The Buford Team have been close family friends for a long time so I already knew they would do a great job! With that being said, they exceeded my expectations. I was a first home buyer and they went above and beyond to ensure I was knowledgeable about each step of the process. It was evident that it was very important to them that we found the perfect house!
Getting Georgia and her team to sell our house was the best decision we ever made. From the first meeting, Georgia walked us through the entire process and was there every step of the way. Having the support of Nikki and Constance was also a huge advantage. We were able to sell our house in an incredibly short period of time and did much better than we expected. Georgia was referred to us by a friend and we would not hesitate to refer her to friends and family.
Georgia Buford and Nikki Buford have handled several real estate listings and closings for my family and know the market well. For my new husband’s condo they presented him with an asking price contract faster than a for sale sign could be placed in the front yard. They listened intently to his list of wants and showed my son the perfect house on day one of the search. My own house was under contract at the first open house. When we stumbled upon the perfect little blueberry farm in Monticello, FL I called Georgia immediately and we got it. The Buford family of realtors have blueberry privileges for life!
Molly & her team were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process of buying and closing. She is incredibly knowledgeable about each step. She is extremely responsive; I was in constant contact with her and never felt out of touch with her. Once our offer was in, I was blown away by how hands on she was to get the contract closed. She has a superior list of vendors and contacts to ensure all areas are taken care of.
I was looking to buy my first home and of course knew Audrey Nedeau would help me find exactly what I was looking for. She was always sending me listings almost daily. She was willing to work with my complicated work schedule so that we could go walk through some houses. She walked me through the process every step of the way and made sure to answer any questions I had. You can tell she loves what she does because she goes through great lengths to help her clients find the home they love! Super friendly and professional, and I would highly recommend her if you are in the market for a home!
We were privileged to have the Buford team to be part of the purchase of my children’s first homes. They were very professional and took the time to walk through the details that only a first home buyer would need help with. They treated them as if they were the only client they had walking them through the pros and cons of various details while purchasing their home. Took the time to be part of the home inspection pointing out details of various components of their house. The benefit of having three people helping you is such a bonus! I highly recommend using them in the next purchase or sale of your property!
Even though we are in a seller’s market, realtors must do the same up-front work to be sure a house is presented at its best. Constance and Georgia Buford were amazing! They helped me stage my house, used a professional photographer and got the house listed quickly and accurately. The day after the listing went live, they held an open house and by COB the next day, we had two offers. I couldn’t be happier.
Joana,Thank You! Your customer service was amazing!I listed a $50 k condo with Joana and she treated the listing like it was a 1m Home. I live out of state a 16 hour drive.I bought the unit for my son to live in for law school. He moved out over 2 years ago due to c-19 and then he graduated remotely etc. So I was only at the unit 1 time move in day.We got referred to Joana from a local real estate attorney.What a great referral! I never had to come to town. She got the unit cleaned the ac fixed etc. She was my eyes and ears for this deal. She sold the unit AS IS we didnt even have to have his furniture or college pots and pans moved out. Her knowledge of the market and pool of buyers is what we needed. Best of all she got the unit SOLD in under a month all cash very clean deal! She also got us over asking price!FYI 10 things to look for in a Realtor1. Available2. Experienced3. Honest4. Knowledgable5. Personable6. Proactive7. Professional8. Reliable9. Reputable10. Tech-SavvyJoana you are a 10 out 10!
Gray is AMAZING. She is really knowledgeable, and is a fantastic negotiator. She really made the whole buying a house process easier and simpler. I wouldnt have been able to pick a better agent then her, if your looking to buy a property in the Tallahassee area look no further.
Georgia, Constance and Nikki were AMAZING from the beginning of our home search journey all of the way until closing day (and after!) The Buford Team was knowledgable, helpful and very positive even with the tough buyers market. The team of three went above and beyond when trying to find a house to hit every checkmark. In the end, we were able to find my dream home in my dream location. Their constant communication and helpful connections allowed the contract process to move efficiently and seamlessly. Besides that, theyre a BLAST to work with! Cant wait for a housewarming party!
Georgia, Constance, and Nikki Buford absolutely exceeded our expectations. This is a very smart and dedicated team who made sure we had the best home buying experience as possible. As a first-time home buyer, there was A LOT I learned along the way. The Buford Team was patient in explaining new terms and, more importantly, tips and tricks navigating the process. Cannot recommend this team more.
Georgia Buford and the Buford team have been exceptional for our family! We have used them for multiple transactions, all of which ended up in full asking price offers within 24 hours. Georgia is extremely professional and was always responsive to our needs. Highly recommend!
We retained Hettie Spooner to sell our home because she has a reputation as an excellent Realtor. She did not disappoint. Hettie knows how to prepare a home for sale to maximize its value, she understands the market and is a superb negotiator. We highly recommend Hettie to anyone selling or buying a home.
Even in todays fast and crazy market The Buford Team was able to help find my brother his dream home! And answering every question and educating him on questions he didn’t know he had being a first time home buyer. Georgia, Nikki and Constance couldn’t have done a better job! No better team to help with your real estate needs; I will always recommend The Buford Team!
