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. “Colby, I cannot find the words to express how you've changed my life and brought back the promise that there are still "awesome" people in this world! Your dedication, commitment, compassion to people and your desire in paying attention to helping them find and get the exact property for them to make a HOME is extremely extraordinary! Even through the difficult times we experienced in my situation your drive, commitment and diligence made it all worthwhile, you NEVER gave up and handled it with professionalism that is rarely found in this day and time especially in young adults as yourself. I pray Tom Smith Realty KNOWS what they have invested in you because you are the type of person people need and want to work with in such a large life decision. I can never thank you enough and hope you realize what an awesome individual you truly are.” Teresa S.

Tom, I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much I appreciate you and your staff helping and guiding me to the purchase of my place. It was amazing the way I was treated from the first inquiry of the property, you and your staff went over and beyond anything I have experienced in the past from purchasing the past 7 homes I have owned. If I had a question or concern y'all were always right on top of it and got back with me within hours and not days. During the offering you were very prompt and very honest with the process. I was very impressed with your group and will recommend you and your team to any one I have contact with. Very proficient and very timely really impressed me. Again, thank you, Tom and your team, for treating me like your family and taking care of my purchase.

David Belden did a great job showing my husband and me homes that met both of our wish lists. He was available for showings when we were available, and quickly was able to get us viewings at homes we wanted to see from browsing on our own. He was determined to help us get in to a great home for our family. I was also so happy to have David on my side of negotiations; he was truly there for us and honest throughout the process. I definitely recommend David!” K. Simmons “My husband and I are first time homebuyers and had the most wonderful experience with Emerson. We didn't know much going into the process and we were extremely nervous and fearful that we may get taken advantage of. Emerson was so kind, integral, honest and helpful. He was always there for us. He instantly made us feel comfortable and I could always tell he wanted what was BEST for us. He listened so well and anytime I called, he answered or called back immediately. There were so many little moments in the process that reassured me that God sent Emerson to us. My husband and I were very fortunate to have Emerson. He really is a virtuous person with a beautiful soul. The experience was truly a great one. I've already been telling a few friends that are looking to buy homes about him. I feel like everyone around me should buy a house with Emerson as their realtor. You just don't meet integral, loving people, like him everyday. Especially when you're making the biggest purchase of your life. I could go on and on but I think I made my point, Emerson is an AMAZING realtor!” Ashely and Jonathan B.
