I had the arduous task of overseeing & managing a beloved family members estate, who lived around 500 miles away from me (MD to SC). This included emptying, prepping & ultimately selling the home where they had lived & raised a family for over 70+ years. After a (6) month Agent Agreement with our 1st realtor, which proved not to be as productive as we would have liked given (6) months was invested, we began the search for another agent to assist with the selling of this home. Without having any contacts of our own to draw from, we basically went onto the internet & did a search for the "Top Realtors in Columbia, SC". Candy Limehouse, with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Midlands Real Estate, was among those names listed. After reading a whole host of reviews for Candy I decided to call & leave a message, which was returned almost immediately. I gave Candy the long & short of our situation & the ultimate end goal of needing to sell the home. I spoke very candidly with Candy on what we wanted and needed to accomplish, especially given we lived in another state & couldn't be there to oversee all of the specifics that a typical homeowner has to take of when listing, showing & ultimate selling of their home. We needed someone who was interested in a Client/Agent relationship with us that would truly listen to us as her client(s), one who would communicate regularly given we lived in another state (THIS WAS CRUCIAL FOR US), who knew the current market conditions and one that we could trust to work on our behalf to get the job done. Candy Limehouse (& her team) delivered on all counts ~ and them some! She stated she wanted to offer us a (4) month Agent Agreement; after previewing the home she was confident that if priced right it could be sold in (4) months or less ~ WHICH IT DID! Her attention to detail was amazing! Her ongoing communication with us throughout the process was nothing short of OUTSTANDING! The energy & effort she & her team regularly demonstrated (specifically her assistant Casey) was unlike what most of us experience in the professional world today. Prompt, courteous, detailed oriented and goal driven are just a few descriptors that come to mind when speaking of Candy Limehouse and her team! They certainly went above and beyond, and it was an absolute pleasure working with them! And while the opportunity may not likely again present itself for us to work with Candy, we would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking to make a local move, relocate from somewhere else to South Carolina, or finds themselves in a similar situation we had with needing to sell a family home as a result of an estate matter. Candy Limehouse will certainly go out of her way to assist in every way possible when it comes to the buying and selling process of your current home, or future home in Columbia, South Carolina or surrounding areas/counties. Thank you Candy!

I cannot say enough good things about Kathy and our experience with her. From the first time we were on the phone until we closed on our house, we felt perfectly taken care of. She is insanely knowledgeable on the area and it shows. She was immediately able to scratch properties from our long list simply because she knew what we wanted in a house and what kind of neighborhood we were looking for, without having met us (and because the properties looked so good in photos of course I still wanted to drive by to take a look, and Kathy was right every single time). She is very honest and will tell you if you need to adjust your expectations or budget. In contrast to many other agents we had dealt with before, I almost always got a hold of her when I needed to, and if I had to leave a message, she got back with us very fast. This may not seem important to some, but when you have many questions and want to see a lot of houses, it changes everything, and is something I really appreciate. Apart from being really good at her job, Kathy is also just a great human being. She's sweet, funny and she never made us feel like we were just clients who she wanted to sell a house to and move on. The help we received from her went well beyond just showing us houses, and we'll always be grateful for that. To this day, I have not found a problem I have taken to her that she has not been able to fix, or at least give me instructions or a contact of how to fix it. I would absolutely recommend Kathy as the go-to person for all things home buying related.

Kathy treats you more like a friend or family, instead of a customer. She is very knowledgeable and she was never too busy to address our many concerns. She has helped us find 2 homes, that we ended up buying. She displayed the most amount of professionalism, care, and concern for my family and I from beginning to end. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home, because she will be there throughout the entire buying process; as well as after the deal is closed. A+ Realtor and A++ Person.
Description of Work: Kathy helped us buy our second home. She is now in the process of selling the first home that she sold to us, because we were Blessed enough to be able to upgrade.

Overall the experience went very well. We came into the process having done our research on as much as we knew and had a pretty good idea of what we were looking for as well. Although we did most of the leg work without the assistance of a realtor, they were great when it came to all the things we didn't know about the process and how to make it run smoothly. The only part of the experience that wasn't up to par was responsiveness, but that can be attributed to the vast number of clientele (more than normal) and the much greater workload they were trying to handle because of it. However, I would recommend using Candy Limehouse as a realtor to anyone.

