Report
My wife and I were very pleased with our experience with Howard and Tammy. They were an absolute delight to work with. They provided us repair guidance for several months prior to selling the house to ensure we got the most out of the house. Once we listed, we had an offer in less than 48 hours. Less than a month later, we closed without a problem. Id recommend the Sentells to anyone looking to list a home.

Report
Trying to buy our first home through Sentell real estate was an absolute nightmare. He handles his business very unprofessionally, he is unresponsive, discourteous, and was disrespectful to our realtor. He does not reflect his mission statement, period. We have been very displeased. We will never buy another home through this business again and will sway everyone in the home buying business to look in a different direction, also. I left the same review on Facebook as well and Mr. Howard Sentell sent me a threatening message on Facebook. Incredibly distasteful and unprofessional.
