When we decided to sell our home, we called Alicia Tankersley. From the initial meeting to the day of closing, Alicia and her team were awesome! Their professionalism and knowledge were impressive. Before we listed, the stager and photographer were brought in to help us make our house a true showplace. We worked hard getting things ready, and Alicia was there to help and support us. Our listing went live on a Thursday, the Open House was held on a Sunday, and we had two full price offers on Monday! Alicia is a hard working, caring, and involved realtor. She really listens and does everything she can to help get the best price for your home. During a stressful time of upheaval and change, Alicia was there to offer support and a calming influence. We are now in our new home, and we could never have done it this quickly without Alicia and her team. We will definitely recommend Alicia to anyone who plans to sell their home - she's the best! read more

Alicia Tankersley was an angel in need for my brother and I. You can absolutely trust every commitment and task she handles will be done correctly and on time. With her help, we got the house repaired, updated, painted and listed in half the time we expected. Two signed offers above listing in the first weekend, even after she suggested we up the listing price $25K above a typical cut-off buyer searching amount. My brother lives in TX and I'm almost 4 hours away in AL from our mother's home. When she finally decided to move, it was sudden and she wanted to sell the house as quickly as possible. We expected it would take us till about July 4th to tackle the stuffed house, replace carpet, repaint walls, and make repairs. Alicia to the rescue! She was worth every single penny of her commission. She recommended contractors and facilitated repairs, arriving to let workers in, and locking up afterwards. She assured us we could and should target Memorial Weekend, instead...a month earlier. It would simply not have happened without her. We had two signed contracts before the holiday was over. The second was a backup couple, both above listing offers. And thank goodness she did so, as the first couple ended up dropping out after a few weeks. We closed yesterday...June 21. Two weeks before we originally thought we could get it listed. Alicia was extremely communicative and responsive, using Txts for timeliness and email for official documents. She confidently provided sage advice and recommendations whenever we felt in unknown territory. She handled 'remote signatures' and offers to pick up mother for signing. And, she handled some of our most critical time events, we found out later, from Colorado while on vaca, without any indication of impacting her time or lack of availability. Money already in mom's account. Cha Ching! THANK YOU ALICIA!!! read more

I would like to say that I liked my realtor on a personal level BUT not as a realtor. I found her on Zillow. Being a 1st time home buyer, I didn't know what questions to ask or how to properly choose a realtor. I reached out to her at the end of March & she had a very quick response time, which was consistent throughout the time that we worked together. She provided me a few preferred lenders & set me up on their portal. I was not able to find much I was interested in so I decided to leverage other search tools such as Zillow, Trulia, etc. Once she determined that I was using other sites, she stated that I should stick to their portal as it is more accurate. This was a bit discouraging for me b/c I didn't see much on their portal that I liked. When I was able to find homes via the portal, most were no longer available as well. We went out to view homes on 3 occasions. She wanted me to have at least 7 homes before we went out. This could be the reason why everything was no longer available as it took me a while to get to 7 homes. We saw 3 homes the 1st outing & none interested me enough to make an offer. On the 2nd outing we looked at 2 places & I was interested in both. She said I could submit 2 offers which was the plan but she basically switched up the plan & stated she didn't want to deal with one of the realtors so I should just make an offer on the other property. In her defense, I did like this one better & it was a lot cheaper. I offered asking price. She came back w/ their counter offer which was for me to pay an additional $5k over asking just for them to cover $5k towards CC which didn't cover full closing cost. Additionally, they wanted me to up my ernest from $1k to $2k. I was not happy as I feel my realtor did not do any negotiation on my behalf. Moving along, I just accepted b/c I wanted the property. We went under contract & my realtor informs me that sellers forgot to mention that they want to choose the closing attorney. She down played it & sent me an amendment to sign. This too upset me & I expressed it to my realtor & she stated it was just an honest mistake that they forgot to mention. Once again, I agree to amend w/ a clause for them to cover price difference. Now inspection time comes & she refers me to a company. The owner of the inspection company calls me & I explain to him that i want to be present for inspection. I paid in advance & the company did the inspection prior to my availability. When I reached out to the owner of the company after finding out the inspection was done hours before I was suppose to show up, the guy was very rude & told me he was going to talk to me like his child. I found this comment to be not only unprofessional but DISRESPECTFUL!!! This is at no fault to my realtor although she is the person who referred me to the company. Based off the inspection results, there were about 5 out of 20 items that I wanted them to address. Sellers only offered $1k towards repairs which they later changed to $2k after they were sent a repair estimate for $7500. My realtor asked if I was really going to walk away from deal over an AC unit. She even offered to use a portion of her commission to put towards replacing the unit if the listing agent would do the same. Nice gesture but obviously, the other realtor was not having it. I did walk away from this home as I felt like I wad pulling teeth to get them to sell to me. I do not think my realtor did a great job & I lost out on a property that I really liked. On the 3rd outing I found a property & submitted an offer $5k less than asking. Per my realtor, their counter was 'we would like asking...' I asked my realtor about her negotiation strategy & she stated she only told them I was a good buyer. I called her out on her lack of effort & why she didn't use comparative market analysis as apart of her negotiation, she stated that's not how it works & opted to terminate our agreement. Moral of the story: All realtors are NOT created equally. read more
