They provided great feedback, helped explain clearly all details and managed the actual sale negotiation brilliantly. As I move forward to now BUY my next house, I am extremely certain Pilot Realty will be the right partner to help me navigate this process.
by Heidi FisherJordan was a joy to work with! The breath of his local knowledge and its environs along with a thorough real estate expertise was invaluable to us. He also understood and worked with our time frame, responding quickly to all queries. Our experience was great from start to finish,
by JanithaI had an AMAZING experience thanks to Levi Nickens. He made selling my home beyond easy and fast. His marketing skills and professionalism is top of the line. I wish I was buying more property here in Virginia but even with moving to Texas he helped me find a realtor who made it very easy for me while living in Virginia still. I can’t say it enough how amazing he is and the job he did. He really listened to all the things i wanted and didn’t want and managed to make people visiting as safe as possible with Covid. I really appreciate everything he did and i will never forget it. If you’re in the market or selling please make your life easier and use Levi!
by Jessica WillisWhen you choose Pilot Realty ask for Tyler. It will be the best decision you make. Tyler made sure our home purchasing experience was as strwss free as possible. Even in a demanding home buying time, Tyler was always available and working for us. He listened to exactly what we wanted in a house and worked for us. Every and I mean everyday he was in contact with us ,calling realtors to get showings, creating an itinerary that would maximize our time. He lends his expertise while allowing you to make the final decision. Tyler takes pride in what he does and will treat all transactions as if he is the person buying the home. He left no stone unturned and even after purchasing and moving in Tyler still ensures everything is going great. We could sense he truly cared that we got a home that we would be happy with not just something that was available. By far my best experience with a realtor.
by John WhiteJamal Hudson exceeded our expectations in SO many ways ! he drove well over an hour each time he met with us to look at a house. The day we finally found the house we wanted we drove another hour from where we already were that day last minute to look at the property. Jamal made everything easy and smooth for us and answered any questions we had. I am so thankful to have had Jamal as our realtor and would 100% use him again in the future if needed.
by Amber HosierWhen I tell you that Yvonne is the best of the best when it comes to finding you a home and ensuring God is first in all she does is just a part of how AWESOME she is as a person. God always sends the right one to help you and He did just that. While I was stressing about ensuring me, my kids, and fur baby found the right home she was working diligently on her end with an awesome team to help us find the right home. Her precision to ensure that everything was taken care of was right on time especially dealing with a military move from Japan, ensuring the kids were settled in a new state, and finding a home was stressful to say the less. But rest assured this was the most stress-free homebuying experience I have ever encountered. If you are looking for a top-notch realtor and real state company they are the ones to call. Yvonne thanks for all you have done for me and my family.
by Clara ParkerAckena was very helpful. He became a brother and friend after this. Never seen a realtor that would help tow my truck for free just to move my things. He realized I was pregnant and was very helpful. He is decent and respectful and made my first home purchase easy.
by Fatimat HamzatI recently bought a house using Pilot Realty and I was very impressed. I was moving from overseas which makes things even more complicated. I was never in the dark they explained everything to me and walked me through every step. I was afraid at first because this was my first house but they made the entire process smooth. Professional in every aspect, Pilot Realty has earned my business forever!
by Levi DennySpecial shout out to Dycallon "DC" and Levi!!! These gentlemen went above and beyond. We decided to sell our rental property and from start to finish they took care of EVERYTHING.
