Buyer's Agent,Listing Agent,Foreclosure,Short-Sale How lucky can I be? First, I get to spend nearly 20 years pursuing my passion as a sportswriter. Now I get to help people realize their dream of owning a home. And all the while living in my hometown. This journey began in 2002 and l'm still with the same company -- Coldwell Banker Kennon, Parker, Duncan & Davis Realty. A few years into my real estate career, I was offered a chance to write a weekly sports column. That took me to more fun places, including 3 college football national championship games, But make no mistake, real estate is my top priority. Every day, I wake up with the same enthusiasm for helping people find or sell homes. I'm committed to excellence, which is why I completed the Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI) course and earned my Associate Broker license. I've added short sale expertise as an additional way of helping people. Licensed in Georgia and Alabama, I'm ready to go to work for you.

FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Preapproval benefits YOU as much as or even more than it benefits agents and sellers. You get the jump on non-approved buyers. You find out early if you need to clear up something, whether it's an old debt or even a mistake. Make sure your agent (hopefully me) truly understands the process and the costs.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Let a professional objectively determine the correct asking price. Do all of the little things that you can -- replacing AC filters and cleaning vents, replacing the cracked doorbell, etc. -- so that buyers don't walk away. Declutter as much as possible. Make sure the pictures are clear, bright and inviting.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
My slogan is Your Realtor For Life because life brings so many changes. Helping buyers and sellers through exciting times is joyful, while helping others through challenging times is rewarding. If you have a small business and have a basic commercial need, I can help you with that. If you are better off working with a commercial specialist, I will help align you with one.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I received a call from a woman who had been referred to me. The value of her house had plummeted due to a major flooding problem. She felt -- and sounded -- hopeless. This short sale was especially complicated. But I assured her that we'd get it done. And we did! She was so relieved to have this burden off her back.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
My experience selling my first home showed me the value of a Realtor. I tried to sell it myself but could not because I could not get the exposure that Realtors did. I had always had an interest in real estate, and I started researching it more. The nights and weekends didn't bother me because I had been a sports writer for 20 years and worked almost every weekend and many holidays. Believe it or not, there are better ways to spend Christmas Day than covering an NBA game.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
While I've done just about everything in residential real estate, one specialty that I've developed is short sales. Even many experienced agents do not know how to navigate a short sale. I have closed more than 70 short sales.

Guerry was very helpful with the sale of my mom's house after her passing. He helped me figure out what needed to be done to prepare it for sale and compared local comps to arrive at a good asking price. Not being local I needed someone who could suggest contractors for painting and other repairs and Guerry was quick to suggest several reliable people to call for estimates. It was under contract VERY quickly and Guerry helped me navigate the inspection process. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in Columbus, GA!

We lucked into Guerry during our first purchase of a "short sale" 12 years ago, his patience over the 6 month process saved us 5k at closing and kept us motivated toward the end. Our only choice last year during our "let's get on the backwaters" search... again, patient-sound advice during a lengthy negotiation! Another Guerry memory, almost makes the stressful process enjoyable!

Guerry Clegg is the one recommended to me when I moved to Columbus and he's been great for almost 10 years since I've known him. He's very knowledgeable and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.

Guerry was extremely helpful in the hunt for our home and was with us throughout the complete process of the purchase. I recommend Guerry hands down, very professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Guerry is currently listing a home for by brother-in-law.
