I would highly recommend Carol Smith for any of your real estate ventures. She is very ambitious and will do everything necessary to meet all of your real estate needs. Her communication is great. Advertising is great. She goes above and beyond. She sold my condo when nobody else could.

Thank you Carol Smith.

Carol was always available for us, taking great care over several years to guide our family through every step of the home buying process. Carol is extremely knowledgeable with helpful market insights, golden intuition and industry wisdom about properties. We could not have had a more kind, capable, respectful and business oriented real estate agent to walk with us through every home tour until we completed the final walked through of our desired property. The Armstrong family is truly grateful for Carol, she is exceptional. We will make certain to choose her for any future home/property buying needs.

Carol explained the process of selling a house and she supplied information about how other properties in the same neighborhood had been selling and she estimated the amount the property would sell for within those parameters. She maintained contact during the process so that I would know when the property was being shown. I received regular reports about the number of showings and the customer ratings of the property. She consulted with me several times about revising the strategy for attracting customers when attention waned. The result was a successful closing in November after being on the market for only 4 months.

If you need to buy or sell a home, I highly recommend Carol Smith / Next Home Realty. She was efficient and knowledgeable about any and everything that I needed to know and extremely patient with me! She was available within minutes if I had any questions (even when she was on vacation.) Carol helped make what seemed to me to be a stressful time (selling my mother's home) into a positive experience...
Thank You, Carol

Carol helped us through lots of difficulty in the housing market. She made sure we had viewings anytime we asked, and she helped us keep moving forward when deals fell through. We were lucky we had Carol throughout our process. We are in a home we absolutely love.

If you plan to sell your house, call Carol! This was my first time to sell in 47 years and Carol met with me several times about my goals for the house, provided me the forms and information needed, kept up with every detail in the process, and was always available to answer questions. She saw to having publicity and pictures on the realtors' site as soon as possible and made sure the attractive yard sign and information brochures were available the first day. There was an offer on the second day of showing and my house has sold! Carol provided information as we approached the closing and attended with me. It was a pleasure to work with her.....she is friendly, with a warm smile, always on time, and knows her field well.

Carol is amazing! I reached out to her when I initially found out we were moving to a new campus a year and half ago. She stuck with me through delays in contruction and delays due to COVID. I was working and had to do a few tours including the tour for the home I purchased via video recording. She pointed out anything she thought would be a problem and went above and beyond to make sure I got a home I would be happy with. We did the final walkthrough yesterday which was my first time seeing the house in person. Everything was perfect. She really treats you like a good friend or family member.

Exceptional service, from the beginning to the end, was extended to me by Carol and her daughter, Cassidy. Both Carol and Cassidy were responsive, availed themselves to showings, and prompt in answering questions irrespective of the hour or day of the week. While I'm cognizant that I wasn't the only client, the service made me feel as though I was.

Because of the exemplary service, I will reach out to Carol with any prospective purchasing or selling needs!

She is awesome! I could go on and on about how much I appreciate her and her help. She is just great. I definitely recommend her. She was very helpful with suggestions, resources, and so much more. Coming in as new buyer I had no clue about anything she was definitely there as a helping hand. And made it happen. I love her.

Carol and her partner,Garth, handled a very intriguing house and property that also had a lot of idiosyncrasies through a sales period encompassing both winter and Covid-19. They were most personable and creative in their approach and handled the limited number of truly interested clients with professionalism and good humor.

They stayed on top of it and there was no slack in either their attentiveness or focus on details.

Carol was wonderful to work with. She helped us buy an investment house and was always spot on when we wanted to look at a listing. She completed a market on my home and is helping us to find our dream home. I highly recommend her. She pays attention to detail and is always responsive to our questions and needs.

Carol was so patient and kind during the sale of our home and the purchase of the new one. Any hurdles we had to jump she was right there with us. She gave strong and valid advice each time we approached her with something. I highly recommend her and Next Home for all your home selling or purchase needs.

Carol and her staff at NextHome Custom Realty did an outstanding job of marketing and selling our home. We had offers within days, even though we were in a battle against a pandemic. Thanks to their diligence and hard work we were able to get our home sold during some very trying times.

Buyer
Carol was great to work with! As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions and Carol always took the time to answer them completely and make sure we were absolutely comfortable with what was happening throughout the entire purchasing process. We 100% recommend her!

Carol went above and beyond in helping me find a home. The search took most of a year and involved looking at many properties, often several on the same day. Several times I made offers and Carol helped me through the reams of associated paperwork, only to have things fall through. She was always cheerful and patient.

Client
Carol is very knowledgeable and competent in the Franklin county market. She sold our land amidst incredible problems and setbacks external to the sale. I had no transportation so Garth took me to closing (30 mile trip) and brought a bag of dog food for my pets. They are still sorting out the situation I left there after moving. I made my money in real estate and have never worked with a realtor as kind and helpful as Carol -- and her realtor husband Garth.

Carol was wonderful to work with. She was quick to act when we found our home and wanted to put in a bid. Our home is a renovation loan and took quite sometime to close with several extensions needed. Carol stayed on top of everything, keeping us all on track. I cannot express how grateful we are to her for always answering our questions no matter what, explaining things to us (how the process works), and always being patient and kind. What a wonderful experience we had buying our first home! We are so blessed to have met Carol and worked with her during this process!

Carol is a pleasure to talk to and work with. She listens to what you really want and need, and helped me over the course of several months to make sure I was looking at, and ultimately purchasing, the exact property that fit my needs the best. She does not hesitate to do research and gather information, answer any questions you have, and she was always available even when I thought she wouldn't possibly be working. Carol is quick to respond, REALLY listens, makes you feel that she is on your side as a partner, and she makes you feel that your needs and decisions are the most important thing to her.
