CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS The Vining Group did a wonderful job for us! From the first meeting with Jonathan and Alyce to after the closing of the sale of our home, they were professional, knowledgeable, always responsive and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They had a great marketing program and we were updated constantly as to results. Robin and the other staff we dealt with were also great to work with. We would definitely use them again! – Gina Jones “Jonathan was great to work with and was spot on with pricing and expectations for my new construction sales. I would highly recommend Jonathan for any need: selling or helping you find the property you like!” – Asa Candler We are from the UK and choose Lake Oconee area to be our holiday home. We have bought and sold many properties in the past and have dealt with numerous agents from every type of property, we have purchased properties in London and many surrounding parts of London and also in The USA. This is one of the first times we have met an agent that can balance professionalism so well with warmth and friendliness. There wasn’t anything that was beyond Alyce or could not be done effectively and proficiently, with all the elegance of the wellknown Southern Charm. Thanks for helping us find a fantastic Home Alyce! – Robert Hale
“The Vining Group deserves 5 stars across the board. Their knowledge of the local market would be hard to beat. The team’s professionalism from start to finish is impressive. They follow up, update you, and stay in consistent contact during the entire process of listing to sale. They become your advocate in every way. They can assess changes in the market place to adjust, and make common sense recommendations. Most importantly, they know what it takes to get a deal done. We are very happy with your creativity and service. Rest assured if we need another real estate transaction we will know who to call. Best to you and your team!” – Fred and Lucy Kohly “The Vining Group listed and sold my lake house in 22 days. They helped me price it right and didn’t make me spend a lot of time and money fixing it up beforehand. The closing process was a breeze. Jonathan was always available if I needed him - even when he was traveling. Highly recommend him!” - Robin Sangston Jonathan Vining has done an excellent job selling properties for us at The Peoples Bank. In 2015 he sold five properties for us and I have found him to be an outstanding realtor. He has great knowledge of the Lake Oconee and Sinclair area and is very responsive to any of our calls or requests. I would proudly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a realtor. - Mike Rountree, The Peoples Bank Eatonton

Here’s what clients are saying about working with the Vining Group! “Alyce and Jonathan are fabulous. They sold us our home in July and we could not be happier. They are professional yet take a personal interest in what you are looking for so they can match you to the perfect house. They are always available to answer questions or address issues you might have. I would certainly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home.” – Ashley Waskey
“We have had a great experience both times we have used the Vining group. They have a great understanding of the Lake Oconee market. We have used them for both our personal home and for buying an investment property. They were great both times and were very helpful and informative. We would definitely use Alyce and Jonathan again and would highly recommend them to others.” – George Turner
The Vining Group is great to work with. Very knowledgeable about the area, extremely timely and always seems to be looking out for the best interests of their clients. We were looking to purchase a home but had a particular budget and needs in a house which narrowed the choices. Jonathan was patient with us even showing 15 houses in just a few days. I’m happy to say we found our dream home and look forward to raising our family there. Thanks Jonathan and The Vining Group!” – Stephen Adams
The Vining Group has 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 continued to help with all the final questions our family had 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
“The Vinings are great agents who make selling a home as easy as possible. They give great recommendations for getting your house ready and make every attempt to get it sold as quickly as possible. We are very thankful for them helping get our house SOLD in 90 days!” – Andrew Roberts
“Alyce helped us to sell our lake home in just 3 days. She’s an appraiser, and she valued our home in a range that was the “right” price to sell quickly. We feel as though it was a win/win for us as Seller (as well as the buyer). We would recommend the Vining Group on Lake Oconee.” – Janelle and Kirk Anderson

NYTIME YOU BUY OR sell real estate, choosing the right agent will be one of the most crucial decisions you make through the process. As independent contractors, each Agent runs his/her business differently and offers varying levels of services and expertise. It’s not a one-size-fits-all scenario. Here are some things to consider when choosing the right Agent for you.
Choosing the Right Real Estate Agent It’s not a one-sizefits-all scenario
• It is paramount to work with a local Agent. Your Agent should have extensive, current knowledge of the local market. An out-of-area Agent simply doesn’t have the knowledge to ensure his/her Client is making a sound purchase. And, if you’re selling, why would you not use a local expert who is best at selling the area? In addition, only members have access to the local MLS. Bet your out-of-area Agent didn’t tell you that! Some Agents utilize only one. The Vining Group utilizes 4 MLSs! Ask about this as it will have an impact on the exposure of your property. • What is his/her experience in the local marketplace? Is your Agent full-time and focused only on real estate? Or is he/she dabbling on the side or among other things? Running a successful real estate business is a full-time gig! In fact, the commitment continues after hours and on weekends, too! Thriving, not just surviving, speaks volumes to the

Selecting the right representative can make all the difference in buying or selling property success he/she will have in reaching your goals. Experience doesn’t only involve time; the number of transactions is important for real situational experience. Ask the question: “How many transactions have you had in the last year?” Negotiating is an essential skill in real estate sales and is developed through being involved in multiple and varying situations. The Agent you have in your corner will make the difference in the sale price, the terms involved and how long your property is on the market. • How extensive is his/her marketing campaign for listings? Does he/she employ a professional photographer? Provide aerials and videos? What print publications are used and what is their distribution? What is your Agent’s internet presents? Today, well over 90% of Buyers search for property online. Your Agent needs to have expansive internet and social media presence to ensure your property is reaching the most potential Buyers. Perform your own search to see how strong your Agent’s present is and how his/ her listings are represented. Not only do you want your property marketed with the broadest reach, but in the most professional manner. This will make a lasting impression with Buyers and make your property stand out among its competition. • With what type of brokerage firm is your Agent affiliated? Using a firm with global, national,
and regional recognition is important, especially in our market, because they provide a broader reach to find potential Buyers and have access to an international network of cooperating Agents who are currently working with Buyers. The independent companies simply cannot offer that kind of exposure, nor the abundance of marketing tools, extensive education, and support for their Agents so they can provide the highest level of service to their Clients.
• Does the Agent list and sell properties throughout your market, or is he/she tied to a single community or developer? This is an important question in our marketplace and one which is often overlooked. If you are selling your property, you want an Agent who is going to do just that… sell YOUR specific property-- not just the community. Which do you
Direct: 706-686-5033 LakeOconee.Realty 706-485-0088
think that Agent is more motivated to sell—yours or their company’s? If you are buying, you may think you want to live in a certain community, but how can you be sure if you do not compare? Working with an Agent who can show you properties in all communities and educate you on the pros and cons of each, from a neutral position, ensures you leave no stone unturned when searching for your perfect property. • Lastly, what is your Agent’s reputation? Speak to past Clients; ask people in your community. If you are uncomfortable going this far, look at online reviews. An Agent has no control over what their past Clients say about them online. Reviews will give you a good idea of the experience you can expect to have with that Agent. Selling or purchasing real estate is a big deal.
