Looking for a real estate agent in Columbia TN? Cara Smith is the one!! After being listed with another company for 6 months with limited showings, we relisted with Cara and she went to WORK! There was no detail too big or too small for her to prep our home for relisting. The results were us going under contract in less than a week on market and then closing a week and a half later. We were not local anymore to the home we sold and she was boots on the ground with anything we needed during that time. She made a stressful situation incredibly easy and successful. Would recommend her 100x over!

Cara was amazing when we were buying our home. She is reliable, quick to respond, hard working, honest, and very easy going. She instantly felt like an old friend looking out for us when navigating the entire process, which really put our minds at ease. Highly recommend!

Cara did a great job selling our house. We are so happy we chose Cara as our realtor to sell our house in Columbia, TN. We received an offer for the full asking price on the first day our home went on the market! We think this was mainly because Cara knew the local market, and how she helped us prepare our house to be shown. The pictures she put with the listing were outstanding. I also appreciated how Cara kept us up to date throughout the whole process. In my opinion Cara is the best!

Cara is the best realtor in the world!!! My mom found her on the internet and said how great and honest Cara sounded over the phone and that my husband and I should give her a call. We were set on finding a home in Columbia and we could tell from that first phone call that Cara knew her stuff about the area and different neighborhoods. She grew up in the area which was a huge comfort for us! Cara was so easy and fun to work with. She was efficient when showing us homes and we truly knew that she had our best interests in mind. She helped us craft the perfect offer on a multiple-offer home that we truly thought we wouldnt get, but we did thanks to her!! She is hilarious, kind, respectful, thoughtful, generous with her time, and so much more. My husband and I feel so blessed we had her as our realtor and we will definitely always use her and refer her to friends/family.

As a first time homebuyer, I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Cara! She was an absolute delight to work with and was patient in helping every step of the way. She truly went above and beyond to make the process as seamless as possible and her efficiency and follow through are top notch! She is incredibly knowledgeable and I trust her. I highly recommend Cara to anyone looking for a kind, honest, and educated realtor!
