We bought an investment property in GA with James in 2018 and sold it in 2022. He was also our…read moreproperty manager during that time. He came recommended to us by a friend who had also bought investment properties with him and our purchase and subsequent sale was smooth. He found us a buyer while it was still tenant occupied. During the 4 years we held the property, and compared with other property managers, we didn't feel that his services were worth his fee. We opted for the hybrid fee model yet we ended up doing most of the communicating with the HOA and the renter ourselves. At the end of the day, his relationships are with the sales people of the builders, and once they transition to the community's HOA, James had no contacts and just told us to handle ourselves. We felt that we should've gotten higher rent for the property and better tenants. The first tenant he found wanted to break the lease and James didn't really know how to handle that other than to talk to the tenant. As a lawyer myself and from experience, I knew how to take legal action and drafted the proper paperwork myself. The second tenant he found was fine except he kept contacting me directly because he said James wasn't handling his concerns. Tenant eventually asked me to just renew his lease without James because it was easier that way. Since neither landlord nor tenant felt properly taken care of, we just decided to offload the property and exit the GA market altogether. Chalk it up to lesson learned and to stick to the market that we know personally. Furthermore, he left my phone # on GA public records even after our sale so I get calls and letters weekly from GA flippers looking to buy the property we no longer own. Fun. Lastly, he kept asking me to write a positive review for him on BiggerPockets while he had only just started managing our property. Didn't make sense to me as his job had only just begun and anything could still happen (and did). So I'm now writing an honest and non-emotional review 5 yrs later to present the full set of facts. Cross-posted on Zillow and Google.

Ian McLaren walked us through purchasing our first Atlanta home and we constantly said how grateful…read morewe were to have him as an advocate! From day one, he was hands-on, genuine, and clearly had our best interests at heart; he wasn't just unlocking doors, but actively walking through every property with a sharp eye for detail. During inspections, negotiations, and contract-signings, Ian caught several issues we would have completely missed (things that could have cost us thousands or tens of thousands down the line), and always took the time to explain what we were seeing and why it mattered. His responsiveness was extremely high and he was on top of every important deadline, which made a huge difference in a high-stress process. We never felt like just another transaction; Ian was proactive, honest, and truly looked out for us throughout the home-buying process. Highly recommend to anyone searching for an agent they can fully trust.

"Working with Ashton Ballard to manage our long-distance move from Massachusetts to Georgia was an…read moreabsolute dream. Before we even made the move, Ashton spent time on the phone helping us narrow down neighborhoods and align our search with our top priorities. When it came to viewing homes, she was direct, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. Coming from the Northeast, we were totally unfamiliar with local structural nuances like stucco exteriors, but Ashton proactively pointed out exactly what to look for. Her expertise didn't stop at finding the house, either--she connected us with fantastic local vendors, including a great mortgage broker, cleaners, electricians, and engineers for a retaining wall project. Her guidance on crafting a competitive offer got us the home we loved, and the entire paperwork and closing process was seamless and efficient. We were genuinely amazed at how effortless buying a home from 1,000 miles away could be. If you are relocating or buying locally, you could not ask for a better advocate than Ashton!"

My review is little delayed and comes from my experience in working with The Gina Sharma Team to…read morepurchase our home. I believe I owe this review to the team for the fabulous work ethic and professionalism demonstrated throughout the process. Gina and her team are extremely professional and knowledgeable. It started off with introduction from a friend who received great support in buying a house while he was still in India and was relocating back to the US. We started off sitting across the table and understanding each others expectations. A great conversation and Gina was patiently responding to every possible query I could have. I would not be surprised if Gina thought that I may not be a serious buyer The timelines of my buy had to be quick. I am regular traveler and had a window in Nov - Dec of 2016 where I could make a decision. What followed was - Great support in understanding my changing preferences - Making me understand what's the need vs. a want - Demonstrating ROI on any investment on a longer term - Helping narrow down properties - Enable my decision-making process with data on geography and the current real estate market - I was provided with a detailed explanation of steps... Prior to this, I had no clue about how much goes into it. If I had known probably would not have started ( that was a joke- I needed it) But the entire responsibility was taken over by The Gina Sharma Team. All I had to do was walk into attorney's office for final paper work. Did have to liase with bankers though for loan. Wish that could be outsourced as well. But had to take that responsibility as I am supposed to get a best financial deal basis my personal situation. I trust Gina and her entire team so much that I have referred 5+ friends to The Gina Sharma Team and they too have had wonderful experiences with the team. Over past 18-months what I like is the continued professional approach in dealing with clients and supporting them with genuine integrity and transparency. I wish The Gina Sharma Team great success in the years to come!

