Cynthia Akins, Realtor

Cynthia Akins, Realtor REALTOR® serving the Upstate of South Carolina With over 25 years of living in the upstate of South Carolina, I have a deep connection to the community.

Starting my real estate career in 2011, I’ve navigated various market trends and have a keen understanding of the ever-changing landscape. My previous experience in the building and home improvement industry provides me with valuable knowledge that benefits my clients. My passion lies in getting to know my clients personally and guiding them through every step of buying or selling their homes, ensuring they feel confident and stress-free in their decisions. I hold several certifications in real estate, but the most important thing I hold is my clients' trust and belief in me. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking for them, and exploring new places. I have two dogs: Sandy, a sweet rescue who's made amazing progress, and Ranger, my loyal walking and traveling companion. (You might even get to meet him one day!)
