Shelia Lunsford is hands down the best realtor you will EVER have the pleasure of buying a home with. I have worked with a handful of (what I thought were) decent agents in the past. Shelia's work ethic, professionalism and concern for our wishes made every one of them look like amateurs. My previous experiences with different realtors pale in comparison to working with Shelia. She goes above and beyond in every aspect. She exceeded expectations that we didn't even know we had. She is very prompt with correspondence. We never felt like she left us hanging, or like she didn't have time for us. As our professional relationship evolved, the couple of times she may have taken longer to get back to us about something, we had already developed enough confidence in her to know that if she hadn't gotten back to us about something, it was for good reason. Shelia doesn't just show homes for you to buy. She RESEARCHES each property with a fine toothed comb. Sometimes that can take a good chunk of time, especially when having to wait on seller's agents for responses. And if she can't get a response on her end, she'll find other avenues, via her extensive list of contacts or knowledge of public records, to get answers on her own. I don't know how she finds the time to be so thorough with as many clients as she has. We were looking for a home on several acres with specific desires for a mini-farm. Each time we arrived to view a property Shelia didn't just show us the house. She put hiking boots on and walked the entire parcel with us in search of property lines, ponds, creeks and any potential hazards or issues with the land. My husband and I would be trying to catch our breath behind her. On a couple of occasions, she even watched our two babies in the house so that we could walk a property without having to tote them through the woods. She was so accommodating and never made us feel rushed, or like we were putting her out in any way. When we finally found a home (after close to 10 months of working with Shelia) and our closing date was approaching, the sellers and their agent tried to strong-arm us into letting them out of certain terms that we all had previously agreed to in the contract. The way Shelia handled them was an art form. After consulting with us on how we wanted to proceed, she fought for us with class and poise, never getting nasty or losing her professionalism like the seller's agent did. Shelia armed herself with facts, confidence and respectfulness. In the end, the seller conceded and our team felt very vindicated. Even through a couple of personal tragedies that took her out of town Shelia made us feel like a priority. She kept checking on us, though we urged her to take care of herself and her family. Her commitment to her clients is unmatched. She truly loves her work, but she also genuinely cares about her clients, and she will be honest about what she can and cannot do, always referring to people better suited to answer certain questions that aren't within her realm of expertise (state offices/real estate attorneys, etc). She made us feel like our quest was her quest, and never like our desires were unreasonable or unattainable. She was patient, kind, flexible and always on task. We refer any, and everyone to her. The value of working with Shelia Lunsford cannot be quantified. She brings so much more to the table than just being a realtor. Cannot recommend anyone better!

Shelia is THE BEST person and agent you could have representing your home or property! Anyone who knows her knows that she is the epitome of professional. There are a ton of real estate agents, but I have never met one that has the heart and patience that Shelia has. She's not one of those agents that wants to rush the sale so they can get paid. She really does work for you and will patiently wait to help you find the right buyer or home you are looking for.

Sheila is very personable, acts as a consultant, and goes above and beyond. It also helps that she really has the experience too.
