Clay Vassey just doesnt quit! You'd think being a top Realtor and broker in Seneca would be enough to keep him busy, no way. Clay is a name we've known for a long time, but we haven’t really had the chance to sit down and talk—so this is a fun one. He’s built a strong reputation in Seneca, South Carolina, as a top real estate broker, helping people find their place in the Upstate.

We talk about what brought him into real estate, what makes Seneca such a unique and growing market, and how he’s built his business over the years. But here’s the part you might not expect—Clay has a background in clogging! We get into that too, along with a whole lot more. It’s a great conversation about business, community, and unexpected passions.
