Dana Staples and her incredible team worked with us to sell our lake home on a small, private lake…read more They made sure the pictures and presentation of our weekender were appealing, the price was right, and the marketing was professional. We had many interested buyers tour the home and received a cash offer within a couple weeks. Our buyer was one of Dana's many clients, and she was selling her home with Dana too. About five months later we missed the water so much we bought another lake home that Dana had listed on Lake Palestine. Once we were interested in the house her team worked with us through every step to ensure that our questions were answered, concerns were addressed, and that the closing went well. Dana Staples and her team have the experience that helps you avoid problems, and the patience necessary to support buyers and sellers through the many steps involved in real estate transactions. We recommend them! (We got and still get email notifications of houses that fit our needs, and that was how we heard about the house we bought. I recommend this service if you are in the market for a lake home. It greatly reduces the time spent on the internet searching for the right house.)

We have bought and sold commercial property for more than 30 years in seven different cities in…read morefour states. NEVER have we encountered such laziness and misogyny. After six months they could not lease the building so we put it up for sale. We asked for weekly reports, and in seven months only got two! We asked that both husband and wife be kept in the email communications, and continually the wife was excluded. The price was set below market value, and yet once an offer was made, suggestion was made that we come down even lower! The buyer accepted because we stood firm. Then we are informed that utilities had been turned off and they were unaware, indicating to us that they had not been in the building or had made much of an effort to show it. Once at the building we see the sale sign is one sided and erected parallel to a highway, rather than two sided and perpendicular which is usual and customary in the business. Not only would I not recommend this group; I would suggest putting up a sign for sale by owner before ever using them!

While under my house setting some rodent traps, i noticed a portion of my foundation (a sill) was…read morerotten. Of course, it had to be repaired. When it comes to the foundation of your house and the money it costs to repair it, you want to use the best company available. You only want to repair it once. I spoke with countless people--those who had their foundation repaired and those in the building trade--for guidance. Many had bad experiences. I initially called two companies I knew nothing about to come out..I went beneath my house with both of them during their inspection and learned there was a 2nd rotted sill and a major beam that needed to be replaced. I asked for references from both companies. Neither company was local to Palestine. The first company seemed okay, but had one bad BBB review from a veteran so I decided not to use it. I almost signed a contract with the 2nd company until I read the fine print that absolved it from any damages the repair might cause to just about everything on my property including my driveway. I write all of this to say I did a lot of research to find the right company since the repair was big.. Tritico is a local construction company. My neighbor used them and thought highly of them. The mason I've used suggested I use a contractor and not a foundation company since he'd seen several foundation companies ruin the brickwork on homes. Homeowners usually don't know who is on the foundation company crews or how much experience they have. Tritico was excellent. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. This was NOT a fun job and the fact that one beam to be replaced was key to the support of the house made it even more difficult. Tritico takes pride in its work. These folks have integrity and did the best job they were capable of. I was also realistic: I knew there might be damage to my drywall, plumbing, and/or brickwork, but that didn't happen. Also note, I didn't ask Tritico what the cost would be because I wanted the job done correctly regardless of the cost. In the end, the cost fell between the estimates given to me by the two other companies. Also note, I did go beneath my house to inspect the completed work. Tritico is terrific. I would use them again in a heartbeat for just about any construction work.

Lacy is so amazing!…read more This was the first home purchase for my partner and myself. We were very nervous with the whole process as neither of us had any experience with home buying. But from day 1 to close, she has been incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, quick to respond, and great with communication. During the first initial looking around phase, she was super responsive and had a great amount of availability. We even looked around on Fourth of July weekend, and she was able to fit us in. She was also communicative after we had a big storm and many of the houses that we were going to look at were without power. Lacy doesn't pull any punches, in the best possible way. She will tell you if it's a good deal or a bad deal and will give her honest feedback when looking at houses. She never had any biases towards any house based on seller or agent. She was happy to look at the houses we wanted to look at as well. We had some maybes, some instant nos, and a few yeses. She was happy to explain everything in detail early in the process and could answer any questions we had. We did not feel pressure to make decisions quickly, and she was very patient in the whole process. When we decided to put an offer in, she worked double time to make sure that everything was facilitated. She truly has provided white glove service as she called it, where I didn't need to pick up the phone once. Everything was handled- she has a guy for everything. We had a pre approval at another bank but switched to her recommended lender because it was a better deal. She surrounds herself with excellence, so all her resources were top notch. In all phases of the process, I never once felt like I couldn't ask a question or that anything was being hidden. I was never shocked when anything came up. I felt like I had a modicum of control in a process that was super stressful and felt like a whirlwind at times. She helped us through getting inspections, getting necessary repairs completed, speaking with the seller and agent on our behalf, and basically let us step aside and focus on packing and getting things wrapped up at our current place. Even up to when we were closing, she was still helping by providing various resources with regards to cleaning, electricians, moving, etc. I get the feeling that she truly loves what she does, and it comes across in every interaction we have had with her. I can also rest assured that she isn't the type that will shut down and move on instantly once the house closes. She provides as much support after the sale as we need. We hope to keep our house for the long haul. But I know we will be able to call Lacy whenever we need her again!
