We recently purchased a building for our business with Darci Blackney as our agent. The building was perfect for our needs, so we wanted to make sure we didn't lose the sale. Darci was quick to talk us through the process and was able to get the ball rolling quickly. She never skipped a beat, and was right on any emails and phone calls we had, even on the weekend. 5 stars! Get her on your team for selling and buying!

Hello everyone, I had the privilege of having Darci Blackney for my realtor during the recent purchase of my home. You could not ask for a more professional and competent person to handle your transactions concerning the purchase of your home. She was always completely informed about every aspect of the purchase process. If you are considering searching for or purchasing a home I would recommend Darci to you with complete confidence that your experience will be and easy and happy one. Thanks Again Darci

Traci Snyders was the absolute best in both helping us find our home and selling our house. She genuinely cared about what we were looking for and really listened to our wants and needs. Traci was always available when we needed her and answered all our questions. Her advice was excellent and I would use her again in a heartbeat. She made the process of buying and selling a breeze. Traci is extremely knowledgable of the area and her negotiation skills are fantastic. I really cannot say enough good things about her and our experience.

Emily G helped out very much and made our first home buying fairly easy. She was really great and helped us walked through just about everything. Our Seller left a bunch of stuff still in the house and Emily and Shirley's got people there are got everything out we didn't want instead of making the deal fall through all together.

I cannot say enough good about Shirley's Realty. We moved from another town to Maryville and it was quite an undertaking. Julie went above and beyond as a realtor helping us in ways that were not in her job description. She also answered our calls immediately, helped with contractors, and helped with all the little things that come up when buying a home. She was always professional and kind. I not only consider her a good realtor, but a good friend. She and Shirley's Realty are the best!!!!
