Report
Highly recommended. I worked with Trent to sell my high rise condo in Midtown. I had moved out of state and he was extremely helpful with trying to find contractors to complete some upgrades on the condo and helping with other items that I could not address from out of state. He was responsive to all emails, texts, and calls. It was my first time selling a home but he was fantastic and professional throughout the entire process and answered all my questions.

We want to thank Trent and Ivan from CityMax Realty for all of the help provided during our home search. At first we were all over the place, but Trent and Ivan helped us narrow down the areas/home types, and more importantly listened to our concerns. The easiness of working with them, made the whole experience fun! We were terrified at first since we are first home buyers, but they guided us every step of the way. We have to say that if it wasn't for them we wouldn't be in our current home. They recommended the listing and once we saw it, we knew it was the one. They negotiated quickly (Hot

Report
Trent did a fantastic job selling my condo. Trent found an interested buyer quickly because of his knowledge of the market and availability to buyers looking at the building, Metropolis. We had a binding agreement with ZERO DAYS on the open market-- the listing went straight to "pending" when it went live. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. The buyer's lender balked on the eve of closing, outright refused to lend under a rubbish pretext. The deal nearly cratered. But Trent saved it. He helped the buyer find a new lender, and the new lender closed really quickly. Now the buyer is a happy homeowner

Report
I very highly recommend Trent to anyone looking to sell their Atlanta homes. From day one, Trent was approachable, honest, and demonstrated a deep understanding of the Midtown high-rise condo market. With Trent's guidance, I sold my condo for almost $15k more than I had expected. I had relocated to NY during the listing and selling process and Trent went above and beyond to help run household errands and manage logistics of cleaning and staging the unit in my absence. He even helped move out the remaining furniture that I had left behind to ensure an on-time closing. Thank you, Trent!
