Keller Williams Intown Atlanta

This is in response to Heather M.‘s review below. Her whole review is totally false. Sure she owned the home in the manner of her name being on the mortgage, but had not paid toward the mortgage of that home or any other repairs, maintenance or upkeep of the home for over 7 years. Neither Keller Williams nor Morgan Whittemore had any wrong doing in the involvement of this home. This is simply a review from a vindictive, spiteful and angry person.

This is a review of a specific realtor, Morgan Whittemore, not of the agency itself. Ms. Whittemore, formerly of Palmer House Properties in Atlanta, is not a realtor I would ever recommend.
I own a home with another person who is friends with Ms. Whittemore. Ms. Whittemore agreed to rent our home without my knowledge or consent. When I found out about this and contacted Ms. Whittemore about this she said she did not know the home was not solely owned. She then said she contacted the co-​owner and the agreement was cancelled.
However, I found out later that though the contract entered through Palmer House Properties was cancelled Ms. Whittemore assisted the co-​owner in deceiving me by helping her draw up an agreement on her own and she was paid her commission. This could possibly be the reason she is no longer at PHP.
I highly recommend that if you’re considering utilizing her as a realtor you reconsider. Ms. Whittemore is unethical or incompetent at best, either way she is not trustworthy.
Unilocal will not allow you to not give any stars which is why there is one. Otherwise, I would ask to have negative stars!

After finding a property online, I e-​mailed the listed address with a request to tour. This was apparently the office manager’s address. She e-​mailed me that the date for the showing was a good, and I immediately responded with a time (she didn’t provide this). The next morning (day of the showing), she e-​mailed me back saying that the entire day was not available, and I would need to wait until the next week.
I asked if there was another agent available to show the property, because I would be traveling and unavailable between 1pm-4:30pm (her new proposed time) during the week. She replied with a short e-​mail saying the following: «NO! Not today! Sorry!»
I understand that she may be busy, but her e-​mail etiquette was very unprofessional. In the tech 2013, she officially came off as a bitch.
I would suggest that you call the office or your agent directly, because the customer service from the administrative staff is lacking.

«After many trials and tribulations, emails, phone calls, faxes, offers that fell through, vandalism and a subsequent necessary price drop, lock replacements (did I mention we no longer even lived in Georgia at the time, so he was doing this all long-​distance for us?) and bank rejections, Chris worked and worked and worked. He ended up finally got the banks to tell us the number they needed to make the final offer go through and go through it did. This guy worked his ass off to get our house sold — and for no great profit to himself when all was said and done, might I add — and we will always be grateful. There were times when I thought it would never happen, but Chris made it evident to me that he knew our house could and would sell — he was endlessly positive and helpful throughout the process, which was just what I needed in an otherwise disheartening situation.» It sounds like you found a wonderful realtor. I wish I could be so lucky in the atlanta real estate market. I want to buy at the
but so far I haven’t found a realtor who has been able to help me close the deal. Congratulations on the wonderful help that you’ve received.

I think this office is chock full of exceptional folks, but I came here to talk about our totally f-​ing awesome Realtor, Chris Yates.
Chris is a CDPE (which means Certified Distressed Property Expert) Realtor, which is quite a boon to tack on to your credentials in a market like we’re currently going through! He was referred to us by another agent who knew he had the knowledge and persistence to get our place sold. We had literally been trying to sell our home for years and had finally ended up in a short sale situation. But Chris didn’t blanch at the challenge; he dove right in with his recommendations of how to handle the situation, got in contact with our mortgage companies (yes, plural; we had a 2^nd mortgage that also had to be dealt with) and began his marketing voodoo.
After many trials and tribulations, emails, phone calls, faxes, offers that fell through, vandalism and a subsequent necessary price drop, lock replacements (did I mention we no longer even lived in Georgia at the time, so he was doing this all long-​distance for us?) and bank rejections, Chris worked and worked and worked. He ended up finally got the banks to tell us the number they needed to make the final offer go through and go through it did.

If you need to sell a house in/​around Atlanta, this pony is the one to place your bet on. I can’t say enough good about the work ethic and attitude of Chris Yates, but I know we could not have sold our sad old house with anyone else. Thank you, Chris!

This review isn’t so much about Keller Williams (I haven’t had any experience with them) as it is about Gabriel Dean, who works out of this office.
When DH and I started looking for a house, I originally planned to go with a realtor a close friend recommended, but it turned out said realtor changed careers. She recommended Gabriel, as she had interacted with him a bit, and when I called Traci’s (the original realtor) office, I got kind of a stuffy old man, which I wasn’t really looking for in a realtor.
I talked with Gabriel over the phone, and then came into this office for a meeting, and was immediately sold on him.
Gabriel has been nothing short of fantastic. He found us an adorable house inside the Perimeter well within our price range — and unlike most realtors, although he knew the top of our price range, he didn’t constantly try to sell us houses at the top of ours. He is an extremely patient, nice guy. And his wife is absolutely hilarious — she went house hunting a lot with us. Having a realtor who doesn’t annoy you I think is extremely important, since we looked at a lot of houses and spend a lot of time interacting.
He has been a great advocate, and managed to get the seller to cover all our closing closts, PLUS all new stainless steel kitchen appliances (although we have also just been fortunate that the seller has been very easy to work with). We had some worries about the foundation, and he gave us all our different options, and even though we went a different way, he was not rude and very supportive of it.
Overall, I could not be more pleased about signing our lives away (on July 29^th!!!). When we sell up eventually, I know we will be going back to him.

Two words: Abbie Shepherd
So here’s the thing (to kinda quote Bianca):
My lovely wife and I (living in Cumming) are SICK of driving down to Atlanta every time we want to do anything. Seeing the real estate bargains, we decide to take the plunge.
Meeting Abbey, a fellow Georgia Tech grad, was a godsend. She totally gets it.
Figure this:
1) I’m self employed
2) I’m not selling my current house yet
3) Credit and real estate markets are melting down
4) She has to meld and have brain linkages with the über frau
100% satisfaction across the board.
She’s smart, cool, hip, and understands how to work with busy people without being pushy and obnoxious.
I TOTALLY recommend her!
