Testimonials “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, Seller “This is the second time we have done business with Alyce. The first time we were purchasing our condo and just recently she sold the condo. Alyce is a professional. She is timely when you meet with her. She returns phone calls and emails promptly. She gives you her honest opinion. Our condo sold in less than two months. The Vining Group does extensive marketing. The next time we need a realtor in the Eatonton / Greensboro area, we will be calling Alyce.”—Dan & Barbara Irwin, Sellers “Jonathan helped my wife and I purchase a home in Reynolds Plantation. We found him to be very professional and very knowledgeable about the real estate market. He was quick to return phone calls, emails and text messages. He thoroughly researched the market and helped us negotiate the the best purchase price. This was the second time we used Jonathan for purchasing real estate and I highly recommend him to anyone considering purchasing or selling property in the Lake Oconee area.”—Mark Duclos, Buyer & Seller “Alyce and Jonathan are simply the best. We had no idea what we wanted other than a lake home. After repeated efforts, and unbelievable patience on Alyce and Jonathan’s part, we were able to find the home that will allow us to enjoy the Lake Oconee area for years with our children and grand-children. If you want real estate professionals that take their job and your goals seriously this is the team for you. They are hyper responsive, have superior local knowledge, and to top it off made the experience enjoyable.”—Dan Mikan, Buyer “The Vinings’ are wonderful! Easy to work with. They are very knowledgeable, accommodating, and work diligently to close the deal. I highly recommend Alyce and Jonathan Vining!!”—Vicki Akins, Seller “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 & Denise Dale, Buyers • Fleur de Lac
