About Me
As Marshall McLuhan once famously stated, "The medium is the message". Eldon is the medium that connects buyers and sellers of luxury real estate along the shoreline of Lake Keowee in the Mountain Lake Region of the Upstate of South Carolina. Calling upon his extensive credentials as a senior marketing executive, Eldon, a Realtor® since 2000, understands that the quality of a property is conveyed by ensuring all aspects of the transaction involving that property are treated with a high level of care and diligence. He provides his seller clients with the right balance of detailed market knowledge and practical marketing options; guiding them carefully to position their properties in a competitive and dynamic real estate market. His buyer clients find that he’s a “quick study” who readily sees the market in terms of their needs and desires.
Bringing buyer and seller together is where Eldon excels. “This isn’t a zero sum game”, he says. “When a transaction is structured as a win – win, both buyer and seller perceive added value. That’s a space where I really enjoying working.
It isn’t about taking stunning photos, flying the latest drone or writing flowering prose about a property and its virtues. That can all be hired out. Both buyers and sellers want someone who can pull together those sales tools while providing the interpersonal skills necessary to unlock and expose the value proposition in any offering. Eldon’s message is that it’s the total package that counts.

Allen Smith
We appreciate the job (you) did for us. (You) really worked for us and provided excellent counsel throughout all phases of the sales cycle. It’s a big relief to have the sale of this home behind us.

Thank you for all the effort you put in selling our lake house. Richelle and I are, and have been, very impressed with your expertise, follow up and effort during this process. Please feel free to use us as client references if you want. Thank you again!
Tom Greene
Both Virginia and I want to thank you for your extraordinary efforts in showing the Coleridge property to us on such short notice, your responsiveness to our questions and concerns, and the professional manner in which you handled all aspects of the transaction. We recognize the interests of the Verret’s were your primary objective, but I would add that your assistance helped greatly in our being able to make a decision to purchase. There is no doubt in our mind that the Verrets chose the right agent to market their property.
Bill Trull
We very much appreciated Eldon’s professionalism and attention to detail. It was one of the smoothest real transactions we have experienced.
Dr. Keith Carver
We loved Silver Creek but when Leslie took a new job working with special needs children in Anderson, we needed to move closer. Our home sold much quicker than we expected considering the overall real estate environment. That was a big relief for us! We really appreciated the diligence and professionalism displayed by Eldon … throughout the entire process.
Judy and Bill Koepnick
It has been a busy five weeks since moving into the house you helped us find, and we are terribly overdue in expressing our graditude to you … for all of the work you have done on our behalf since we first made contact back in April.(You) were remarkably quick to understand the style of home and particular requirements we maintained in our search, and you wasted none of time showing us properties that wouldn’t meet our needs. Throughout the negotiations you gave us excellent guidance and made the process trouble-free.But that is what we expected from a professional organization. What surprised and delighted us beyond your efficient realty services has been the extra effort before, during and after the purchase that has helped us in so many ways. You have been exceptionally generous with your time; you have provided us with numerous excellent leads for local tradespeople, shops, dealing with local customs; and you have done so much to make feel welcome and comfortable in this new environment. We are very, very grateful for all of these kindnesses, and feel extremely fortunate to have found you when we first started looking for our new home.Please feel free to share this letter with any prospective client who may want to know how your past clients feel about working with you.
Dominic Petrone
Very knowledgeable about the area and the workforce available in the area to complete any task you may need.
Edith Allen
Eldon did an outstanding job of finding just what we wanted! He informed us on all the perks as well as price tags that occur in the Keowee Key community so that we could make an educated decision and thus purchase. Thanks Eldon for being so organized, professional and educated so that we could make this investment.
Sue and Rob Korycansky
From my first phone call to Eldon the entire purchase experience was fantastic. We had a very short amount of time to find a home and move in. Eldon was extremely responsive to our questions and concerns. We really appreciated his experience and knowledge of Keowee Key. His insights and recommendations throughout the buying process were so accurate and helped us immensely. We did everything remotely from out of state and it went very smooth with Eldon. He also provided many referrals to people we needed to get the sale done that worked out very well. Eldon goes beyond the call and he is the best realtor we have worked with across multiple states and houses we have bought and sold over the past 30 years.
Jim Penn
Extremely satisfied, a definite 5 star rating. He'd be my agent for any other property I wanted sold. Great guy to work with.
Patrick Hull
Great experience very prompt and informative
Patrick Wheeler
Our experience with Eldon was that he went the extra mile every time. We asked him to help us multiple times as we were sight unseen buyers. We had walked through a few other condos months earlier with no luck on purchasing. Eldon stayed diligent and we finally got exactly what we were looking for. He was not only our real estate agent but we now consider him a great friend. Thank you Eldon
Scott Robirds
Eldon was extremely helpful in helping me find a rare lot in a particular neighborhood. He developed a program that continually searched the MLS listing for the parameters I was looking for. Over the past couple years, a few became available that were identified by the program and gave me an early shot at bidding. Recently we were successful in closing on the perfect lot. Had it not been for Eldon's experience and perseverance I'm sure I'd still be looking!
Scott R Robirds
My wife and I had been looking for years for a particularly rare type of lot in a local community. We chose Eldon Blust of Allen Tate Realtors to help us with that search. To have quick access to these lots as they became available, Eldon developed a daily MLS search routine that allowed early exposure to candidate lots. This resulted in finding several lots over the years that ultimately led to our recent closing. I'm convinced we'd still be looking for our lot had we chosen another agent.
Donald J Cronin
We enjoyed working with Eldon in our property search . He was very helpful and responsive . We would highly recommend him for your real estate needs.
Mark H Nelson
Eldon listened closely to understand our goals and then worked effectively and diligently to help us accomplish all tasks required. Appreciate the quick and accurate response to all questions.

Jody Mallia
Eldon was very professional and we were very satisfied working with Eldon, from start to finish he kept us informed and updated with everything along the way. We would recommend Eldon to others. Thank you so much Eldon for everything! We will miss you
Stan and Pat Amstutz
We appreciated all Eldon did for us. Buying a house from long distance isn't easy but Eldon showed us it could be done in two months. We love our new house.
Agnes Launer
