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!

Karin Bilderback was an absolutely amazing realtor from start to finish!

She is also extremely communicative and on top of things through every step of the process and you navigate buying and selling simultaneously. This was seriously the best experience with a realtor we have had. You won't find a better one locally!

Unfortunately, our experience fell short at the moments that mattered most. On a recent home we…read morewere ready to compete for, we were told we would have a chance to beat other offers -- we had spoken with our financing contact and were prepared to go well above our original number. That opportunity never came. Our own financing contact had to reach out at the end of the night because we were still waiting, and we learned the home was already under contract. Losing to a stronger offer is part of buying a house and we understand that. What was hard was being assured we'd have a chance to compete, and then finding out the decision had already been made. We also originally started working together based on connections and local knowledge in a specific neighborhood. When we shifted our search to a different area, that expertise didn't carry over, and we ended up finding the neighborhood we settled on ourselves. We wanted to share our honest experience for other buyers -- especially first-time families -- who are relying heavily on their agent to guide them through a stressful, high-stakes process. We'd encourage others to confirm deadlines and key details in writing along the way.

We were an out-of-state client, so it took a leap of faith on both parties to work together to make our dream home happen... and boy did she get us our dream home! I don't normally write reviews, and I am doing so because she is just that fantastic. She virtually showed us a lot of houses, and each one she showed us, Brenda demonstrated such expertise and knowledge regarding what is good and bad about each property. She wasn't just eager to sell us a home and be done with it, but she wanted to ensure we found our dream home at the best and fairest price possible. Brenda is not afraid to advocate for her clients and make sure they are well taken care of. House hunting with her was like going on an adventure with a friend, and didn't feel like an agent/client transaction. She is fair, honest, and professional by all definitions of the word, and I would eagerly refer her to any friend who wanted to move to the area.

My husband and I worked with Kym Fleming at Atlanta Communities when purchasing our first home…read more Although we successfully closed in April, the experience left us feeling unsupported and inadequately guided during several important parts of the transaction. Our concerns were not simply that every request was not accepted by the sellers. We understand that negotiations do not always go a buyer's way. Our concerns were about the quality of the advice, communication, advocacy, and transaction oversight we received. The most financially significant issue involved the sellers remaining in the home after closing. Before agreeing to the arrangement, we did not feel adequately advised that rent, compensation, or other terms could potentially be negotiated for post-closing occupancy. We only learned about those options later through our own online research rather than from the agent we trusted to educate and guide us as first-time buyers. Once we understood the financial impact, we asked for the refrigerator to be included in exchange for allowing the sellers to remain without paying rent, but it was not formally negotiated or secured. We ultimately continued paying approximately $2,400 in apartment rent while owning a home we could not yet occupy. While Kym did obtain a seller contribution toward our closing costs, that does not change the fact that we did not feel fully informed about our options or strategically advised regarding what to offer for the home or the occupancy arrangement. We knew every request might not be accepted, but we still expected our agent to clearly explain the available options, potential financial consequences, and possible negotiation strategies so that we could make an informed decision. Instead, I was left to conduct my own research and seek guidance from family members who had not purchased a home in decades. There were also communication and transaction-management issues. Two days before closing, I identified incorrect numbers in the closing documentation and learned that updated information had not reached our lender. At several points, I felt I was personally monitoring and correcting matters that I expected our agent to manage. I later submitted a detailed complaint to the managing broker and received a relatively quick reply from Sandee Burnham. Her initial response attributed some communication problems to my having "unsubscribed" from Kym's emails, even though I did not unsubscribe until well after closing and moving in. The broker later acknowledged that this was not an accurate characterization but maintained the same overall conclusion which was that Kym's lack of knowledge, guidance and support did not fall " below Atlanta Communities' professional standards" which says a lot about their business. I recognize that the brokerage reviewed the file and determined that none of its professional standards or ethics rules were violated. However, determining that conduct did not rise to the level of a formal violation is not the same as providing an informed, supportive, and well-managed client experience. The lack of follow-through continued through the end of the transaction. At our final walk-through, Kym told us she had forgotten the closing gift she intended to give us and would stop by with it the following week after returning from a trip. We never heard from her or saw her again. As first-time homebuyers, we expected stronger guidance, communication, advocacy, and follow-through from both our agent and the brokerage. I would tell people to RUN from this company and find another option that will give you the proper home buying experience. Edit: I moved on... until Kym replied to my Zillow review with a version of events that contains multiple inaccuracies & only reinforces my original concerns. Negotiating closing costs doesn't erase the lack of guidance/oversight or the fact that I caught the closing error two days, not weeks, before closing. If Kym advocated for us during the transaction as much as she is advocating for herself now, perhaps this review would not exist.

