Candy Limehouse is as good as it gets at selling your house for you. First of all she gets you in the right price range to start with and then recommends cost effective improvements to help your house sell fast. She does a marvelous job of shooting photos to go in the multiple listings. Her pictures really enhance the marketing of your house. Candy is very good at keeping well informed and advising you on offers and counter offers. She is one of the best I've seen.

Everything was AWESOME. GREAT team work between Candy and myself. She even kept y husband whom is deployed well in the loop with the selling of our house. THANK YOU!
Description of Work: I am HONORED to give my perspective on what Mrs Candy Limehouse has done for my family. We are a military family and during our time of sell my husband was deployed. So as a military spouse I had to do/sign everything with a power of attorney. At the time of selling, I had moved out the state. Candy Limehouse was strongly adamant on providing the best service and to ensure me that even with me being out of state, she would be in contact with full force. AND THAT SHE WAS! She not only contacted me about the selling, she would just say HELLO. That made me feel comfortable that not only was she my realtor, but she was (is) a great friend. She sold my home within one month and all was handled with great care and admiration. She and her staff are a joy to work with! You will surely be honored to have Candy Limehouse represent you with any of her awesome business trades!

My husband and I needed to sell our house as we relocated for new jobs. Candy was wonderful walking us through the process as first time sellers. She met with us at her office and gave us the facts, did not pressure us to select her, but made sure we knew what to do, what not to do, and what to watch out for as we selected a Realtor and began listing our house. We agreed to work with her and she came out to view our house and give us tips to stage it and increase our potential listing. She then came back to take photos and listed our house in many medias (websites, flyers, books, etc.). She was very professional and maintained contact with us throughout the process, even when we relocated to another state. She also helped us through the closing process, since we did a mail away closing. She always explained everything in depth and provided professional advice to help us sell our house.

We were referred to Candy Limehouse by our original agent when he suddenly changed jobs, and we could not have been more pleased. From day one, Candy was attentive, enthusiastic, highly motivated, and creative in how she marketed our house for a quick and effective sale. We would use Candy again without hesitation, and will confidently refer her to any friends or family in need of an agent to sell or purchase a home.

Everything went just great. Candy is a very personal agent and very knowledgable about her job. I am very happy with the results and made a small profit, eventhough, there were a lot of upgrades the buyer requested and many items that needed repair from the home inspection.
Description of Work: She sold my property at 590 Harmon Rd., Hopkins, SC, 29061. She advertised it on many internet websites and kept me updated on all changes and gave me recommendations of what to do to sell the property.

As a young first time home buyer I had no idea what I was about to leap into. After researching realtors I decided on Candy. It's the best decision I could have made. Candy is a pleasure to work with, she made sure I understood everything that was taking place. She joked that she was like my second mom. Her skills are truly amazing! She fought for me to get the very best which I know most would not have managed or even attempted. I was always updated and never felt out of the loop. Everyone I met at prudential was a pleasure. Her assistant Casey and her broker Brenda were also a big help. There were some roadblocks, and stressful doesn't begin to describe the home buying process, but I credit Candy for keeping me sane. Otherwise, I probably would have lost my mind. Lol Now I am a homeowner and it feels amazing. Candy Limehouse is the real deal. I couldn't recommend you more. Thank you!

Wow! Thank you so much for your recommendation. What am amazing review [member name removed]! It was a challenging transaction but we both put our heart and soul into it and made it happen!

Kathy Garrick went above and beyond as both our realtor when we bought and sold. Buying with her taught us where we needed our family to be and where the best schools were. Selling with her brought us top dollar and a quick sell time (1 week). She kept on top of showings and was prompt in getting feedback to us from potential buyers. Would highly recommend her to buy or sell in theColumbia area.
Description of Work: We used Kathy Garrick as a buying agent when we moved to the Columbia area 5 years ago and used her again when we sold our house this year. She really helped us narrow down and relocate to the area that was best for our family. She really knows the era and handled ll the hiccups with great professionalism. If my family ever moves back to the Columbia area we would use Kathy's services again. We have looked with other realtors in other moves and she was the best realtor we've come across. She knows schools and overall areas in the midlands like no other realtor we've come across.

Multiple issues arose in transitioning rental home to a show-ready for-sale property. Candy Limehouse was superb in coordinating for rapid repairs of ceiling cracks, pipe leaks, painting, roof repairs, termite mitigation, HVAC repairs and other wide-ranging services. As a home seller living in Hawaii, she was superb in making the necessary repairs to get my home sold. Bids were very reasonable and there were no surprises or hidden fees in final bills of completed work. Candy Limehouse was pivotal in getting my hard-to-sell home sold!
Description of Work: Coordinated for prompt, professional, and reasonably priced home repairs.

My experience working with Candy Limehouse was wonderful! The seller was rather difficult to work with, particularly on the home repairs. Candy really fought for what was best for me and maintained pressure on the Sellers to get the work done. I was a first time homebuyer and it was such a relief to have her help and expertise throughout this process.

I searched for a realtor to sell my home using Angie's List. I spoke with the recommended providers secretary and was promised a return call later in the day when she would be free. The recommended provider did not return my call or initiate any other form of contact. Very disappointed with the Angie's List recommendation!
Description of Work: Provide failed to respond when service was requested. No return phone call or other contact was initiated by the provider.

Candy did a great job helping us buy our first home. She helped us find our dream neighborhood and house. More importantly, when we had a small electrical issue in the house about a year after our house purchase, she helped us negotiate with the home warranty company. She was extremely responsive, thorough, and thoughtful. I was extremely impressed with her after this last transaction. I hope we never have to move- we love the house she found for us! But, if we do, she will for sure be our selling agent.

