“Jennifer was professional, knowledgeable, and always responded to questions quickly. She attended most showings to ensure the property was secured after the showing. This was important because I moved out of state. Overall a good experience.”

“I couldn't ask for a better agent than Tammy McFarlin. Not being from the Tyler area I really appreciated her knowledge of the area. She also listened to my "must haves" and never showed me a property that didn't tick all the boxes. Even after I was under contract Tammy was only a text away to answer any questions or concerns I had. Altogether Tammy is the best realtor who I have ever dealt with in purchasing a home.”
