CLIENT TESTIMONIAL // We engaged Tonya for the Full Search Home Purchaser package, and it was the best decision in our home search. Tonya understood our brief perfectly—our price points, preferred area, and the type of houses we were looking for. She saved us a lot of time by handling most of the legwork: organizing house tours, conducting searches, negotiating with sellers, and attending auctions.Tonya provided invaluable advice and explained her thought process, which greatly assisted us in making informed decisions, especially since we were relatively inexperienced. What we admire most about Tonya is her wonderful personality and remarkable efficiency! She expedited many crucial tasks within a short timeframe, tasks that we couldn't have managed on our own—such as arranging home tours, compiling property reports, and scheduling building inspections.Finding the right property took several attempts, but Tonya played a pivotal role in ensuring that we found a home we love without overpaying. We just signed the contract for our new home this week, and we owe it all to Tonya. We truly appreciate you! - Niquita and Jasper

Did you know?// Memphis Design references a design movement that emerged in the early 1980s. The design was named after the city of Memphis, Tennessee, where it all began. Known for its bold, quirky, and playful application of design, it is depicted by geometric shapes, bold colors, and a departure from traditional styles. The design gained significant attention at the Milan Furniture Fair in 1981 and subsequently influenced furniture, textiles, graphics, and interior design. Although relatively short-lived initially, there has been an uptick in interest in recent years.

What are those values, you may ask? We embody fierce tenacity in everything we do for our clients. Our focus is on reaching the finish line and achieving the best client outcomes, not on company-client turnover. Digging deeper into the 'why,' all our staff members have had successful careers and possess skills finely tuned for the roles of advisor and advocate. High job satisfaction ranks high on our list, underscoring how deeply we care for our clients. This 'why' ensures the best client outcomes every time.

Did you know? // Do you know the real risk of not having a building inspection? Part of our role is to protect our clients in a purchase. We have experience and first-hand knowledge of the building risks that can be present in a purchase. In the photo is a moisture reader showing significantly high levels of moisture in the shower wall, indicating that the shower's waterproofing has either failed or is non-existent. This can lead to significant mold growth and compromise the internal structure in the long term. This is not a quick or inexpensive fix!
