta! We were nervous about moving to an area where we didn’t know anyone, but we now understand Southern Hospitality. We immediately felt welcomed and have become more involved in community activities than we ever did living up north.
I decided to share my love of this lake and the lake lifestyle. With over 30 years of sales and marketing experience, I pride myself on listening to my clients’ needs and working with them to make the home searching and buying experience a pleasurable one. I take those same skills and help my sellers by marketing their property to feature it in the best way possible to ensure they get top dollar.
Whether you are looking for your forever home, weekend home, or a beautiful piece of land to build your dream home on, I will work hard to help you begin your Next Chapter.

Fran was excellent with helping us get through our purchase during a very emotional time for us. Her empathetic response helped keep us on target while allowing the time we needed to get through the tragedy that occurred in our family. I can not thank her enough for her help. Would recommend her to everyone wanting a great realtor.

This is the second time we've had the opportunity to work with Fran & it's been a pleasure once again. Her experience and knowledge of the communities we were interested in paid off wonderfully. Fran makes the often confusing buying process as simple and straightforward as possible. We feel like she is always engaged and has our best interest at heart. We highly recommend reaching out to her when it's time to sell or buy your next property.
Fran Graham is an absolute pleasure to work with. She listened to our desires and needs and worked to find us just the right property. Fran is a warm, caring and professional realtor. Our property close was unusually long. We appreciated Fran’s patience and constant communicated throughout the process. We highly recommend Fran to anyone looking for a Realtor. She is number One in our book!
I am a retired successful real estate agent myself so I thoroughly understand the business and am accustomed to - and demand the highest level of professionalism and effort. As such, I well know a good, experienced client-centered agent is not easily found. In a quick word, I feel very fortunate to have met Fran and to have had her handle several searches - and ultimately transactions - for me recently. I am completely satisfied. Five stars is not enough. You'll find her smart, focused, prompt, very well organized, a creative problem solver, realistic, honest, ethical, thorough, personable and very hard working on her client's behalf. In the end, she "makes it happen"; I'm glad that she's always going to be on my side of the table.
Fran exceeded all expectations and sold my house within days. Recommend 1000%.

Recently my husband and I made a monumental move from Arizona to Seneca S.C. We were thrilled to be moving, but we were overwhelmed with the monumental task of finding a place to rent as well as locating a possible home site. A friend of my husband told us of an agent that he had used and could recommend...Fran Graham with Allen Tate Companies.
What a blessing Fran has been. She is knowledgeable of the Seneca and surrounding areas. She helped secure a rental for us and spent countless hours looking at lots for our future home. We discussed our criteria for property and she listened to our wants and needs. What a blessing, professional, attentive, not pushy!! We loved working with her. I would certainly recommend Fran Graham to anyone who wants a stress free, yet knowledgeable approach to buying or selling Real Estate. You'll not be disappointed.

Fran goes above and beyond for her clients. If you are looking for a realtor that will work hard for you and your family, Fran is the one you need to call.

