Lane was great to work with and his attention to detail was impeccable. This was my 2nd time working with him in 3 years and I will continue to work with him in the future. His knowledge of the surrounding area helped me sell in about 24 hours. Job well done...!!!

My husband and I had an incredible experience working with Lane to buy our first home. As first time homebuyers, we were nervous, naive, and in need of a lot of guidance. Lane provided ample advice, patience, support, and commitment to finding us exactly what we were looking for. Personally, I felt very personally taken care of by Lane which eased my nerves meaningfully and made the process fun. I cannot say enough great things about Lane! He's the best!

I cannot recommend Lane enough! As a first time home buyer, my head was spinning thinking about all one needs to consider when purchasing a home. From getting pre qualified, viewing homes, submitting and negotiating offers, scheduling an inspection, through to the final walk through and signing, he was able to answer all our questions.
He was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we were looking at houses in, and taught my wife and I a lot about what to look for when walking through a home for the first time - many things I would not have thought to look for.
Lane was very attentive to our questions, offering phone calls, texts and scheduling showings at the last minute on a weekend. Getting to know Lane on a personal level, it was clear he cared about my wife and I through this process. We are confident we made the right choice in home and feel lucky to have chosen NextHome to work with.
It was always a pleasure to meet with Lane at a showing - we could walk into a home with confidence that we were making the best decision either way.
I would recommend working with Lane to anyone considering looking for a home and am looking forward to working with him again in the future.

Lane was fantastic to work with and I would highly recommend for any real estate transaction. His attention to detail and through answers to any questions we had put us at ease that we were making the right decisions. He was flexible with scheduling and always available to talk or text.

Our journey to find a home in the Columbus area took us about 5 months, and Lane was by our side every step of the way. He was always positive and very responsive to texts, emails, and phone calls. Lane enabled us to finally find the home that fulfilled our needs and checked off almost all of our wants on our "wish
list". We appreciate his honesty and integrity, and we can truly call Lane our friend.

Global Program Director
Lane did an incredible job in finding us our dream home, despite some significant challenges, namely us being based in the UK for a large period of the search, pre relocation to the US.

Lane always took the time to understand what we wanted and then delivered multiple options, he was always patient and remained in good spirits despite our sometimes demanding needs. Always ready with good, honest advice, he was an invaluable resource in our home search.

I would recommend Lane unequivocally and without hesitation, we now live in our dream home, in no small part due to his efforts.

Thanks Lane!

First Time Home Buyer
Lane was very intuitive, and after going through one house with me he knew exactly what I was looking for. He was always available when I needed anything, but never made me feel pressured. Above all else he sinceerly wanted to make sure we got the right house for me. Lane is very knowledgeable, and his attention to detail was beyond reproach. He also made sure I knew what to do every step of the way as a first time home buyer. There were a few critical points in the process, and he really went the extra mile to make those go smoothly. I highly reccomend Lane, and I could not be happier with his work!

When I was ready to search for a home in the Columbus area, I choose Lane on the recommendation of my daughter and son-in-law. Lane was very knowledgeable and friendly. I felt like he had my best interest at heart.

I would highly recommend Lane because of his professionalism and quick responsiveness. Choosing the right realtor is an important decision and I know I made the right choice with Lane!

Lane took special care to consider what was best for my family when searching for a home. In this hot housing market we had to open up what criteria we were willing to accept and Lane was very patient with the process. His motto was "the right home will feel right and be a natural fit for everyone." This approach took some pressure off and made home buying fun!

Lane did an amazing job helping us steal a gorgeous home in the Dublin Area. Super sharp and knows his stuff. We closed fast and coordinated everything around having a new baby.

Lane has been great to work with.

My wife and I met him during an open house which he hosted. Our first impression of him was that he was friendly and not pushy or overly eager to sell like other agents that we came across in the past.

