It had been more than 25 years since I purchased my first home and so much has changed. John Rea was by my side every step of the way with the purchase of my second home. John is patient and very supportive. He is truly an expert in the field of Real Estate. He represented me in every way, from our first Zoom meeting, to communications with the loan officer and her team, the builders, inspectors, whether it was to clarify any confusion, asking questions on my behalf, walk-throughs, all the way to closing day. John even kept me informed of upcoming community events in the areas I was considering purchasing a home. Even after closing, John has continued to check-in with me for any possible, unforeseen issues that may have surfaced. I?m very grateful. Mr. Rea was truly God-sent!

John was a great realtor. I moved to MS in March in the middle of COVID. John really took time to show me around the county and found many properties for us. Due to the connections in the market that John has, he found the perfect place for us that met all of our needs. John walked us through the entire process and made this stressful life event easy to manage.

1. John has lived in the area for 30 plus years and is knowledgeable on property values and schools 2. He takes you step by step through selling, buying and closing. He reminds you of what you have to take care of and he handles the rest. 3. John always returned phone and text messages promptly, got answers to all of my many questions and took care of details I was unaware of. 4. John negotiated my selling price up $30K and my buying price down $10K. A lot of back and forth was needed.
