ZillowVERIFIEDTisha Cepuran is truly the best to work with! Shes very responsive and has answered any and all questions we have had along the way. Multiple people in our family have used Tisha over the last couple of years and she has exceeded all expectations. I could not recommend her more!!

ZillowVERIFIEDLets be honest. A lot of people aEURoecouldaEUR? sell your house. Your broke brother-in-law who hasnt sold a house in your price range in - well, forever - aEURoemightaEUR? be able to sell your house aEUR| a year from now. Your next-door neighbor who just got her license aEURoemayaEUR? luck up and stumble upon a buyer aEUR| to present a low-ball offer. And theres even a chance your childs teacher who dabbles in real estate on the weekends aEURoecouldaEUR? find you a buyer aEUR| but might not know the first thing about systems, true comps, or creative negotiations - resulting in epic frustration on your part. Better to hire an experienced, high octane realtor with 100+ sales a year, right? That way, theres a high probability theyll be able to sell your house. Jonathan Vining is ALL of these qualities personified. Hes analytical and has systems in place to ensure that everything is done in order and in a timely manner. The way it should be done. Promises are kept. Updates are provided. Everything is streamlined. Youre prepped and prepared ahead of time. Consistent communication is adhered to. You dont feel lost in the process. Deadlines arent missed. Reminders arent needed. Frustrations dont arise. Miscommunication doesnt happen. Nothing falls through the cracks because of lack of follow-through. Substandard performance, shoddy work ethics, and inferior marketing materials dont exist. Hiring a realtor with proven CEO business skills and an excellence-driven mindset sets you up for success and gives you the best chance to sell your house quickly, for the best possible price, AND have an enjoyable experience in the process. Trust me - you simply cant put a price on peace of mind during a major move. Dont settle for a good realtor or even a great one. Hire the best - hire Jonathan Vining and you wont regret it. After meeting with him, we realized that he and his team would bring immense experience to the table. We hired The Vining Group - Keller Williams Lake Oconee and they went to work immediately. We were under contract very quickly in a difficult market. Every other realtor could learn a thing or two (or 1,000) from him! Hire him already!

ZillowVERIFIEDI would like to brag on Blaine Farmer & The Vining Group. They went so far above and beyond with us and really treated us like family. They were a joy to work with, was incredibly responsive, and supremely patient when things didnt work out with some of the homes we were excited about. Blaine was like the lake welcoming party and really spent a lot of time giving us the lay of the land and lake. He was invaluable to us in deciding on which lake and which property to make our retirement landing spot. We cannot express our gratitude enough.

ZillowVERIFIEDI had a great experience with The Vining Group's professionalism, attention to detail and deep local knowledge. They provided the guidance needed to prepare the property for listing. They were timely all communications. I know that if I am back to the area in the future that I won't hesitate to call on them to find exactly what I need.

We scheduled an interview with Jonathan. My wife and I had already discussed a listing price, and after speaking with Jonathan he came back with a higher listing price than we had envisioned. Jonathan was able to create a book with pictures of our home and facts. It took no time after we went live, we were receiving offers on the home and accepted an offer and sold our home very quickly.

The home brochure that was created by the Vining Group was awesome and very unique for buyers. This team went above and beyond for us. Thank you very much for your expertise, along with selling our home!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe purchased our lot through Jonathan some years ago after working with him several months to find what we wanted. When I decided to sell it he was my choice again and the experience could not have gone smoother.

ZillowVERIFIEDSelling my lake property was a quick process with Jonathan Vining. His knowledge of the Lake Oconee area helped with correct pricing, which led to a quick sale. Jonathan and his associate Rachel were quick to respond to questions. Closing was smooth and easy - exactly what I'd hoped real estate professionals would help me accomplish. I would highly recommend the Vining Group when buying or selling Lake Oconee real estate

ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home or lot. He worked closely with me to sell my lot on Lake Oconee. He went above and beyond and was always available to answer my questions. He never hesitated to take the extra steps or do the necessary research.

ZillowVERIFIEDI wholeheartedly recommend The Vining Group for any real estate needs. Just a little background. . .we sold our home after being on the market for only five days with a 10-day window to close. You can just image the amount of work that was needed to accomplish this move. Johnathan, along with Kris (who is a miracle worker by the way), jumped in and was able to make this happen - pure magic. From the preparation required to list a home, to the repairs needed after inspection, to answering all our questions, Jonathan was with us the whole way!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently bought a lake lot on a Lake Oconee and worked with Carol Heppner with The Vining Group. Carol was FANTASTIC and expertly guided us through the process from beginning to end. Carol arranged everything for us from the survey and soil test to the GA Power and builder consults. She made the entire process very easy and stress-free, and she communicated everything we needed to know along the way. We highly recommend Carol and The Vining Group and were so thankful!

