WHAT THEY SAY

We have been selling real estate for over 30 years. We have shown over 40,000 homes and closed over 4,000 homes. The awards, designations, recognition, and accolades are nothing compared to the one thing that we appreciate and long for the most. That is the satisfaction that we have done our very best, truly represented our clients best interests and have assisted in helping people in one of the most important and expensive purchases that they will have in their lifetime. That is our passion and why the Anderson Team receives the following testimonials.

  • We highly recommend Jeff for your realtor needs. We had never sold a house before and he was integral in the process explaining every step along the way. We sold our house in one weekend and then had to find a house. We had a planned vacation scheduled and Jeff being so amazing and accommodating he even did some virtual showings for us while we were on vacation. Within 2 weeks we were able to find “our” dream home and with Jeff’s assistance and expertise we were able to get our offer accepted in this highly competitive market. Jeff’s knowledge and experience made this whole process very smooth and Jeff will be our friend forever! ~Rodney and Jennifer McCullum

    Rodney and Jennifer McCullum

  • Jeff and his team did a great job for us. Though Jeff was incredibly busy, he made us feel like we were his only clients! He was always quick to respond to our questions, and moved fast to get our home on the market so we could move seamlessly into our new home. Jeff recognized that the home we zeroed in on was listed a bit high, and in a market where almost everything was bringing in offers for above asking, he helped us get our dream home below asking price! Thanks Jeff and team! ~Dustin Sawrey

    Dustin Sawrey

  • First time home buyers here! Jeff was exceptional the entire time we worked with him. From the very first time we chatted we knew he would be someone we could trust, look up to and help us find our perfect home. We knew going into the home purchasing stage of life that we were headed into a competitive market and Jeff helped us understand exactly what we needed to do and answered every single question we had (no matter how crazy!) We started our home buying search in late December and saw a house on 1/1/2021 and knew it was meant to be our home. Not only did Jeff show the house to us, but he also wrote our offer on New Years Day!!! Talk about commitment! No surprise that Jeff was able to help us secure this home as our own and we were so thankful for all the work he did. Not only was he an extraordinary realtor, but he is an incomparable friend. He has stopped by and reached out to us far beyond our closing date to help with restaurant recommendations and things to do in our new area. We love Jeff and cannot wait to watch our family grow into our new home and can’t wait for Jeff to continue to stay a part of our lives.
