Fantastic experience: Excellent company! Moved from Florida to Georgia in January. Meg Anderson, my realtor, was truly outstanding in securing the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood for me. So happy! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Definitely 5 big stars! Meg was incredibly friendly, professional and accessible. No matter what we asked of her she went out of her way to accommodate us. She worked around our schedule for multiple properties till we found the perfect home for us. She made the home buying experience a pleasure and we would recommend her to anyone buying a home

Fantastic experience: Meg was so attentive and accessible. If she didn’t answer the phone she called back immediately. Meg made our home buying experience smooth and easy, especially considering we moved across states. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and all she did to make it happen!!

Fantastic experience: Margie Couvillon is “Simply the Best”. She was amazing in helping me find the perfect home. She is kind, very knowledgeable, and a great sounding board

Negative experience: Personal opinion: I do not recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Kindle and Meg were an absolute pleasure to work with from the other side of the table. Their professionalism, expertise, and integrity made the entire transaction smooth and enjoyable. They consistently communicated well, advocated for their clients, and handled every detail with care. You would be doing yourself a disservice not to use them for your real estate transaction.

Fantastic experience: Great personality and very efficient. It was a privilege to work with Kindle

Fantastic experience: We put our house up for sale and used Kindle Bales as our listing agent. She is a long term friend and we initially put our trust in her based on that fact and the reputation of Candler Real Estate. Now, after selling our home and purchasing another, I can 100% say I would recommend Kindle to anyone. She was professional, honest, communicative, and helpful throughout the whole process. I was impressed by her real estate knowledge, but if there was ever a question she did not know, she would get us an answer as soon as possible. If you are a first or second time home buyer trying to find your perfect fit or transition, definitely have a conversation with Kindle and let her tell you about the benefits Candler can offer. This is where we started, and I am so glad we did!

Fantastic experience: We have had the pleasure of knowing Kindle for a little over 4 years. In that time she’s helped us through the buying and selling process 3 times. There is no one more dedicated to making your experience smooth and easy! She’s not just our agent she is like family to us ❤️

Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of working with Heather and Kindle on the sale of two houses in Gainesville. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond assisting us. They kept us well informed throughout the entire process. We strongly recommend this exceptional team for all of your real estate needs!

Fantastic experience: We have bought and sold multiple houses with Bev and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She is incredibly knowledgable of the area and we wholeheartedly knew we could trust her advice and expertise. She will go the extra mile for any client, supporting you and working for your best interest. Bev is realtor turned friend for us and we are so thankful to have gotten to work with her over the years. We have recommended her to many friends that have moved in the area and each one has had a wonderful experience with her also.

Fantastic experience: Margie Couvillon was our agent. She was great. Took us around to several potential homes all in one day. Once we decided and made an offer Margie was always available to meet and also to answer questions promptly. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: We had an amazing experience working with Beverly. From the very beginning, she truly took the time to understand what we were looking for and helped us find a home that not only fit our needs but also had the character we were looking for! She was incredibly patient throughout the entire process, always personable, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. Beverly guided us through every step, explained things clearly, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. We’re so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring real estate agent!!!

Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience working with Beverly to sell our home. From the very beginning, she was knowledgeable, professional, and extremely responsive.

If you’re looking for a realtor who truly works in your best interest, I highly recommend Beverly (Candler Real Estate).

Fantastic experience: Candler Real Estate are the consummate professionals in commercial and residential Real estate in Gainesville and Hall Co. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Kindle was so great at understanding our needs as the sellers, keeping us updated on progress, and getting us as much as possible for our home. We trusted her advice and knew she had our best interests in mind. This market has been tough for sellers and we’re just so pleased with how things turned out. We would recommend Kindle to everyone and will continue using her as our realtor in the future!

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Candler Real Estate and Margie Couvillon. I've known Margie for over 40 years, and she is a person of high integrity and great personal skills. She knows the area very well and does a great job of listening to her clients and serving their needs. We were very particular in what we were looking for in a home, and Margie was patient and collaborative throughout the process. I would recommend Margie and Candler to anyone I know. It was a great experience and we could not be happier with our new home!

Fantastic experience: My experience with Meg Anderson & Margie Couvillon was 5 star. They were there for me and assisted all the way through for a successful purchase!

