Thanks to Shin Oak Realty we have been enjoying our home for a little over four years now! Shin Oak Realty helped us with the sale of our very first home, and the purchase of our dream home. I want to say Bradley “BJ” O’Dell went above and beyond to make the transition of selling and buying very smooth process. I would highly recommend using Shin Oak for your real estate needs. They know the area well, and a professional family run business.

Wasted 6 months having our property listed with this company, only to have 1 of 2 clients brought out to our place. In the first three months, with no one being brought out to our place, agent calls and asks us if we're ready to lower our price. I asked if he's ready to lower his commission.
Finally, relists the property after three months as also having a house (it does have a double wide), and we get multiple people from real estate agents from other companies coming around because the MLS listing finally shows we have a house AND property, but still none from Shin Oak. All other agents said

I use BJ for all my real estate needs. He knows his stuff, is very professional yet laid back. He just takes care of business. I trust him and he makes my deals go smoothly. I will continue to use and recommend him to others. I'm currently leaving another successful closing with BJ and Shin Oak Realty as I type this review

I find it extremely odd that a person would target someone's employment over a minor issue that has NO relevance to their position in their chosen industry. to whomever made these childish immature comments, go back to the playground.
