Built Different.

 Hi, I’m Carmen Rice.
Thank you for visiting my website—I'm so glad you're here. Below is a little about me and my passion for helping clients navigate their real estate journey with confidence and ease.   

I was born and raised in Georgia, where my roots and love for community first took shape. After meeting my husband in Georgia, our journey together led us west to Oregon, where we were married in a serene ceremony on the beach—an unforgettable beginning to our life together. Shortly after, we welcomed our first child, a son, and a few years later our family grew again with the arrival of our daughter.

In 2013, we felt called to a new chapter closer to family and a slower, more connected lifestyle, we relocated to South Carolina. By 2016, we found our home in a picturesque Lake Hartwell community—a place that truly feels like home. Today, our family includes our two children and our energetic Blue Heeler, Chloe, who keeps us active and smiling.

Family and balance are at the heart of everything I do. I love spending time outdoors—whether it’s long walks and hikes with Chloe, afternoons on the lake or by the pool in the summer, or cozy movie nights and game nights with my kids during the winter months. I also enjoy playing golf with my husband. Music has always been a meaningful part of my life as well; I’ve played piano since the age of 11 and currently serve on my church’s worship team.

Professionally, I am a licensed Realtor serving both South Carolina and Georgia, with a focus on Upstate South Carolina and North Georgia, particularly the Lake Hartwell area. My real estate journey is rooted in a deep appreciation for the communities I serve and a genuine desire to help others navigate one of the most important decisions of their lives. I specialize in residential and lake properties and have extensive knowledge of the local markets, including US Army Corps of Engineers regulations that directly impact Lake Hartwell properties.

I take a goal-oriented, detail-driven approach to every transaction, advocating fiercely for my clients’ best interests. From strategic pricing and skilled negotiation to contract management and closing, I am committed to making each buying or selling experience as seamless and stress-free as possible. Listening closely to my clients’ needs, goals, and concerns allows me to tailor my approach and deliver results that align with their vision.

For me, real estate is about more than buying and selling homes—it’s about relationships, trust, and guiding people through meaningful life transitions. I pride myself on being dependable, honest, and attentive, ensuring my clients feel confident and supported every step of the way.

Through ongoing education and staying current in an ever-changing real estate market, I approach this profession not just as a job, but as a lifelong career. Helping clients achieve their homeownership goals—whether finding the perfect lake home, selling a cherished property, or relocating to a new community—is what drives me. I am passionate about what I do and honored to play a role in turning my clients’ real estate dreams into reality.
