Testimonials

If putting a bid on the home you really want, winning the contract and getting everything you need after the home inspection were the same as the World Championship of Poker, Tonya Graves would win every year!

Nathan Kimsey

Hello Tonya,

I just wanted to check in with you and let you know that David and I love the house and appreciate all that you did for us during our search and negotiations.  When we tell people about our buying experience they are always very impressed with the contract terms that were agreed upon and the fact that you found us a contractor for the additions we were interested in (building is in progress right now) and the stove exchange (we love the induction range).  Thank you so much for all that you did for us, we truly appreciate you going above and beyond what was necessary.  If we come across anyone that is interested in buying a home in this area we will absolutely give them your information.

Sincerely,

Diane and David Montgomery

Tonya:

Your knowledge of the market, the neighborhoods and the entire home buying process was invaluable, enabling us to truly land in our dream home. Thank you Tonya!!!

“Tonya was wonderful to work with on the purchase of our second home in Columbia.  She is a true professional and was extremely helpful with her vast knowledge of the Columbia area.  Tonya provided great service throughout the entire process and continues to be a reliable resource after closing.  We would highly recommend Tonya for anyone looking for a true real estate professional!!!”

Tonya:

Thank you and congratulations.  What a great job you did. My sister and brother in law have been full of praise for you.

I am in Washington right now for the NAR MidYear Meetings with Congress, and have been deep in meetings yesterday and now today (since 7 am!)

I hope we can work together again. If you have anyone interested in Palm Beach/Jupiter area I'd happily send YOU a referral cheque!

Best Wishes,

Thanks for all your help Tonya. This has been a good experience and I think we really got a good house for a good price.  I don't know if you noticed that it apprased for $185,000 and the square footage on apprasial measurement was actually 1728 instead of 1690 so I think we got a good deal and you gave us some great advice.  Thanks for everything.

Tonya was very helpful in finding our dream home. Time and time again she would send us listings of houses that matched our requests and even included other homes we may be interested in. Moving from out of state, we had little knowledge of Columbia, SC. Tonya worked hard to show us houses in different locations and explain a little about each area. Tonya made the pressure of finding a house into a fun experience. She was honest, respectful, and caring of our needs. Though we have no plans to move anytime soon, when we do our only choice will be Tonya D. Graves.

We are so grateful,

Eric N. 

 You did a Great! job ! I would recommend you to anyone. You made every aspect of selling and buying a home easy. We are still on Cloud 9 and we tell everyone how wonderful YOU made the experience!


Hats off to you!!!

Willis, Lisa & Ann Blum 

Working with you was a great experience. You made time to show us homes after normal business hours, when it was most convienent to us. Our first home buying experience was great. You were there for us every step of the way, and if buying in this area again, you would be our first phone call.

Thank you,

Stevie Doucette

Thank you for providing fast, professional, and courteous service in my time of need. Before I began searching for homes I knew what I wanted but didn't have much luck finding it on my own. I was so confused. So many houses and so little time. So I decided to take a look at your website. I had no idea that you'd be contacting me momentarily. After all, I was just looking and didn't call or make any step towards contacting you first. Thanks for taking time out for me on weekends, after hours, and keeping me in the loop on every step you took each day. You brought an awesome deal to the table and I love my new home !!!! Keep making lives brighter. God Bless!

Jason Coleman

My husband and I just purchased our first home and we worked with Tonya D. Graves, with Exit Realty. Tonya made buying a house a fun and non stressful task. I really appreciated her upbeat attitude and her willingness to help us when we needed. Tonya made herself accessible to us whenever we needed her.  I would recommend Tonya to anyone in the market to buy a new house. She is very reliable, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with. 

Kaci & Marcus Herrington

Tonya was very helpful in helping me find the house that I had envisioned.  She was always patient and helpful despite my tough requirements for my new home.  She saw the process through from start to finish without missing a thing.  I cant thank her enough for all of her help.

Andy Kimber

Our relocation from Ohio to Columbia, S.C. has been a smooth transition thanks to your professionalism, guidance, and superior knowledge of the area and services.  We were so impressed with your follow through in every detail of our search and purchase.

