Jessica was absolutely amazing. We had a very short timeline for our move, and she helped us find our dream home. Within 72 hours of our initial meeting, we placed an offer on a home, and it was accepted! Can't recommend her and her team enough. She went the extra mile and made sure we had everything we needed, even after closing. Jessica is the best!
Always new what to expect next in the process.
Ali did a great job and being patient with me as I juggled several rollercoasters throughout the process. She was also so knowledgeable and provided great insight. It was a great experience and I couldn’t be more thankful to have her by my side through this process.
Michelle Creamer truly went above and beyond for me throughout my home search. She personally visited every property I was interested in—and many others she felt I should consider—because I lived more than four hours away and work full-time. I simply didn’t have the luxury of jumping in the car and driving across town every time a property came on the market. When I finally found the home I wanted, Michelle went to the negotiating table armed with knowledge, experience, and determination. She negotiated a deal that exceeded anything I could have hoped for. Michelle is exceptionally well-versed in real estate and is an outstanding negotiator. Most importantly, she always has her client’s best interests at heart. She will tell you honestly when it’s time to walk away and when it’s worth stepping up and making the deal happen. This weekend, Michelle and her team helped me complete the purchase of a home I had never even set foot in. And when I finally walked through the door, I was completely enchanted. Was it my perfect home? No—and I never expected it to be. But I got exactly what I wanted, and I am incredibly happy with my new home. I truly could not have done this without Michelle and her team. Their dedication, expertise, honesty, and willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference. I am incredibly grateful for everything they did to make this experience possible.
Laura has excellent communication skills, knows the real estate market well, and will not let you purchase something that she herself would not live in or allow one of her children to live in. She listens to your preferences and searches for the perfect home/neighborhood. She takes into consideration your physical, mental, and emotional needs so she can find the best home and location available to meet those needs. Her negotiation skills are phenomenal and thinks of things that would never cross your mind. I wouldn't use anyone other than Laura Jelks when looking for a home.
Vickie made us feel like we were her only clients - she was honest, thorough and always there for us. She didn't try to talk us in or out of anything - but made sure we were fully informed when making such big decisions.
She has a lot of attention to detail and has a good eye for what to look for, and not look for, in a home.
Elizabeth was always on top of things. Her experience in realty really showed as she made sure we were aware of what was needed from us and what was expected from the seller. Communication was fantastic. Always received a quick response. We felt blessed to have had Elizabeth in our corner.
Whitney from the very beginning of the process was enthusiastic and willing to help in any area that she could! On our first call she spent 30 or so minutes just asking me questions about myself, wants, needs, and potential future plans. At first i wasn't sure why but as we got further into the home searching process it all made sense. As we looked through each house she would point out things for me to consider that were fits or non-fits based on that first call we had. It just showed how much attention to detail she puts into knowing her clients. This helped me to better focus on what houses to go see and what to pass on. Then as we toured the homes she was extremely knowledgeable and was able to communicate effectively. Once we finally found the home for me well Whitney kicked it into high gear and made the closing process extremely easy all things considered. She helped me find inspectors, schedule appointments, and review everything we got back. Then she made sure to stay in contact with me on everything that I needed to get done so on day of closing it finalized without a hitch. Let me tell you it worked! I couldn't imagine working with anyone other than Whitney.
Virginia is the absolute best agent to have. She always has her client's best interest in mind. What I love most about Virginia is her attention to detail in every aspect of the home buying process. She is always available to answer questions in a timely manner.