As we were planning to buy a vacation home in South Carolina, we began searching for properties online. Fran was the listing agent for one of the first properties in Seneca to catch our eye. As we are currently living in India, Fran and I had some lengthy conversations regarding the various available properties in the area. She was very committed to knowing our wants and needs for the our perfect vacation home. Shortly thereafter, we flew into town with only a few days to find our new home and begin the offer and purchase process. Fran was absolutely fantastic! She was devoted to helping us in the home search, the actual home showings and guiding us all over the Seneca area. Her understanding of the current market as related to specific neighborhoods was invaluable, certainly saving us time. By the end of the first day, we had selected our new home and had made an offer. Our experience with Fran didn’t end there! After traveling back home to India, Fran remained an essential part of our team guiding us through the long distance home purchase. Fran's wisdom, patience and perseverance truly made the difference. I can’t say enough in recommending Fran as an agent.
Fran provided a personalized video of my new home that happened to come on the market while I was on a trip out of the country. I had not been actively looking for another house, but had mentally prepared myself that if something came along that piqued my interest, I would act. The fact that we needed to initiate everything long distance was made so much less stressful with Fran's personal commitment to getting in there and seeing the home on my behalf and getting the paperwork running.
We visited for a weekend and Fran was able to show us several properties to chose from. She was a wealth of info about the area and a great help during the buying process, particularly as we live in NJ. Excellent experience. We have already referred friends to her.
Darin and Barbara Vogel
As remote buyers, we were so pleased that we chose Fran as our realtor. She previewed several properties, helped us find the one that was right for our needs, and helped us every step of the way through closing - in approximately six weeks! Besides her valuable knowledge of the area, neighborhoods, professionals and discernment, she was so pleasant, humorous and upbeat! It was a pleasure working with her and we highly recommend her.
Fran was excellent and one of the most responsive agents with whom we’ve ever worked. We look forward to seeing her around the community and working with her on future real estate deals.
Bradley S Warren
Fran was a pleasure to work with. She was very knowledgeable about Lake Keowee and was patient with us even if the market wasn't patient. We could reach out to Fran at anytime and she was quick to respond. We would recommend Fran to anyone looking to be on the lake!
Catherine E Vache
Fran is an organized professional who stays abreast of the availability of properties. She is client oriented and accommodating. Her warm personality and infectious laugh combined with her knowledge of the market is why we chose her as our agent.
Erville L Koehler
Fran was great. She informed us of available options and was always right there when when we needed her. She really took care of everything and has an extensive network. Most importantly, we got a house we love, exactly where we wanted to be.
Steve Markel
Fran Graham was a great realtor whom really had our best interests at top of mind. She worked diligently to get information on the property and communicated with us clearly and expediently all the way through the process. We will seek her out again for our next property in Seneca, SC and surrounding areas.
Patrick M Megan
We can't begin to share with your Allen Tate team how terrific Fran Graham was to work with in this months long process. She supported our in search in any way she could. Eager to help, she showed us many homes and did video walk-throughs for us when we were not in town. During closing she helped negotiate an additional $5K from the seller to offset some badly needed repairs in the home. We would recommend Fran to anyone looking to purchase in the area.
Fran was did an amazing job helping us find a new home. She guided us every step of the way to find the best home to fit our needs. She always answered our calls promptly and we always knew that we could depend on her to find the answers to any question we had along the way. I would highly recommend Fran for your real estate needs! Thank you Fran!

Fran has been absolutely wonderful. She was very patient and showed me more homes then she ever did before, and never complained. I highly recommend her.
Keith Johnson
Wow! Fran is the Best!! Great Staging, Great Photography, Great Service. On top of everything, very detailed and nothing fell through the cracks. Fran sold our house in 24 hours!! And she is FUN to work with. None better in the Upstate! If you are unsure, contact me personally and I will easily convince you that Fran Graham should be your agent!!!

We moved from New Jersey to Lake Keowee last January and it has been the best decision we have ever made for our family. Fran is not only a wonderful Real Estate Agent, she was and is our NEXT CHAPTER LIFESTYLE CONSULTANT! She helped us find the house of our dreams (sending us many videos of her personal previews of homes) and introduced us to the many lifestyle opportunities, organizations, charities, events, and service vendors in our new community - Pickleball groups, Workout Gyms, Golf Clubs, Ladies on the Lake Club, lawn service contractors to finding a boarding facility for our horse! If you are thinking about relocating to SC - Contact Fran - She will find you the house and the lifestyle you are searching for
You won't find a more knowledgeable agent. We were buying from out of state and she handled everything in a very professional and timely manner. She knew who to call and got the path cleared for a very easy closing. I'm so glad she was recommended to me by a friend who lives in the area. I wouldn't consider using anyone else if we decided to make another move. I really appreciated her honesty about the different areas around the lake. We just couldn't be happier!
Fran gave us first class service throughout the search, negotiations and closing. She showed us many properties until we finally settled on “the one”, and was instrumental setting up inspections and closing. As we were out of state, we were solely dependent on her to make it happen, and she came through for us big time! Thanks Fran!
