He has been compassionate, kind, patient and a good listener to my interests/concerns every step of the way. Boyd is friendly and considerate to the needs of his customers. He is knowledgeable about the market and the structure of homes and knows when the house is right for you! He will protect your interests and ensure you have all the information to make an informed decision/offer on a home. Boyd is literally in the home buying process with you every step of the way and will rejoice with you at settlement! He included my mom and my kids in the process, too, understanding they were part of my process and included them as if they were the customer. In fact, my son and his wife have already been customers! By the time you're done working with Boyd, you'll feel like family. I also would like to acknowledge his wife, Carol, working behind the scenes to ensure Boyd's customers have all the information needed to make a smooth transition into home ownership. Finally, if you are in the market for a new home or real estate purchase of any kind, I would encourage you to meet with Boyd! You won't be disappointed and will most likely make a new friend! Thank you, Boyd and Carol for everything!”

Not only did Boyd provide all the answers I needed, he made the process simple and quick. He responded quickly everytime I had questions, explained everything thoroughly and never left me feeling uneasy. Home buying with Boyd has definitely been top 10 easiest things I've done.”

“ As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Boyd Grainger. Buying a home can be overwhelming, especially since I was deployed for most of the process, but Boyd made everything incredibly easy and stress-free. He guided me through every step, answered all of my questions, and always made sure I understood what was happening.He went above and beyond to help me find the right home while I was overseas, handling so much on my behalf and making me feel confident that everything was taken care of. Even after closing, he came over to help me set up my TV, which speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. That level of service and genuine care is hard to find.I never felt pressured into making a decision, and I always knew he had my best interests in mind. If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and truly committed to his clients, I can’t recommend Boyd Grainger enough.

I lost out on a few houses that I thought were going to be mine, including the home I ultimately ended up buying.Through every disappointment and setback, Boyd remained positive, patient, and encouraging - reminding me that the right home would come along.What stood out most was how genuinely invested Boyd was in the process. When things finally worked, it truly felt like my win was his win. His excitement was genuine, and that says a lot about the kind of realtor, and person, he is.Boyd wasn't simply helping me buy a house; he was in my corner throughout the entire experience. His professionalism, persistence, encouragement, and genuine care made what could have been an exhausting process something I will always look back on positively.I couldn't recommend Boyd more highly.

In addition to sharing her expertise on the home buying process, she made herself available whenever I needed to tour. Kristen went out of her way to enlighten me on some of the pros, cons and pitfalls of certain homes in the area. I found her to be very knowledgeable and patient during the entire process.

She was able to navigate our budgetary restrictions, a terrible buyers market, the beginning of covid, and managed to get first-time-home-buyers into their dream home. Due to my random work schedule she was able to make herself immediately available at a moments notice. Being able to act fast is key and Kristen was on the ball through the entire process.”

“ Nothing but the best! She helped me every step of the way to make the purchase of my first home! Shanell will be my first choice whenever it comes to buying or selling a home from now on for sure!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”

“ Working with Shanell was one of the best decisions we made as FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS! From the first conversation Shanell was personable and professional but actually working with her is what makes her stand apart. She is very knowledgeable about the intricacies of real estate. Whenever I had ANY questions she would respond to it within the next hour! As first time home buyers we didn't know how to navigate negotiation but Shanell led us with the best strategies to keep the deal sweet. Her assistant Carol was also very responsive & a joy to work with!At closing Shanell gifted us a beautiful balloon arch to put in our new house. All of our family and friends loved it! I cannot say enough great things about working with Shanell.As a first home buyer I expected a stressful experience while buying a house because that is the "norm", but with working with Shanell the process was absolutely EASY AND ENJOYABLE!! I will work with her for all future real estate needs thank you!!!”

“ Shanelle did a great job helping us these last few months!! Was very professional and went above and beyond for us and made sure we were taken care of. Made sure we were in the loop every step of the way and explained anything we didn’t know and answered all questions we had.”

“ We asked a lot of Liz as we were working from out of state and had her interfacing locally with our son and daughter in law. She's very quick on the uptake, gained insight into what we were looking for, and was able to communicate and coordinate activities regardless of who she was meeting with. All of this made a challenging process much easier.Once we had settled on a property, Liz worked well with the seller's agent and was able to address every issue we encountered through inspection and closing. She's a true professional, communicates clearly, engages all parties to assure alignment, and knows how to resolve issues that have the potential to slow things down. We highly recommend Liz Hart.”

“ Liz was amazing through the entire process with tons of communication and suggestions. She was incredibly helpful and understanding to exactly what we were looking for. She knows the entire state well to match you to the type of property you are looking for, and handled our millions of questions like a champion . She is incredibly personable and friendly. Liz made the entire process and absolute breeze.”

“ Working with Liz was such a great experience. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing!I was originally working with another realtor, and I quickly realized they did not have my best interests in mind. My loan officer recommended working with Liz, and I immediately knew I had made the right decision. One thing I am very keen on is integrity, and at no point did I feel like I was just a business transaction. She is an honest and knowledgeable professional that didn’t let us settle on a house until she knew we had found “the one.” I couldn’t be happier! I am confident I’ve found my forever home, but if I ever decide to move, she is the first person I’ll reach out to.”

“ Liz played an essential role in helping us buy our first home. She was professional, organized, and consistently communicated clearly throughout the process.She went above and beyond for us—whether it was staying on top of every detail, providing timely updates, or ensuring we fully understood each step. Her commitment and reliability made the entire experience much smoother and less stressful.We’re grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and dependable real estate professional.”

“ Lacy was the perfect realtor to have as a first time home buyer. She explained everything very clearly and helped me to get an absolutely beautiful house despite the market being extremely competitive. I highly recommend Lacy to anyone looking for a home!”
