My wife and I had been having a hard time finding a real estate agent that we liked working with. The first one we got was only part time and referred us to another agent. We had a good list of homes we wanted to look at so it may have been too much for them. The new agent did show us a home reluctantly because even though I told him we have a bank we are working with he didn't do much for us but did show us one house. We didn't like his attitude so I went to the Dave Ramsey website to find a real estate agent. I had done this several years ago when I bought a house in the past and found a good agent there. I did this again and found Skender-Newton Realty. They contacted me quickly and wanted to work with us. I hesitated a bit even though I wanted to move quickly in order to wait and see what they would do. They satisfied my concerns and continue to answer every question quickly. They showed me a house right away even though I didn't have a preapproval in writing, I told them the bank is finishing up some details and I should have it soon. They showed us a house that same day. The preapproval notice came in shortly after that on the same day. I made an offer on the property, it was accepted by the present owner and we are moving forward to buy the home. This real estate company is phenomenal and helping us every step of the way. We are hoping to complete the closing on our new home once the closing on our present home is complete. read more

I recently sold my out-of-state home with a realtor associated with Compass. To say that I was underwhelmed with the agent and transaction in general would be an understatement! My sister and her husband have been looking for a home in Cookeville for us all for over a year. Cassandra and Jamie Cravens with Skender - Newton Realty have been tireless in helping us to find the home that fits all our needs in our desired location. Their professionalism in supporting us in our search and tenacity playing hardball on our behalf with the sellers was what every buyer, in our case, or seller would hope to find in real estate agents. I would have paid for their flight to my former residence in California in order for them to have been the agents working on my behalf when selling that house. I truly believe that Cassandra and Jamie earned their commission on this transaction, and I have no doubt that they provide this service to all their clients. This level of service is intrinsically in their makeup. Do yourself a favor and contact this team when you are buying or selling! read more

Having the Heather Skender-Newton team working for us to sell our home was the best decision we could've made. As first-time sellers, we had many questions about the process. When we contacted Heather Skender-Newton's office, we were quickly connected with SNR seller's agent Candy Cravens who explained every step of the process to us and never left us guessing what to expect next. We asked LOTS of questions and felt confident knowing that if there was anything Candy couldn't answer, there was a team of knowledgable professionals just a phone call away to help. Candy helped us determine a listing price for our home that was spot-on for the market, getting us an offer within a week. We felt that we had support around the clock and received good communication from the SNR team throughout the listing, marketing and closing. It felt like we had a team of our friends working for us. They were honest with us, were loyal to our best interests and were there when we needed them. We would, and will, recommend Skender-Newton Realty to our friends and family! read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Challice Ledford as our realtor. Challice took the time to get to know what we were looking for in a home. Being new to the state of Tennessee and the first time in over 30 years that we were looking to buy a home, she guided us through the whole process. She is very personable, professional, and hard working. Challice is quick to respond to text messages and phone calls. I would without hesitation recommend her to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a home. We felt a personal connection with her and are glad to call her a friend. In addition, I would like to add that working with some of the other people from the Skender-Newton realty team was also a pleasure. Everyone was very friendly, experienced, and knowledgeable. It was refreshing working with a realty company where it was evident the employees are highly valued. This was reflected in every interaction I had. read more

We recently worked with Missy Haney of Skender Newton Realty to purchase a house in the Cookeville area while we were out of state.

We were very worried about buying a house that we weren't there to see in person, but working with Missy eased our mind and we were able to find exactly the house we were looking for.

He showed me at least 20 different properties and was always willing to make time whenever I was available to go look at houses. His communication was outstanding throughout the entire process, and he was always quick to answer my questions. What I appreciated most was his honesty. Jason never tried to sell me on a house that wasn't right for me. Instead, he gave me his genuine opinion on each property, pointing out both the positives and the potential issues. That made me feel confident that he had my best interests in mind. Overall, the home-buying process was a great experience thanks to Jason.

The team at SNR was outstanding and we really enjoyed working with them. Very responsive to questions and willing to dig out the details for every property we looked at. As an out of town buyer, we depended on them for their local knowledge and they delivered. Our agent Tyler Wilson was a pleasure to work with. With limited time in the Cookeville area for our house hunting trip, Tyler was able to schedule us to see all 25 homes we wanted to see within a 3 day window. We even looked at some that were well outside of their normal service area. We will recommend SNR to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. read more

We met our realtor through Glen Beck Realtors You Can Trust. Missy Haney was awesome to work with. Since we were moving from out of state, I was concerned about how we would work together.

He was fantastic at communicating with us all the things we could expect to come up during the period when we were under contract. We couldn't have asked for a better experience in buying our first home. read more