Tonya helped us fulfill our dreams!  She was able to understand our needs and focus us in the right direction.  I believe Tonya's excellent negotiation, communication and organizational skills allowed us to close on time.  Her knowlege of the real estate business and the area's real estate market was a great asset to us! 

Hope Cross & Scott Chamberlin

When we met Tonya we had no idea she would take such good care of us.  She wasn’t focused on “the sale” she really cared about “us, our needs!” When things went a little crazy with the selling agent Tonya took the initiative and negotiated some great upgrades for us.  She really went above and beyond her responsibilities. Even after closing she continued to  help us until we were settled in.  She’s more than your realtor, she’s your friend.  That’s the kind of person you want helping you find your home.

Randy & Robin Knechtel

Tonya Graves is a dedicated Real Estate Professional!  We purchased our home in May 2009 after relocating from Kansas. Tonya worked diligently to ensure everything went flawlessly.  Tonya not only assisted us with finding the home of our dreams, but she answered and researched every question we had about our new home and residency in South Carolina. Thanks Tonya--you are not only our realtor, but a friend!

Pat and Christy Burns

Tonya I greatly appreciate all that you did with helping me find my dream home. You were always professional, knowledgeable, and very sweet. I didn’t think I would be a home owner this soon but thanks to you I AM!  I know I asked a lot of questions and called you a lot but I appreciate you answering all my questions. You are amazing and I would recommend you to any one who wants to purchase a house. Again thank you so much, you’re the best!

Tonya,

I had the most wonderful experience with you as my realtor. From the first phone call to me, through the closing date and beyond when I had questions about my new house. You took so much time with me and you went above and beyond when I had questions about my credit situation and you were very pro-active by introducing me to Ingrid Lee. The experience I had with you felt so much more personal that business like. I appreciate everything that you did for me and my family and you will always be considered a friend.

You Friend,
Tomeka Dabruce

Tonya,

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for all your hard work in finding us the perfect home. We couldn't be more happy with our home. Thanks again for all your hard work and diligence.

Regards,

Brendan and Courtney McDonald

I won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone who needs assistance in purchasing a house.

We highly encourage anyone interested in purchasing a home to contact Ms. Tonya Graves of EXIT Real Estate Consultants. She presented as an advocate for our interests, and was highly atttentive for both our big picture concerns and the inevitable minute details associated with buying a new home. Tonya provided us with sound guidance from the initial stages of selecting the right home, arranging us to meet with a financial representative (ask for Ingrid Lee of Resource Financial, she is excellent too!), the negotion process once we made an offer, the home inspection process, and the closing. We especially appreciated Tonya's availability. Since we are both working professionals, she was able to accommododate us on weekends and after normal work hours. I cannot emphasize enough how much I am pleased with our experience of working with Tonya Graves. If you have any questions or want more information about our experience, please feel free to e-mail us at hararipsych@aol.com.

"Tonya really understands clients who are relocating. She knows the entire area well, provides straightforward and honest feedback on various neighborhoods, and negotiates like a pit bull! She made herself available on our unusual hours, covered home inspections when we had a family emergency, and kept the buying process on track. I wholeheartedly recommend her services."   

I never really dealt with a realtor before and Tonya was personable and professional which helped to make buying the home a pleasant experience.  Tonya was extremely prompt in returning my phone calls and followed with us through the entire buying process.

I met Tonya D Graves when I was relocated to Columbia, SC area.  Tonya has become my real estate agent, and helped me find my new home.  Right from the beginning I knew I was in very good hands.  Her extensive knowledge of the Columbia area was extremely helpful.  Tonya is very focused and goal oriented.  She took the time to listen and learn my expectations for my new house, and was very diligent in narrowing down the search until we found the perfect house.  Tonya exhibits the highest level of professionalism, goes the extra mile for her clients, and makes the process of finding and buying a house very easy and enjoyable.  She takes care of everything from the start to the end.  Tonya is an exceptional realtor.  I found a great new house and a wonderful friend at the same time.  I highly recommend Tonya for your next real estate needs.  I guarantee you will be in great hands. 
 
Thank you Tonya for everything!