As we are first time home buyers, Lane gave us a lot of advice and contacts to get us ready for the seller's market in Columbus. We probably visited more than 30 houses in total with Lane, from existing houses to new builds. We initially were unsure of our specific liking for location, size and types of house. He took the time to understand our price range and preference and made suggestion on houses that suit us or not.

When we finally decide on a house to put an offer, Lane was transparent in the process and helped us effectively communicate with the seller's agent about our concerns during the closing process. His expertise in the market, professionalism and drive helped us close our ideal house.

I would recommend Lane to other buyers/sellers.

Lane takes your search personally and listens to understand your needs and desires. He was also extremely helpful through the selling process. We had never sold a house before and he walked us through the process and was able to answer all of our questions. I highly recommend Lane to find your next house and to sell your current house. If you are seeking a realtor with personal touches Lane is your guy!

Architect
Let me preface this recommendation with I have had some sub par experiences with previous real estate agents in past transactions. We were moving across the country, and had very little knowledge of Columbus or the local housing market. Lane was very patient, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile every step of the way to educate us on the area and market through every step of the process.

Lane worked diligently and took us to tour over 50 properties until we found the perfect home for us (we were very picky). He put our needs first and foremost above all else, and he absolutely did not stop until he was confident we didn't only have a new home, we had OUR new home. I can't describe enough how invaluable he was to our relocation; looking back, I have no idea how we would have done it without him.

To summarize, just use Lane for your next sale or home purchase. He will make sure he does everything in his power to make sure you are happy.

I wish I had the option of greater than 5 stars, but I guess I will have to settle with typing what an awesome experience we had with Lane and the Next Home Experience team. My husband and I have worked with a few realtors in the past and we had no idea how awesome an agent could be until we met Lane. He was always professional, available to answer our many questions, provide unbiased advice and never led us in the wrong direction. He walked us through every step of the buying process and was so patient with us as we navigated through the difficult Columbus market. I will always recommend Lane to any family member or friend looking for a house in the Columbus area. Thank you, Lane!!!

Attorney
Lane helped a family sell a house out of a probate estate and did a fantastic job. He gave sound advice all the way through the process, from determining the bear minimum that needed to be done to fix the house up for a quick sale, to what list price would attract the most attention and lead to the quickest sale at the best price, to how to navigate the "request-for-remedy" stage of the negotiation. All along the way Lane was very professional and accessible, and he was willing to do whatever he could to make the process go as smoothly as possible. I'd definitely recommend Lane to assist you with your real estate transaction. I'm confident you will not be disappointed.

Lane was great to work with throughout the entire process. He sold my home in a very short amount of time and helped me negotiate a great purchase price on the new home I purchased. I would recommend Lane and Next Home to anyone in the market. Thanks Lane...!!!

Environmental Educator
Lane helped us find the perfect home. My fiance and I met with him a year ago in June for coffee, just to get some information on first time home buying. We told him we wouldn't be ready for another year at the soonest. He treated us with kindness and respect. When we met him again a year later he not only remembered us but assisted us in finding the perfect home with zero pressure. Lane is the perfect realtor for the first time home buyer. He's always a call or text away and keeps your wishlist in mind.

Lane Caviness took the time out of his schedule to teach my fiancé and I about first time home buying. We told him what we were and weren't looking for at the time. We alerted him that we were not yet ready to due to our busy schedule. His response was simply, "No problem! If you're ready, I'll be waiting". Over one year later we contacted him and he remembered all of our needs and wants. Shortly thereafter, he found us our perfect starter home! We recommend Lane to all first time home buyers. Thank you, Lane!

Lane was a consummate professional. He communicated regularly, and gave sound feedback on the houses we saw. He was open and honest when we looked at properties, and we trusted his advice.

He was patient and accommodating to our housing needs, and we eventually found the perfect fit!

We have used Lane for 2 buys and 1 sell. He helped get us top dollar for our sell and was ever so patient when we looked at dozens of homes until we found the perfect home. We would use him again if we ever decide to move again !
