My wife and I have purchased and sold quite a few homes over the years, as job transfers took us…read moreacross the country to 10 different states. Those experiences have been mixed as in some places we found a terrific agent and others we did not. In selling our West-End Beaumont home we were extremely lucky to find Dayna Simmons Real Estate. Dayna herself came out and met with Lisa and I. Her comp numbers/examples, view point of the current market, and recommendations for the best approach were refreshing. They are probably to most tech savvy group we have ever used with respect to digital media and targeted advertising. Her team includes agents, a staging professional, an in-house photographer and specialists that deal with listings and digital media. Even those answering the phone were true real estate professionals. We had access and exposure to everyone on her team. A true focus on selling our home as quickly and for as much as possible. The bottom line is that results are what matter most. We accepted an offer within 3 days of the listing going live. Phone calls, text messages and the special "group chat" they set up were all answered within minutes. Communication was truly the best we have ever experienced. Every step was professional and made easy by Dayna and her team. Without a doubt Dayna and her company have our highest recommendation. There is truly no one better!

I hired Dayna Simmons Real Estate to help me sell a home we inherited in Orange, TX. We live in…read moreanother state, so I was looking for someone who would give me good advice on the market, and be there for us as we worked through this process. I received terrible advice on the market, and was told I'd be lucky if the house sold in 6 months to a year. I had 2 offers in a week and a half, and 4 others who wanted to make offers but never got the chance. The buyer used a different realtor, yet I was told by Dayna how they went "above and beyond" to sell the house, and aren't your typical realtor. That's why they wanted to charge me 6.5%. When I pushed back, I was told the going rate in TX is 7 to 7.5% for real estate sales. A simple Google search told me that wasn't true! An estate sale agent was recommended by them, that canceled on us the night before. When I brought this to their attention I was told, "That's why we don't like to recommend people". WHAT?? They did recommend that agent!! Then, as we were clearing out the house, and holding the sale ourselves, I kept getting text messages asking when we would be out of the house. It became so annoying, I just starting ignoring. them. As far as I was concerned, we had until closing to be out. Most communication was via text message. I certainly didn't think this was a proper way to do business. It was like we were working for her, not the other way around. Then at closing, I was again told what a great job they did in selling the house so fast and what a great market it is in that area. In short, I would not recommend this real estate company. I felt like everything was to their advantage, including the closing, which was scheduled in Beaumont when the house is in Orange. I wish I had gone with another agent.

I can't say enough good things about Katie Martin. We began our relationship with Katie in 2011,…read morewhen we were transferred from Delaware to Orange, Texas. We had less than a week to find the perfect house. I worked with Katie to get together a list of suitable homes, and she had the appointments all perfectly lined up when we got to Texas. We looked at 30+ homes in just a few days! We did end up finding our home, and got our deal negotiated and even our inspection set up before we left. When we were transferred out of Texas in 2015, we listed our home with Katie. She came and gave us a market analysis, with all of the information we needed to list our home for the right price. She even had a professional photographer come to make sure that our house got the most attention possible. She stayed in contact regularly, and updated us with weekly stats. The one thing that is most important to me when working with a realtor is communication - and Katie is SO incredibly quick to respond, whether by phone, email, or text. You always feel like a priority to Katie; you know that she has your best interests in mind. I only wish that I could have taken her along with me when we moved!

This company has several realtors, but we were very disappointed with the one we worked with when…read morewe sold our house in Orange, Texas. She was "out of town" or unavailable for other reasons A LOT. She was very unorganized. She would request information that had been sent to her 3 weeks earlier. When she responded to emails, she wouldn't address the questions we had asked her. She would say she was going to make calls, send pictures, etc., and wouldn't follow through. Terrible experience! I do not recommend using Debbie H. as a realtor. When we signed the contract with her, we thought she was the best in the area. Boy, were we wrong. We did get our house sold, but it was like pulling teeth to get her to do her part.

Selling one's childhood home is never easy, but Tim Williams of Keller-Williams truly made the…read moreprocess for my brother and I as painless as possible. From the moment we spoke with Tim, he exuded professionalism and optimism that established a sense of trustworthiness right from the beginning. During the entire selling process, the same traits of professionalism, optimism, and trust were shown over and over again. He called when he said he would, he made a plan to sell our house within a certain timeframe, and he was confident and optimistic that he would find the right buyer and that it would SELL! It did sell, all according to his plan, because of those core traits. We will miss our childhoom home, but we put our faith in Tim to help us with this rite of passage. We could not have made a better choice! Thank you, Tim! We encourage anyone buying or selling a house to use Tim. He has an abundance of contacts in SE Texas, is knowledgeable, professional and honest, and is motivated to help his clients. An amazing realtor indeed!
