Highly recommend Shonna! Educated us about the home buying process and helped us every step of the way. She helped us close on the perfect house right on time!
Ms Bailey was very professional and knowledgeable and walked me through every process. With Ms Bailey buying a new home was a wonderful experience. If you need a strong and dedicated realtor I recommend Ms Shonna Bailey.
As a first time home buyer, Shonna made this experience less stressful. She was always responsive and answered any questions that we had as well as explained everything in great detail. We didn't have to worry about anything because we knew that she kept our best interest in mind, even in a sellers market.
Ms Bailey is the realtor for all. She is very professional and do not let time past. She is very passionate with her work as a realtor. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. She has represented me as the seller on several occasions and was magnificent and handle everything. She is now representing me as a buyer and she is a go getter. Ms Bailey is your realtor
Shonna Bailey did an awesome job with selling my home. She responded very quickly to every email, text and phone call, gave me great advice, and got a solid offer in just a few months. She works VERY hard for her clients and best of all, gets results! You won’t go wrong with Shonna Bailey as your Realtor/Broker!
Great real-estate agent. We went under contract within 2 days of listing my house. All expectations were met. No surprises in the selling process. Shonna made sure, when I had some issues come up that kept me from closing on original closing date, I was able to be there for the rescheduled closing date. Thank you Shonna.
Excellent knowledge of area, especially of school locations which we were particularly concerned about. Helpful in every way including introducing us to neighbors and was always available to us for any questions we wanted to ask.
Shonna is very patient, excellent, and knowledgeable in what she does. My husband I couldn't have found a better person/realtor to work with us especially being across the state. She is very flexible and understanding to what our needs and wants were! We love her and is grateful that she is apart of our lives
Mrs. Bailey sold our home in 2 days. She ready when you are. She's responsive, understanding, and patient. Ms. Bailey is also excellent with children.
