My husband and I worked with Kym Fleming at Atlanta Communities when purchasing our first home…read more Although we successfully closed in April, the experience left us feeling unsupported and inadequately guided during several important parts of the transaction. Our concerns were not simply that every request was not accepted by the sellers. We understand that negotiations do not always go a buyer's way. Our concerns were about the quality of the advice, communication, advocacy, and transaction oversight we received. The most financially significant issue involved the sellers remaining in the home after closing. Before agreeing to the arrangement, we did not feel adequately advised that rent, compensation, or other terms could potentially be negotiated for post-closing occupancy. We only learned about those options later through our own online research rather than from the agent we trusted to educate and guide us as first-time buyers. Once we understood the financial impact, we asked for the refrigerator to be included in exchange for allowing the sellers to remain without paying rent, but it was not formally negotiated or secured. We ultimately continued paying approximately $2,400 in apartment rent while owning a home we could not yet occupy. While Kym did obtain a seller contribution toward our closing costs, that does not change the fact that we did not feel fully informed about our options or strategically advised regarding what to offer for the home or the occupancy arrangement. We knew every request might not be accepted, but we still expected our agent to clearly explain the available options, potential financial consequences, and possible negotiation strategies so that we could make an informed decision. Instead, I was left to conduct my own research and seek guidance from family members who had not purchased a home in decades. There were also communication and transaction-management issues. Two days before closing, I identified incorrect numbers in the closing documentation and learned that updated information had not reached our lender. At several points, I felt I was personally monitoring and correcting matters that I expected our agent to manage. I later submitted a detailed complaint to the managing broker and received a relatively quick reply from Sandee Burnham. Her initial response attributed some communication problems to my having "unsubscribed" from Kym's emails, even though I did not unsubscribe until well after closing and moving in. The broker later acknowledged that this was not an accurate characterization but maintained the same overall conclusion which was that Kym's lack of knowledge, guidance and support did not fall " below Atlanta Communities' professional standards" which says a lot about their business. I recognize that the brokerage reviewed the file and determined that none of its professional standards or ethics rules were violated. However, determining that conduct did not rise to the level of a formal violation is not the same as providing an informed, supportive, and well-managed client experience. The lack of follow-through continued through the end of the transaction. At our final walk-through, Kym told us she had forgotten the closing gift she intended to give us and would stop by with it the following week after returning from a trip. We never heard from her or saw her again. As first-time homebuyers, we expected stronger guidance, communication, advocacy, and follow-through from both our agent and the brokerage. I would tell people to RUN from this company and find another option that will give you the proper home buying experience. Edit: I moved on... until Kym replied to my Zillow review with a version of events that contains multiple inaccuracies & only reinforces my original concerns. Negotiating closing costs doesn't erase the lack of guidance/oversight or the fact that I caught the closing error two days, not weeks, before closing. If Kym advocated for us during the transaction as much as she is advocating for herself now, perhaps this review would not exist.

Their professionalism and knowledge were impressive. Before we listed, the stager and photographer were brought in to help us make our house a true showplace. We worked hard getting things ready, and Alicia was there to help and support us. Our listing went live on a Thursday, the Open House was held on a Sunday, and we had two full price offers on Monday! Alicia is a hard working, caring, and involved realtor. She really listens and does everything she can to help get the best price for your home. During a stressful time of upheaval and change, Alicia was there to offer support and a calming influence. We are now in our new home, and we could never have done it this quickly without Alicia and her team. We will definitely recommend Alicia to anyone who plans to sell their home - she's the best!

Steer clear. Buyer beware…read more I can't stress this enough. Berkshire Hathaway is out to make a dime at anyone's expense - in my opinion and within my experience. Tom Faust has continued to rush my wife and I to the finish line of our house buying without having our best interests in mind. We trusted him to have our best interest in mind and we thought our discussions would be represented within the contract, but they were not. We discussed the portions of our contract with our realtor, Tom, but our contracts never seemed to represent our discussions. Therefore, we signed without reading every small check marked box - reasonably thinking that Tom had accurately depicted the contract in our conversations. He slipped in minor details that benefitted him, without discussing the changes with us first. For example, he decided to select to give up our due diligence period in a contract amendment [pertaining to fixing items from the inspection by the seller] without discussing it with us first. He proceeded to tell us that the new contract amendment only had two changes, which included the repairs to our home, and there was zero discussion about him checking a small box stating we would entirely give up the duration of our due diligence period immediately upon signing the amendment. A reasonable person would not assume that signing a contract amendment to have some windows fixed would lead your real estate agent to select giving up the duration of your due diligence period, without ever discussing the due diligence period portion of this amendment. It was a small box that was not noticeable to my reading eye, nor would I ever guess that a real estate agent would do something so reckless without discussing. If my wife and I were still in our due diligence, and it would have not been wrongly taken away from us, we would have backed out because of our terrible experience with Berkshire Hathaway and Tom Faust. In addition, he broke our buyer brokerage agreement. The agreement states that he isn't allowed to discuss familial status, school systems, and anything that would negatively impact our determination of the house buying process. However, when we were looking at buying in Smyrna, Georgia, he told my wife and I: "If you repeat this, I will deny it because I'm not allowed to discuss the schools, BUT Smyrna has the worst school systems in the county, which will directly impact your resell value." My wife and I had been looking in Smyrna for over 6 months and this directly impacted our decision. Not only did he violate this fair housing law but he negatively put us in a situation that Berkshire Hathaway will not remedy. Berkshire Hathaway is truly the worst and we express this opinion and experience to help save others who are facing similar issues.

Don't ever try to rent from here--- especially from KEYLA BERRY. As recent transplants to Atlanta,…read moreshe emailed us (a Saturday) saying that a property was available, which we responded immediately. No follow up. We repeatedly tried to get back in contact with her over the weekend and over during the beginning of the week. No response. When we tried calling on Tuesday to try to set up a showing on Wednesday (as we were flying in to Atlanta Wednesday) she was incredibly rude and unprofessional saying that couldn't tell us if the property was available or not-- even though she emailed us. So of course the next step is trying to schedule a showing and she kept speaking over my husband saying that ...."rental market moves quickly... blah blah blah... well Keyla, we are literally asking to set something up within 24 hours, and you keep saying it is our fault that we keep calling to see the place. Finally I said to my husband just to get off the phone as it wasn't going anywhere. If the rental market moves so quickly then how about you respond to people in a timely and professional manner?

Before we even made the move, Ashton spent time on the phone helping us narrow down neighborhoods and align our search with our top priorities. When it came to viewing homes, she was direct, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. Coming from the Northeast, we were totally unfamiliar with local structural nuances like stucco exteriors, but Ashton proactively pointed out exactly what to look for. Her expertise didn't stop at finding the house, either--she connected us with fantastic local vendors, including a great mortgage broker, cleaners, electricians, and engineers for a retaining wall project. Her guidance on crafting a competitive offer got us the home we loved, and the entire paperwork and closing process was seamless and efficient. We were genuinely amazed at how effortless buying a home from 1,000 miles away could be. If you are relocating or buying locally, you could not ask for a better advocate than Ashton!"
