Fantastic experience: Jake did a great job with the sell of our property. He was informative about what was going on and stayed in constant contact with us throughout the process.

Fantastic experience: Jake and his group are Excellent. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Jake and his team went above and beyond to sell our home!! Jake was my fiancé's high school football coach and knows the area like the back of his hand! His team professionally cleaned and staged our home and answered every single question along the way! Jake is not pushy - but he is very on top of every detail! His knowledge and expertise of the entire process put us at ease! If we ever sell our home again, he will be our first call!!

Fantastic experience: **Working with Jake Willingham was a fantastic experience from start to finish.** Jake is highly regarded in our local community for his knowledge, responsiveness, and professionalism, and since my wife knew him through her work in education, it was an obvious choice to enlist his services. Jake took the time to understand our goals and overall situation, including our preferred timelines and financial needs. He presented detailed market analysis through charts and graphs—admittedly, a bit overwhelming at first—but these helped us understand different pricing strategies based on various scenarios. Jake and his team went above and beyond with home preparation. After 16 years with three kids, our home showed signs of wear and tear. Jake provided strategic recommendations on which repairs to prioritize for the best value for our money. He also brought in an excellent stager and photographer, and in addition to the beautiful interior and exterior shots, he used a drone to capture the unique features of our property. Since our backyard bordered some farmland, the aerial drone shots emphasized the rural ambiance that the farm contributed to. The listing Jake created exceeded our already high expectations. With professional photos and the aerial drone shot, our home was presented like a luxury property. It was featured on top real estate sites like Zillow and MLS, drawing in serious buyers. I believe social media, particularly Facebook, was also utilized to further promote the listing. Jake and Keller Williams were exceptional in managing showings and providing feedback. After each viewing, they gave us detailed insights into what buyers liked and any concerns they had. Some team members even volunteered to hold open houses, which went above and beyond our expectations. The open house process was highly dynamic and responsive, allowing us to adjust strategies quickly based on feedback, which I believe played a significant role in our home selling swiftly at our target price. When offers arrived, Jake skillfully sorted through them, identifying those that met our criteria. His negotiation expertise ensured favorable terms and a swift closing, crucial since we were moving out of the area with a specific closing date in mind. Notably, when the buyer's inspector found a potential root intrusion in the septic line, Jake guided us through interactions with city officials and a plumber to resolve the issue. It turned out the problem was on city property, so we were not responsible for the repairs, saving us from a $10,000 concession. The closing was seamless, with every detail meticulously handled, resulting in a pleasant surprise: the funds were transferred on the very day of closing.

Fantastic experience: So grateful for the professional guidance that Jake and his team provided in selling my rental property. Because of his knowledge and experience the process was quick and smooth. Jake is the best!

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Jake, Emily, and the rest of the Willingham group. We had a distressed sale of an estate home and it was an ugly project.

Fantastic experience: We appreciated that Jake provided us with various options for selling our house given some unique circumstances. He was both professional and personable and was there whenever we needed to discuss anything. We were very satisfied with the results and highly recommend Jake and his agency.

Fantastic experience: First time selling a house and can't say enough about how helpful and honest Jake was during the whole process.

Fantastic experience: Jake & Emily were nothing short of professional, outstanding, & over achievers.

Not too many people in this day & age hold to their word & the Willingham Group did that! No wonder they have so many awards, which they don’t like to show off too much or talk about but they should! They have gotten these awards for clear & obvious reasons & it shows once you get to work with them. They even do so much as meet new clients in the area & treat both of you with the upmost respect. They were approach by my neighbor at our open house & we told her how amazing Jake & Emily were & she said well that’s all I need to hear. That’s truly all you need to hear about these folks.

Fantastic experience: Incredible work by the Willingham Team!!! Very knowledgeable and committed to their clients. I have done 100’s of real estate transactions and The Willingham Group has by far been the best to work with. Will continue to use them on all deals going forward. #nobrainer

Negative experience: Jake please don't try to save face your little dumb replay, I put then 1 star as that was the least i could do without a comment , but your response is just to make you look like you "care", but cleanly your not one who feels there "word is there cred", and after your numerous unkempt commitments starting from day one when you missed 2 appointments too not contacting my neighbor after you said you would to your last so non professional 3 day termination notice vs 30 days I would say the reason I did not get any offer through the finish line is because you don't take ownership on anything. so take ownership for once and say you could have done better job. Perhaps you could have said "Ron I might not be the best fit for you but i have someone who can take you over the line".. but no you just leave people in the dark and stranded, Well Jake I invite anybody doing any research on you as a real- estate agent feel free to ask me any questions. Otherwise with your "feel good let me make a comment" I.E like i did the best and good luck, well you didn't and shame on you.

Fantastic experience: Jake is a top-notch realtor. He listens to your needs and tries to find properties that are a good match.
