Working with Cristina was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Right from our first conversation, she made us feel supported and comfortable during what can be a very emotional process. She’s warm and genuine, always checking in, offering reassurance, and truly caring about both the practical and personal sides of selling my home. Cristina is a great communicator—always quick to respond, clear, and proactive. She kept us updated at every stage, identified potential challenges in advance, and handled them smoothly. Whether she was coordinating showings, handling details with inspectors, or following up to resolve issues, she was always ahead of the game. What really stands out is her positive attitude and optimism. Even when things got stressful, she stayed calm, encouraging, and focused on solutions—which made a huge difference. She made us feel confident that my home was being taken care of by someone we could trust. Cristina truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and it shows. I’m so grateful for her dedication, patience, and kindness throughout this journey. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Joy was of the most knowledgeable and professional agents we’ve ever worked with. My husband and I have multiple properties and we seem to always find small mistakes in our contracts with other agents but not with Joy! She sold our house quickly after listing it, with some of the most beautiful real estate pictures we've ever seen, found us a new property and worked with the buyers of the new house and sellers of the property we purchased to insure the closing lined up for a 1031 exchange. There were so many moving parts and Joy was able get them closed without any issues. We recommend Joy for all of your real estate needs!

Joy has been an absolute saint for patiently helping us navigate finding our Highlands home. She set up so many vendors (we had no clue where to start) without even asking while we were preoccupied in Atlanta with work and two small children. She advocated so well for us and we are so excited to finally have a house in the Highlands after YEARS of searching. We are so grateful for Joy and would recommend her to anyone!

Our experience with Judy at BHMMR was exceptional in every way! From her patience with us while we looked at numerous properties without pressuring us to settle to her prompt response to all our inquiries, it was a true pleasure to work with her. Even after closing she continues to help us with little things such as getting repairs done and recommending vendors. We have bought and sold multiple properties over the years, and we could not have been happier with our experience - Judy and her office are true professionals.

Betty is stellar ! She went out of her way to ensure that all of the permitting and nuances of a new lot purchase were completed on time and 100% correct. She is a seasoned expert who guided us through the the entire process.

We thought Betty did an excellent job of setting up appointments for 7 home visits late October and was very thoughtful of our mindset and kept an open mind asking us questions about properties to help us figure out what kind of property/home would suit our needs. Although nothing spoke to us on that initial visit, we kept getting listings and found another that she helped us with an offer that was quite a bit lower than asking price, but I think through her knowledge of listing, she knew it would be considered and it was accepted. She worked well with us on closing situations, and got it done, albeit with a delay in sellers paperwork. The office in Highlands was convenient. Betty knows the area so well and that was evident and appreciated.

We cannot heap enough praise on the work that Louise did for us in finding our new home in Cashiers! Being long distance buyers, we needed someone who could help us navigate the different options that were available to us. She spent countless hours looking at different places, sending us videos and pictures and giving us her expert opinion on each one. Once we found the perfect spot, Louise guided us every step of the way from making an offer to closing on our new home. Louise was so easy to communicate with and her knowledge of the area and real estate market was impressive. She went above and beyond for us. We could not have been in better hands! We give Louise Booth the highest recommendation.
