It was a pleasure working with Kate throughout this process. Although the buyer was unreasonable and at times extremely difficult to please, Kate never waivered, stood her ground when she knew she was right. She brought in subcontractors to repair a couple of minor discrepancies and saw the deal through to fruition while shielding me, the seller, from having to deal with a difficult buyer. I would have no reservations about working with Kate again in the future.
Debbie helped to calm our nerves during the process and listened to our needs and concerns. She was patient and caring throughout. Thank you, Debbie!

We had an excellent experience working with our real estate agent Shirley McAllister during the sale of our home. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional.

Shirley's knowledge of the local real estate market was impressive. She provided valuable insight into pricing, market conditions, buyer expectations, and the best strategy for positioning our home. Her recommendations were practical and proved to be very helpful in achieving a successful sale. We were especially impressed with Shirley's negotiation skills. She represented our interests extremely well, remained calm and strategic throughout the negotiations, and worked hard to achieve the best possible outcome for us. Shirley was professional, organized, reliable, and genuinely committed to making the process as smooth as possible. We always felt that our home sale was in capable hands. Overall, we are very happy with the experience and would highly recommend Shirley to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Janie listened to what I wanted, price points, lot size, etc. and took a lot of care to send me exactly what I was looking for as my buyers agent. She was also my selling agent and demonstrated the utmost professionalism. She also pulled out the bells and whistles from amazing pictures to great marketing materials, and even supplying booties to protect our home while being shown. We had challenging buyers and she handled them professionally while looking out for our best interest. I couldn’t be more happy with the experience on both the selling side and buying side. If you want things to go smooth and stress free, I would recommend using her.

My wife and I recently purchased a home in Bear with Dave's help. The market was tight at the tie we were looking. We put bids in a few homes that were unsuccessful. Dave helped us weather that process and eventually we found our forever home. It really pays having a real estate agent that has lots of experience. Dave checks that box. Not only did he know the area well, he knew about builders and build quality, possible renovation ideas, and pitfalls of the homes we looked at. He always answered our questions, at sometimes ungodly hours, and even post-settlement, was still there for us. Because of his long-term experience, he has forged relationships with many other realtors, and this relationship with our seller's agent no doubt helped insure our candidacy for a house which was sure to get competitive bidding, given our contingency sale on our other home which was pending. Dave is a stand-up guy, who is super busy but always found time for us. We look forward to sharing our renovation results with him. You'd be wise to use Dave Watlington as your selling or buying agent. He's the best!

There is no other partner I would want by my side when purchasing my dream house. There were in predictable “bumps” in the process on the sellers side that would derail other agents, but Brenda was beside us every step of the way. Her excellent communication and empathy helped us manage the situation and partnered with us to ensure we understood every step of the process and at the end of the road we achieved our goals. I wouldn’t take that ride with anyone else. Brenda is the best!

I would recommend Dianne to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. She is very knowledgeable in her profession. I case was slightly different pertaining to the decision of selling. She is very caring and understands her clients. She also provided contact information for movers, contractors and painters-all of whom provided excellent service.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Angela Allen since 2015, and there is truly no one I trust more with my real estate needs. Over the years, she has helped me buy and sell homes for both myself and my parents, and every single experience has been exceptional. Her knowledge, professionalism, and calm guidance have made complex transactions feel effortless. What sets Angela Allen apart is her genuine care for clients—she listens, anticipates needs, and advocates fiercely to ensure the best possible outcome. My family and I are grateful for her consistency, integrity, and dedication. If you want a realtor who treats you like family and delivers results every time, look no further.
