100% we would use Rachel again! When a price dropped on a property we had been tracking online, I reached out to Rachel to represent us as a Buyer's Agent. We let her know we wanted to move fast to tour it. After we decided to make an offer, she educated us on what can happen with other bids, and some ways our offer could be more attractive and to our immense joy, the offer was accepted!! During the whole process of buying this home, Rachel was so professional from her demeanor to her electronic correspondence. We learned she is VERY smart and quick on her feet with this business. We had such a great experience with Rachel that 2 months later, we had her list two homes for us. She advised us how to make the most money from them and how to get them ready so they sell fast. One property would need renovation and one would not. Not knowing anything about what features would look best in the renovation, we turned to Rachel. She immediately knew what changes would work and what colors/finishes would highlight the house's features. We absolutely would not have pulled this off without her! Offers for both homes came in fast and the homes were not even on the market for a week (sold at asking price or above). I would like to stress that throughout the home buying and home selling process, that my husband and I often discussed how intelligent and likeable Rachel is! She knows this industry and we miss...

10/10 choice for selling our home. Terrence was able to navigate the complexities of a corporate relocation while managing to get us the best possible price for our home.

He first impressed us with his data-driven research to establish a list price. This went beyond the standard searches of homes in the area and delved deep into the nuances of our local neighborhood. He came with specific breakdowns of the comps and why he would price ours the way he wanted - which was $30k over what another realtor recommended.

His confidence in the local market, coupled with some great marketing (things like a design consultant to help us “stage” our home with our own things, excellent photographer for photos, etc) enabled us to get close to asking despite a rather sudden dip in the market around the same time.

Terrence was highly communicative, professional, and cared deeply about representing us to our best benefit. He helped us navigate a lowball offer, and then almost immediately a multiple offers situation with ease.

I would definitely recommend Terrence and Compass for anyone looking to sell (or...

I worked with Terence Barnes on two home purchases that I was extremely happy with. For some reason when it came time to sell my first home, I told him I thought I could get more money by cutting him out and selling straight to an investor to avoid paying commissions. Terence obviously disagreed, but he didn’t complain and instead offered to review the paperwork free of charge. He followed through on that and made sure that I wasn’t being taken advantage of in any way (other than the lowball price). Lucky for me, the investor backed out at the last minute. Terence then listed the home, got eight offers in the first week, and ended up making me so much more money than I would have gotten from the investor.

I’m convinced Terence and everyone I’ve dealt with at the HTX Group are working with my best interest in mind and are not just out to close a quick deal. They understand the long-term relationship is much...
