Jill Botos

Jill Botos is a trusted real estate agent with Lake Homes Realty, specializing in lakefront and lifestyle properties across Lake Hartwell (GA & SC), Richard B. Russell Lake (GA & SC), Clarks Hill Lake, Strom Thurmond Lake, Lake Keowee and Lake Yonah. Each of these lakes has its own nuances—some are Army Corps of Engineers lakes, while others are power company lakes—and the rules and regulations can vary widely. Want a big water view or a quiet, protected cove? Jill can find it. Prefer to be closer to the highway or tucked away in nature? Jill can help with that, too. Need a dock, or would you rather enjoy a pristine, untouched shoreline? Consider it done. Jill’s deep understanding of these differences allows her to expertly match clients with the perfect lake for how they want to live, play, and enjoy their personal slice of paradise.

Licensed in both Georgia and South Carolina, Jill combines local insight, market expertise, and a passion for lake living to help clients navigate the unique world of lake real estate with confidence and ease.

Born in Inkster, Michigan, Jill quickly found her way to Georgia, where she grew up in a suburb outside of Atlanta. After her previous company was bought out, Jill transitioned from senior management in the insurance software industry to real estate, where she discovered her true passion.

Jill started her real estate career in 2006, focusing on selling homes on Clarks Hill Lake. She received valuable mentorship that shaped her approach to selling homes and negotiating deals. Today, Jill knows the lakes in her market area like the back of her hand, making her a go-to expert for buyers and sellers alike.

Jill's expertise has not gone unnoticed. She has received the Aqua Award from Lake Homes Realty seven years in a row, from 2019 through 2025. She also holds designations as an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR) and Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA).

Jill and her husband Rick, along with their three dogs and two cats, enjoy the beauty of the lakes year-round. Whether it's boating, camping, or simply soaking in the natural surroundings, Jill's love for the lake lifestyle is evident in both her personal and professional life.

Jill values the family atmosphere at Lake Homes Realty, where agents support one another, sharing strategies and tips for success. This collaborative environment allows Jill to provide exceptional service to her clients, helping them achieve their dream of lake living.
