“Victoria was recommended by a family member. I lived out of state and needed someone I could trust. I viewed some homes while in town but eventually bought a house after a video walk through. I had confidenance in Victoria that she knew what I was looking for and would not let me make the wrong decision. I would recommend Victoria.”
“We had an excellent experience working with Meldina. She helped us sell our home and also guided us through purchasing our new one, and she handled everything with patience, professionalism, and confidence. Her communication was always clear, she answered every question, and she made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and organized. Meldina truly goes above and beyond. She understands the market, she negotiates strongly on behalf of her clients, and she genuinely cares about what is best for your family. We always felt supported, informed, and treated with respect. We are very grateful for her hard work and dedication. We highly recommend Meldina to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is outstanding at what she does.”

“I highly recommend Robert Sidlauskas. His overall knowledge of the real estate market is exceptional. His professionalism, communication and attention to detail is second to none.”
“Dan was very professional throughout the entire process. He was knowledgeable about the neighborhood and broader trends and we were able to respond quickly to market conditions. Dan is very fair, honest, and trustworthy. He is also candid about the condition of the property but strives to get the most value possible for the seller out of the sale. He hired a professional photographer which helped with marketing the property and bringing out its best features. We would recommend Dan to our family and friends.”
“Donna was an incredible asset to our home search and purchase process. We are incredibly grateful for her and Harrison’s expertise and guidance. Their professionalism and attention to detail made the entire experience much smoother and more enjoyable. If you’re looking for an experienced and knowledgeable real estate agent, we highly recommend Donna and Harrison.”

“Katherine Rubis was outstanding in dealing with my needs. I was in Japan and did the entire process remotely. This was my first home purchase and she was very knowledgeable and made it very easy. She had all the support professionals (lawyers, insurance, and banking contacts) to make the entire process smooth and seamless. I would definately use her again and recommend her to anyone, especially if you are a first time homebuyer.”
“Katie Arensdorf was a delight. She was knowledgeable, caring and attentive. Katie immediately researched our property and appropriate comparable homes. Her recommendations were helpful, targeted and well thought out. She was engaged throughout the process and delivered exceptional results.”
“John was very professional and very helpful in answering any questions we had in the sale of our home. Thank you John”
“Gergana was outstanding from start to finish. She was straightforward, never sugarcoating, and always on point with her suggestions. From the beginning, she came prepared with a clear plan and executed it flawlessly. I was initially worried about listing the house in January, but thanks to Gergana’s expertise and guidance, we were under contract in less than three days, and we received more than our asking price. Her advice was spot-on, and we’re so glad we followed it. We couldn’t be happier with the results and the smooth experience. If we ever need to sell a house again in the future, Gergana will be our first call. Highly recommended!”
“Thank you Tina it was a pleasure working with you”

“Barb provided exceptional service throughout my home-buying experience. She demonstrated professionalism, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to ensuring a smooth process from start to finish. I am grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and reliable real estate agent.”
“Cinny helped us sell and buy a condo at the same time and the whole experience was so smooth. From helping us list our place, going to showings with us, and answering all our concerns, I don’t know how she did it all but she was there for us. We were able to do both the selling and buying within 3 months which still amazes me how quick and easy she made this process. She was proactive in finding places and booking showings that work around our schedule. And what I really love is how well she understood what my partner and I were looking for in a home. We ended up buying the place she had suggested for us. Originally this place was not on our radar but she highly recommended us to check it out and we’re so glad we did. We’re so happy with new home and this could not have been done without Cinny!”

“Nancy Silwa is an experienced realtor who knows her profession. She knows, and in fact lives in the area, where I was selling my house. This was a bonus as she really had a handle on the market. She walked with me every step of the way so that I understood the process. I was selling a home I had lived in for 43 years. Nancy understood the emotional impact of this decision and gently helped me stay focused on the task at hand: sell the house. She found the perfect buyers. A young couple who will make my house their home. Knowing this made selling my home a little easier. I would and indeed have recommended Nancy to others. She is simply THE BEST!”
“I can’t recommend Emir highly enough! From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He truly had my best interests at heart and made the entire buying process smooth and stress-free. His attention to detail and dedication went above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone who knows the market and actually cares about their clients, Emir is the one!”
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Effingham real estate market, updated for November 2025. *
The typical home value in Effingham is projected to be $208,130 for the month of October. September’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $210,500—down 4.32% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $200,000 in Effingham County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $192,380 in October.
Effingham had 15 new listings and 17 listings that went under contract in September, increasing the area’s total available inventory to 32—up 14.29% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further increased in October.
Of those 32 active listings, 43.75% reduced their price in the month of September. The median listing price for homes in Effingham grew 46.15% from August to September, bringing the current median listing price to $244,000. Based on projected data for October, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract rose sharply year-over-year. In September 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 48 days, compared to -39 days in September 2024. However, in recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be falling. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this October.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
