Put simply, we’ve never before experienced a real estate service level like Michelle delivered. We’ve been in our fair share of real estate transactions over our lifetime, but we haven’t enjoyed... Read more paying a real estate commission more than we did when Michelle led us to the close on our lake life dream. She’s a powerhouse on her own, but she’s not alone. In the tight lakefront Lanier market, her determination and competence shined as she delivered a contract win in a competitive bid. In a short due diligence window she amazed us with the expert relationships she had at the ready to get us the answers we needed to make smart decisions fast. Michelle added tremendous value as our champion, and was worth every dollar of commission (something we haven’t gotten to say in the past). We’re very grateful.
Teresa and Mackenzie helped us sell our family home on Lake Lanier, a house our parents built and handed down to us. It was very personal and they handled our... Read more process with a wonderful combination of grace and professionalism. The house carried a price point lower than most of their listings but I never had the sense that they worked any less on our behalf. From beginning to end, they were proactive, communicative, and responsive; in short, they worked hard! Their specialization (and rootedness) on Lake Lanier is also extremely helpful. We appreciated their counsel on all aspects of the sale. Finally, we had to address questions about the foundation and structural integrity of the house. Teresa brought in trusted contractors she's used before to answer our questions well. Teresa and Mackenzie are really good people, we enjoyed working with them, and we'd hire them again! (And we'd recommend them to family and friends.)
Michele was amazing throughout our entire home buying process. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped us understand every step of the way! We would highly recommend Michele for both buying... Read more and selling a home.
