Testimonials

I worked with Joanna McIver and she was amazing! I was looking for something very specific and she was very patient with me. She gave great advice and helped me get the perfect home. During closing she was on top of everything and had great recommendations of people to work with. She was a joy to work with and I always looked forward to seeing her.

Molly Corder and team is superior. Molly assisted in the selling and buying of our properties and we couldn't be more pleased with her professionalism, knowledge, work ethic and outcome of both transactions. Initially, we were unsure of our plans but Molly was appropriately persistent with keeping us informed of the latest homes to hit the market. She was diligent, timely, patient, kind, and listened to our "wants" and "needs". Her knowledge of the market, locally and nationally, is unparalleled. She was our advocate and we were confident in our communication/negotiating as she charted the course for us. Honestly, she made it easy.

Gray was so incredibly helpful and dedicated to our family in search for a home in Tallahassee. She spent countless months with us while we traveled back and forth from South Florida, finding and showing us property’s from when we couldn’t make it there. She went above and beyond until we found the perfect home!

We retained Hettie Spooner to sell our home because she has a reputation as an excellent Realtor. She did not disappoint. Hettie knows how to prepare a home for sale to maximize its value, she understands the market and is a superb negotiator. We highly recommend Hettie to anyone selling or buying a home.

Lori Mattice represented us in the purchase of our home and she was a pleasure to deal with. Not only was she attentive to our “wish list” as far as what we wanted in a home, but her extensive local market knowledge proved to be invaluable during the house hunting process…would definitely use her again.

Jessica is very conscientious and does everything she can to always exceed expectations! She will go above and beyond in every situation and someone who can be trusted!!

Caroline Brewster of Hill Spooner & Elliot helped me and my family find the perfect house during a very competitive housing market. She offered thoughtful and honest advice while encouraging us to look at multiple homes and find what worked best for us. She navigated a long closing and negotiation process and helped us put the right offer in for the right house. Most important, our questions and concerns were a priority and Caroline worked hard to make sure we received the information needed for us to make a decision. I am so thankful we worked with her to find our home!

Grey was amazing to work with and found me the most perfect house!

Resourceful, dedicated, experienced AND a lovely person to work with - Caroline Brewster made our buying and selling experience a breeze.

5 stars for the Buford team!! They are the best!

I have worked with Caroline Brewster numerous times over the past 10 years. She has connections all over the area, very knowledgeable and an absolute delight to work with!

I have used Lori Mattice for all my real estate needs after moving to Tallahassee over 25 years ago. Her professionalism and knowledge of the market has been excellent. Her contacts for other services I have needed have also been very helpful. I highly recommend.

Jessica was amazing. She helped us seamlessly through all the steps in our transition moving from Pennsylvania to Florida. Couldn’t recommend a better realtor.

From the get go, Hettie took time to get to know us and to understand what we were looking for. She was very honest throughout our search about what would work for our family and what would not so that we didn’t waste our time, ultimately finding the perfect place for us. She, along with her team, stayed on top of everything during the closing process. I’m a mom of four young kids, and my husband is a physician; the fact they pretty much took everything off of our hands, and made the process go so smoothly was appreciated. I’m so thankful for her. We’ve bought two houses with Hettie and we will absolutely be working with her and her company again.

Jessica is hands down amazing. From the first conversation to our settlement she was so attentive the whole process.

We worked with Lauren Womble and Summer Eades. They helped us sell our house and buy a new one. When I say these ladies went above and beyond to help us, that's an understatement. They were so accommodating to our crazy schedules and requests. They couldn't have been more patient with us. I can't even count the number of times they went out of their way to help us find what we wanted. They were both there every step of the way and always available through phone call, text or email. They didn't rush us on decisions, and they saved us A LOT of money. All of their recommendations were on point, be it houses, inspections, title companies, loan officers or insurance. We would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional realtors!

Where should I start…. Kayana Gaines, Realtor with Hill Spooner and Elliott is the best!!! With everything I am currently going through, she made the home buying process a breeze.

Joanna is awesome, very knowledgeable and helpful navigating the buying and selling process! She was very patient as I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted or where in town to buy.

