Use a Realtor like me who is full-time. I know the Savannah, Georgia real estate market inside and out. Let me help negotiate the best deal for you.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
I am full-time real estate agent who works from an office building.....NOT FROM HOME. My office is centrally located in Savannah, Georgia where we get daily walk-in and call-in traffic. When it is time to sell your home, you need a real estate agent who is out there pushing your property to get it sold and gets buyer traffic at the office.

Amazing experience with an amazing realtor!!! We found Tripp based on reviews online as I wasnt physically in Savannah to meet realtors in person. We were in a position where our home was on the market for 6 months without any offers with a different agent and I knew we needed to make a change. From the moment we meet Tripp over the phone, we knew we would be in great hands. He was so confident in a comforting way that we felt at ease listing our home with him. He immediately had his amazing photographer take new photos of our home for a refresh and it listed within 48 hours. We immediately gained traction and numerous showings of serious buyers. We made some pricing adjustments and after two months, we accepted an offer on our home. Throughout the process, Tripp was communicative and guided us in decision making processes. He works with a team of people that were also committed to getting our home shown to their clients as well. He was also able to provide us with numerous references for electrical, masonry, handyman work etc. and all of his people did an amazing job. Not only because they pride themselves on their work, but because they have worked with Tripp in the past. We just closed on our home yesterday and everything went off without a hitch. We cant thank Tripp enough for his dedication to getting our home sold and we would recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding realtor in the Savannah area!!!

Tripp's the man! . I've purchased two homes and sold one with Tripp. He's a rock star of an agent that's easy to work with and listens to what you say. This last go round we looked at, at least, two dozen homes. During the buying process, he never pushed his agenda, only what we asked. He gave great advice as well!

Tripp was very knowledgeable and provided excellent communication throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Tripp and his team to anyone buying or selling. They provided us with support and guided us through the entire process. Tripp was always available and ensured all questions were answered. I have never had a better home buying experience from offer, to inspection, to mortgage, and closing.

Tripp is very knowledgeable in the Savannah market and RealEstate in general. He asks a lot of questions to understand the buyers or sellers wants and needs so he can set the listing just right or locate properties for buyers to match needs. Overall very responsive to what you need.
