33 years ago, Joan Herlong of Joan Herlong & Associates Sotheby’s International Realty and her husband were newcomers to GVL (with two preschoolers and an infant), when it was filled more with possibility + potential than it was “popular.”

Today, here’s what she loves about GVL:

  • There is more than one downtown in Greenville County.
  • You can be “deep in the forest” in less than 20 miles from Main Street.
  • We are a Southern community with an amazing international feel.
  • Greenville is making new history every day.
  • The traffic isn’t as bad as we think.