Fantastic experience: Beverly did a fantastic job of finding us our dream home! As first-time homebuyers, we had very little knowledge on the homebuying process. Beverly did a wonderful job anwsering all of our questions (which there were a lot). Beverly also did a great job of explaining the whole process and what every little detail on all the paperwork meant. She had recommendations on people to use throughout the process such as inspectors, ect, which as first-time homebuyers, was a huge help. She made the whole process very easy as well. She made sure to keep us updated on everything that was happening, the moment it happened. Communication back and forth was painless and quick. Beverly also stayed on top of making sure that everything was submitted in a timely manner. If we needed something from the sellers, she would make sure it was sent over quickly. I would highly recommend that anyone looking to purchase a home to give Beverly a call!

Negative experience: not nice at all, if I could give 0 i would

Fantastic experience: Stephanie was an amazing realtor. She spent many hours and weekends with my husband and me, as well as our daughter, helping us find the perfect homes. She is great about answering questions promptly and even did video tours for us when were not able to make the 5 hour drive down. We began to think of her more as a friend than our realtor. I highly recommend Stephanie if you want a realtor who is friendly, knowledgeable and works very hard for you.

Fantastic experience: Kindle was amazing! She made our first time buying a house a breeze! She kept us informed and updated the whole way through. She has even helped us with a few things after we have already closed and moved in! We could not have done this without her!

Fantastic experience: Brandi and Meg sold our land in N Georgia. They were able to navigate us through entire process without any issues, and we never left our Florida home! This pair is definitely the dynamic duo in real estate. Highly recommend for all your real estate needs.

Fantastic experience: Meg was very friendly, personable and professional. She used high quality photos of my house to promite the selling of my home.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the pleasure of working with Meg on selling a home, and she is absolutely amazing. She is so good at what she does. More than a great realtor, Meg is a genuinely good person, and that means everything to me. She brings light, warmth, and heart into every step of the process. Our working relationship turned into a friendship I’m still so thankful for. A big thank you also to her broker, Candler, who was equally fantastic. Together, they’re a team you can trust. At the end of the day, it’s best to work with people where you genuinely wish the best for each other—and that’s exactly what I found with Meg.

Fantastic experience: ✅ Friendly & Enthusiastic ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So glad we chose Beverly Filson to sell our home! She made the whole process feel easy and even fun. Beverly was always available, kept us in the loop, and gave great advice every step of the way. We felt completely supported from start to finish. We had the pleasure of working with Beverly and Heather…the entire team is phenomenal. If you’re looking for someone who really cares about her clients, Beverly is the one!

Fantastic experience: Beverly Filson and Heather did a wonderful job selling our house. The first people that looked at our house actually bought it (most-likely because I followed through with Beverly’s suggestions before listing our house). I couldn’t imagine doing all of the paperwork without them. Everything was seamless and I couldn’t have been happier with the process. Thanks ladies! You’re amazing!

Fantastic experience: Working with Kindle was an absolute pleasure! From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly dedicated to helping me buying my first property. Her attention to detail, market expertise, and genuine care made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Kindle went above and beyond to ensure we felt informed and confident every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Fantastic experience: We had a challenging vacant land to sell and were very impressed with Kindle! She was professional, extremely communicative and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her for any Real Estate Matters. Thank you Kindle for all your hard work on a challenging property! We will absolutely recommend and use Kindle for any future business.

Fantastic experience: Margie was great! She was extremely knowledgeable and took all the work before closing off of us! She makes searching for the perfect home fun and seamless! Highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!

Fantastic experience: Working with Stephanie was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We had a very specific dream in mind — finding the perfect piece of land on Lake Lanier with a dock where we could eventually build a retirement home — and she stuck with us for over a year to make it a reality. Throughout the entire process, Stephanie was incredibly kind, patient, and professional. She never made us feel rushed, always listened to what we wanted, and consistently went above and beyond to help us explore many options. When we finally found the property, she was quick to act and made sure everything moved smoothly. Her responsiveness and attention to detail gave us so much peace of mind. We truly couldn't have asked for a better partner in this journey. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and will be with you every step of the way, we highly recommend Stephanie.

