“C21 Ames, please make sure to read this one in the next weekly meeting. 😉 Tami is and has always been the best. We would have been absolutley lost without her this past year. If you broke down her commission check into every phone call and meeting and showing and panicked-emergency-cocktails-on-the-porch meet-up, she probably was making less than $1/hour. We are lucky to have her as our real estate agent and even luckier she somehow claims us as friends. This whole adventure/dream/project was her idea to begin with, and we couldn't be more grateful!”

There were other first-time buyers who commented on Tami's ability to talk them through the process and her patience in helping them find what they were looking for. That definitely was true of our experience. Tami went above and beyond to make sure we found the right place for our family.

“We have an old family friend that used to work with Tami. She came highly recommended. From the beginning, I can tell she tailored her sales tactic to our particular attitude/personalities and it was highly appreciated. Through the whole process, Tami was very responsive and caring about the minute details of our situation/requirements. We are a multi-family household and Tami made sure to hunt and show us properties that would fit our life needs. The market for these requirements was small but she found the right spots to show us. Tami did not fluff things up for us. While some clients may respond well to that sort of tactic, we are very "to the point / no flourishing". I can tell Tami picked up on that right away and tuned her sales approach to our liking. It was a breath of fresh air to have someone get on our level and talk to us the way we respond well to. We were on the same page through the whole process as far as re pore.”

When we first met I was just in the information gathering stages of what it takes to buy a home and she answered all my questions and as we started looking at houses and making an offer she explained everything very concisely so I always knew what was going on.

It had a lot of complex details and was pending and failed because of the buyers financing. We had several offers and it was a really stressful situation but we trusted Tami with the sale and we would trust her again. Tami does a great job. We are hard clients and expect a lot but she was patient, kind, and respectful. Tami’s assistant always goes above and beyond as well as the other office staff. It was a very stressful sale but it wasn’t because of our side. Tami handled the ups and downs of the transaction well and our brokers were there to give her advice when it was needed.”
-
“Tami Hicks did great and was there every time we needed her to be there and then some! She even offered to come along when the seller invited us over to look through their furniture to see if there was anything we wanted to keep. She was very helpful during negotiations and got us an accepted offer below our ideal buying price. We had a few hiccups with the mortgage lender and ended up switching last minute but Tami was very helpful while we were trying to navigate through and she always had our backs and our best interest. She did everything in her power to double and then triple check that we would still be able to keep our closing date, even with switching lenders just a couple weeks out! My brother and sister have both utilized Tami's services and we will all continue to recommend her in the future!”
