Dedra and Larry helped me sell my house in record time. On the first day we had two offers! Their professional advice helped me all the way through the process of getting the house ready to put on the market, and made it feel like it was easy. If there was a ratimg higher than 5, they deserve it!

100% recommend! Taylor Ross is a beyond incredible realtor to work with. She went out of her way for us so many times. From viewing properties for us by herself and taking my parents to view them (we lived in New Mexico and couldnt make it into town), her precise and prompt communication, explaining every part of the process to us since we were new homeowners, and doing anything and everything to make this process extremely smooth! Shes amazing. Getting documentation completed, making decisions, and closing was so simple and stress-free because of Taylor and all her hard work.
Her team is awesome including the cleaners who did such a fantastic job on getting our home ready for us to move in! My husband and I are so grateful for Taylor for all the hard work she dedicated to finding us our perfect first home! If youre looking for the perfect real estate group and agent to find your dream home, Mercer Hughes and Taylor are it!

Larry Mercer was an awesome realtor! He made his schedule extremely flexible for me, and he was able to show me all around Valdosta the weekend I visited. Even while I was not present in Valdosta, he was able to facetime me other houses I was interested in. He is extremely honest in his evaluation of houses and really looks out for your best interests. I would recommend him to anyone moving to the area.

We just used Larry Mercer for the second time and could not be happier with the results. He is by far the best agent we have ever used and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Larry Mercer sold our home for us. His knowledge of the market and of the local area, meant that he got great offers for us. We appreciated his attentiveness to our family's needs as we sold our home.

If you are looking for a realtor group. This is your one stop shop! Buying and selling with Larry Mercer, was and is the easiest investment I have ever done. I can't even count for the amount of times I say in a day "Just call Larry, he'll know the answer". I highly recommend him and his company to anyone looking to buy their perfect home or investment property. I promise you, you will not regret it!

Using Larry Mercer to sell any property is a no brainer. He is always on top of all facets of the transaction. Using anyone else in the Valdosta area would be a mistake! Extremely knowledgeable and helpful through all phases of the real estate transaction. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Larry Mercer helped us sell our house in Lake Park. We live in Oklahoma, so we could not do any of the work needed to get the house ready. Larry did it all! He kept us up to date on the process and willingly met with the buyer and the family leasing our house at the time. If you want someone who will work for you, Larry is the realtor for you.

If you are looking for a top notch local area real estate agent, Larry Mercer, is your guy. We moved back to Valdosta after being gone for more than 10 years. We rented a place until we were ready to look for a home to settle down in. We found Larry Mercer and he worked with us to find a great house. It took a few month, but he was very patient with us and taught us some things about how real estate works along the way.
This helped us make informed decisions throughout the home buying process. He not only knows the area inside and out, but the community as well. With Larry we were able to find the right home to settle down in. We really appreciate your hard work and had a great experience with you Larry. Thank you!

Dedra Hughes and Sarah Maxwell are the ultimate in providing outstanding service for your real estate needs. My husband and I just relocated to Valdosta from out of state and Dedra and Sarah made every step of our home purchase so easy. They are their client's advocate and friend no matter what your needs may be. I certainly give both of them the highest recommendation. We couldn't be happier with our beautiful home and community. Both my husband and I thank Dedra and Sarah for helping us to find our dream home. They are our realtors for life. Denise Turley-Rousseau

I live in Florida. Dedra Hughes sold my property in Barney Georgia in less than two weeks of being listed. She is very motivated and knowledgeable. We were able to take care of the whole process on our smartphones. I didn't even have to leave the house. She made it very fast and easy. I got exactly what I wanted for the property. It was a very, very good experience. I would highly recommend her to anybody that has property or a house to be sold

Very military friendly! Larry Mercer helped my wife and I find a house in one day. He gave up his time on a Saturday because it was the only time I had to house hunt when we first PCS'd here. He showed us the houses we wanted to see, and helped us place a bid on a house that 4 other familiesnliked just as much as we did that same day. We won the bid and love our house! Larry helped us close in less than 30 days and struck a deal for us to move in two weeks early to help us save money from living in a hotel. Thanks again Larry!

Dedra was instrumental in selling our house! She helped us navigate a multitude of tiny vexing situations that continued to arise during the selling process and did it with a smile and a positive "we've got this" attitude. When we were worried Dedra was there to reassure us, when we were uncertain she was there to calm our fears, and when we received a back up offer she was there to negotiate the back up offer as well. There is NOTHING that Dedra cannot handle! I hope we never have to move from our current home but if we do Dedra will be my first call!
