Report
I hired Jeanna Foley of Coldwell Banker Fort Realty to list my house and I have to say it was the worst performance of a realtor I have seen in my 55 years on this earth, and I have bought and sold many houses over the years. She has a horrible work ethic and low integrity. To start off at the beginning, she initially gave me a market analysis that was over priced by $100,000 on a $375,000 house.
I agreed to list it at the lower end of the range she suggested thinking maybe she knew something I didnt, but we had next to no activity on the house in the first month. Jeanna blamed it on the coronavirus

Best real estate agent in the land. Listed our house one day and 3 days later, under contract. She kept me informed very well throughout the process, and for my situation, that couldn't have been easy. Thank you Sherry for your hard work through what was a difficult time for my family. God Bless

We have always used Georgeanna White for all our Real Estate needs at Coldwell. She is smart, efficient and writes a great contract. We have used her for both buy and sell. She has so much knowledge about the lake and surrounding area. She even helped with a transaction in Columbia SC. Give her a call ! Here is my lake view from my home...on Hartwell