Fantastic experience: Kindle Bales was the best realtor we could ask for! My husband and I have been looking for a house for a year and Kindle was right there with us the whole way. She showed us homes quickly as they came on the market, helped us narrow down our wants/needs, and was very knowledgeable about each listing! Being first time home buyers in this market was very scary, but Kindle listened to all of our concerns, encouraged us, and made things seamless the whole way. The team at Candler was all around phenomenal, answering our countless questions and guiding us through the home buying process. They supported us from looking at listings and making offers to finally closing on our beautiful new home! We could not be happier with choosing Kindle and the Candler team to help us find our first home, and highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I had a great experience with Kindle! We’re moving to the area from across the country and she made sure we got every detail we asked for. She always has a great attitude and stuck with us, even when we weren’t sure if the move was still happening. Thanks again, Kindle!

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things!! We worked with Stephanie and she made selling my house an absolute breeze. She handled any issues that came up and made this process absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend and will be working with Stephanie again soon.

Fantastic experience: We had a very positive experience with Candler Real Estate. Our agent, Beverly Filson, is very good at what she does, and is overall just a lovely person. Not only is she knowledgeable about the market, houses, and considerations when buying a home, but she is also very perceptive of what her clients want. She educated us so much on what we should think about when buying a home, what traps we can fall into, what features we should consider to retain resale value, and what being in a certain market does to your options. She was incredibly patient as we went through the emotions of being in a tough market, and in the kindest way, she told us things that we needed to hear, even if we didn’t want to. She could tell within the first few steps of us walking into a house whether we were going to like it or not. We didn’t waste time if we obviously weren’t interested, and we workshopped possibilities when we needed to use a bit of imagination. She was always available. Being in the area for a long time, she’s very knowledgeable and resourceful for all kinds of things like schools, daycares, contractors, etc, etc. She’s a great negotiator and will do everything she can in the best interests of her client. She was so energetic and positive, and as grueling as a house-hunting process can be, she kept it light and fun. In a weird way, we miss those little outings we would take to look at houses. We did get into a lovely home and although we are grateful to Beverly for that, we are the most thankful for her continued friendship.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I worked with Margie to purchase our house, and the process was great! Margie is such a fantastic combination of friendly, knowledgable and professional- she made the whole thing so smooth and painless. With messaging and calls, she was incredibly responsive, and if she didn't have the answers to our questions, she'd find them. If we ever wanted to buy or sell again, we would definitely be calling Candler and Margie again! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone needing to buy or sell a house.

Fantastic experience: Our family had the best experience selling our house with Brandi Barber! She is professional, organized, and has excellent follow through skills. She guided us flawlessly through listing, negotiations and closing. Not only did Brandi sell our house in only a few days, but she got us OVER asking. I would definitely use Brandi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great real estate agent!

Fantastic experience: We couldn't be happier with our experience with Candler Real Estate. Our agent, Beverly Filson, was incredibly professional and took the time to get to know us personally, making our family feel comfortable in a new town. Throughout our home-buying endeavors, I felt that we had a true real estate advocate and we ended up getting our perfect home. I would recommend Beverly and the rest of her team in a heartbeat. Thanks Bev!

Fantastic experience: Beverly Filson is awesome! She was my realtor and did an amazing job helping me find a house. She knows the area well and loves Gainesville. Working with Candler was great- very professional and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Stephanie was absolutely amazing. This was our first time buying a house and she always made time for us and made us feel like we were so important. Everything went so smoothly and the communication was awesome. Now we are in a house that’s even better than what we hoped for!

Fantastic experience: Relocated from Iowa to Georgia. Meg Anderson and Margie Couvillon drove me all over Hall, Habersham, Jackson, and Banks county looking for the perfect home for my family. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to research items to help you make a choice. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Candler Real Estate. Their market knowledge is exceptional and their communication was great. I would highly recommend using Candler Real Estate.

Fantastic experience: Margie Couvillon was recommended to our family by close friends in town. We recently relocated to Gainesville from out-of-state. She went out of her way to make us feel at home during our housing search. The entire process was exciting and as minimally stressful as possible because of Margie. She consistently communicated with us about both upcoming listings and off-market houses. She found the perfect home for our family. The closing process was so smooth and easy for us; Margie deserves all the credit for this. Being from Gainesville herself, Margie is familiar with all the neighborhoods in the area. Her knowledge of the town is unbeatable. We would highly recommend Margie to assist in finding a house for you or a loved one. She is wonderful and we are so thankful to have worked with her. We’re lucky to now call her a friend.

