Please be cautious when using Odessa Patton, Agent at Keller, Williams Downing Group Real Estate. Our closing process was horrendous! We wired ALL of the closing fees and was prepared to close on Oct 18th. As we were in transient to the Attorney's Office for closing. We received a call from our agent, to inform us that she had overlooked the 0.5% that should have been factored in to her commission. She apologized for the inconvenience. We retired after 30 years of working for the Army, Air Force, Marines, and Navy. We were excited about our forever home to located near family. On the contrary our dreams were shattered, all due to my realtor, Odessa Patton. Once arriving to the attorney's office, we were informed that Ms. Patton had just notified them of her OVERSIGHT approximately a hour or so ago! Our attorneys tried to negotiate with Ms. Patton since all of the payments had been finalized. She denied the negotiations. Needless to say, we were unable to close was scheduled because Keller Williams Real Estate could have placed a lien on our house and sold it from under us. We depended on this Agent to successfully operate in her field. She fell short due to her inability to pay attention to detail. This was a huge disappointment for my husband and I because we followed every step as informed. We drove two hours to our anticipated closing appointment and scheduled services to be performed the day of closing. What was supposed to be a two hour exciting trip ended up being a 48 hours nightmare. We had to reschedule our wifi, security system, etc. due to the not being issued keys at closing; we were forced to reschedule. In order to return the next day, we had to get a hotel room and purchase clothing and toiletries. This was an inconvenience for me and my husband. Lastly, the 3% commission ended up being more than 3.5% because we had to pay her real estate company's Admin fee.

He listened and took notes on my must haves/ deal breakers, and acknowledged those things every time we saw a house. I loved the home buying experience, honestly, and I'll forever be a client.

We listed our home for sell with Jill and Lyndsey on a late Wednesday night in March. The next day, we had seven showings, and by Friday we had accepted an offer on our home. From the first walk-through with Jill and Lyndsey, to the day of closing (and even after we moved away), we had consistent communication and proper feedback regarding the sale of our home. We had several obstacles to overcome, from a fridge that stopped working, to de-cluttering, and sanitization during a Pandemic. Jill had a solution for all of our obstacles, and even made it harder for us to want to leave after we followed her staging advice. I personally chose HAR because I knew the level of service we would receive would be unmatched. If you want a team who puts their clients first, and has been locally respected for nearly three decades but also has global ties, my recommendation is Home Advantage Realty. Jill Moylan, Lyndsey Glymph and their team has the experience and resources to help with all your home buying and selling needs!

I was a real estate broker in a different state for over 7 years and I have to say that Jill's professionalism and skills are commendable, even more so is her willingness to go an extra mile (or several miles) for her client. She has a dedicated team of people working with her and they are always a service with a smile! I have never seen anyone lose her cool in course of our rather challenging transaction. Thank you to everyone on the team!

Micah listed her house on a Friday and we were in contract by Sunday night. There were some repairs requested by the new buyer and I live in another state. So, Micah arranged with contacts of his to do repairs (at extremely reasonable rates) quickly and made sure that keys were available when needed since I could not be there. I have bought and sold houses before and this was the smoothest process I have experienced. Micah is very professional and a delightful person to be around. I cannot recommend him enough! You will be glad you hired him. My husband picked him out after reading Yelp reviews - we got lucky so I figured I should leave a review here as well to help someone else out. - Teresa Plaag

I truly feel that he has our best interests at heart. He and his wife work as a team and have really impressed us with their professionalism. He has really taken a lot of stress out of our upcoming move. If you're looking for a top notch agent, look no further!! This guy is on point.

She even explained how she would market the house and find buyers. Her preparation and research impressed me so much that I went ahead and put my baby on the market. Briana went through everything with me, step by step, until she was certain I understood the process and such. She even gave me tips and helpful information to help stage my house. To top it off, the pictures that were posted in the sales ad, along with the description of the house, were perfect! So much so that my house sold in 20 days!!! Briana immediately forwarded me any paperwork and contacted me with updates throughout the selling process all the way to the closing. She even called around for quotes if repairs were needed!! I am so glad to have used her. She went above and beyond. Briana made the process so much easier for me, especially because I live out of state!! I highly recommend you give Briana a call for your buying/selling (or even renting) needs!! You won't regret it!

He was negligent and I feel everyone colluded together and I ended up purchasing a home needing expensive repairs based on their inspection and feedback. They told me everything was ok , but never got anything in writing. In essence did not follow the law. Never even so much as apologized. Everyone made their money and commission and the client was left holding the bag. I also think it rather unscrupulous that the agents husband is leaving biased 5 star reviews as if he is just another customer. I would stay far away!

He has been extremely helpful with everything, especially being in different states. I came down to look at houses in hopes of buying before I get here.

The house I fell in love with wasn't even on my list but Charlie had picked it out. I never would have known about it otherwise. He gave me a lot of helpful information. Being a first time buyer, I didn't know what to do, but he helped me every step of the way, along with Bart Thomas, who does the mortgage stuff. I am so thankful to have been blessed with awesome people to help with this very important thing. I recommend anyone looking for a home in this area, give Charlie a call at 803-968-3446!
