From the very beginning when I first messaged JT, he was amazing. He came over and toured my house & explained everything. There was no such thing as too many or dumb questions. Once the house was on the market, he negotiated to get me the best deal, to have everything finalized in 3 weeks! JT has such a calming spirit . He is patient, kind & SUPER knowledgeable. He truly cares about his clients!!
JT was amazing to work with. He walked me through every single step and held my hand many times through the process. He is very responsive to phone calls, emails and texts. I can't say enough good things to say about him. He took away all my fear. It was a pleasure working with him.
JT did an outstanding job helping us buy our home. He was responsive to our emails, texts, calls and homes we wanted to see. He was professional and friendly. He was knowledgeable about the market and knows his craft; which was instrumental. Also, he went above and beyond and made a call to make sure closing happened on 6/18 when the closing date/time was about to change. Lastly, he was involved in the closing process and to our surprise; he blessed us with a buyer's appreciation gift that left a lasting impression. Without a doubt, he'll stay in our phone contact as our realtor and we'll be referring him to others!!
JT is awesome very knowledgeable and held my hand through the process without being condescending. Went above and beyond to make sure I got a good deal and was attentive to what I was looking for. Highly recommended!!!!

He is truly a professional and we will continue to do business with him in our future investment opportunities and I think you should as well. If you looking for best then look no further.

JT did an outstanding job selling our house a couple years back. He is precessional, excellent communication skills and very knowledgeable. Easy to work with and a pleasant personality. We called him again this year to sell an investment house of ours and hopefully he will help us find a perfect home for us to live in. I know and trust we are in good hands with JT. Diane Faella
JT is always there even after a purchase a home through him five years ago. If I have questions about anything real estate to handyman, he points you in the right directions.
JT did an excellent job assisting us with selling our home. He was knowledgeable, delivered on his word to help us sell for our preferred price range, and helped us sell within a relatively short period of time. He was very communicative throughout the process and helped to ease our "sell anxiety." We highly recommend him!
Without exception JT knows the Chapin/Ballentine/White Rock /Irmo area better than anyone. Ive been in real estate asset management for 25+ years and bought and sold numerous homes and he is By FAR the best professional agent Ive ever dealt with! Run, do not walk to engage JT. Youll thank me!! Hes a superstar. If I could give him 10 stars I would!!
JT did a great job! First time going through this process but he made us feel comfortable with all the questions we had. He gave us good recommendations. He really put the fear and anxiousness we had behind us and got us across the finish line.
Jt goes above and beyond to make sure that everything is in order and you are as happy as you can possibly be. Living out of SC we thought this process was going to be difficult, but Jt has made is as easy as if we were in SC the whole time.
Amazing from the beginning to the end. We had a death in the family and had to do a long distance sale. She was AMAZING!!! Got us the most money we were able to get, down to earth, and made the whole process as seamless as possible so all we had to do was spend time with family during a difficult time. I dont usually recommend many people but she is a MUST for real estate. Ive sold in CA, AK, and NC and she made GA the easiest sale ever.
This is my second go-round with JT. My husband and I trusted him with the purchase of our home 12-13 years ago, and I'm now trusting him with my new transition. It's a dog and catfight world out there and Jt is constantly reassuring me I will find my perfect home. His team has been great in assisting me through the entire process of selling my home, and I know they will exceed in helping me find my next home! The experience has been great, but challenging. I appreciate and thank JT and his team for their excellent work and will highly recommend their services to others.
This whole process was very difficult; although Livingston was very sharp and very knowledgeable. He very hard for us throughout the process. Thing didnt work out the way we wanted but I was extremely impressed with his timeliness and work ethic
JY Livingston was a prime example of professionalism. He was patient, honest, as well as knowledgeable of my family's sale transaction. Above all, he offered sound advice of my sale. I would anxiously recommend JT to other family and friends. This was a pleasant experience on all levels.Thank you JT!!
