    We had a wonderful experience working with Erica! From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand our needsaEUR"especially the importance of space for our growing family and finding the right location. She was patient, never made us feel rushed or pressured, and offered helpful guidance every step of the way. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care made the entire process much less stressful than we expected. Were so grateful for her support in helping us find our home. Highly recommend!

    Erica was absolutely fantastic in my home buying journey. As a first time homebuyer, I needed guidance throughout the entire process and she went above and beyond in providing that. Erica was a wealth of knowledge in home buying in Mount Pleasant AND was always available, reliable, upbeat & had a positive attitude, and excellent communicator & negotiator. Erica exceeded all of my expectations from the beginning through past closing. I highly recommend working with Erica for any and all of your real estate needs!

    John Bell and Erica Zepp are exactly what anyone should be looking for in a realtor! They handled both the sale of my existing home and simultaneous purchase of my new construction home and turned what seemed like a complex/stressful situation into a simple and smooth deal. They referred us to their lender (Ethan Lane) who was also great to work with and ultimately created a team that could get even the most complex real estate transactions closed on time and stress free. I wouldn't hesitate to work with John and Erica again as they are both exactly what a professional real estate agent should be and more. We are so grateful that they made this experience a positive one and got us into our new home!

    I don't want to bury the lead, so here's the most important thing to know from our experience with John as first-time home buyers. I know John represents buyers & sellers of homes that are much more expensive (and will make him a bigger commission) than the one he helped us buy. That said - we felt like his most important client from start to finish, which speaks VOLUMES to his character and how he treats people. John was incredible from the initial conversation we had with him, during the buying process, and even after closing. He and his team helped us understand each step of the buying process, answering every question we had along the way. He's a straight-shooter and will give you honest opinions on any potential issues with a home, which was important to us. He and his team were professional and worked quickly to help us get in the house we wanted. Would recommend John to my closest friends and family.

    Our home search experience with Rich was very pleasant. He is very personable, knowledgeable, and honest. We brought our 4 children along with us during our search, and he was incredibly patient and understanding having young children of his own. He was able to set up appts with short notice and had everything mapped out for us as we considered everywhere from Johns Island to West Ashley and Summerville. I would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends!