We were extremely pleased with our agent, Calynne Hill, and the entire Hill, Spooner & Elliott team. When the sale of our home began, we were prepared for a potentially long & stressful process; however, from showing the house (given ample notice), receiving constructive feedback, inspections, making necessary repairs, all the way to the closing, I can confidently say it was a most pleasant and stress-free experience. Our house sold in less than three months; I believe solely due to the professional and competent Hill, Spooner & Elliott team. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Hettie helped us buy our first home which by chance was a foreclosure. She helped us make smart offers that put us ahead of the crowd of people that were also trying to buy the same house. Then she made navigating through all of the complications that come along with buying a foreclosure, a breeze! Highly recommend.
Over a few years of looking at houses, none of the houses or realtors felt like the right fit. It was all just too stressful and I had almost given up any hope of finding our first house. That was until we met Audrey Nedeau! She was so wonderful and kind. She was able to help us navigate all of the details that came with being first-time home buyers. She provided answers to my hundreds of questions. She was great about understanding and caring about our budget. She found us an amazing house that is still perfect for us. :) She didnt just disappear after the papers were signed either, she has sent us Christmas cards each year and is always available by phone or text, and checks in with us every so often to see how we are, which I think is wonderful. I always recommend her to anyone I hear talking about house hunting.
Kevin is a great realtor. We had an amazing experience with him. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and was able to work with our crazy schedule when showing houses. He made the whole process as simple and smooth as it couple be. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Gray was so incredibly helpful and dedicated to our family in search for a home in Tallahassee. She spent countless months with us while we traveled back and forth from South Florida, finding and showing us property’s from when we couldn’t make it there. She went above and beyond until we found the perfect home!
My son recently purchased his first home. The Buford team, with their knowledge and dedication assisted him through every aspect of this process. The many calls, text and emails answered promptly. Georgia, Nikki and Constance helped make his dream come true! Thank you to the Buford team!!!
Lori Mattice is an outstanding realtor and did an incredible job for us, especially since we were out-of-town buyers. She coordinated all inspections and put us in touch with the right professionals to assist with necessary repairs. We would 100% recommend Lori to anyone seeking real estate services. Thank you, Lori!
When I decided to house hunt I contacted Shannon Pararo with Hill Spooner & Elliott. I had heard good things about Mrs. Pararo through family and friends and believe me I was not disappointed. After meeting with Shannon and talking with her about what I wanted and the location I wanted to be in she found the perfect home for me. She walked me through the whole home buying process and made me feel at ease. Home buying can be a little scary but if you have a dedicated experienced agent you have nothing to worry about. Thank you Shannon for listening to what I wanted and finding me my home.
We could not have asked for a better experience with Hettie! She was patient, a great communicator, and extremely helpful to us as first time home buyers. She made us feel at ease during a stressful situation and helped us get the house of our dreams. We could not have done it without her!
Lori Mattice did a great job for us. The transaction was complicated by having to learn everything about the house without being able to talk to the original owner. Also, the house had been unoccupied for almost a year. The original owner passed away and his parents became the sellers, but they did not know much about the house. Lori lined up some great inspectors and repairmen who really knew what they were doing. Numerous problems were discovered during the inspection, which were all fixable and negotiable. I am sure that this sale took more of Loris time than the average sale and we are grateful for the time and care she took on our behalf. Thank you, Lori!
I worked with Joanna McIver and she was amazing! I was looking for something very specific and she was very patient with me. She gave great advice and helped me get the perfect home. During closing she was on top of everything and had great recommendations of people to work with. She was a joy to work with and I always looked forward to seeing her.
Molly Corder and team is superior. Molly assisted in the selling and buying of our properties and we couldnt be more pleased with her professionalism, knowledge, work ethic and outcome of both transactions. Initially, we were unsure of our plans but Molly was appropriately persistent with keeping us informed of the latest homes to hit the market. She was diligent, timely, patient, kind, and listened to our wants and needs. Her knowledge of the market, locally and nationally, is unparalleled. She was our advocate and we were confident in our communication/negotiating as she charted the course for us. Honestly, she made it easy.
I was inquiring about purchasing a home. I was fortunate to talk to Audrey N. who was super amazing, friendly and patient with all of my questions and concerns of wanting to buy a home in Tallahassee! When I’m ready to purchase, Audrey already has a future client! Thank you for kindness Audrey!
I have used Lori Mattice for all my real estate needs after moving to Tallahassee over 25 years ago. Her professionalism and knowledge of the market has been excellent. Her contacts for other services I have needed have also been very helpful. I highly recommend.Scott Bennett
I really lived have Mrs.Lori as my agent, she was always consistent in finding me a home, she listened to what my needs and wants in finding my home she found me just what I want and the home I have its only been a year, and Im so in love with it,And for having Mrs. Lori as my agent she just dont sell a home, she continues to keep up with after the fact of getting you home, she alway available even after saying you that home.I even referred Mrs. Lori to my sister, which she also brought a home through Mrs. Lori as well.To me she is God sent and I would refer her to anyone thats look for a homeShe is a perfect agent,She love, care about the people she works for, again God sent.Thank you,Beverly Johnson
Over the top customer service from this organization. Appreciate the efforts the staff goes through to assist their clients. I can say with conviction, that if you have not had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Audrey Nedeau, you paid too much and experienced too many exceptions. Mrs. Audrey exhibits care and professionalism beyond any experience I have had in my past. Thank You Audrey you are second to NONE!!