Candy Limehouse was awesome. She didn't just search the MLS listings to find properties that were suitable for me; she used other contacts to look for properties that weren't yet listed. I was looking for land, not a typical home in the suburbs, and she had the needed experience. She never pressured me to spend more than what I was comfortable with. She understood the laws and regulations very well, so I felt like my interests were protected during the process. She stayed on top of things every step of the way and it was easy to reach her if I had questions. I really felt like she had my best interests at heart. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend her to others.

How did it go? In a word....PERFECT. Honestly, I could not have been more pleased with Candy and her assistant, Casey. I would recommend Candy and her team to anyone that is interested in buying or selling a home. She is top notch. I have never had a more pleasant experience in the real estate market than I did with Candy. She is an expert in her field and an advocate for her clients. She answered my many questions (via email, text, phone) quickly, accurately and with her engaging upbeat personality. If you are researching a Realtor and reading this review, stop here and call Candy. You've found the right person.
Description of Work: Completed comprehensive evaluation of our home along with suggestions to help us reach our desired selling price Provided detailed consultation on the selling process (from initial meeting all the way through until the closing table and beyond) Captured amazing images to showcase and highlight our home's greatest assets and attractions Our home was listed on a Thursday evening. That Saturday, we had 6 showings, 2 showings on Sunday, 2 more on Monday and an offer that day. Candy advised me of the pros and cons of the offer and provided her professional and instinctual opinion. We ended up passing on the offer. Then, just 7 days after our home was originally placed on the market, we ended up closing a deal for a full price offer! In short, Candy did everything that Realtor can and should do for their clients.

I couldn't be happier or more impressed. She is her client's best advocate in the selling/buying process. I appreciate her professionalism, honesty, and straightforward communication style the most. I can always get in touch with her, ask questions, and get clear and honest answers. She is effective and efficient. Her assistant, Casey, is wonderful, too. Very professional and thorough. I look forward to working with Candy and her team in the future. She is currently helping me purchase another property. I will use her again in the future. I highly recommend her - you will be a repeat customer. She earns your trust and respect from day one.
Description of Work: Listing agent to sell my town home: Candy visited my house prior to listing to present a marketing plan and answered all of my questions before I signed any paperwork. I received weekly email updates regarding the marketing of my house. Candy and her staff checked in with me every week via phone/text/email. She sought feedback after each showing. She guided me through the offer/contract/inspection/appraisal/closing process - every step of the way. She kept me updated on every aspect of the sale.

Candy is hands down one of the best realtors! She listed our house and within 24 hours we had accepted an offer! I had been following houses in our area for several years and houses just don't sell that fast! She was very knowledgeable, gave great advice, was attentive and always available when needed. She did a great job of keeping up with the banks and others who were involved in the process to make sure everyone was on task and even caught mistakes. We also used her for purchasing our new home which was great as well. She helped answer any questions and put our minds at ease. She gave her recommendations on if certain houses were a good buy or not. I could not say enough good things about Candy

She is always available for questions, and her team is just as wonderful to work with as she is. She is on your side, and only wants the best for her clients.

Candy and her team were fantastic! She was very responsive and accommodating to our short time line and was able to set aside two full days on short notice for us. It was very clear that she had our best interests in mind and was working to make sure that we found exactly what we needed. She also made the whole process of buying the house as simple as possible. She was able to take care of all the necessary things leading up to the closing as we were in another state. I would recommend her to anyone that needs to buy a house. She made the whole process easy and as low stress as buying a house can be.

We were able to sell our house in a less than average time on market!
Description of Work: Candy was great to work with! She really understands the market and was able to reach many many potential buyers. She provided good feedback before we were listed on what we should do to get ready for showings. She listened when we had concerns pop up and was able to navigate the process for us. We are a corporate relocation so there are an excessive number of hoops to jump through but she was extremely knowledgeable about it all.

Our agent, Candy Limehouse, was an excellent negotiator and a strong advocate for us. Because we were buying a house from 700 miles away, we needed someone like her to take charge, handle the details, and use her knowledge of the market. She was terrific, and we'd recommend her to any potential home buyer.
