YOU WON'T FIND ANYONE ELSE LIKE THIS!!!! I am a very type A person with high expectations of everything done to perfection. I don't give compliments very often, and if I do-they are very much deserved!
I had been looking for an investment purchase that would be used to house my college daughter prior to renting. I looked for over 1 year on my own, just kinda muddled through, not really knowing what I was doing. (I didn't know the area very well) I had contacted another realtor, which I never signed with, that did not help me at all. I found a house I LOVED but was in foreclosure and counted on this other realtor for guidance. I was left alone, as the bidding time was counting down. I took it upon myself, to investigate on my own, and go to this neighborhood and walk my dog, with only 2 hours left to bid. I was so frustrated!
As I walked through this wonderful neighborhood, I met the neighbors! Outside for morning walks, swinging on their front porches, etc. I stopped and talked with them. These were very well established Columbia residents. They all said "call Jill Moylan at Home Advantage". I wish I knew their names to thank them personally.
I contacted Jill and I could not have asked for a better experience. Jill was on top of things immediately-with her goal to help me find the perfect place. (keeping within my budget) Jill is a REAL person! She cares! She has a REAL family! I felt part of her family! She promptly answered any question or concern I had and I found out she was juggling this all efficiently as she was packing up to move her own child away for college! (I found out this was all going on after the fact)
Jill has an awesome staff! They are one of the most professional group of people I have come across in a very, very long time. Not one of them was lacking at all in the professionalism I expected. Every staff member was thoroughly trained in every aspect of their job and I could tell they were all eager to continue to learn and expand their knowledge from an excellent teacher, Jill! She is working with young adults that have shown that they have the work ethics that have been lost by so many in today's society. Jill's staff helped show me some wonderful homes, answered questions I had about the different areas of Columbia and even took me on tours of the areas that interested me. Her staff also helped walk me through all of the steps and paperwork involved in buying a home.
When we got to the negotiating stages I was overwhelmed. There were many areas of negotiation after the inspections. I was ready to give up. It seemed like just too much- then Jill just took over! Jill helped me to just "relax" and let her "do her thing". Negotiations went smoothly and I could tell that this was not just a 9-5 job. Jill pretty much works 24/7. You may not see her constantly, but she is there, behind the scenes, busy at work! She is totally dedicated and you can tell she enjoys her job. I can sense the joy as she watches a family's excitement with their new home.
We purchased a home that we are so excited with! Things couldn't have gone smoother. My 21 year daughter went to the closing and I was so impressed that they took the time to help explain each step for her to understand also. (again, helping develop the young adults in our society)
I cannot thank Jill and her staff enough! You have met every expectation with an A+++ and this is from someone who,if doing an evaluation,would not give you anything but "meets expectations" unless you went above and beyond the requirements of your job. Jill and her entire team exceeded all expectations!
Thank you again!

PS: All of her contacts with inspectors, contractors, and anyone you need were excellent. They all hold much respect for Jill. I heard from all, "Jill gave you my name? I will be there!" The Locksmith came on Friday at 4:45 to change our locks- less than an hour after I called him! read more
