Phil was there to provide his expertise every step of the way and went above and beyond the scope of what we have experienced in the past with other realtors. There came an opportunity to conduct a walk-through of the property after many disappointing visits to homes that did not quite fit, and Phil made it happen within hours. Phil's expertise in the realty market allowed us to place an offer to the sellers that was fair and within a half day, the offer was accepted and off we went doing the new homebuyer paperwork shuffle. Phil put us in contact with an amazing mortgage lender that are well-experienced with VA Loans and they were able to provide an outstanding rate, even with all the rates being over inflated during that time. Phil made the entire process seamless and now we are living in our dream home (with a few additional amenities in the home we did not expect as well). If you want pure professionalism and trust without the awkward hassle and to be treated like family, go with Phil Brannan! You will not be disappointed and you too can be in your dream home. -Matt A.

Please be cautious when using Odessa Patton, Agent at Keller, Williams Downing Group Real Estate. Our closing process was horrendous! We wired ALL of the closing fees and was prepared to close on Oct 18th. As we were in transient to the Attorney's Office for closing. We received a call from our agent, to inform us that she had overlooked the 0.5% that should have been factored in to her commission. She apologized for the inconvenience. We retired after 30 years of working for the Army, Air Force, Marines, and Navy. We were excited about our forever home to located near family. On the contrary our dreams were shattered, all due to my realtor, Odessa Patton. Once arriving to the attorney's office, we were informed that Ms. Patton had just notified them of her OVERSIGHT approximately a hour or so ago! Our attorneys tried to negotiate with Ms. Patton since all of the payments had been finalized. She denied the negotiations. Needless to say, we were unable to close was scheduled because Keller Williams Real Estate could have placed a lien on our house and sold it from under us. We depended on this Agent to successfully operate in her field. She fell short due to her inability to pay attention to detail. This was a huge disappointment for my husband and I because we followed every step as informed. We drove two hours to our anticipated closing appointment and scheduled services to be performed the day of closing. What was supposed to be a two hour exciting trip ended up being a 48 hours nightmare. We had to reschedule our wifi, security system, etc. due to the not being issued keys at closing; we were forced to reschedule. In order to return the next day, we had to get a hotel room and purchase clothing and toiletries. This was an inconvenience for me and my husband. Lastly, the 3% commission ended up being more than 3.5% because we had to pay her real estate company's Admin fee.
