Reviews and Testimonials for Columbia County Real Estate Specialists Agents

Margaret is such an amazing realtor and great person! We connected with Margaret when we were looking for a second home in Columbia County in 2019. She was very responsive and helpful, and was very good about understanding what we were looking for, what was important to us, etc. We’ve also kept in touch after we bought the home and Margaret continues to be a useful resource to us, recommending local shops and services, and providing general information. I can’t say enough nice things about her. Highly recommended

When it came time to sell my father’s home, Margaret was there every step of the way. I lived out of town down in Georgia with my sister in New York city so not in the same town as dad’s home. When we had a buyer from out of the country, all the way over in Israel, Margaret did everything she could to make it an easy transaction. I highly recommend Margaret. She’s knowledgeable, super friendly and very caring. You’ll be in good hands.

We have known and worked with Margaret for almost ten years. She is extremely knowledgeable, responsive and most important, very honest and trustworthy. Having worked in real estate myself, I know what to look out for and she has been amazing. She understands what you are looking for, is fantastic at finding great tenants for your property, knows the area and the market super well. I can highly recommend her!

If you are looking for a realtor to help you buy or sell a home, I highly recommend Margaret. This past Spring my daughters & I were planning to move from NC to Columbia County, when I called about a house Margaret had listed. Our contact over the next few days let me know she was the realtor I wanted to deal with. Margaret quickly returned my calls, and always went out of her way to find the information I asked for, plus anything else I might find helpful. I feel very confident that she is honest and hardworking. Over the weeks it took to get to closing, she worked hard making sure everything was completed on time. I’m happy to say, that our house already feels like home and Margaret has quickly become a good friend.

This was our third experience using John and Margaret Avenia, Columbia County Real Estate Specialists. Once to purchase a home and twice, and most recently to sell property. I would highly recommend giving John and Margaret a call! They are very knowledgeable with Columbia County and pricing in the ever changing real estate market. Our most recent sale was at the start of the pandemic and their professionalism throughout the process was second to none! Thank you John and Margaret for all your help in all of our RE transactions!

This was such a great experience from a buyer’s point of view. They did everything to make my wife and I comfortable regarding the selling process, helping alleviating any fears we had… We were kept up to date at every stage, always communicating with us while putting in place an action plan to sell our lovely home. I highly recommend this team of Realtors, very diligent, persistent, detailed, and easy to deal with!

Finding our first home involved much soul searching and reevaluating, but John always welcomed our new decisions and was genuinely focused on locating the right home for us. The buying process was made far less complicated by his suggestions and guidance. By the time we’d signed the closing papers, my husband and I counted John a friend.

We feel lucky to have found John! Besides his extensive knowledge of real estate, he was very patient about explaining our options and guiding us through the sale process.

Now that the dust has settled, we want to thank you very much for what seems to us to be above and beyond the call in settling our house. The enclosed check is to start or add to Emma’s college fund. By the time she reaches college it probably will pay for no more than two books.

John’s knowledge and expertise were invaluable to me in the process of finding and buying a house in Columbia County. As a first time home buyer and relative stranger to the area, I relied on John not only to show me the region, but also to help me make intelligent decisions regarding specific properties. We spent some long days looking and eventually found the perfect house for me. His guidance and assistance continued throughout the entire process – from making an offer all the way to the final closing and beyond. I simply could not have done this without him.