Fantastic experience: Working with Bev Filson was an absolute pleasure! From the very beginning, she took the time to listen to our wants and needs, ensuring that every property she showed us met our criteria. Bev made the home buying process so easy and simple, always going above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Her dedication and expertise were evident at every step, and I truly can’t speak highly enough of her. She consistently exceeded our expectations, making us feel confident and well-supported throughout the entire journey. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her clients, look no further. Bev is amazing and highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Meg was absolutely one of the best realtors that I have ever worked with. She kept up on all of the trends, was always there for advice, and I truly believe that the price that I got out of my home and the timing was a direct result of her professionalism. I had 40 showings in two days and another 100 people that came through the open house of the third day. I received 5 offers and above asking price and signed a contract in 3 days. The process from start to finish was professional, and as stress free as possible. I strongly recommend Meg as a listing agent, and am sure that she would be as strong as a buyers agent.

Fantastic experience: We loved working with Meg to find our first home. As first time home buyers, Meg was so helpful walking us through each step of the process. She took time to find properties that met what we were looking for, and we found our perfect home!

Fantastic experience: Meg Anderson did a great job of representing me and my interests while helping me find my new home. She did all the leg work required take the purchase as easy and stress free as possible

Fantastic experience: Meg Anderson did an excellent job with the selling and purchasing of our new home. We were able to negotiate a good price for both houses, close quickly and move into our forever home on Lake Hartwell. Meg is knowledgeable about all the processes and will guide you in the right direction. If this is your first or tenth home, Meg is the agent for you!

Fantastic experience: Heather and Beverly were so great. We were blessed to have them helping us buying our first house. They were above and beyond. We highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend Stephanie McNair as your Candler Real Estate Agent! I recently worked with Stephanie in my first home buying experience and it was a very enjoyable one! I want to start by saying how kind and thoughtful of a person Stephanie is, you can tell she genuinely cares about helping you find the right home. I was referred to Stephanie through the mortgage broker I worked with. Stephanie is dependable, knowledgeable, and prompt in her work, she is professional and communicates and advocates for you! I felt like she was very thorough but also quick in her searching and timing. I could tell she was working hard for us, to make sure we got what we wanted. She makes great negotiations and helps you get the best of the best! She helped make the entire process smooth and understandable and was there for me whenever I needed her, she answered all the questions I had and walked me through each step of the process. I believe she goes above and beyond to provide a great home buying experience! Her work meant so much in helping me buy my first home and I am extremely grateful to her for that!

Fantastic experience: Brandi Barber was an outstanding agent to deal with. She met with us on day one and led us through the process with such ease. We had some negation issues that she handled with a buyer agent that was tough to deal with yet we felt that we came out on the winning end. Through the entire process (which is never easy) she remained professional and assisted us with some tough decisions and always remained very level minded when we were stressed out. She calmed us down and made this much easier than we expected. She is the best!!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend using Candler as your realtor! We have used Meg Anderson for all of the houses we have purchased and she is the absolute best! She understands your needs, does great research, is super quick, reliable, and very kind. She would be a great fit for anyone in the market!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough amazing things about my most recent purchase with Meg Anderson. This marks our 4th property together and every time I'm blown away by the service. She helped us get 30k of the asking price when we were prepared to pay asking. From start to finish Meg Anderson is world class Realtor. 5 stars!!!

Fantastic experience: Meg Anderson is the Best Real Estate Agent to have!! What a gem of a find for my Husband and I !!! She went out of her way to accommodate us for months looking for the perfect home 5 1/2 years ago as we needed a secondary home in Georgia while my husband worked there!! She would even pick me up and drive me around to look for homes through which we developed the sweetest friendship!! We found the perfect home in Dacula!! So about 6 weeks ago it was time to sell our home and move back to Tennessee full time. Meg was with us every step of the way handling everything for us with the quick sell of our home!!

Forever grateful for Meg and her team at Candler Real Estate!! She will forever be our FRIEND!! Thanks again Meg for all you do!!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with LeAnne Richardson at Candler Real Estate. She was up front and honest from the very beginning, and promptly did everything she said she would do. She was always available for my MANY questions, no matter what time of day I asked, and protected my interest through the entire process of selling my home. LeAnne will be my agent for as long as she is in the business!!!!

