Shelly knows the Savannah market very well - very important in a sellers market. She is very responsive and will do whatever is required to assist her clients in finding the perfect home. We had a very unique deal and she guided the contract process very well. Highly recommend Shelly.
Shelly was an excellent guide to the Savannah area for me. I came here needing to find a home immediately and Shelly was on it right away. She knows the area as a lifelong resident, so there’s probably no question that she can’t answer. She’s responsive, engaging and hard working. My daughter actually recommended her after buying a house with her so I figured she would be good. She’s really GREAT and I would say if you need a realtor here, look no further than Shelly LaMonica.
Shelly was very knowledgeable of the area; her tour through the area was like nothing else I have experience; it was a great experience. We enjoyed working with Mrs. Shelly, and I would recommend her to family, friends, and anyone looking to buy a great home in the market right now. Thank you Shelley
Having not been able to meet Shelly until well into the buying process, she was great at getting me information, knowing what I wanted, but also letting me know what else might be out there that was different from my initial criteria. Overall I enjoyed working with Shelly and she got me into my new home very quickly and with little fuss. The only reason I did not give 5 stars on negotiation is because there wasn't much price movement at all from asking to closing. It is entirely possible that is more a result of market forces than anything else, but it's hard to know for sure.
Shelly is the best! She really cares about her clients and you can tell. She always answers emails and texts promptly, makes you aware of both the good and bad in the houses she shows, and is very knowledgeable about the area. She will go to bat for you and try her best to get you the best deal on your dream home! She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our purchase even once we'd signed on the house. I highly recommend her!
Shelly is a delight to work with! The home buying process was totally new to us, and she made it a breeze. She truly takes time to understand her clients and is incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Shelly went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our new home and that everything’s went smoothly, she truly is passionate about helping people find the right place and would often point out things we hadn’t considered! I trust her completely and certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a home.
My husband and I live on the West Coast but have been visiting Savannah for more than 15 years together to visit family. We had been dreaming of a second home in downtown Savannah for a few years and finally decided to make the jump in late February 2020 right before the COVID wave hit the market. We arranged a quick trip to Savannah and connected with Shelly. She was efficient with understanding what we were looking for and we decided quickly what properties we would tour over two days in Savannah. Within six weeks we closed on a 2 BR/ 2 BA condo. We couldn’t be happier! What we liked about working with Shelly: Being out-of-towners she helped us get up to speed on the downtown Savannah market quickly She didn’t waste our time and understood what properties to show us and arranged the tour efficiently Once we decided on a condo to bid on she helped us strategize on the right offer that fit our budget and helped us with negotiations when it came to a sticky counter situation She connected us with all the vendors we needed to complete the closing transaction (Closing attorney, local mortgage co, property managers, inspection company) Even after we were owners she continued to work on our behalf to get our keys to our property managers who she helped us find. Overall, we had a great experience with Shelly who made the whole process for us out-of-towners as smooth as it could be even when we couldn’t be around for the close (thanks to COVID) In closing, if you don’t live in Savannah and need a local guide to the market who can help you get smart and find a place efficiently, call Shelly!
What a great realtor Shelly is. We worked with her purchasing a property in the Historic District. We live in Winter Park, Florida and were interested in a Pied-a-Terre in Savannah. We found the one we wanted, but it was during the Covid Pandemic. That posed a special challenge since all had to be done remotely. Shelly assisted us each step of the way, making us feel like we were in Savannah during the process. I highly recommend Shelly to both local and distant clients.
Shelly was great to say the least!!! This was not my first home purchase but proved to be a trying process in a busy market and Shelly was with me every step along the way. Every time we needed to "start over" we did and she was always on top of things. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the area which was helpful because I have not lived here long. She quickly got to know me as a buyer and was more like a friend than a agent. If I had to do this again, it would be with Shelly :)
We were first time home buyers and we are so incredibly grateful that we found Shelly! She was amazing and went above and beyond to explain the complex and lengthy process of purchasing a home to us. She was always honest and patient with us throughout the entire process, plus was wonderful at communicating and keeping us in the loop, which can be hard to come by nowadays! We are so, so happy in our new place and we will definitely be recommending her to our friends when they get started looking for houses.
We were extremely lucky to get Shelly as a realtor. We have visited Savannah from Minnesota for 15 years and have dreamed of purchasing our retirement-forever home in Savannah. When we decided to actually start looking at houses, Shelly was ready with several houses to show us when we visited on short notice during holiday time; including an amazing Victorian that was not currently on the market. She very quickly understood the style house we were interested, and talked us through the current market and options that were expected to be available. She was very responsive to us as we asked numerous questions and inquired about other property options. She was very knowledgeable of the Savannah market, and her instincts were right on with what offer we needed to make once that awesome Victorian came back on the market. We would have missed out on our dream house if it was not for her knowledge, diligence and advocacy for us as buyers to get the house we wanted. I don’t think we would have ever been able to even think about purchasing a house without being geographically in the area, but Shelly proved to be a “one shop stop”, and helped us navigate every step of the purchasing process. She took care of the inspection company, recommended a mortgage company who could recommend insurance agents, and even got us a painting quote. She followed up each step of the sales process, checking on and following through with the mortgage company as needed. She minimized our stress of the process of purchasing a home from out of town, and the effort continued after the sale as she recommended the perfect property management company to rent and maintain our dream property until we can move there permanently. Heck, she even setup to have a piece of furniture we purchased online delivered to the house. Thanks to Shelly, someday our winters will be much warmer in our amazing home in beautiful Savannah!
I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about my relationship with Shelly as my buying agent in Savannah! This was a very big move for me as I had lived in Atlanta my entire life. Although I have family in Savannah and I graduated from GA Southern University (years ago!), this was still unchartered waters for me and a bit scary. She made the looking/search process fun, she is extremely detail oriented and she is literally on top of every single detail! Always two steps ahead! I am a highly organized person who thrives on "order", so working with someone like Shelly (for something this important!) was truly a blessing and a God send. She made the entire process from start to finish as fun, exciting and educational as it could possibly be. I would not hesitate to highly, highly, highly recommend and refer Shelly!
