Nicole and Amy are two of the sweetest ladies in real estate. It is always a pleasure to work with professionals who are driven to instill knowledge of the home buying process in their customers.

Big thanks to Kelsey Purcell for helping me buy and sell! She was always available for me and helped me more than I could have imagined. I was in a situation where I needed to sell quick and she was on top of it! I appreciate everything she did for me and I'm thankful for our friendship we have now as well!

I worked with Laura Vandal to sell some land in Georgia. She did an absolutely fabulous job for me! She contacted the buyer and the lawyer’s office and made all of these communications go very smoothly. I am an out-of-town seller, so I very much needed her local expertise and experience. I highly recommend Laura to anyone needing a realtor!

Laura Vandal is the best real estate agent there is! I was working with someone else when I found her and I wasn’t happy with who I had and she went above and beyond for me. I inquired about a home at midnight the night before and she messaged me at 6:45 am that morning to make plans to see a home. She did whatever it took to get me to that home to view it. I knew she was the one when she did that. She has been amazing since then. She found us our dream home in Martin and I couldn’t be happier. She is very knowledgeable about the area and went above and beyond to make sure we understood everything we needed to since we were first time home buyers. I couldn’t have done any of this without her and I’m truly grateful for her and her team. If you want the best buying experience, you have to go to Laura. You won’t regret it!!!!!!

I am honored to have this opportunity to share our gratitude regarding our experience with Laura Vandal at Talan Properties. My mother and I were guided to Laura by one of her clients to seek her services in selling my mother's property. From the beginning, we built a great rapport with Laura. She has excellent communication skills and a firm understanding of what it means to serve her clients in their endeavor to market and sell their property. From our first contact with her until the closing was completed, she worked diligently with us through the process of preparing the property for listing, working with the photographers, communicating with us and the buyer's agent, and answering any questions we had throughout the process. She gave us a sense of comfort in a very stressful time with her calm demeanor and confident manner. Through her familiarity with the market and knowledge of real property values, Laura was able to suggest a reasonable and fair listing price. The property was under contract in less than a week, and the sale closed about two weeks afterward.Thank you, Laura! It's been a pleasure working with you. And thank you, Talan Properties for having Laura as an outstanding asset for your agency. She's a keeper!

Laura Vandal was a blessing in our search for a home in Georgia! Searching Lake Hartwell listings on line from NJ was incredibly frustrating until Zillow referred us to Laura and Talan Properties. She was incredibly responsive and patient throughout our process of figuring out what we actually wanted, and then helping us land it well within our budget!). Laura has always been upbeat and proactive, and no request was ever too great or inconvenient. Importantly, she facilitated our process with a community of trusted resources. Laura acted quickly on our behalf in viewing properties and negotiating price, which was critical in this market. She even attended the closing in our absence. Even after closing, Laura and the team at Talon have been incredibly helpful in finding trustworthy contractors and services in our new home. Trust Laura and Talon to have your best interest at heart!

We struck gold with Laura Vandal! Easily one of the most pleasurable real estate experiences we have ever had! We live out-of-state and worked with Laura to sell a land lot in Northern Georgia. She got it sold for us in less than 2 weeks and we were very happy with the price! She was a very professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and just all-around good, honest person to work with. Very highly recommend. Thank you Laura!