I assume it was because she got an offer for more $$$. When I brought up my concerns to her broker, Melba Franklin, the only response I got was ...you got the house.

I can say, with 100% certainty, that hiring Katie and her team as "our friends in real estate" was…read moreeasily one of the best decisions I have made in a very long time. My husband and I recently relocated to Georgia from Florida and were ready to purchase our first home - yep in this market. I reached out to Katie to put some feelers out as I did with a few other agents in the area. After one conversation with Katie I canceled all my other calls with other agents. Katie put my husband and I at ease about our reluctance to even pursue a home at this time considering how crazy the market was. She paired us up with Tori, and mentioned she thought Tori would be a great match. Katie was right. Tori is an absolute rockstar and was a dream to work with. She is warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and so supportive. She gave us such great advice and was always able (and willing) to answer all of our questions - which there were plenty. Tori never pushed us to make decisions and was so sweet and compassionate the entire time. We had quite an exhausting search, and I was emotionally on a roller coaster for several months. Every single time I was feeling really low, Tori had some sort of spidey-sense and would call me and make me feel so much better. Despite how relieved I was to have finally have one of our offers accepted, I would be lying if I said there was a big part of me that was not sad when it ended. So while I can say Tori was absolutely successful in equipping us with the tools we needed to secure our first home, I am more bummed I don't get to see her and chat on a regular basis anymore. Tori played such an instrumental role in our lives the last few months and we will be indebted to her for as long as we can remember. I truly cannot speak any more highly of Katie and her entire team. You are truly doing yourself a disservice by using anyone else to buy or sell your home. We are actually looking forward to all of our future real estate endeavors because we get to work with our new friends again. When Katie says her and her team will be "your friends in real estate" she really does mean it and absolutely delivers. Fantastic at what they do and so sweet, knowledgeable, and compassionate the entire way. Truly just a team of really fantastic humans. I feel truly blessed and fortunate to have found Katie and her team and to have had the opportunity to work with them. I can assure you, Katie's team will not disappoint. Don't sign a brokerage agreement with anyone else!

Our first…read morephone call was great, he took the time to get to know us and understand what our needs were in a new home. With three young kids and two dogs, we wanted to make sure we had room for everyone. He was able to meet with us on multiple occasions and show us around the houses we chose. This is what sets him apart from every agent I've ever worked with. Not only did he provide details on the homes we wanted to see, but he drove out to every single property (and there were A LOT) and provided feedback on what we may/may not like about homes and their areas and also mapped out our days to maximize our time while we visited. His attention to detail and ability to know his clients sets him above everyone else. We ultimately found our home and really couldn't have done it without his guidance, patience and overall kindness that he exhibits. Even when we were met with some challenges, he helped keep us grounded and reassured us when we needed it most. We are thrilled to have used him and will be having our family use him for their future move to the area.

I was looking for an agent to sell our condo in Atlanta. I used Yelp for this, and specified that I…read morewant an African American woman to be my agent. Candace was one of the ones who responded. She has a lot of great reviews, and I do not mean to detract from that. I wish her the best, but at the same time, I thought that, in all fairness, I need to tell of my experience. My own take is that she was usually a step slower than others to respond. And while everyone else went to look at the condo before getting back to me, she didn't. Both of these may be on account of the fact that she holds down a different day job. Perhaps she has an assistant or two at her disposal, but I'm skeptical that she would be able to provide the attention that I would have needed. Others who had a good experience with her - good for you. I decided to go a different way.

I can't even say how many places we looked at, there were so many. Ann Marie, who took the time to get to know me, had no problem telling me what was wrong with a property as much as the positives. In fact, there was a town house that I really liked and she talked me out of buying it. She said, "I will not let you buy this place!". She explained why I would eventually hate the town house, and she was right. What real estate agent does that?!?!?! Ann Marie does. Eventually we found what would be my home in Alpharetta, and getting it was an emotional rollercoaster. Ann Marie did such a great job keeping me from going crazy. Ann Marie is a great real estate agent and, more important, a really great person. If you're buying or selling, you'd be a fool to not to call her. You won't regret it!!!
