Luis Rodriguez recommends Rebecca Kirkwood

Rebecca made our first home purchase became a long dream come true. She really cares about your best interest as a purchaser. Her recommendations after viewing several homes landed us in our dream home!! She was very patient and never did we once feel she was pushing us to purchase. She guided us through the whole process and made us feel so comfortable. Finding us our dream home with her experience and professionalism really is what made this happen. Highly recommend and highly appreciated her. Ty from the Rodriguez family ??

Very competent realtor. Helped me (first time buyer) tremendously from start to finish, entirely dedicated to my needs and concerns. Always reachable, very friendly and sincere, and took detailed notes. Stayed up to date on timelines and communication throughout. Great experience, would recommend to everyone.

Zachary Pruitt recommends Melissa Bretagna

Melissa was fantastic! She helped my wife, Katie, and I find an amazing townhouse and walked with us every step of the way! We were new to the home buying process and were nervous buying our first house. Melissa was very attentive and extremely accommodating throughout the whole journey. We definitely had something specific in mind when we started looking, but with Melissa's help we were able to quickly find the perfect place! Would definitely recommend her to anyone uneasy about purchasing their first home!

Rebecca King recommends Rebecca Kirkwood

Very Satisfied Customer!

I wish I could put higher than 5 stars as Rebecca Kirkwood met and exceeded my expectations!
I met her randomly through Zillow for the home I wanted to look at but I liked her so much that I asked her to list my home to sell as well. I signed her up on Thursday and she was able to get a professional photographer to my home the next day on Friday (and she paid for him). He had easy recommendations to make my home photograph well and he did a fabulous job.
Rebecca had the photos posted and my home listed on Saturday and by Monday I had home tours scheduled. She had a full offer on the table by Wednesday!! Rebecca was so professional and very responsive and she gave me great tips throughout the entire process. She has been a friend to me through this whole time and even now that both homes have closed she has continued to quickly respond to any questions I have. She is a jewel and I highly recommend that you use her as your realtor!

Christian Monsalve recommends Justin Shinko

As first time home buyers, my mom and I were excited, but nervous about the home buying process. Given I live outside of South Carolina, I knew I needed to find a realtor that could accommodate my busy schedule while making sure my mom felt comfortable throughout the process. Justin came into the picture in November when I was introduced to him through a family member.

Since my first interaction with Justin, he has surpassed all expectations by a mile. To me, Justin is the definition of a consummate professional. He is detail-orientated, extremely meticulous, and creates such a stress-free and low-pressure environment. Justin accommodated both my mom's schedule as well as mine, even conducting showings for us during the holidays. Justin is also exceptionally responsive - no matter what time of day, Justin would always answer any questions I had, took the time to explain anything I did not understand, and would even take my calls late at night. He even got us a stellar rate that is unheard of in this current rate environment!

The thing that stands out the most to be about Justin is how personable he is. Justin was so easy going, reliable and makes you feel like family. He was so great to work with!

This is all to say that I highly recommend Justin! Justin should be everyone's go-to realtor in the Upstate! I cannot say enough good things about Justin and cannot wait to work with him again in the future! Thank you, Justin for taking care of my mom and I and helping us find an amazing home!

We LOVED working with Naz! She truly cared about making this process seamless for us. She was very honest about houses that wouldn’t be great for our family. Would recommend Naz to anyone looking for a home!

Nisarg recommends Justin Shinko

As first-time homebuyers, my spouse and I had the pleasure of working with Justin who truly made our journey into homeownership a seamless and enjoyable experience.

One of the things we liked best was his lack of pushiness. Justin took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and budget, ensuring that every property aligned with our vision. His patient and understanding demeanor created a low-pressure environment, allowing us to make decisions at our own pace.

What truly set Justin apart was his willingness to accommodate our busy schedules. Both my spouse and I are professionals with demanding jobs, making it challenging to dedicate extensive time to house hunting during regular hours. Justin not only recognized this but also went above and beyond to work around our availability. He scheduled viewings, meetings, and discussions at times convenient for us, making the entire process stress-free.

Additionally, Justin demonstrated a high level of professionalism and provided valuable insights into the local real estate market.

Santiago Lopez recommends Justin Shinko

Justin was absolutely amazing! He helped my parents through the process of both selling their old home and purchasing their dream home. The process was so easy and seamless and that’s all thanks to Justin and his amazing team! I would recommend Justin to anyone of my friends and family and feel confident that they will have the same experience we did!

Daniel Dees recommends Rebecca Kirkwood

Rebecca was very friendly and helped/guided through every step of the buying process and made it very easy to go through the steps of the homebuying process. Always available and very quick to respond. She handled the communication between me and the seller and organized all the necessary contractor services & repair requests for the seller to handle and was very quick with any feedback needed during the process.

Sarah Parris recommends Lochlan Adams

Lochlan Adams is more than realtor; he
became a friend to walk alongside me as I navigated selling my home. He made selling my house a cinch and was willing to do what it took to make sure it sold as quickly as possible. I appreciated his honesty and integrity. He went over and above. I highly recommend him if you are looking for someone who is more than a typical realtor wanting to make a dime!

Earlene Young recommends Lochlan Adams

Lochlan is a joy to be around. He shares his knowledge of the real estate market.
We actually have made him our adopted nephew.
He’s very thorough with any of paperwork required to close a property.
He also will come to show a property even though he may have been ready to do something else. Lochlan is an all around good guy. We wish him all the best.

Jon Spencer recommends Steven Pieper

When I contacted Steve when looking for a home, I was looking for someone that would be avaliable to my unique schedule. Steve didn't disappoint!!! I can't think of a time Steve was unavailable to show me a house or answer a text. Great communication, answered all of my questions on a professional level, even some personal questions. When I started this journey I was looking for a real-estate agent. I'd say after working with Steve, I've found a home and made a friend in the process.

Mrs. Jackson recommends Heather Winters

Heather Winters is an amazing real estate agent. I have so many great things to say about her but to keep this review short I will just speak about the most important qualities for this particular process. Firstly she’s available. Heather always answers her phone and texts, even outside of business hours. Secondly she is very knowledgeable. Any questions or concern I had she knew the answer right away. Thirdly she is so positive. A home buying process, especially for first time homebuyers, can be extremely stressful. Heather kept a positive outlook even when things didn’t seem promising. She always said “things will work itself out” and she was correct. Everything worked itself out. Thanks to Heather me my husband and I was able to purchase our first home in under 45 days. She walked us through the step and made it as easy as possible. I really appreciate her and she’s an amazing agent. 10 out of 10 stars for her.

Patrick Johnson recommends Ethan Shell

For this to be my first time selling a home, Ethan Shell and the Greater Home realtor group made it a smooth and very informative transaction. They kept me informed on everything that was happening with the sell and that meant a lot to me. At closing the support continued and i felt assured as well as confident in what took place. I would definitely use their services again.

Hannah recommends Justin Shinko

Teacher

As a first time homebuyer, I was very nervous about buying a home. Justin helped answer every question I had and was there for me during every part of the closing process. He always had an answer and never tried to sell me on any homes. He truly cares about his clients and wants them to find a home that fits their dreams. My friend referred him to me and I am so thankful for all his help. I will certainly be referring him to my friends as well. Thank you Justin!