Their professionalism and knowledge were impressive. Before we listed, the stager and photographer were brought in to help us make our house a true showplace. We worked hard getting things ready, and Alicia was there to help and support us. Our listing went live on a Thursday, the Open House was held on a Sunday, and we had two full price offers on Monday! Alicia is a hard working, caring, and involved realtor. She really listens and does everything she can to help get the best price for your home. During a stressful time of upheaval and change, Alicia was there to offer support and a calming influence. We are now in our new home, and we could never have done it this quickly without Alicia and her team. We will definitely recommend Alicia to anyone who plans to sell their home - she's the best!

BEWARE: Extremely Unprofessional Agent!!!…read more We are first time home buyers, and literally had this special experience ruined for us. She took away the joy and excitement of buying our first home. We were scheduled to do our final walkthrough the day before our closing. Cathy picked the time and date, which meant that we moved our schedule around and missed my grandmother's birthday dinner to make this appointment, while traveling over an hour from where we lived. Our agent even messaged her hours before the schedule appointment which she couldn't be bothered to respond to. We showed up (on time) and she is no where to be found. We tried calling her multiple times. Our agent also tried calling her and she was unresponsive. Finally after almost 30 minutes, she picks up the call and instead of trying to hear anything I had to say, she abruptly tries to defend why she wasn't there. She was under the impression that we were different people and looking at a different property. Again, not taking any accountability that she in the wrong for missing a scheduled appointment. Instead she was too busy trying to defend why it's okay that she was not there. When she finally arrives to the property, she refused to make eye contact with us and remained extremely unprofessional. She even made it to clear to us that "she was doing us a favor and that she didn't need to let us in." Again, she agreed to letting us in (days in advance) and decided on the date and time. We honored her schedule and yet she made us feel extremely small, insignificant and not worth her time. I literally cried on our hour long drive home because I was so upset that a "professional" who claims her motto is "treat others the way you want to be treated," treated us like complete and worthless shit. She spoke down to us as if we were children and her husband just stood there and watched as she carried herself in an unethical and unprofessional manner. I will never ever forget how she ruined this special moment for us. We couldn't even celebrate closing on our home because her negativity, lack of organization and cruelty had me distraught. She made us feel like a pure transaction and thinks that she is some big fish in such a tiny pond. I would never recommend this agent to anyone. Stay away, she is aggressive and unkind.

We listed our house using Cathy, after I did some research on yelp and Zillow. I try to always be…read morehonest in my reviews and will do so here as well. She's aggressive and the pictures of the house were professional. A little too filtered in retrospect. There were 20+ viewings during the time she had the listing. That was the good. The issues we had were numerous however. There was poor communication throughout. We found out important factors after the fact, there were discrepancies in what she originally said and then it was changed to be more beneficial to whatever point she wanted to make. After 15 days she said on a joint call with us that we should reduce the price by $10K and from there it deteriorated quickly. Later she said she didn't say that. My honest opinion is she relies on the fact that she's done it for x amount of years and her way. She didn't use a system to alert for showings such as the app showing time which would have been very helpful. She tried to strong arm her thoughts and beliefs onto the client and the most difficult thing was to constantly hear that we were very important but we were asked to have this or that piece of info, paperwork etc done by this specific time because she had a client or showing or some other thing going on. Bottom line; we felt we weren't important, we were misled or pressured and her personality didn't work for us. Upon the termination of the listing, we found a different realtor who had the house under contract and within $2K of ask price in the same time frame.
