The agent in charge Pam Lightsey, is in my professional opinion one of the most knowledgeable agents working in the CRSA. I cannot express myself in enough words about Ms Lightsey's expertise, her deep knowledge of Real Estate Law, her genuine desire to do the very best not only for the seller but also for the buyer that all actions are proper and accurate regardless of what side of the table one sits on. Whether you are buying or selling your home I do recommend Jim Courson Realty and for your agent PAM LIGHTSEY.

Pam Lightsey was our agent in selling a home on Fairfax Street, in Martinez. To say she was…read moreexcellent is an understatement, Pam was absolutely professional in all aspects of the selling process. Pam keep me informed of every step taken, every process was fully explained and due to expertise even got twenty seven hundred dollars more than the original asking price. Pam is one highly experienced realtor sales associate and I would definitely recommend her in any capacity of either buying or selling a house. Please note: I do not hand out recommendations easily- they have to earn it and Pam Lightsey of Jim Courson Realty has earned this recommendation.

My customer…read moreonly had 4 days to find a rental and at least a full day was lost trying to schedule a showing with the BIG BOX properties. More time was lost having to call and text different agents multiple times, leaving messages and emails. On the very last day we found Karen's rental property, she responded timely even though she was in the midst of dealing with important family matters. She provided the application in a timely manner, conducted all the proper reviews/background checks expeditiously. I was able to secure a great, clean, safe rental for my customer. We are so appreciative of her professionalism. If I had to recommend a Property Manager to my customers, I would be recommending Karen Clayton.

Upon reaching out to Karen Clayton about property 121 Charleston Row Blvd, I asked if the property…read morewas available and her initial response was that the property was available but no pets were allowed (abruptly). I had not had time to even ask any questions about the property. I then advised her that I had an ESA dog that is deemed medically necessary and I do have documentation to support this. She then proceeded to tell me that they do not have to follow the guidelines set in place by the Fair Housing Act [42 U.S.C. 3602(h)], the Americans with Disabilities Act, and as defined in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual Fifth Edition [DSM-5]. After receiving the information from Karen Clayton that she was denying my inquiry on the property due to my disability, I ended the call. Upon ending the call with Karen Clayton, I then received a text message from Karen stating that I was rude. I will further be reaching out to the company in which Karen Clayton represents. I am extremely disappointed in the discrimination I have received.

I had a horrible experience renting for 2 years from this company. I was accused of not answering…read morecalls from a 3rd party company, Smith Concierge, contracted not only to do maintence inspections, but to do all repairs. These people were never calling me the first time, let alone, contacting me back. I was forced to allow grown men into my home, when I live alone, every 90 days to go through my entire apartment under the guise of helping me by changing the air filter and smoke detector batteries. Something any adult is perfectly capable of doing themselves unless elderly or disabled. I was made to pay an additional $25 per month for an air filter and cheap amazon batteries in my smoke detector (that didn't last 90 days) was a hidden fee to charge me a maintence fee to be used for any future repairs. There is an every 90 day inspection too. This applies to everyone. I consider this extreme! Legal?. Yes, but extreme considering nobody does this unless a prior inspection caused concern and so it was warranted. I lived here for several years under REMAX management prior to them taking over. I always took care of the property. REMAX did not do this. Those inspections were a complete violation of privacy, and a huge inconvenience to those of us that work normal business hours. Dealing with Bridges was like dealing with a government entity or something. You were talked down to, fear mongered, and harassed on a numerous things. Gaslighting tenants, especially future property owners, is not a smart thing to do when running a property management company. I will never rent a property under a Bridges contract again, and I will recommend my friends and colleagues don't ether. I will also recommend those I know who own rental properties not use them either. I was born and raised in this town, and this was the worst experience of my life in a rental in 47 years. I have both owned and rented. This is something Bridges employees should take into consideration. Not all tenants are poor underprivileged children who can't afford to own their own home. Many are students, going through a life change, here temporarily on business, or just prefer less hassle in dealing with an owned property (as in my case).

I have been severely displeased with this "company". First of all, I got the impression that the…read moreDirector, Ashley Blevins, does this part time. She only answers her phone of the time, and responds to emails days apart. For a friend, I would understand, but as a BUSINESS?, I'm confused. I attempted to book houses through this company for Masters for two months. When no contracts or agreements came in I was suspicious. When two houses that we already had accepted offers on suddenly became "rented" I was frustrated. Frusterated with the fact that Ms. Blevins did not even take the time to CONFIRM the house was available before referring it to me. When I finally demanded a contract (yes, had to actually say after two months, I NEED this by 2 or we walk) and that contract was signed and returned I was willing to overlook past unprofessionalism's. I should have not been so quick to think Masters Housing professional because the next morning I received an email from Ms. Blevins that stated : "Thank you for using the services of Masters Housing Bureau for the 2012 Masters Tournament. Unfortunately, I must report to you that the owner has declined to move forward with the rental agreement due to concerns about the use of their home. At this time, the booking will be considered null and void. Please discontinue any payments in process for the amount of this rental. I do apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter." To which my response was : As I'm sure you can imagine, I am extremely concerned with yet another property falling short. Please extend the professional courtesy of contacting me regarding the "concerns" the renter has for their property." Not even 10 minutes later I received the following correspondence: "So noted. I was not made aware of any concerns until this morning. I assure you that any other concerns will be brought to your attention as they are brought to mine. Have a wonderful afternoon." The lack of professionalism (response time, ability to produce product, returning phone calls etc) could have been overlooked for a month, but the combination of a lack of professionalism, disrespect and customer service left me with no choice but to seek another avenue for housing. I do not recommend this company either for people looking to rent a home or for people looking to have this company rent their home. Based on my experience, I would have more faith posting an add on craigs list.

Finding a home can be very difficult when you are not used to the area, downsizing and looking for a move in ready home within your budget. Well let me tell you, Tad Barber searched high and low to find what seemed impossible. This group is not driven by commission they will be making but rather doing what is right for their customer. I called several realestate companies in Aiken and many were just not interested because the commission was not worth their time. Well not the case with Tad Barber and his team. Tad himself was involved in the whole process! Most realtors would have given up because finding a decent home in the price range we were looking for was a needle in the haystack. Well not only did he find my mom a home but he went above and beyond what anyone would have ever expected! He stuck with us through the whole process. This agency cares about people and cares about its clients. So if you are looking for a company that will take care of you and stick with you this is the one. Tad provides outstanding service, is hardworking, caring, experienced, never tires, has a strong character and truly was a Godsend for us. So grateful and thankful we found the Tattersall group and especially Tad.

She projected a high level of professionalism throughout the entire transition of my selling and buying experience. When we met she told me that should could sell my home in 7 days. To be honest, I had reservations about that happening in such a short amount of time. To my surprise, she sold my home in 5 days, at top dollar. She consistently ensured all my questions and concerns were addressed in a professional and timely manner. During the selling process Lisa worked diligently to find a home that met my requirements. To be honest, I couldn't keep up with trying to remember each and every house she presented to me; but she could with no hesitation. Her knowledge of each home was remarkable. Once I saw the house that peaked my interest she became more aggressive in getting the process in motion. She even set me up with the opportunity to make substantial changes and upgrades to the home. She always made time to answer my questions or meet me at the home site to address any and every concern. Lisa Medders was extremely professional, attentive to my concerns, and well versed in real estate law. She will make you feel like you're her only client.
