Kari Vander Velde - Fathom Realty Kari represented me on both the sale of my existing home as well as the purchase of the new home, and she did an AMAZING job! On the sale of my existing home Kari took the time and expended the effort to go above and beyond by giving me suggestions for preparing my house. By the way, she has some real designer skills. I implemented all of her design suggestions, and I have to say the home looked great for presentation to buyers. Kari listed the home on a Thursday, and by 5pm Friday I had 3 offers with 4 others that were interested. One offer was at list and the other 2 offers were well above list. Frankly, I believe that her ideas to prep the home were integral in the value of the offers. In the end, the house sold for the highest value per square foot that the neighborhood I was in had ever had. In fact, this sale was in 2014, and it wasn't until this year (2016) that I noticed prices per sq. ft. in my old neighborhood had finally started reaching the value I sold mine for. Incredible!! In 2015 Kari assisted me in buying the home I am currently in - in Frisco. This home was a spec home that had just been sheet-rocked and had 4 more months to completion. My original thinking was that if I did not use a real estate agent that I could negotiate a better price with the builder - since they wouldn't have to pay an agent. However, I talked with Kari, and she assured me that would not be the case. Was a bit nervous and skeptical, but she went to talk with the builder and she negotiated the price of the house down $60k!!! I could not believe it!! Not only did Kari get me an incredible deal on the sale of my existing home, but she saved me a lot of money on the purchase of the new home. Did she get me the absolute best price on the sale of my existing home? Yes! Did she get me the absolute best price on the purchase of my new home? Yes! However, the best qualities that Kari possesses are: 1. Her desire to always do what is right for her clients. 2. She explains EVERYTHING about the processes of buying and selling to her clients. 3. Kari has a knowledge of her industry that is beyond any I've worked with previously. 4. She has extensive, real, knowledge of her markets. 5. Kari tells you what you need to know, and not what she thinks you want to know. Once you use Kari as your agent you will NEVER use anyone else again. read more

Suzanne Andrade with Fathom Realty DFW made both our home selling and home buying experiences smooth and actually quite fun. My wife and I began with some trepidation, thinking of all the things that could go wrong with selling and buying at the same time. However, Suzanne's unwavering confidence and knowledge of the overall process quickly put our minds at ease. She was available for us anytime, day or night, and on short notice. She ALWAYS met us at either the old or new home when we had appointments to meet with contractors for bids or inspectors, and was extremely helpful to us in asking the right questions, looking for things that needed to be fixed, etc. She also has a great "supporting cast" of professionals to take care of so many things... preparing your house to sell with repairs, painting, etc. to staging to inspectors to mortgage processing. All recommended professionals were timely and reasonably priced. We are so happy that we chose her to represent us... If you are considering buying and/or selling, I highly recommend you give Suzanne a call!! read more

Melodie Watts is the most patient, professional, persistent, relentless person I have ever had the pleasure with which to work in my professional career. This is the customer speaking. She helped us sell our home under pressure, and with a customer that presented many unexpected potential game changing problems along the way. She never gave up, and she never let it keep her from focusing on the task at hand. She stayed on top of each and every issue that arose. She is well informed on the business process from all stake holders perspective, and she does not play games. She is open, honest, and provided us with very good advice with each situation. We had 3 contracts back out on us. She had frustrated sellers that did not always understand the process. She helped us through that frustrating process, in exemplary fashion, far beyond any professional expectation that should ever be required. If she is your real estate agent, you will be in very good hands, regardless of the issues that arise. She will represent your interests as if they are her own. read more

Linda and JR were absolutely amazing in assisting us with the search for our new home. My husband and I set a goal of finding a low-cost home to keep our expenses down, which in itself would have turned some realtors away. We sold our existing home quickly and the property we attempted to purchase fell through due to a bad title. Homeless, we had to start over with the whole process. Linda's dedication to finding us a new home was admirable. She spent so much time with me, she made me feel like her only client. She went out of her way to answer questions and gather information requested. Even months after the closing, Linda checked in on us and helped us with additional information and contacts. I would highly recommend Linda and JR to anyone who is looking to sell or purchase property. It was a delight to work with them and will definitely be a return customer on any future real estate transactions. read more

We decided on Deb ( at Fathom) because we knew she had done a great job with some of our family before. Well, we did not realize how great she was until she was our realtor. Deb was way more than just a realtor to us. She was so intelligent, extremely insightful, loving, kind, fun and funny, and such a blessing to deal with. Her soft and loving nature was extremely evident throughout our entire process. The most amazing part is that she does not shy away from a fight. all we had to do was say the word and Deb would jump in the ring and through hoops to ensure our every thought and request was attained or represented. The happy and enjoyable, great person you get upon first meeting her is what you get forever. She is the real deal. Deb is the realtor you want if you want to feel taken care of, loved, safe, and well informed. read more

My husband and I were determined to find a cute house in the historic neighborhood of downtown McKinney. Suzanne took us on a couple of searches and we just couldn't find anything that really worked in our price range. That's when she remembered a builder's lot that was listed for a new home build and suggested we go see it. We'd totally forgotten and never would have built our GORGEOUS new home, within walking distance to our favorite square, for the price we wanted to pay. WE ARE THRILLED. We actually think we won the bid (against a HIGHER bid!) because she is so easy to work with. She knows her stuff and is so much fun to do business with. CAN'T RECOMMEND SUZANNE ENOUGH!! read more

Melodie Watts was, by far, the best real estate agent my husband and I have ever worked with. Moving from out of state, we were worried that the whole process was going to be really tough. We have bought and sold houses previously, but we have never bought a house out of state. Melodie made the whole transaction easy and was always on top of things. She is reliable and always kept us up to date throughout the process, even though we were living in another state at the time. I would recommend her to any and everyone who wants to buy or sell a home in the DFW area and I am confident that if I ever sell my home and buy a new one, she will be the first one I call! read more

Stacey Gaither is not only a realtor but has become a very dear friend since 2006. I met Stacey the year after I relocated for Katrina from New Orleans. The home buying experience was completely new to me as was the new location and we just clicked as friends. She is very professional, friendly, patient, listens to your needs/wants and goes above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. She's also an animal lover so that's a bonus! Although, I have moved three times to include three different states since I've met Stacey, I have continued to refer and recommend her. She is a blessing. read more

Melodie Watts was professional and always available for any questions or needs that came up. We had a short time frame due to our rental house foreclosing unexpectedly. We were given 90 days to vacate. She had us set up to look at half a dozen houses two days later and we found THE ONE that day. Within 24 hours our offer was accepted and she guided us through the entire process worry free. Thanks again for helping us find our dream home under such stressful situations! I would recommend her to anyone. read more

Shanna made my home buying experience so positive! I've heard nightmares from many friends about their experiences with other realtors, and was a little nervous.

I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to find their new home. read more

Working with Tricia was a breeze. I was undecided about listing my house and she was patient and worked with me until I pulled the trigger. The house sold in 4 days, while I was on vacation. Tricia is communicative (texting is so easy), responsive, and knew the market. Would highly recommend. The closing attorney the buyer selected, that's another story. read more
