While traveling through the city of Kershaw, we came across a sign for S&M Realty. Miss Tammy Lyles quickly returned our phone call. We discussed what we were looking for, and she promptly responded with a number of listings. She was incredibly patient, swiftly answering phone calls, text messages, even recommending local contractors, etc. her first listing recommendation was more than we hoped for, and we ended up putting in an offer right away. Miss Tammy has stayed in touch even after the sale was completed, regularly checking in. If you know what you are looking for? Miss Tammy has the house for you! If you don't? She will something that will exceed your expectations. Hardworking, professional, courteous and friendly broker!! You won't be disappointed!!

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.

Allow me to start off by stating the obvious: I have yet to post a review…read more ...until today, my friends! Can you believe it? And it's about a home inventory company? Yeah... me either, but I really felt like I just needed to say just how impressed I am with Black Box. Being in my mid 20's, I never really thought much (ok, I admit it, I've NEVER thought) about a home inventory service. I'm constantly on the go and thinking about everything else BUT THAT. It all changed for me pretty quickly though. I currently live in a high-rise condo in the city, and let me tell you one thing: as much as I love my apartment, it is almost always giving me trouble in one way or another. Living in a condo doesn't mean you're just in your unit. Nopeeeee... you might as well say that you have 5,000 other roommates. In my time here, I have seen pipes burst and flood more than six floors, leaks from air conditioners in units above ruin the ceilings of apartments below, toilets flood and cause damage to neighboring units, etc. You're really just not safe from damage. So, why take any additional risk? With that, of course I purchased home insurance. To compliment it, I knew I needed to get inventory of all my assets just in case. I bought a Groupon deal for Black Box, and I can confidently say that I have never had greater service. ANYWHERE! The male customer service rep that I spoke to was super friendly and able to quickly assess my needs. When they came to my place, both of the Black Box reps were very professional and KIND. They arrived ON TIME (unlike cable tv reps -_-), and they gave me a thorough explanation of the whole process. The detailed binder that I received after my home inventory was not only completely accurate with the pricing, but it was organized and done VERY, VERY WELL. You can tell that they really put a lot of work into what they do (even the quick snapshots of the inventory was high quality). So rare to come by these days - I just felt the need to say that they went way above my expectations. (Ask for Mike or Rob, they are WONDERFUL!!) Black Box = PERFECT housewarming gift, Christmas gift, ANYTIME gift to all - homeowners, renters, it just doesn't matter - everyone needs to take the time to have this done. And to be honest, I'm sure there are other companies that do a great job on home inventory as well. But, if you want a company that you can trust (both with your belongings and with delivering a quality product) and actually enjoy corresponding with, the Black Box team is it. I've recommended several of my friends and family to them and they are just as happy and relieved that they did this.

They are an excellent company and we have almost eight years experience with them and will continue as long as we have our rental property. They find tenants quickly and Tony is extremely responsive to them and us; he always addresses any issues and lets us weigh in on the larger items. We've had a few sets of tenants now and no major issues Tony can't resolve. In fact, the most concerning issue we had with a tenant who left before contract ended, Tony swiftly resolved with ease and the tenant paid the rent. He was on top of it - no drama. It's been great watching his business grow and I appreciate his ability to innovate and use online methods of management. Empire is very reliable - we've moved many times over the years, I've deployed, and moved overseas and all the while, Empire excellently manages our properties. This review is long overdue and I highly recommend Empire Property Management, and especially my military brethren looking for someone to manage a rental property. They are great!

After we switched, we never had to worry about it; payments came in like clockwork. When we decided to sell the property, we retained Empire Property Management to handle the sale. This was tricky because we live out of state (and were even working out of the country, at the time). But, our realtor, Charlotte Brown, worked tirelessly to bring in prospective buyers, contact companies to clean and repair the property, and handle the closing, despite our difficult situation.
