Testimonials | Real Estate by Jeff Tice

"Jeff is extremely professional and accessible which is incredibly important in a real estate agent. We have dealt with multiple agents in different states and Jeff was exemplary. He is articulate and thorough - explained every step of the process in a clear manner. Kept us abreast of communications with buyers agent and followed up with necessary people when we had a complicating factor of septic tank issues. Strongly recommend. You won't find anyone better!" - Anna Killingsworth

"My son and I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Tice on the recent selling of our town home in Gainesville. We had received very personalized and exceptional services when we bought the unit in 2018. BHHS was our buyers’ agent then, I can safely say that Jeff exceeded any high expectations we might have already set in our minds based that past experience. In our initial meeting, he came fully prepared and ended up being a total professional throughout. Jeff had researched the unit history along with pulling permits to have a precise understanding of what we had in the unit. He was very open with suggestions on what we should do and not do in getting the unit ready for sale. He helped us to decide the best course of action which was to list once the unit was empty and set a realistic price. Communications throughout were very easy. Calls, texts & questions were promptly answered. When we first met and Jeff saw the property in person, he told us to be prepared for a whirlwind ride - he wasn't kidding - 21 days from listing to closing and sold way above list price. Couldn't have done this without all your help and guidance Jeff. Thanks" -Steve & Chris Wolff

"Jeff was consistently professional in all aspects to the degree that I was confident that I had made the right choice from our first conversation. His communication throughout the process surpassed even my highest expectations. I would consider no one but Jeff for any real estate transactions and would absolutely recommend Jeff to friends and colleagues (and have already done so). Throughout the home buying process, Jeff provided guidance while ensuring that my wife and I were leading the decisions. His knowledge and expertise helped us navigate a difficult real estate market and his dedication to us as clients demonstrated his sincere desire to help us find and close on our forever home. Even when there were issues with the sellers the night before closing, Jeff worked late into the night to help make sure everything proceeded smoothly. We just cannot thank Jeff enough for his help through the entire process." - Anthony & Paige Botelho

"We’ve bought 2 homes and sold 1 with Jeff, and we would not consider using any other Realtor in the area. His knowledge of the market is unparalleled, and his advice is always sound. Our most recent experience - we made an offer without seeing the home; that’s how much we trust Jeff. He walked through the home, took videos of the layout and measured all the rooms. When the inspection came, there were no surprises because Jeff already pointed out everything! Jeff Tice is the only Realtor we will use in Gainesville. Ever." - John & Bev Dickinson

“In preparing to sell our home we met with several Realtors. All of them were top tier local Realtors. Jeff was an easy choice after that. When we met Jeff, we were impressed with his desire to first learn more about us, our expectations, desires, and apprehensions. He was sincere and he listened. Jeff then impressed us with the depth of his knowledge. Jeff is a “numbers guy”. He uses data to refine his already keen understanding of the local market. He brought considerable resources to bear in our situation. In our case, drone imagery, professional photography and a slick brochure helped to market our home. Jeff had credible recommendations for inspections, repair contractors, etc. He was always available when we needed him. We gave Jeff a tight time preference to get our home sold, and he met it. We couldn’t ask for more. We would not hesitate to recommend Jeff to friends, family, and anyone interested in buying or selling a home.” -Don & Shelley Enkerud

He gave great advice." - Megan Ennes

-Marilyn Holloman

Jeff was highly recommended to me by two friends and co-workers that had worked with Jeff in the past. When Denise and I decided we wanted to begin looking for a home we wanted a Realtor that was experienced, knowledgeable and would be able to help us through the home-buying process for our first time. Jeff was always friendly, well dressed and cheerful each time we met whether that was in his office or at a home. There was never a time during this process when we felt we didn’t have enough information. We had many questions and Jeff was always happy to answer them. Additionally, he never hesitated to give his personal opinion when we asked for it. He made us feel secure, like someone was watching out for us. Jeff’s greatest strengths are his absolute knowledge of every facet of house hunting and his warm personality. He was able to point out a million different things about each house and property that we never would have noticed, which saved us from making some bad decisions and he did it all with a smile. He helped us buy the perfect house for us, no fuss and no stress – we consider him our friend and would never think about using another Realtor again. –Andrew Matchett
