Shelby Hodges is the best real estate broker we have ever encountered! From our first meeting, it took us less than a month to find and purchase our perfect dream home in Saint Augustine! When my son and his wife were looking for a home in St. Augustine in 2020, Shelby was their first choice for a real estate broker. She worked closely with them, and in no time they found the home of their dreams! My son and his wife praised Shelby's knowledge, professionalism, and affability. So, in 2021, when my husband and I started thinking about purchasing a house in St. Augustine for our retirement years, my son and his wife highly recommended Shelby Hodges. Without hesitation, we agreed to ask Shelby to help us in our search! On March 4th, my son arranged a Zoom meet-and-greet, which was very personable and informative. Shelby asked pertinent questions about our likes and dislikes in a home in St. Augustine, in addition to our price range. After our ZOOM meet-and-greet, Shelby started emailing us available listings in St Augustine, so we could determine what we liked and disliked about the homes and their locations. A couple weeks later, we decided we wanted a house walking distance to the beach and located in a quiet neighborhood. A few days later, we saw the listing for a perfect house that checked off more boxes than we thought were possible and/or available! We were so excited! My son and his wife attended the open house since we live in Massachusetts . So, we put an offer on the house and closed on April 5th! How great is that? My husband and I are so grateful to have found Shelby Hodges. We admire her knowledge of the St. Augustine area and the homes available. Shelby's mannerisms were always professional and friendly. With all the special attention she was giving us, she made us feel as if we were her only clients. Our questions were answered and our concerns were solved so quickly! Shelby made sure that we were happy at all times. Most of all, we really love Shelby's affability, because she's so friendly and easy to talk to. We feel as if we've known her our whole lives! Shelby will continue to be a part of our lives. If you're looking for a real estate broker, my husband and I highly recommend Shelby Hodges. She's amazing! read more

Shelby was the BEST relator! I seriously can't sing praises loud enough about her. We were lucky enough to not only sell our first home but BUY our dream home all within 45 days of each other My husband and I started the journey with Shelby about 8 months ago and she was nothing but patient with us through the entire process. We went back and forth on selling our home, keeping our home as a rental, buying a different home, renting a home etc. too many times to count. She was so understanding and never pushed us one way or the other. Just provided support and expertise when asked. When we finally made the decision to sell our home Shelby was on-top of it. She never settled for anything less than perfection during the process and kept us up to date every step of the way. We decided we wanted to sell on a Friday and the house was listed and on the market on Wednesday the next week and under contract the next day!!! We thought we had a plan after we sold our home but we ended up falling into our dream home that was a for sale by owner but we couldn't imagine going through the process without her so she helped us every step of the way. We now live in our forever home and couldn't be more thankful for Shelby! If you're in the market to buy or sell she is the best of the best. read more

There was no question as to who would help me when it came time to purchase my first home. Shelby has proven to be one of the best realtor's in the area, especially for first time home buyers (she has helped a few of my friends find their first homes, too). Shelby knows her stuff and doesn't waste any time! When I saw a condo that I loved hit the market, Shelby was my first call. She showed me the property within hours and submitted my offer the same day. She kept me informed throughout the process (there were multiple offers on the table), and she made the contract process just as easy once the sellers accepted. I was in awe at how smooth the process was, and that was all thanks to Shelby's experience and clear communication. Oh, and don't forget the delicious, personalized cookies on closing day! They were my first meal in my first home, and it's a gesture and memory I'll never forget! Thank you, Shelby! This first-timer couldn't be happier with my realtor, my new home and the entire process! read more

Choosing Shelby as our Realtor was the best decision we made in buying our first home. In a process with so many unknowns, Shelby was our guiding light and helped us find the perfect place for our family. We had such a great experience working with Shelby that our parents actually immediately hired her to sell their home! Shelby is organized, detail-oriented, communicative, and has great intuition. She is skilled at working with clients on everything from small details to big decisions and is extremely effective throughout the entire process of finding properties, negotiating, and the inspection process. She is also extremely knowledgeable about St. Augustine, which was critical to us as buyers new to the area. She always went above and beyond for us. We will always go to Shelby in the future, and we highly recommend that you make her your first call, whether you are selling or buying! We cannot recommend her enough. read more

As first-time home-buyers, my partner and I had a ton of questions and required a lot of guidance; words cannot do justice to Shelby's level of kindness and patience! She is incredibly thorough and did an amazing job guiding us through the home buying process. She provided input when we needed it, allowing us to think about and consider all options, but always gave us space to make our own decisions. We were particularly impressed with her efficiency, organization, and attention to detail. Shelby is also incredibly well-connected (she knows EVERYONE!) and can provide recommendations for every service imaginable. Beyond being an outstanding realtor, Shelby is an all-around amazing person. I would absolutely recommend Shelby to anyone interested in purchasing or selling a home. read more

My husband and I used Shelby to purchase our investment property in St. Augustine. We flew down for 3 days with one goal in mind... to buy a house! Shelby spent an entire day with us walking us through the ins and outs of the real estate market, the home options available within our budget AND between showings drove us through a lot of areas unique to St. Augustine which helped us get an idea of community as well. The experience start to finish went perfectly and we felt like we had strong, knowledgeable and professional representation throughout the process. I would highly recommend her and we plan to use her again when the time comes to purchase another property! read more

Shelby helped me purchase my condo in St. Augustine, and her honesty and direction were very helpful in ensuring I made the suitable investment. Her knowledge of the area was priceless. Not only did she help me find and buy our condo five years later she used her personal connections to sell the condo in one day. She matched the perfect buyer with my needs, selling it turnkey, so I had an easy move-out. Her referrals to other professionals, such as inspectors and title and mortgage companies, ensure smooth transactions. I wish I could find a Shelby for my next investment in the Carolinas. read more

Shelby Shelby is the best realtor. She made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable. I encourage you to go with her recommendations for a lender, inspector, title, and surveyor agencies. I'm an extremely busy girl and unfortunately forgetful, but Shelby was on it the entire time. She met with the inspector when I couldn't, she spoke with the lender when I wasn't able to, and she sent me reminder text to make sure I had my ducks in a row. Shelby goes above and beyond with customer service. I've never met someone who truly cares like she does. I absolutely love my new home. read more
