Thank you so much! A lot of people ask, "how do you know if you've gotten a good realtor"? Well, you will find out immediately and you just know. She went above and beyond to make this experience a great one, and I highly recommend her services. I'm proud to say we made a friend as well as realtor. Keep up the good work my friend and God speed.

She truly is a real estate expert with extensive knowledge and experience in the South Charlotte housing market. In fact, she has had several closings in our exact neighborhood (Wilshire). Her attention to detail and her communication is stellar. She gave us helpful suggestions on clearing out items and staging our home, and even brought addition décor to ensure the entire home looked beautiful and inviting for photographs and showings. Danielle presented us with extensive research and options for the listing price of our home. She then went above and beyond the call of duty by meeting the appraiser at our home, armed with comps and detailed home and neighborhood information. The appraiser was impressed as no other agent had done that before. Our home appraised as expected and our closing went as planned with no delays. We highly recommend Danielle Edwards and would certainly use her again and/or refer our friends and family to use her as well.

We want to thank Danielle for everything she has done and continues to do for us. At the beginning…read moreof our home buying process we reached out to Danielle and several other realtors for an interview. She came into our meeting extremely prepared and showcased her expansive knowledge of the Charlotte housing market and the home buying process. Danielle was honest, upfront, and ensured us she would guide us through the stressful process of being first time homebuyers! After our interview it was clear she was the realtor we wanted to work with. After only looking at three houses we found the one! Knowing how fast houses can go in Charlotte, Danielle immediately sat down with us to prepare our offer letter and explain the next steps. This took a few hours and we left feeling excited, confident, and knowledgeable. With multiple offers already on the house we knew Danielle was going to get the job done - and she did! In the weeks leading up to closing Danielle was available to answer any of our questions, no matter how many questions we asked or what time it was. She took the time to handle things like setting up our home inspection and going through the report with us and setting up appointments for contractors to come out and give us estimates on upgrades and repairs. She checked in often and made sure we were ahead of schedule for any tasks we needed to complete. She made home buying a fun, exciting, and stress free. We felt confident going into closing because of all of the hard work, care, and time she put in. Even now, after closing, Danielle checks in on us, provides recommendations for contractors, and follows up on any questions or concerns we have. She has truly gone above and beyond what we ever expected of a realtor. We couldn't have done this without Danielle and we would recommend her for anyone looking to buy or sell!

My first home sale experience with Ethan was nothing short of amazing. Knowledgeable and extremely…read morecompetent, the process was seamless!

I went from being hesitant to let go of my first estate purchase to maximizing at the top of the market, fueling my excitement about taking my real estate aspirations to the next level. I could not have selected a better realtor at a more perfect time. I highly recommend Ethan Wallace and plan to utilize him for my future real estate needs!

She offered to schedule appointments for me, she dealt with the closing agent and seller's agent, and she even assisted in researching information that my loan processors requested. She was really organized, efficient, and flexible through the whole process. I really can't say enough good things about her. As a first time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and she was always able to explain why things are done a certain way and what money needs to go where. I felt that she did a great job being my advocate during this process and never pressured me to buy. Even after the sale was completed, she has helped me navigate my home warranty and has emailed me just to see if things were going alright. Wendy is great at what she does and she's really fun to work with...highly recommend!

Your main takeaway from this review should be: I HAD A STELLAR EXPERIENCE AT STEPHEN COOLEY REAL…read moreESTATE WITH THE FABULOUS AND INCOMPARABLE SARAH LOFTIS!!! Read on for details. I am a first-time homeowner who started my home search on Zillow in the Summer of 2024. When I was ready to view properties, Zillow matched me with Sarah Loftis, the most outstanding real estate agent I could've asked for. When I was initially browsing, my schedule was slammed. She waited patiently for things to calm down and was sure to check on me periodically, not as an agent who was trying to get a sale from a client but as a human who cared about another human. Words cannot express how much that meant to me. When things calmed down, we started looking together. We saw probably eight to twelve properties together in total. Sarah was knowledgeable about each of the listings, the market, HOAs, etc. When she didn't know the answer, she would reach out to a colleague or partner to find the answer. When I finally found the property that I thought was THE ONE, we had a big snafu with the lender from which I obtained my preapproval, which made us return to the drawing board and find another property. I WAS DEVASTATED and honestly wanted to give up. Sarah demonstrated empathy during this challenging time and allowed me a few days to grieve before making recommendations that ultimately changed my home-buying journey trajectory. Sarah connected me with a new lender and stellar lending officer, and we continued our search. Initially, we couldn't find a home that was a perfect fit like the one we had to leave behind. When I thought all was lost, Sarah called me with the specs on a new build that met ALL of my specifications and was better even on paper than the initial property I picked out. We went to see the home, and I fell in love immediately. Sarah helped me to navigate every aspect of the process. She was always available to answer every text or phone call and never left me feeling undervalued. Additionally, she was a wealth of knowledge and took the time to make sure I understood everything I signed or was asked to do throughout the process until the day of closing. We closed at the beginning of December 2024, and she still checks in weekly to ensure I'm okay. I highly recommend Sarah Loftis for helping you find your next home. She will prioritize your desires and empower you to find the right home for you. You will not be disappointed.

We listed our home in Ft Mill SC with one of his agents. His agent recommended a listing price. I…read moredisagreed with the price and raised it by $30k. The home sold in less than 30 days for about $25k more than their recommended listing price. I am accustomed to a 3% listing commission and 3% selling commission. Stephen Cooley wanted 3.5% and 2.5% to the selling broker. I told him that this did not work for me, and in my opinion, the selling broker does the majority of the work in the transaction. Their communication was awful during the process. The fact that the home sold so quickly had nothing to do with Stephen Cooley Real Estate. There are much better companies in Ft Mill, Rock Hill and Charlotte. All that can say is that I will never use this company again.

With this guy's face plastered all over the place you would think he'd follow up with his team to make sure they provided good service.