JT was knowledgeable and made this process of selling our home much less stressful. He was easy to reach and quick to respond. Very professional and great at giving other options to consider.
Great person, reliable and honest, extensive experience in real estate, committed to his clients and responsively. I am very enjoying work with him.JT. Help me to find good deals and connect me with great people i am working with.*** The review is being sent outside of US as i am a foreign investor living at Israel and investing in US real estate market. ***
JT has been great to work with. He was very patient with us, and offered advice in regards to preparation of selling or home. For example JT told us what upgrade to make. Pointed out repairs that needed to be made.
JT is very flexible and available for appointments and scheduling. With me living out of state, he always keeps me informed of new things on the market and is always available when I am, to view houses in the area. He's very easy to get along with and he loves my dog too!
He was very cooperative and responsive on the homes he and I viewed. I enjoy working with him in my journey in finding my new home. I am encourage that he will make this a success along the way and make this a dream come true for my family and I.
If you're not going to use JT, you are wasting your time. I have trusted him personally 3 time as my agent and will be using him again soon. I have recommended him to everyone I talk to and the ones that have trusted JT, echo the same. You will not be disappointed with final results and he will do everything he can to make things go smooth as silk.
Helping us sell and purchase a home he is very personable and gets detailed about the properties and will give good advice on all that you need and will search for the right place. He has taken time assessing the property we have for sale and has the best price for the best outcome as well.
JT Livingston responded to us immediately every time we contacted from before we listed and every time thereafter! We was a complete gentleman and extremely respectful to us always! I would recommend him and his team to anyone interested in selling a property.
I have been working with JT for a few years. He is the BEST in the business. Highly recommend. He is very knowledgeable of the Real Estate market in Columbia and the surrounding areas. Efficient and hard working!
Using this agent was one of the worst decisions I could have made. He is slow to respond and provided me incorrect information countless times. He refuses to call you for any reason. He will only aEURoetalk to textaEUR?, giving you with a gobbled message that leaves you confused. He had me verbally agree to two different offers that once I received the offer in writing, he had left off major high dollar demands. He misses appointments and has only small windows of time he is available to meet you. In this crazy market I would text him to see a home and the response would be aEURoeI cant today I'm out of townaEUR?. After about the fourth weekend of this I asked if he could at least get someone from his office to show me a house when he was unavailable. I HAD TO ASK HIM THIS!! Again, no matter what else you read online, this guy will not represent you the way you deserve. My only regret is my house sold under him, because he didnt do anything, and now I have to pay him a commission. I fired him as my buyers agent to which he wouldnt communicate with me at all about my house for sell. I closed on my house and never had another conversation with him. Only 3 short emails. At the closing table, I was given another demand, he gave me NO assistance in clearing up the issue. He told me to let him know when it was taken care of so he could inform the buyer. Dont believe the positive reviews. I was asked to remove common words from my description because they could be aEURoeoffensiveaEUR? yet verbs that are positive are ok.
Repeat Client! Myself and my wife were very pleased when JT sold our home and now we are so overwhelmed by Joy with JT as our buyers agent on our new construction home. Thank you for everything JT!
JT was fantastic! Selling a home is such a stressful (and exciting) time and he did an excellent job keeping me informed & educated during the whole process. I had the utmost trust in his guidance and communication was so easy every step of the way.
JT helped me find and close my first investment property. While I felt confident I had everything lined up to get the deal done, several things did not go as planned. JT, however, ensured the right people were in place to complete the deal including: getting home inspection done on time, ensuring repairs were completed, following up with lenders, and even guiding me to reputable companies to manage and insure the property leading up to the morning of closing. I look forward to doing my next deal with JT!
I have used JT 3 times for buying and selling homes in Columbia over the past 10 years. He has always been professional, courteous and timely with every transaction. He is extremely patient and will work diligently for his clients. I have never had to worry whether or not he was aEURoejust trying to make a saleaEUR? because he has saved me from making impulsive decisions that could have made him more money, but was not a smart home-buying decision on my part. He is the best agent in the area and does care about his clients, and the community. I highly recommend him for all first time homebuyers, as well as listing agent. My house sold in less than a week of being on the market in 2019.
