Client Testimonials

 

  • Kandy, I just wanted to let you know you were GREAT to work and I appreciate your professionalism.  I have dealt with many real estate agents and other business professionals in the past and consider you to be one of the best.  I will definitely keep you in mind for future opportunities in the Gulf Coast area.  Thanks again for all your help and hope you have a Happy New Year. - Steven

     
  • Working with the Pro Team was one of the best decisions we've ever made.  Would we recommend them?       You bet!! Dotty Lou delivered everything she promised and then some.  Her experience and professionalism mixed with her own unique Southern flair made the process more enjoyable and stress-free than we thought possible.  She sold our riverfront home quickly and helped us find just what we were wishing for in our new home.  Dotty Lou knows how to get the job done.

 

  • We enjoyed working with James. He was a delight. - John & Misty

  • We have always dreamed of having a condo on the beach.  When we finally reached the point of being able to afford to do that we planned to be smart and not purchase based upon emotions.  A friend recommended Dotty Lou Farias to us as a very good realtor and we contacted her.  Because we are not new property owners we thought we knew all about the process.  However, we quickly found that purchasing beach property is not the same as purchasing a home in a non-beach area.  Dotty was so patient with us, she listened to what we wanted, she was attentive to our budget, and she was able to match us with our dream.  We now own a condo in Orange Beach that will be a source of fun for us and for our grown children and our grandchildren.  We could not be happier!  Thanks to Dotty Lou and the Pro Team, they really are pros. - Bob & Mary Katherine

     

  • "James Calvert is one of the best realtors we had the pleasure of meeting. He helped us totally to assist us in finding our dream vacation home in Gulf Shores, AL.  We love the purchase and he was always honest during the negotiations. At no point did he lead us into a quick purchase. He is the one that we will choose for our real estate needs the next time round. Thank You James!! - Monaz and Yezad"

 

  • Our family has worked closely with Kandy during this past year when we sold one property and purchased another.  She is always positive, hard working and conscientious and greets us with a smile even in difficult circumstances.  We are so happy to have her as our agent. - Gerry & Carol
     
  • Dotty put up with us for over 15 years before we finally decided to make the leap and purchase a condo in Gulf Shores! Talk about patient! She did an incredible job for us, lots of footwork, paperwork, explanations, answering our questions about short sales, closings, cost, etc.....the list goes on. Dotty has continued to follow up with us after the purchase to make sure we are happy. Dotty isn't just our agent, she's become a friend too. And Sam you did a great job too, always quick with answers to my questions, getting the necessary paperwork to me and walking me through it, thank you SO much! - Joy

 

  • Kandy Hines is incredibly professional, and an excellent realtor with in-depth knowledge of the local market. 

    I have purchased two investment condos with her help and have referred others who have been extremely satisfied with her service as well.  In addition, she is just a very nice person!  I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for property on the Alabama Gulf Coast. - Janet

 

  • Dotty Lou was such a friendly and professional realtor.  We talked on the telephone and gave her an idea of what we wanted and where we wanted to buy.  We made the 3 hour drive and met with her for the first time at her office and reviewed the condos she had researched for us.  We had a 20 minute drive to the complex and during the ride my wife and I really got to know her.  Spent about 3 hours looking and decided on the first unit we saw.  Earnest money was given to her so she could present the offer and we received a quick response.  Our counter was a little unusual but she respected our wishes and made the offer, our final offer of what we believed was a fair price and it was accepted.  She was so professional in walking us through the process, our first condo, and so knowledgeable of condo units as second homes.  As we requested, she provided us with a list of local mortgage companies and helped us to get to a speedy closing, which we had requested.  From offer to closing was, I believe, only 32 days.  Would recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, witty, charming and really classy lady to help with finding a home or condo.  My wife and I think we have made a friend for life. -Bud and Lyn

     

  • Kandy Hines is the most professional, intelligent, caring and personable Realtor I have worked with in this area. She asked questions and knew what I was looking for and remembered.  I told her what house I liked but it was unavailable, she continued to look for me and with her connections heard that the house I liked became available again.  She contacted me that morning, we had the offer in then closed with in a week. Kandy always returned my calls with a happy voice. - Laura

 

