Chris Shelnut Joins Coldwell Banker Caine in Greenville

Coldwell Banker Caine has welcomed Chris Shelnut as a real estate agent in its Greenville office. With more than 10 years of real estate experience and 20 years in hospitality and private clubs, Shelnut brings a client-first approach focused on clear communication, attention to detail, and lasting relationships.

A longtime Upstate resident, Shelnut grew up in Spartanburg on Lake Bowen and attended Clemson University. He began his real estate career at The Cliffs Communities on Lake Keowee, working with buyers and sellers in one of the Upstate’s most sought-after lifestyle markets. Shelnut was recognized as a Top Sales Agent at The Cliffs in 2017 and 2023.

Before entering real estate, Shelnut held leadership roles in hospitality and private clubs as a Head Golf Professional, General Manager, and Director of Sales and Marketing. In those positions, he built a foundation in client experience, responsiveness, and relationship-building—strengths he now brings to every real estate transaction. 

“Chris has built a strong reputation by putting service first — and that kind of professionalism shows up in the details,” said Amanda Hamet, President of Coldwell Banker Caine. “His follow-through and steady leadership will be a real asset to our clients, and we’re excited to welcome him to Coldwell Banker Caine.”

“Chris knows the Upstate, and he knows how to take care of people,” added Lauren Buckland, Executive Vice President of Sales and Broker-in-Charge of Coldwell Banker Caine’s Greenville office. “He brings a high-touch, thoughtful approach that helps clients make confident decisions — and that’s exactly how we aim to serve our clients every day.”

“The Upstate has been home for most of my life, and I love helping people find the right place within it,” said Shelnut. “I’ve always believed the experience matters as much as the outcome — clear communication, trusted guidance, and putting the client first — and I’m honored to bring that approach to Coldwell Banker Caine.”