ZillowVERIFIEDAdam Caldwell of the Vining Group did a fantastic job helping us sell our lake house. He was incredibly responsive to any questions or ideas we had, and was always communicating with us about options, status, and issues. He quickly earned my trust with his open and straightforward approach, and I felt he was a true partner helping us make the very best decisions. I wholeheartedly recommend him for anyone looking to buy/sell a home!

ZillowVERIFIEDWords cannot fully convey the appreciation I have for Alyce Vining who spearheaded the recent sale of my lakefront home. From our first encounter, she was no pressure, but very knowledgeable about the selling process, lake properties, and the market outlook. Her conversations/ texts with me throughout the process were always optimistic which made me feel any obstacle could be overcome. On numerous occasions, she went the extra mile. I have utilized realtors to buy and sell dozens of parcels of property, but she exponentially surpasses all of them with her professionalism and sincerity for the client's best interests. She is the real deal, and I wholeheartedly recommend Alyce for your buying and selling endeavors!

ZillowVERIFIEDJonathan is great to work with. Very knowledgeable about the area, extremely timely and always seems to be looking out for the best interests of his clients. We were looking to purchase a home but had a particular budget and needs in a house which narrowed the choices. He was patient with us even showing 15 houses in just a few days. I'm happy to say we found our dream home and look forward to raising our family there. Thanks Jonathan!

ZillowVERIFIEDAlyce helped us to sell our lake home in just 3 days. She's an appraiser, and she valued our home in a range that was the "right" price to sell quickly. We feel as though it was a win/win for us as Seller (as well as the buyer). We would recommend the Vining Group on Lake Oconee.

ZillowVERIFIEDJonathan and his team deserve 5 stars across the board. Jonathan's knowledge and of the local market would be hard to beat. The team's professionalism from start to finish is impressive. They follow up, update you, and stay in consistent contact during the entire process of listing to sale. They become your advocate in every way. They can assess changes in the market place to adjust, and make common sense recommendations. Most important they know what it takes to get a deal done. Jonathan, very happy with your creativity and service. Rest assured if we need another real estate transaction we will know who to call. Best to you and your team!

ZillowVERIFIEDJonathan and Alyce provided excellent service through extensive marketing tools, professional advice on pricing and an optimistic approach to the sale of our lake house. They provided excellent advice on improvements to make before we listed the house. They had a reliable list of service providers to make the improvements. They were always prompt to return calls and keep us update on any activity. They were able to secure an offer on our house within days and they completed the negotiation with success.

Review for Member: Jonathan Vining
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I presented the Vinings with a very challenging lot to sell. While it was situated on the water, it also had a "shared dock" space and steep slope with potential concern about water run off. It had not concerned us, but potential buyers in today's market felt differently. Jonathan worked with us to set reasonable expectations regarding the timing of moving a lot as well as pricing and deriving reasonable comps in order to achieve our financial objectives.In addition, he was able to present us with an acceptable cash offer and short closing window. Once the offer was accepted, everything went quickly and smoothly. That's my kind of closing!I highly recommend the Vinings and would most definitely use them again.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a difficult sale as Reynolds had changed some membership rules and was directly competing with our resale with their own incentives. Jonathan dealt with these issues in an extremely professional manner. He found unique and creative ways to market the property and negotiated in my favor at all times. I was extremely pleased with the service from Jonathan and his staff.

ZillowVERIFIEDWith acreage slow selling the past years, Jonathan constantly worked closely reading the market and came up with a plan to sell a portion of our acreage for a fair price and keep the acreage that will appreciate the fastest in the future. Jonathan was always available to discuss whatever was concerning me about the market and to evaluate any of my thoughts about selling the property.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom the first time we met Jonathan and Alyce we knew they were the realtors for us. They did a great job selling our golf cottage when the market for cottages was a little down. They are simply the best and wouldn't think of using anyone else when it comes to Lake Oconee real estate.

ZillowVERIFIEDThe Vinings have communicated with us on a regular basis since welisted our property with them. Kept us up to date on what is goingon in the Lake Oconee RE market as well as how it affects our property. When our property sold, Alyce was active in setting upthe closing to benefit our selling and buying of another property,which saved us $. Will use Vining again if in the need.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe listed our townhouse and purchased a building lot with the Vining group and will never use another realtor in this area again.As far as the listing goes,they made a pamphlet with professional taken pictures that displayed the property elegantly, the listing was seen on multiple internet sites and local real estate magazines.We sold in 2 weeks.As far as the property purchase goes there were multiple questions regarding actual boundaries and ownership of parts of this lot.Jonathan"s knowledge with these matters and local connections was the main reason this purchase was possible.I highly recommend them for any real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had our home for sale with another agent for one year and never received an offer and didn't feel like it was getting the exposure it needed. We meet with Jonathan and immediately knew his plan was aggressive and would get us the showings and interest we wanted. Within just four months, it was sold. He kept us in the loop throughout the entire process and was such a pleasure to work with! We highly recommend him!
