Testimonials

Purchasing our dream home in Buckhead would not have been possible without Jean Bird. Jean's familiarity with the neighborhoods we wanted and knowledge of the home-buying process made purchasing our first home a pleasant experience in a competitive market and price range. Jean patiently guided us through our four month journey to locate and secure the best home for us. We confidently recommend Jean to anyone in need of a motivated and experienced realtor in Atlanta.

We'd give Allan 7 stars out of 5 if we could - read this and you'll see WHY. We looked at some houses early this year (I know, "pandemic market"...) and suffice it to say that we were less than impressed with the inventory out there. We wanted to buy in an extremely specific neighborhood, and there was just... NOTHING. We were getting desperate - our current house was way too small for two toddlers running around + WFH, and we needed OUT. FAST. It got to the point that we were days away from renting a new house, just to get out of the old one! ...Until Allan gave us a call. He had called up another agent who he'd done a few deals with in the past, and was able to get us in to see an off-market property within the next 48 hours. "I think it ticks all the boxes you're looking for," he said. He was absolutely right. We jumped on it, same-day full-ask offer, and were under contract by the following Monday. It was a very complex transaction with lots of moving parts due to ongoing renovation, but Allan and his team were ALWAYS there every single step of the way, and went SO far beyond the scope of "What an amazing agent does" that I don't know how we'd ever have gotten the deal done without him. Two things the Seller told us at closing that I will never forget, that say everything you need to know about Allan: #1 - "I am really glad that Allan **twisted our arm** to get you guys in to view the house, because we actually were not planning on putting it on the market for months!" I asked the Seller what he meant, and he said: "Oh yes, Allan pushed REALLY hard to get you guys in to see it..." ...followed immediately by my #2 quote-of-the-century: "...and you should be glad that Allan pushed," the Seller said, "because a couple of days after we went under contract, I got an all-cash offer AT $200K ABOVE the price we contracted for. YOU ARE WALKING INTO $200K IN FREE EQUITY" ...so basically what I'm saying is, you should probably stop reading reviews and just reach out to Allan.

Elizabeth was an excellent realtor for us! From putting notes in people's mailboxes whose homes weren't on the market that she thought might be interested into selling if nudged a little, to responding to text messages late at night, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. After multiple failed offers and countless homes visited, we finally took her advice to visit the top of our budget and found our home shortly there after. We would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone, especially shopping in the metro Atlanta area as she's extremely convenient and knowledgeable in these neighborhoods. As soon as fellow friends jump on board the house-buying train we'll be giving our her information as much as possible!

Jennifer is WONDERFUL to work with and made the experience of selling my home entirely positive. Jennifer was highly recommended to me by friends who recently sold their home and told me how impressed they were with her - and she wasn’t even representing them, she was the buyer’s agent! I am so happy I took my friends’ advise and asked Jennifer to sell my home. Throughout the entire process Jennifer was always engaged, knowledgeable, available, willing and able to solve any issues that came up, and easy to communicate with. Most importantly she “understood” the unique and personal qualities of my home and how to market it so that it went under contract and sold within a short period of time and at the right price - what more could a seller ask for? Whether you are buying or selling a home I absolutely recommend Jennifer Pryor to represent you!

My wife, Danielle, and I recently had the privilege of working with Betty Ereckson, who helped us find and purchase our retirement home in the lovely Astoria high rise condominium community. Betty is a consummate real estate professional who listened to our needs, understood our vision for the future, and delivered the perfect home to meet and even exceed our expectations. And she did it with grace and characteristic aplomb during a once in a lifetime pandemic that made everything about the process more cumbersome and unorthodox. Simply put, Betty delivers excellent customer service, and she proactively goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that her clients are pleased and get to the closing table with no surprises. For example, without Betty’s diligent reminders and gentle pushes, I am quite certain that my mortgage broker would have missed critical deadlines and imperiled the deal due to inexcusable delays. But not on Betty’s watch as she kept everything on track with the focus of a drill sergeant and charm of a southern grandmother. Indeed, Betty was so consistent in her communication with us that I recently called just to let her know that I missed hearing her voice. I say all of that to say this: Betty Ereckson is tremendous ambassador for Dorsey Alston, and her tireless efforts on our behalf won’t soon be forgotten.

I was very nervous about buying my first house and didn't know where to start, and then I found Allan! Allan was fantastic to work with and made this whole process far less daunting! He was very knowledgeable about the market, a highly skilled negotiator, extremely responsive, and always gave fantastic and honest advice. He even helped me deal with a less-than-helpful lender.

Josh and I were so fortunate to be able to work with Mallory Holt as our Realtor as we looked to buy our first home together. As our Realtor, she helped us find the right home in the right neighborhood and best of all for the right price! Mallory was there for us every step of the way as we toured multiple homes, made an offer on our dream home and then closed the deal. This was our first time buying a home so the whole process was unfamiliar and somewhat intimidating to us. But Mallory really helped to put us at ease. She took the time to answer all our questions (big and small), providing helpful and honest advice all along the journey. Her professionalism and work ethic made her an invaluable partner in our home-buying experience! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a new home!

I have worked with Barbara both times that I've made a house purchase plus, the times I thought I was ready in the past but, decided against it. She is absolutely wonderful, thorough, and patient and the best guide you can have during this nerve wracking time. She has always been there for me, no matter the time, and concern that I have. She is the great calm in the storm! When you go to see a home, she is so honest and informative about what cost would be coming in the near future. I have never felt that she just wanted a sale, but that she wanted to know I was safe and comfortable with my new home. I highly recommend Barbara!

We recently relocated back to the area and were looking for a real estate agent. As soon as we met Ashley we knew she was the one we wanted to work with. She is friendly, warm, efficient and professional. Her knowledge of the market helped guide us to specific neighborhoods that fit our criteria. She was always accessible immediately to answer questions. She guided us through the negotiation, inspection and closing process. We are thrilled with our new home, and we thoroughly enjoyed going through this process with Ashley. She has our highest recommendation!
