This was the place we started our lives- the door we opened once we returned from our honeymoon & to give Basil a home. I loved this house so much- Ryan built the mantle by hand, we planted every flower, and I can still hear Basil's pitter patter running down the stairs. I truly wouldn't have trusted anyone in the world to sell our home but Jennie Wilson. She was incredible when we bought it from her 2 years ago, and she sold it with her same savvy & kindness. We were *tough* clients- on a deadline, mostly out of state, and our house had quite a few last minute and unexpected repairs! But Jennie handled each with positivity, grace, and the thoughtfulness of having your best friend sell your home. She checked in with us daily, handled repairs while we were back and forth to Florida, and made sure we were comfortable and stress- free (as you can be!) the entire process. I cannot recommend her enough- if you are in Atlanta and buying or selling, she is just the absolute best! To our first home, I will miss you so much.

Today we sold our Atlanta home with Jennie Wilson. This was the place we started our lives- the door we opened once we returned from our honeymoon & to give Basil a home. I loved this house so much- Ryan built the mantle by hand, we planted every flower, and I can still hear Basil's pitter patter running down the stairs. I truly wouldn't have trusted anyone in the world to sell our home but Jennie Wilson. She was incredible when we bought it from her 2 years ago, and she sold it with her same savvy & kindness. We were *tough* clients- on a deadline, mostly out of state, and our house had quite a few last minute and unexpected repairs! But Jennie handled each with positivity, grace, and the thoughtfulness of having your best friend sell your home. She checked in with us daily, handled repairs while we were back and forth to Florida, and made sure we were comfortable and stress- free (as you can be!) the entire process. I cannot recommend her enough- if you are in Atlanta and buying or selling, she is just the absolute best! To our first home, I will miss you so much. Thank you Jennie Wilson for making saying goodbye a little bit easier

Brenda Sandlin Brown is an amazing agent. She did a wonderful job making sure our home was beautifully staged, sold it during Covid, got us temporary short term lease home, and found us a house to purchase off the market based on my speciations. I highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. She also has great resources for anything you need done with your home. Thank BB.

"Stephanie helped me find my dream first home! As a first time home buyer, I wasn’t knowledgeable about the home buying process. She was so patient with me and explained every step! She was always responsive to my questions and concerns. Stephanie took all my needs and wants and found just what I was looking for! I will be recommending Stephanie to all my friends and family! "

Tracy and Laura went above and beyond in helping us on the sale of our home. They provided amazing guidance on what to do to prep the home before listing it to maximize interest from buyers. After their help staging the home, we were under contract after only a few showings and received several offers over asking price. We are now under contract on our new home, which they helped us secure before it even hit the market. The service and knowledge Tracy and Laura provide during the entire process is second to none. They are excellent and truly care about each of their clients!

I have used Laura on multiple transactions both purchasing and selling a home . Laura is certainly one of the best and most talented agents I have dealt with and her detailed knowledge in all aspects as a selling agent as well as a buying agent is second to none . I would not hesitate to engage Laura in any future purchases or sales.

Georgia did an amazing job with the purchase of our home in Atlanta's West End. We had a somewhat tricky offer situation, with repairs needed on the home that the sellers paid for and Georgia navigated the complicated process with ease. She did a great job helping us negotiate the best offer for our new home. Highly recommend!

"Maria was absolutely amazing to work with. I have worked with Maria 4 times now. Three to rent and one to buy and could not be happier with the experience. She knows the area extremely well, has great connections, and helps you find everything you're looking for within your budget. I know exactly who I will be using again when I am in need of assistance. You cannot go wrong with Maria whatsoever!"

"My entire experience with Elle Fergus was nothing short of exceptional. As time home buyers, my wife and I were green to the entire home buying process. Elle was patient throughout our housing search, helping us weigh the pros and cons of each neighborhood to make sure we found the perfect place to grow our budding family. Elle knew exactly what we were searching for, and because of this, helped us purchase a house in our favorite Atlanta neighborhood without a “for sale” sign ever touching the front yard. Elle’s professional yet personable demeanor made the buying process smooth, thorough, and most importantly, fun! I’m thankful for Elle helping my family find the perfect home, and I would highly recommend Elle to anyone looking to find a house to turn into a home."

"Elle was an absolute dream to work with as a first-time home buyer! From the initial meeting where she and Laura walked us through the home-buying process and explained it all very clearly and took time to answer our questions, we knew we were in good hands. Elle made a seemingly stressful process far less stressful. Not only is Elle well-informed, honest, and very knowledgeable, but she's also kind and personable. She wants you to find the home that's right for you and is very patient to make it happen. There's no doubt we'll be returning to her when it comes time to buy our next home!"

"Elle was such a pleasure to work with as our realtor. As first time home buyers, we had so many questions and were intimated at times in this current market. However, with Elle’s knowledge, support and guidance we were able to find a home within our budget AND desired location. Elle is the perfect balance of a realtor who is professional and yet personable too. She cares about her clients and works hard to find the best house for them. Her support for us extended far beyond just the purchase of the home. We are so grateful for everything that Elle did for us! Highly recommend her in the Atlanta area!"

“Laura was awesome to work with. We purchased our first home in a very competitive market. She navigated us through the process from beginning to end. In making our offer on the home we wanted, we beat out 15 other offers using her advice, with the home still appraising for more than we paid. She was also very understanding and made sure we never left our comfort zone. Laura knows all about the Atlanta area and neighborhoods. If we ever purchase another home or sell this one, we will absolutely go with her again.”

“We used Laura to both find our new home and sell our existing home. We had a very tough, drawn out buying process, but Laura stayed on top of the process for us, brought a lot of great expertise, and humor to keep us sane and on track. She was able to negotiate really creative enhancements and financing options for us. On our sale, she was able to get us under contract much faster than other properties in our area. We would highly recommend Laura to anyone who wants to work with someone who looks out for their best interest.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Laura - she is incredible! She has extensive knowledge of the in-town area, is very responsive and truly listens to your needs. She also knows how to structure offers in this highly competitive market to make sure yours stands out from the rest of the pack. I am so thankful for all she has done for me and cannot recommend her enough!”

“Laura was friendly, responsive, tactical and helpful every step of the way through the process of selling our home. We moved out before closing and she even met the exterminator when we had to have wasps treated on the balcony after we had left town. Our closing went off without a hitch. We would highly recommend her services.”
