Brian's view of real estate is that "I'm here to assist anyone that needs my help and to treat everyone equally. It doesn't matter if it is a million dollar home or a ten thousand-dollar lot. The importance of that purchase to the buyer usually remains constant...no matter how much money is involved."

    I highly recommend this team. Both Brian and Melinda were exceptional in their service and expertise. We were selling a home from out of state and they took care of all the repairs and updates prior to selling. They were also very responsive in communication, often within the same day. From start to finish, updates, listing, negotiations, and finally closing took about 2 months. Probably one of the fastest deals I've been a part of. Absolutely would use them again if I ever find myself back in the Columbia, SC area.

    We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Brian and Melinda. They helped us successfully sell our home while we were stationed overseas. Brian and Melinda took care of every detail for us--both requested and anticipated--always leaving decisions up to us but acting in our best interest when time was of the essence and time zones got in the way. Quick to respond and always providing understanding and detailed information, we were never left in the dark and all our questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. It was a huge stress relief to have realtors we trusted from start to closing. We absolutely recommend The Hunt Team to anyone, and especially for military families out of state or overseas! Thank you, Brian and Melinda!

    The Hunt Team was everything you'd expect from great realtors: professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. My home sold quickly and for more than I was expecting. They went above and beyond and I honestly could not ask for anything more.

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Peggy Metze! As an out-of-state buyer, I was nervous about navigating the home-buying process from afar, but she made everything smooth and stress-free. Her deep knowledge of South Carolina's real estate marketaEUR"especially the local neighborhoods, regulations, and trendsaEUR"was incredibly valuable. If youre looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable agent in South Carolina, I highly recommend Peggy MetzeaEUR"youll be in excellent hands!