My wife and I were relocating back to our home state of Ohio after living in the Columbia area for 8 years. We did not know any local real estate agents so I looked to Angie's list. I found Candy Limehouse on Angie's list and after interviewing her and several other agents we selected Candy. What a great decision! Candy is professional, thorough, hard working and a pleasure to work with. You will NOT find another agent that will work harder for you and fight for your best interests. We were truly blessed to find Candy. Bill H.

I had just moved back to the States from overseas and a friend recommended Kathy Garrick. From the very beginning, she provided excellent service! She was very patient in dealing with and attempting to accommodate my desires, was more than willing to put in extra time outside of normal work hours to accommodate my hectic work schedule, and consistently provided sound advice to me throughout the process. I would definitely recommend her; I will also not hesitate to go back to her for any future real estate needs!

Kathy was able to assist my family in finding a home in the Lexington SC area. She set up appointments to tour available houses until my wife and I found one we liked. Kathy was a great help during the closing process as our lender was stalling on the approved closing date by finding us alternative mortgage loan options. I would highly recommend Kathy Garrick and I would her again to list or buy a house.

Kathy was great! We only have a couple weeks to find a house so that we could be in our house for school to start on January 7, 2014. Total time we had was about 6 weeks to find and close on a house. It was made more difficult because we are not subdivision kind of home buyers. We needed some land and wanted to be on Lake Murray. Those are very hard things to find in our budget. Kathy was great at taking houses I had found online and letting us know what she thought and if we should spend our small amount of time on them. She kept us from wasting time on houses that seemed good online, but in reality were not the fit for us. She listened very closely to our wants, was very aware of our needs and led us to a great house on the lake. She also helped us stay in our budget and get our dream of living on the lake. We loved having Kathy help us find this home. Our closing was so smooth, it was quick and by far the easiest of the 4 closings we have done. Definitely would use Kathy again and we have already recommended to her to others moving to the area.
Description of Work: Kathy Garrick was our realtor for a recent relocation to the Columbia, SC area. We had a very short time period to find a new home that met our criteria.

We meet Kathy Garrick on a whim while driving through the Columbia area. She graciously took the time out of her day to help us the one day we decided to come look at the area. We communicated through e-mail as to what we were looking for in a home, location, and price and Kathy worked one-on-one with us to make sure we got what we were looking for. She fit into our schedule of when we could come look at homes and made sure that we could see homes in our price range. Upon choosing a house and location, Kathy periodically checked on our new home construction- sending us pictures and updates as we were unable to do so living out of state. Kathy was punctual in her responses to our questions/concerns and always handled herself in a professional manner. We really appreciated Kathy's honesty and upfront answers. She went above and beyond during our house hunt and final walk-through by helping to monitor our two young children. Without her help it would have been nearly impossible for both of us to get a good look at the houses. Even after the closing Kathy periodically checks up on us to make sure that we are all doing well. She truly cares about her clients and wants what is best for them- she does everything she can to help. Kathy was very knowledgeable in every aspect of our house hunt. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house.
Description of Work: Kathy Garrick was an amazing realtor. She showed us a variety of homes that fit our price range, helped monitor the construction of our house, and oversaw our closing documents.

I met Kathy Garrick and started our real estate relationship over one year before we purchased a house. The biggest obstacle was my husband, getting him on board. Kathy is a very comfortable person to be with, very low key in her approach with helping you find what is right for you. Because she is a "non fuss person", I think men are comfortable with her. I know my husband was. She actually without hounding my husband (as I was doing) drew him into the process. More than I ever could. I highly recommend Kathy if you: 1. Have a husband who sits in a recliner from the time he gets home from work to the time he goes to bed. 2. Have a husband who has never bought a home in a neighborhood at even slightly higher than the one he grew up in. 3. Have a husband who's favorite phrase is "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Really though she is very knowledgeable about the Columbia area. She sells all over the city, Greater Columbia area. She hooked us up with a great mortgage broker. I told her we needed someone with VA loan experience and she indeed set us up with a great guy. I gave her our target neighborhood and she delivered with choices worth looking at, sometimes looking is educational. That way if someone in your party thinks something should cost a dollar and it cost two dollars, she is there to explain why. (My husband) We bought a great home in the neighborhood behind the VA. Lastly, she is a great Gamecock fan. She will however help the Clemson fans lost in Columbia and she'll be nice about it too!

Amazing. They are very professional. Great experience with the rental side. They managed all the details and made it easy for me. Candy Limehouse-I cannot say enough about how special she is. She goes above and beyond-time after time. She is knowledgeable, thorough, tough, and the hardest working person I know!! Having bought a house from her and seeing her on both sides of the transactions, she is top-notch and I will never do another real estate transaction without her being involved. I wholeheartedly 100% recommend her and her team at Prudential Midlands!!!!
Description of Work: I have worked with Prudential Midlands many times over the past 6 years. My realtor has been Candy Limehouse. I ahve bought a house from her, she has listed that same house and sold it. She has found me a rental home and then the current home I live in and own now. She is currently listing a town-home that I am trying to sell. Prudential Midlands served as the rental company for the town-home for a few years and it was a great team.

The agent, although got back to us within 24 hours was 30 minutes late to the appointment, and then it became immediately apparent that she had only spent about 5-10 minutes looking at comparables. The three houses she pulled we were extremely familiar with, one was a foreclosure buy, and the other one had no upgrades and was 600 square foot less with sellers that needed to sell as quickly as possible. Gave no indication on how any strategies on how to sell the house nor had any advice on what we could do to maximize potential. As much as we understand that this is a free service at this point, we expected a little more effort on someone who is a potential client.
Description of Work: Looked over our house so that we could get a professional opinion of anything we needed to do to maximize our price selling the house.
