T ES T I M O N I A L S “We could not be happier with the quality of attention, knowledge, professionalism and patience afforded to us by Jonathan and Alyce during the sale of our home, as well as the search for and purchase of our “forever” dream home. Their attention to detail and follow up, along with their helpful and kind demeanor, made it much easier to relax during what is usually a very exciting, but stressful time. We feel blessed to have signed with The Vining Group....Thank you, Jonathan and Alyce!” – Bob and Carol Rauss “Alyce and Jonathan Vining have been nothing but the best Realtors we could have asked for during our extended process to find the perfect lake home. Their patience and diligence to find exactly what our family wanted and needed is so greatly appreciated! We have found a home that is perfect for our family to grow into. They were always willing to make time during their busy schedule to accommodate for our multiple visits to Lake Oconee to see as many homes as we wanted. Post-closing date, they continue to help with all the final questions our family has for our moving process to a new area. We would 100% recommend The Vining Group to help assist you in looking for the best home on Lake Oconee!” – Bev Evans “I started my search for a new home by myself. However, I met Jonathan through my work with the local government, and I immediately knew that he was going to be someone I wanted on my team. You can really tell that he loves what he does and he has his client’s best interest at heart. He was available every time I had any sort of need, no matter how trivial. He was patient and explained many concepts to me, a first time home buyer, that really helped me understand the processes that we were going through. He was constantly sending suggestions and new homes to check out my way. Whenever we found a home that we liked, he did an impressive amount of research and was usually able to set up a preview with 1-2 days. Once we went under contract he was in constant communication and obtained every item I requested with a very low turnaround time. I am happy to give Jonathan and Alyce Vining my highest recommendation and I look forward to doing business with them again in the future. If you are looking for the best Realtors in Greene County, then look no further than The Vining Group!” – Matthew Deal “The Vining Group is the BEST! Jonathan has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to buying or selling a property in the lake area. I’ve worked with a lot of different agents through the years and I must say The Vining Group takes things to the next level!” – Chris Braswell “We have dealt with many Realtors over the years and have never experienced the level of exemplary service that the team of Alyce and Jonathan have provided. Most often, we have seen Realtors merely coming along for the ride. In their case, the level of professionalism, attention to details, and intuitive approach to selling dynamics and sales process sets this team apart from the pack.” – Mark Marshalok “It was truly a pleasure from start to finish working with Jonathan and Alyce Vining. They are a great team - very knowledgeable about all aspects of the buying process and perhaps, most importantly, experts on the unique Lake Oconee market. Their prompt attention to detail and helpful advice paved the way for a quick and smooth closing on a great home. We highly recommend Jonathan & Alyce.” – James and Denise Dale