  • We had some experience to work with Ms. Kandy... she is really professional in  what she does!! She helped us to buy a house, find the best deal for mortgage, house maintenance, house insurance deals and etc., and even now helps us with housing! From 1-10 points we would give her 10+!!!!!! - Svetlana & Andrew

 

  • Sandy and I just wanted to take a moment ant "Thank You" for all that you have done for us during this past year.  We really appreciate your professionalism and your patience. You and Buzz always had our best interests at heart and never appeared to get tired of showing me everything on the market.  We love our new home on the Bay and look forward to the time when we can spend many months a year in Fort Morgan.  You never lost recollection of my first email to you explaining what we were looking for, and while I tried to broaden the search at several points, you always brought me back on target. The house is exactly what we were looking for all along. I believe few would have remembered what I told you we were looking for and would have just set off showing us anything with hopes that something would stick.  I also want to thank Karen O and her ability to keep things rolling once contracts were signed. There is sure a lot to do after signatures and before closing. She did an excellent job and is an asset to your Team. You and those around you have made this long distance purchase a pleasure. We wish you the best. - Bill and Sandy

 

  • The service we received from Kandy Hines from "The Pro Team" of RE/MAX of Gulf Shores was exceptional!  We could not have asked for a better Realtor to guide us through the process of buying our beach vacation home.   Kandy's experience, professionalism, expertise and hard work helped us find exactly what we were looking for.  Her local market knowledge is invaluable . As we started to look (from out-of-state), the information and guidance she provided were extremely helpful as we were going through our decision process. Her recommendation of local inspectors, insurance providers, and mortgage companies guided us in making the right decisions during our purchase.  Kandy has that perfect balance of knowledge, drive and enthusiasm that will get the job done for you!  She is a great Realtor and now a good friend. - Buddy

 

  • Pro Team definitely stands for Professional Team.  From the first email to Dotty saying what our major criteria for a condo were to the signing of documents at the closing, the entire process was exceptionally smooth.  Dotty showed us only properties which met our requirements and then supervised and assisted us in bringing our dream to fruition.   And Karen O – well even my mortgage banker commented on her efficiency and thoroughness.  Three weeks from initial meeting with Dotty to closing, now that’s the mark of a Pro Team. - Jane

 

  • I am so grateful to James for being on top of everything, I can honestly say you are the VERY BEST Agent we have EVER had. Your professionalism, your thoroughness, and your ability to stay focused utnil all the loose ends were tied jave been a God-send for us and have made the purchasing experience mush less stressful than it could have been. Being prepared and getting all the ducks-in-a-row before closing is what makes life easier on that day. Thanks again - Lilly

  • There are only a few individuals working in Real Estate that I would recommend to a friend. Dotty Lou Farias would be one such person.  She is not only gregarious and a terrific sales person, but pays extremely close attention to details.  The recent sale of our home in Orange Beach became complicated because of the inexperience of the buyer’s agent.  Dotty Lou picked up the ball and by using foresight and her experience worked the problems to a satisfactory conclusion.  She made the deal happen!  Few other agents would have had the knowledge, persistence and focus necessary to complete this sale. -Gary & Trish - Fairhope,

 

  • With a weak sellers market surrounding I made the decision to hire James Calvert of RE/MAX of Gulf Shores' "Pro Team" to represent our properties in a new subdivision. 11 months later we have sold out the entire subdivision through pre-sale and are currently two months from completing the final custom home in the subdivision. I would recommend that anyone wanting to sell property give James and "The Pro Team" a call for an honest evaluation that is based on "real" understanding of the market value in the local real estate market.  James did such a professional job for my company that I eagerly hired him to represent me as a Buyer's Agent for my personal real estate investments- FOUR STARS!-Justin, All American Home Builders, Elberta, AL

 

  • Having bought and sold 9 properties from Kandy over the past four years, the best word to describe Kandy is ...."RESULTS". 

    Kandy's winning personality, wonderful sweet smile, market knowledge, and around the clock follow thru are some of her better traits.  She becomes a friend, and yet remains one of the most professional parsons we have ever dealt with. 

    These traits, combined with others not mentioned, have always produced excellent results for us on properties bought and sold thru Kandy. For these reasons, we say --

     "If you want RESULTS -- call KANDY."- Bill and Carolyn