Fantastic experience: Moving from KS to GA. Meg Anderson was highly recommended. All it took was one phone call, from there Meg made us feel like family. Traveling from out of town, Meg made sure what we were looking for in a home was all setup in our short timeframe. Within 3 days we found our home in GA. From the first step through signing documents on our home Meg was with us every step. We would 100% recommend Meg Anderson!! Thank you Meg for finding our Home!!

Fantastic experience: Dealing with Margaret was a most pleasant experience. She is kind, patient, professional and I highly recommend her for all your real estate needs.

Fantastic experience: Jon Elliott was very patient and made every effort to accommodate our schedule to view potential homes. His due-diligence and follow up when working through challenges was excellent and very appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Stephanie was a great realtor, continuing to find possible homes and displaying great patience with a picky client.

Fantastic experience: LeAnne did an incredible job in helping us research and purchase a parcel of land in beautiful North Georgia. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine concern for helping us find the perfect lot was beyond reproach. Initially, we were looking at a different property but with LeAnne's careful guidance, we avoided making a mistake and instead found a piece of land that is perfect for us. LeAnne also helped us wade through all the details and her prompt responsiveness to our questions and concerns helped us gain peace of mind as we made our buying decisions. We would certainly engage LeAnne's help again in buying and selling real estate!

Fantastic experience: Beverly Filson is the best. Professional, knowledgeable, responsive and patient. That would be enough for the 5 star review, but she is also empathetic and understanding and willing to move at your pace.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this real estate firm! Our realtor, Margie Couvillon, made our home buying process as smooth and easy as possible. Her personal years of expertise, combined with the experience of Candler's broker and other support staff, is invaluable. The communication was top-notch consistent and we felt heard and understood. Any questions we had were answered promptly and Margie looked out for our best interests. We will definitely be hiring her again in any future endeavors and recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, especially in this sellers' market.

Fantastic experience: We recently had the pleasure of working with Margie to purchase our home. From start to finish, she was wonderful! Margie was knowledgable about the area. She was flexible with showings and responsive to all of our questions. From looking at properties, to negotiations, to closing on our dream home, Margie was excellent every step of the way!

I trust them & know they are always looking out for my best interests. Both work hard with professionalism & class. I would recommend to anyone that wants to buy or sell a home!

Fantastic experience: Beverly was recommended to us by a friend, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with that recommendation. We are new to the area, and this is our first home. Our families are both multiple states away so it felt like we were in this process alone. Beverly was like a mom, a therapist, a friend, and a realtor all in one. She was genuine, experienced, and always went above and beyond for us. She always made herself available and shared with us some of her personal life experiences with moving to the Gainesville area. We can’t speak highly enough of the kindness and hard work Beverly gave us, and we look forward to staying touch with her and using her again in the future if we ever need a realtor.

Fantastic experience: Beverly Filson has a way about her that puts you at ease immediately, and you quickly realize that she is investing in relationships as she conducts business in the world of real estate. We recently made the difficult decision to leave our home of 20 years and downsize. Beverly helped to guide us through this process and, with her help, we ended up buying a home that we absolutely love! She is an expert in her field and provided sound advice as well as emotional backup with our trepidation about the “big move”. Her guidance kept us on track and on task and we couldn’t be happier now that we are in our new home. As my husband said, “We didn’t know Beverly at all, other than her good reputation. We would now consider her a friend, because she always had our best interests at heart.”

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Beverly Filson and David Griffin at Candler Real Estate enough! Their tenured experience in Gainesville, along with their friendly and helpful demeanors makes them incredibly easy to work with! They found us a house quickly, and did all of the heavy lifting for our buy! Truly a one stop shop. We had the most confidence in their team and they absolutely delivered!

Fantastic experience: Beverly was amazing!! She helped us feel at ease reminding us she was working for us whenever we had worries. She went the extra mile to secure builder consults, recommendations, and addressing areas of our concerns. We felt completely confident that she would have our backs during the process. I cannot recommend her highly enough. It’s like we have not just gained a professional contact but also found a new friend!

Positive experience: They seem to have nice homes at more reasonable prices. However I am looking for renting not buying.

Negative experience: Not too nice
