“We met with Maggie to decide if this would be a good time to sell one of our rental properties. Maggie did a great job analyzing the market relative to our house and gave us insights that helped us make an informed decision. She is helping us identify new investment targets now. Along with responsive follow up and a clear ability to understand this real estate market, Maggie is also as personable as they come...We highly recommend working with her.”

"Sydney was amazing in helping me sell my house! Seriously, she made the whole process a breeze. From start to finish, her expertise, constant communication, & professional approach took off so much stress. If you're selling, do yourself a favor and contact Sydney.

"Sydney has been our agent for the past 4 months and we can't imagine working with anyone else who is more enthusiastic, patient, optimistic, and genuinely interested in helping us find the right home for us.

"It was so easy to sell our house thanks to Michelle. She is truly a wonderful realtor and a lot of fun to work with. We have had the pleasure of working with Michelle to purchase our home several years ago. We had such a great experience that we called her back to be our listing agent when we needed to sell. As always she was professional and efficient with the paperwork and dealt with our crazy s… Read Morechedules and many, many questions about what we were signing. She patiently walked us through every page and we felt like we always knew what to expect and what came next in the process. She helped us locate a few professionals to come do some touch ups to the house and she also put us in touch with a professional stager for some furniture. We listed our home just before the COVID-19 pandemic and no one knew what to expect. Michelle made sure to advertise the home and held some showings with all the precautions in place. She worked around our schedules and gave us all the space we wanted and time we needed when things got scary and locked down. Still she had no trouble at all finding buyers. Michelle continued to assist with the inspection scheduling and any additional paperwork we needed. In the end I had to sign the documents from another state and she helped me navigate that too. Having Michelle as our agent really reduced our stress." Read Less

Garner + Company are so great to work with. They helped me to sell a house that three other agents couldn't. They informed me of what needed to be done, and I listened.
