Testimonials

“The morning of July 2nd, 2021, was when I saw a Facebook post by Bruce West, whom I had known for many years and worked with in the Emmaus Walk Ministry, saying that he had changed careers, was now a Realtor, and if anyone needed to buy or sell property, he’d be glad to talk to them about representation. I texted him that I was indeed interested in selling my home at Brownspur.  Bruce and Gwendolyn lived about ten miles south of me in Hollandale, just down the street from my brother Beau. He called back that afternoon and made an appointment to come by Monday to look at my homestead, which consisted of a big two-story 1898 Plantation Home, with nearly 6000 sq. ft. under roof and an 1800 sq. ft. guest house connected by a covered walkway, all on six acres, including an old-fashioned sand-bottomed Swimming Hole with a shooting range behind it. Betsy and I had listed Brownspur several times in the past few years after all our kids got out from underfoot, intending to move to smaller quarters in our Golden Years, but had never gotten a serious offer.  She had passed away suddenly the week after our 55th Anniversary, six months before the Covid-19 pandemic hit. I viewed that as an opportunity to catch it and die, to go be with Betsy, so had done absolutely nothing to the house and yard in over two years since her death.  Bruce advised me to go with a “Buy-As-Is” approach, and we signed an agreement for representation Tuesday morning. He e-mailed me Thursday morning that he was showing it to a couple at 5:30 that afternoon.  Monday morning he called to say that he had an offer, so I met him early Tuesday.  The couple had offered less than we had listed it for, but three other people had contacted him over the weekend to say they were interested in looking at Brownspur.  What did I want to do? "Let’s make them a counter-offer, halfway the difference,” I suggested.  He nodded and dialed where we stood in the parking lot of the Double Quik gas station in Leland. He never got off the phone: “They took it,” he exclaimed! I had no idea how much paperwork was involved by so many parties from North Carolina to Nashville, Tennessee, to Leland, Greenwood, Cleveland, Brownspur, to Sumner where I now live, re-married to Cindy, Betsy’s former Ole Miss roommate.  Bruce took care of dotting all the i’s and crossing all the t’s, thank the Lord. We closed on August 24th. What a fantastic experience it was, selling my home on the plantation I’d grown up on for 77 years, through my Realtor and Friend, Bruce West!Robert N. “Buying my home with the help of Lindsay was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and concerns, but she made the entire process feel straightforward, stress-free, and even enjoyable. From our very first meeting,Lindsay was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me find the perfect home. She took the time to really understand what I was looking for and was always available to answer my questions, explain the details, and guide me through every step of the journey. What really stood out was her deep knowledge of the market, strong negotiation skills, and honest advice. I never felt pressured — just supported by someone who truly cared about finding the right fit for me. Thanks to Lindsay I found a home that I absolutely love. I couldn’t be more grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. You’ll be in great hands!” Rivers and Allison R. “We are officially homeowners! This has been the longest four months, but it is so worth it! Bruce West and Charlie Heinsz have been the best help with this and we couldn’t thank them enough! All the prayers have been answered for this home and now it’s moving time!” Hestin and Ashley “When I began searching for my forever home, I chose Anthony to be my realtor for his integrity and dedication. He truly goes above and beyond for every client. It did not matter if he was local or on another continent (literally), he put forth his best effort to answer my questions and get me closer to closing on my property. I ended up swapping mortgage companies one week from my close after receiving the disclosure papers and catching on to the fact that I was being misled. I sent Anthony a copy of the papers and he directed me to a local bank that was able to get me locked in an entire point lower and about 6k less in closing. He truly has went above and beyond when he did not have to and has always been transparent. I recommend Anthony to anyone that is searching for a property. In today’s market, transparency and integrity are a must and that is what you get when you choose Anthony Steen as your realtor.” Shana B. “We chose Tom Smith Land and Homes because we saw how well they marketed other properties. David Belden and Dale Wilds exceeded our expectation at every step of the process. They advised us on each step and were willing to help us achieve the goals to help sale. The marketing and pictures were wonderful and helped sale the property quickly. We would recommend their team to anyone selling property. We were very happy and pleased with David, Dale and Tom Smith Land!” John W.