Very thorough and helpful before, during, and after the entire process was complete. JT knows the area and even answered some questions for a purchase we were making out of the area. HIGHLY recommend JT!!

JT did an amazing job with helping my Husband and I purchase our first home. He was very attentive before, during and continues to be after closing. JT was with us every step of the way, answering every question promptly and patiently. Being a first time home buyer can be very stressful. JT was very reassuring and knowledgeable, preparing us with what to expect in every step of our home buying process.
JT help my wife and I tremendously in finding the right home for us. We were living in Knoxville, TN and wanted to move to the Columbia, SC area. JT worked with us diligently with emails, texts, and in person showing us properties we might be interested to see. After 4 months of us being very picky in the process JT found us the home we wanted. If you truly want a professional realtor who cares about your satisfaction choose JT Livingston! He did an outstanding job for us !
Mr JT Livingston is a true Professional at all times. He is the best agent I've worked with. If anyone is willing to provide the best service as a agent Mr JT is with out a doubt the pro . I'm looking forward to working with him for a very long time.
Ok so where do I start, this has been a 2 year process for me and my family. We relocated from a different state. I'm not sure how me and JT originally met but he has made this experience a pleasure for me. From start to finish, he was flexible with his schedule to meet with me after work, because I had just started a new job here in South Carolina. He walked me thru every step, advised me on what to do and say in certain situations. He also saved me money in certain situations. Some things were out of his control, but he did his best to make sure I was always satisfied. I was 100% recommend him and his staff to anyone looking to buy or sell. In the future I will definitely use his services again. It's nice to know that there are people out there in 2020 that are still honest and not just trying to line their pockets.Best Wished to the office of JT Livingston there the best.Winifred & William Turner new SC home owners

JT is a professional that knows how to walk you through this process. He was knowledgeable about our home and how to make improvements to quickly sell our home. He kept us informed and made the process easy for us.
Alway professional punctual and very knowledgeable about your home and areas. I would recommend JT to anyone how was looking to by a home in an area they were unfamiliar with or a particular a type of home try maybe looking.
My experience with JT Livingston has been a complete success! He is very Professional, Polite, Understanding, and Dependable! I trusted JT during the process of purchasing my first home. He always informed me of everything in a timely manner. Thanks again JT!!
This is the third time we have worked with JT, and we highly recommend him to ANYONE buying or selling in the Columbia area. He is absolutely amazing!JT is a master negotiator, and helped us get our house for over 15% off the initial asking price. This wasn't a one-time deal, either--he did this for us last time, too. We also had some sticky issues come up with the seller not vacating the house by the date we agreed, and JT smoothed all of this out for us. This man is a negotiating genius!JT also has an extensive network of contacts in the Columbia area--so if you need roof work, HVAC, a new garage door, anything--he can ballpark a fair price and give you a shortlist of reputable companies who do good work. This time we had to remove a massive freestanding bar left by the seller, and JT connected us with a local business owner who wanted it. It took six people to lift, but they hauled it away for free!Basically, JT will solve all of your problems. On top of all that, he is a genuinely nice guy and a pleasure to be around. If you need a realtor, this is definitely the guy to call.
Mr. Livingston was very expedient and efficient in the process of selling my home. He was able to ensure I walked away with funds as well! I recommend him if you are purchasing or selling your home.
We reached out to JT Livingston as the realtor of a house we were interested in. He was so helpful and provided very detailed information on how we should start our buying process. He was extremely patient as we narrowed down what we wanted in a house and even stuck by us when we had to hit pause on the process for a year. What has impressed us the most is his attention to detail! JT took the stress off of us during the negotiations and his team handled setting up all the inspections. He kept us calm when we were impatient and encouraged us along the way. By the time we got to closing day, JT felt like family. We believe you will not find a more trusted, competent real estate agent out there!