Working with Joanna McIver is a joy! I loved spending time with her and she did a great job communicating with us along the way. I am highly thankful for her guidance and expertise.

Hettie gave me the most amazing home-buying experience. She truly listened to what I wanted and never made me feel rushed. Also told me not to rush!! She spent so much time with me personally, and her dedication paid off in the best way possible—she found me a home that wasn’t even on the market yet! Her knowledge of the market and eye for detail are unmatched. Hettie walked into the house and immediately said, “I know this is the one for Darcy.” Later she called me and said, “I found your house.” And she was right—it was perfect. Not only is Hettie professional and highly knowledgeable, but she also cares deeply for her clients. Working with her was wonderful from start to finish. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

At the same time, Hettie helped us find our next home, and she made sure we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. Hettie went above and beyond to make the entire process of buying and selling simultaneously run smooth, which is no easy feat. We highly recommend Hettie to anyone looking to buy or sell. She’s simply the best and has a fabulous team at HSE!

I first worked with Gray Nichols almost four years ago when she helped me sell my home. We stayed in touch, and she kept her eye out for me as I thought about buying again. So when the time came, she was the person I turned to. The process moved quickly — I saw my new house and was under contract in just three days. Gray’s responsiveness and calm confidence made it seamless. She also brought great creativity and vision, sharing thoughtful renovation ideas that made me excited about the possibilities. What I value most about Gray is her mix of professionalism, positivity, patience and genuine care. She listens, problem-solves, and truly goes above and beyond. I can’t recommend her enough!

I had the pleasure of working with Kayana Gaines as my realtor after relocating to Tallahassee, and she exceeded all of my expectations. From start to finish, Kayana was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and seamless. What impressed me most was how efficient she was—I was able to complete the entire home-buying process in about 30 days, which is no small feat! Kayana kept me informed every step of the way, answered all of my questions with patience and clarity, and always had my best interests in mind. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond for her clients, I highly recommend Kayana Gaines. She made my transition to Tallahassee not only possible but enjoyable, and I couldn’t be happier with my new home.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ashlyn Estes on a few real estate transactions, and I can confidently say it is always an amazing experience! She communicates clearly, stays on top of every detail, and always puts her clients first.

As a title agent, I have the privilege of working with many real estate professionals, and I can confidently say that Ashlyn Estes stands out as one of the very best. Ashlyn is always proactive and organized, ensuring every transaction runs smoothly from start to finish. She keeps everyone involved informed and on track, which makes the closing process seamless and stress-free.

Ashlyn is the best! We only looked at a couple of houses with her, but she helped us find the perfect home. She responded to all of our questions at all hours and as quick as she could. She made the process a breeze and took all the anxiety out of the process. Even after we closed and were living in the house, she still was available to help with the little things. Can not recommend her enough!

Ashlyn Estes is extremely helpful in answering any questions - whether simple or complex ones. She has made the home buying process so much more enjoyable and calmed any nerves I had. Cannot recommend enough!

Ashlyn is the best! She was super knowledgeable and answered all of the dumb and not so dumb questions we had as first time home buyers. I was reluctant to buy, but Ashlynn found us our dream home that checked off every box! She even got us an incredibly thoughtful housewarming gift and ate waffle house sundaes on the kitchen counter with us the day everything became official. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Hartsfield Roofing loves working with Amanda Laudadio! She’s has great communication, is organized, and always a pleasant to work with. Every interaction we’ve had together has been smooth and stress-free thanks to her professionalism and attention to detail. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients and gets things done, she’s the one!

Anthony Laudadio was a great realtor who made sure that our buying experience was smooth. He was attentive, dependable and patient. We started the homebuying journey in Florida from out of state and we needed someone we can trust to walk us through the process. We had some bumps in the road and Anthony helped us navigate those bumps. We were blessed to have Anthony and his expertise throughout the process. I would highly recommend Anthony because he goes over and beyond to give you what you need to make the best buying decisions.

Anthony Laudadio was a great realtor for my husband and me. We were so lucky to have found him. We were not really looking to buy a home - only to look this year and try to buy next year. But, after one conversation with Anthony, we felt that it was possible and he cared. It fueled our interest to purchase our home this year instead. He did almost everything we asked. I was stressed for him, but he took our requests in stride and exceeded my expectations every time. Anthony made the "purchasing a home" journey enjoyable. I cannot wait for the next time for us. If you're searching for a loyal and a go-above-and-beyond realtor, Anthony is the person for you. Thanks Anthony!

