R. Steve Metcalf
Steve Metcalf entered the land business in Spartanburg, SC in 1971. During a time when real estate brokerage was an opportunistic business he made the decision to build a company that specialized in land sales. Over forty years later, the Metcalf Land Company is still a small, family owned company specializing in the sale of acreage, farms, timberlands and recreational properties. The many contacts and relationships developed over the years have allowed the company to assist in the disposition and development of many thousands of acres of Upstate South Carolina land. Earning trust and respect from both the client and the customer while engaging in tense negotiations is difficult, yet immensely rewarding. Successfully accomplishing this over hundreds of land transactions while still looking forward to the next sale that wasn’t supposed to happen is what will keep Steve coming back for another forty years.

Cameron Massey
My name is Cameron Massey and I was born and raised in the upstate of South Carolina. I obtained my Bachelors in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology from Clemson University with a minor in Forest Resource Management. Soon after I attended NC State University where I achieved my Master of Science in Forestry. Here, my work focused on the optimization of timberland value.
I spent my first two years out of school in the forestry field, cruising & appraising timber tracks, preparing and completing timber sales. I wrote tree farm management plans, and completed prescribed burns for landowners. I also had the opportunity in managing large scale pine planting projects. I obtained my real estate license because I enjoy meeting new people and advising methods to generate revenue from land, as well as obtain or sell it. I currently sit on the South Carolina Forestry Commissions Young Professionals Committee where I help with outreach, networking, and unifications of professionals across the industry.
In my free time I enjoy walking family land with my wife and two dogs, A German Shepard and German Wirehaired Pointer. We love to be outdoors whether we are fishing, hunting, camping, or even bird watching. We aim to serve the Lord in some way every day.
