She is very responsive to things as they arise and quickly gets back with you on updates and information that you need to make decisions. Her experience really shines throughout the process of selling the home (in my case we needed a flipper to buy it) all the way to the closing. Her suggestions are always thoughtful and full of wisdom from the heart and experience. My wife and I already have scheduled Sherry to come over to our Columbia home to discuss options and plans to put it on the market with Sherry Chessnut as our representative realtor. Highly recommend. 5/19/2021

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.

I have no friends or family in SC, yet wanted to relocate there. I chose Tonya as my SC "Buyer Agent" by gut instinct alone. My gut was correct......Tonya is quite personable, non-pressure, and made herself quite available to help me view homes in the 3 days I allotted to find a home in SC, make an offer, and have it accepted before I flew back to Phoenix.... Actually, Tonya helped me to accomplish my mission in 3 days : ) I found a beautiful home in a neighborhood I could only dream about prior to this past week. I am "Under Contract" thanks to Tonya's great negotiating skills!...Sale pending on a home/community on Lake Carolina. Tonya always went above and beyond the call of duty. She is extremely hard-working, thorough, tech-savy in this modern world, and efficient. I trusted her completely! She even helped this out-of-towner by serving as my concierge by making dining/restaurant suggestions (try Blue Marlin in Columbia!), places of interest, shopping, and explained the roadways/freeways in the area. I highly recommend Tonya D. Graves (South Market Real Estate in Columbia/ Office: (803) 470-6001/ Text/ Cell: (803) 238-8612/ www.SouthMarketRE.com) for all your real estate needs!

They seem to have the best reach in the multi-state Mid Atlantic area to find niche tenants and make the best fit for property owners. Julian Wilson and Lee Bussell did a superb job marketing for us and finding high quality very long-term commercial tenants making the perfect match for them and for our mother (owner), even though her property is unique. They did this in less than 2 months. Lee Bussell, realtor at Wilson and Kibler, now manages her small commercial tract and warehouse in Lexington County. His long lasting professional relationships with contractors, local permit providers such as DHEC, and other important connections allow our family to live in Arizona worry-free. He oversaw a massive 400 foot deep water well drilling and installation at our site for us even though we never left Arizona. He kept us posted on every stage of the huge job and advised us throughout while addressing the tenants needs. We have a hassle-free arrangement and know that Mr Bussell handles lots of things behind the scenes. When something is major, such as a climate event effecting the property, he has the discernment to handle what he can and should handle on his own and still knows when it is necessary to involve our family. He never seems to overstep nor under perform. We could not be happier. Eleanor C.
