• Selecting A Home—Every home buyer is different. Tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll get to work finding it. Not only do we search the local Multiple Listing Service, but we also work with many potential sellers whose homes are not yet on the market. Our in-depth knowledge of schools, neighborhoods and home sale history will be indispensable.

• Price And Negotiations—As your Buyer’s Agent, we will give you the comparable information you need in order to make the best offer. Our strong negotiating skills will give you a valuable advantage.

• • Finalizing The Sale—Sometimes home sales fall apart after going under contract. We work hard to make sure that doesn’t happen to our clients. Utilizing an experienced and licensed full-time Closing Coordinator, we will handle dozens of details simultaneously in a timely and efficient manner.

Our Services

• Proven Success—Nobody sells more residential real estate in Anderson County than we do. With nearly $24 million sold in 2014 alone, we’re the highest volume team in all of Anderson County!

• Experience And Knowledge—After working with almost 2,000 satisfied home buyers, we will help you avoid costly mistakes and work to make your home buyer experience a smooth one.

• Get The Whole Team—Highly organized, efficient and technologically advanced, our systems and dedicated team members provide you and your family with the highest level of service that is simply not available through a single agent.

• • Professionalism—We approach real estate as a full time profession, not a part time hobby. You can count on our high level of integrity, promptness and confidentiality.
