As a metro Atlanta Realtor, I had the pleasure of cooperating on the sale of my listing with Buyer agent Marie Torrance with Traditions Home Team. In this highly competitive market, every seller has plenty of choices when finding a buyer for their home. When I spoke with Marie, I knew immediately that the sale would be a win for both parties. Not only was she a delightful communicator, but she had incredible organization and care for her buyers and our relationship as cooperating agents. This mentality always leads to a smoother transaction. The sellers could have gone with another buyer easily, but Marie clinched the deal for her buyers with me on the spot! Thankful to have worked with Marie and hope to again in the future!

Buying and selling a house with Marie was such a great experience! She listened carefully to what was important to us and made it her mission to find that for us. And I never imagined selling our house would be so simple. She helped line up what needed to be done step by step so it wasn’t as overwhelming as I feared it would be. I hope I don’t move again in the near future, but if I do I know who I’ll call!

I feel so very blessed that our house sold, and I am very grateful to you for all that you did to make it
happen. I especially appreciate your patience, your moral support, & your encouragement. I also
appreciate you going above and beyond to help us find the right home. I have to admit, you were
more optimistic than me throughout the process.

Jeannie helped my mom and I sale my childhood home. She was both personable and
knowledgeable as an agent. Having never sold a home before she was a great support to us. At
the negotiating tables we knew she had our backs and was transparent with us about what to
expect, where to yield and where to push back.
Highly likely to recommend

I don’t know how we could have made it through this process without you. Your advice, knowledge
and patience got us through what could have been a truly miserable experience. You made it almost
fun! You are the ultimate real estate professional and while I know you’ll always be our agent. I hope
we can also call you our friend. Thanks Again!

They have been in business continuously since 1987 through all the boons and busts. Not only do they know the areas, but they have seen the area grow up around them. We have chosen to buy a new house still in construction and will be completed by May. Your advice saved us from making a reckless mistake. What good fortune to have met you.

I cannot say enough good things about Jay and Traditions Home Team. They helped us get through a very tough short sale and were with us every step of the way. They helped us find the perfect home for us, kept in touch through phone and email constantly, kept us up to date as to the goings-on involved with the various steps of a short sale and were extremely kind and patient with us through all of it. I would recommend to anyone in need of an experienced Realtor!