Ashlyn has been so great to work with! She is always easy to get a hold of and has answers any questions we have had in the home buying process so far!

Cannot recommend Dustin enough! From our first meeting to closing day, he was professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond. My husband and I were looking to buy a home in Tallahassee while we were still located in Sarasota. This is not always the easiest, but Dustin made the entire process seamless. He would go to properties and film in depth walk-throughs for us. When we were in town, he was very accommodating to our schedule. After we found the house of our dreams, he provided us with any and all updates and even scheduled and met with an electrician and handyman to complete a few minor repairs before closing. We felt very confident working with Dustin, and we are so happy we chose him as our realtor! He even bakes delicious cakes at closing!!

Savannah was awesome during the process of buying our new home! She was very knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way!

I was living 7 hours away when I began looking for a house in Tallahassee, so I needed a firm that is trustworthy. Hill Spooner & Elliott was highly recommended by a friend. I had the pleasure of working with Savannah Stephens, who went above and beyond without being asked. She acted on my behalf on occasions that I wasn't able to be there in person, and did everything she could to help me and my family. Now I'll be the one recommending Savannah and HS&E to my friends!

I would highly recommend working with Savannah!!! She was always willing to show us houses we were interested in and eager to answer our questions and address any concerns we had.

Constance, Nikki and Georgia make up “The Buford Team.” What a trio of enthusiasm, information and style! Whether you are looking for a new home or an investment, these ladies will steer you in the right direction! They are responsive and will listen to your wants and needs. No one knows Tallahassee better than the three of them. When you contact Hill Spooner and Elliott, ask for “The Buford Team.”

We met Constance at an Open House. We provided our contact information and she followed up with us immediately. Constance showed us lots of houses and even visited houses via FaceTime for us when we were not able to travel to Tallahassee. Constance was always very quick to respond when we had questions. The communication we received from both Constance and Georgia was great. We will definitely recommend them to our family and friends.

The Buford Team from Hill Spooner are the absolute best. Constance was and will forever be our primary agent, but with one Buford comes the knowledge and expertise of all three. Constance, Georgia, and Nikki went above and beyond to find my wife and I the perfect home. As first time homebuyers, it would have been easy for us to become overwhelmed with the process. That’s where the Bufords stepped in. Not only did Constance think outside the box in finding our home, she and the team were always available to answer our questions and provide us the information we needed to make informed decisions. We cannot wait to raise our twin girls in the home they found for us! 10 out of 10 will use the Bufords for all our future real estate transactions!

Georgia, Constance and Nikki were AMAZING from the beginning of our home search journey all of the way until closing day (and after!) The Buford Team was knowledgable, helpful and very positive even with the tough buyer's market. The team of three went above and beyond when trying to find a house to hit every checkmark. In the end, we were able to find my dream home in my dream location. Their constant communication and helpful connections allowed the contract process to move efficiently and seamlessly. Besides that, they're a BLAST to work with! Can't wait for a housewarming party!

We were privileged to have the Buford team to be part of the purchase of my children’s first homes. They were very professional and took the time to walk through the details that only a first home buyer would need help with. They treated them as if they were the only client they had walking them through the pros and cons of various details while purchasing their home. Took the time to be part of the home inspection pointing out details of various components of their house. The benefit of having three people helping you is such a bonus! I highly recommend using them in the next purchase or sale of your property!

The best realtors in Tallahassee! Constance and the Buford Team treated our family like theirs. No matter the time or place they would be there. We found our dream home and cannot thank them enough! As a new homeowner, they made the home buying process less daunting. Even after we moved in, they followed up with us and gave us great referrals for anything we needed. If you’re looking for realtors who are knowledgeable, experienced and know the community, look no further.

The Buford Team have been close family friends for a long time so I already knew they would do a great job! With that being said, they exceeded my expectations. I was a first home buyer and they went above and beyond to ensure I was knowledgeable about each step of the process. It was evident that it was very important to them that we found the perfect house!
