ZillowVERIFIEDAbove and Beyond!! I am honestly not someone who posts on social media, BUT....... I simply had to sit down and write a review for Phyllis Johnson of Re/Max. My husband and I were looking to buy lakefront property for about a year, and since we live 4 hours from the lake, it was not an easy task. During that time we had the opportunity to work with two or three other real estate agents. To be honest, we almost gave up on our dream because living 4 hours away made everything seem so confusing and convoluted. Other real estate agents were not listening to what we wanted and were more focused on the quick sale in the competitive market. We did not know where to start with permits and finding builders. We certainly did not want to buy a property, just to find out we could not have a dock or the house we wanted because of permit approval. It just seemed to hard to manage from so far away. Then we met Phyllis! Phyllis was NOT like that at all! Phyllis Johnson was a true Godsend. She is honest, ethical, professional, knowledgeable, patient, extremely accessible, has tons of connections, is funny, kind and also extremely pleasant to work with. Working with Phyllis, in the short span of 8 months, we managed to buy a lot; rescind that contract because the contingency clause for the septic system we wanted was not met; purchased a much more beautiful property; got a permit for a 6 bedroom septic system; got a dock permit; got a dredging permit; got a permit for Rip Rap; and had the two lots we purchased be combined into one large lot. Oh, and found a builder! We did all of that quickly and without confusion. If you know anything about SML and the permit process, you know that is nothing short of miraculous! Phyllis was happy to answer the questions we had about moving forward with our project, even a good 6 plus weeks after our closing! It was truly our pleasure to work with Phyllis. Not only did we find an excellent real-estate agent, but we made a friend as well. My husband and I are so excited about our future at SML. Phyllis truly helped make our dream of building a home on SML come true!!
