What our clients say, in their own words.
Nothing on this page was written by us. These are verbatim quotes from Pretty Home Realty clients, trimmed only for length. Many of them sat down on camera afterward, and those interviews are here too, so you do not have to take a printed quote on faith.
Sellers
People who sold with us
“Right away we felt comfortable. We felt we could ask any question without being embarrassed or ashamed. They were there when I needed them. When I called, they answered the phone. I didn't have to track them down, so they took the stress out of the situation.”
“I think it took us less than a week. People came in to look at it and wanted to buy. There were no problems with the selling of the property at all. We sold the place so quickly.”
“I didn't want to get rid of the lot when I got your letter. That letter just made everything clear for me. It helped me make that tough decision. Every question I had was answered to my satisfaction.”
“I have never encountered a realtor like you guys. You showed me the professionalism, the kindness, the generosity that I deserve. I do appreciate it.”
“They were very patient with me. I would ask a question and they would say I'm working for you, whatever you want me to do just let me know. You do what's supposed to be done, the right thing.”
“Shawn and Christina helped me save my building, salon, and my home. I was in a very difficult situation when they walked into my business and offered me lots of options, and I just knew that they could help me, even though other people before could not help. They worked a miracle.”
“I knew that I wanted to sell quickly. I did not want my property just sitting in a mix of unsold properties. Christina took the ball and ran with it. We talked about pricing and what my goal was, and she listened to me and priced it very well. As soon as it went on the market, the first day, my phone was just dinging dinging dinging for viewers who wanted to view the property, mainly because of the pricing factor, so we met my goal.”
Buyers
People who bought with us
“I was going through a lot of different agents and I just wasn't getting the help that I needed. I told him don't be discouraged because he got a little frustrated. I told him to just keep looking, you will come across that one person that wants to do the right thing. Pretty Home Realty had that person, Shawn Calhoun.”
“He was courteous, diligent, and reassuring. He explained the process and kept me informed. He even called after the purchase to see how everything was going.”
“Shawn and Christina helped our family find our home. They were able to get us in to view the houses we wanted to see in a timely manner. They are professional, thorough and efficient realtors!”
“You guys were our trail blazers and you got us through this completely. Even when we had some negative thoughts, you always kept us positive and mentally strong.”
“This was my first home, I really didn't know what to do. You know how to handle these things and explained them while putting them into understandable terms for me. I appreciate your honesty.”
Everyone else
The rest of them
“Y'all are awesome and so efficient. Everything went smoothly and I think we worked real good together. I would recommend you guys in a heartbeat.”
“These guys are very reliable! They were patient and reasonable to the end. What I really like about Shawn is that he is honest and he will give you advice on anything about real estate.”
“Working with the Calhoun Team was fantastic! They were always on top of stuff even when we weren't. Every single question we asked, and there were a lot of them, they answered quickly and properly.”
“You guys are always accessible, that was a good thing. I really appreciated that you never put any pressure on us. You said listen, we're gonna get it right. We got it right!”
“He was courteous, diligent, and reassuring. He explained the process and kept me informed. He even called after the purchase to see how everything was going.”

“My wife and I had a very positive experience working with you. We really like your professionalism, your friendliness, also your sense of humor! I definitely will be recommending you.”
“I was looking for a nice home or condominium. It was kind of difficult at first but there were so many good choices so we saw them quickly. It was a lot of teamwork involved. They got my perfect home.”
“There's not as many houses on the market as I would like, but Shawn and Christina helped me find the right house for my family. I have two girls, we were looking for a good school district.”
“Thank you so much! It's been a long journey and I appreciate that everything you guys did was smooth and professional.”
“Something that you worked hard to make sure of was to accommodate anything I needed. I appreciate your courtesy. You would ask questions and then you would follow through.”
“Trying to find the right area with what I was looking for was kind of difficult. We enjoyed working with you, and we looked at as many houses as we needed to find the perfect one.”
“I knew that I didn't want to rent much longer, because I knew that I probably was spending way too much money renting, and I was right. Everything was just right. It really worked out for the best.”
Questions we get
Straight answers about our reviews
Are these reviews real?
Yes. Every one of them is from an actual Pretty Home Realty client and is printed in their own words. We trim for length with ellipses and we never change the wording. Many of the people quoted here also sat down on camera, and those interviews are linked on this page so you can hear them say it.
Can I talk to one of your past clients?
Yes. Ask and we will connect you with a client whose situation looked like yours. We would rather you hear it from them than from us.
Where else can I see your reviews?
Our Google Business Profile, our Facebook page, and our YouTube channel, which has hundreds of videos including the client interviews on this page.
Do you have reviews from sellers whose home did not sell the first time?
Expired listings are a new direction for us and we are not going to pretend otherwise. The sellers quoted on this page sold with us, several of them after a difficult situation, but we are not describing any of them as expired-listing clients because that would not be true. When we have those stories on camera, they will go here.
Want to talk to one of them? Ask. We will connect you with a client whose situation looked like yours.