I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with Audrey Nedeau on numerous real estate transactions. Audrey has a unique ability to combine creative thinking with impeccablepeople skills, thus enabling her to outperform all expectations in both her professional and personal life. If you ever hear her say, “Let me see what I can do”… then your personal miracle is underway! Audrey is widely known and well respected. She is a blessing to everyone who has the opportunity to work with her.
Audrey Nedeau is our agent of choice for all of our real estate transactions. She was our agent for our first home and now our second purchase in Florida. She’s smart, honest, responsive, pleasant, and totally clear especially when real estate can be complicated. She knows the industry and communities better than anyone. We won’t use any other agent in Florida.
Some realtors (while the do serve a purpose) seem to merely try and get as many listings as they can. While this is important , Georgia is different in this regard. She really cares about helping you find the right property and is always available if you need anything. Foe her, it’s not about how many listings she has , it’s balancing them so she has enough time to make you feel as if you’re the only one she’s working for. She goes above and beyond for her clients and I know this to be true as I have used her on two occasions now. She is one of the hardest working realtors out there.
Ask for Gray Nichols or Joanne McIver. These two are incredible. They know the market but beyond that they get people. I’ve had bad realtors think they were smarter than me and focus on their commission more than they listen to what I’m saying. Gray and Joanne are the opposite. They listen, and seek to understand their clients short- and long-term goals. What I love about Gray is she is always willing to try something. She views every interaction as a learning opportunity. No idea is too crazy and she’ll always think it through with you as a partner.
Lori Mattice has assisted me in buying and selling four homes in Tallahassee. She is experienced, kind, and extremely professional. Lori guided me through the process with not only checklists and reminders, but with boundless energy and enthusiasm.I am thankful for my realtor and friend…Lori Mattice.
Hill Spooner agent Lori Mattice has helped us with three real estate transactions in the last 10 years. She sold one property for the highest price in the area in a short amount of time (1 week) and helped us to negotiate the purchase price on two other properties well below market values. Lori defines honesty, integrity, and professionalism.
We met Constance at an Open House. We provided our contact information and she followed up with us immediately. Constance showed us lots of houses and even visited houses via FaceTime for us when we were not able to travel to Tallahassee. Constance was always very quick to respond when we had questions. The communication we received from both Constance and Georgia was great. We will definitely recommend them to our family and friends.
I have had the pleasure of working with Shannon Pararo in the home selling and purchasing process. She made herself available to show homes, provided listings for my review regularly and she kept myself and my husband apprised of what was happening throughout both processes. Shannon was and continues to be available for any questions we have.
We met Audrey Nedeau, with @hillspoonerandelliott, through an algorithmic computer selection when I inquired about a property that was for sale online, and it was such a blessing (we truly believe it was a destined encounter). We were looking to move to Tallahassee and I realized very quickly that we should trust Audrey with finding us a home. We are a family of four and at that time, our littles were 4 and 5 years old. Audrey was patient and charming and worked tirelessly to find us a home, which she did and in the perfect neighborhood for us. We have and continue to highly recommend her as a go-to Realitor in Tallahassee.
Finding a home in todays market is stressful enough to start the process, but The Buford Team made the process flawless and helped us find our perfect forever home! They helped us every step of the way and helped in more ways than I could have ever hoped for! Thank you ladies for everything!
I had the pleasure of working with Joanna McIver and I have never worked with a better realtor. Joanna is knowledgeable and will work as long as it takes to find you a perfect home. As long as I’m in Tallahassee, I won’t work with anyone else. You won’t find a better realtor.
I initially called Mrs. Mattice about a piece of property in Quincy. That didn’t work out. A few months later, I called her back, about a property in Tallahassee. Within 30 minutes of my phone call to Mrs. Mattice, we were at the property for a viewing. I believe that was on a Thursday afternoon. Came back on Friday as I wanted my daughter to see the home. Put my contract in on Sunday …… the rest is history. Mrs. Mattice was beyond professional, courteous, flexible, and accommodating. Extremely pleasant to work with. She went way above and beyond the call of duty. She anticipated EVERYTHING & took care of EVERYTHING. Answered her phone when she could & when she could not answer, very promptly returned my call. Her follow through is exemplary. She made sure I was taken care of, well after my closing. This was my 1st home buying experience & I certainly hope she’s not retired when I go to purchase my next home. You can not go wrong with Mrs. Lori Mattice.
Constance, Nikki and Georgia make up “The Buford Team.” What a trio of enthusiasm, information and style! Whether you are looking for a new home or an investment, these ladies will steer you in the right direction! They are responsive and will listen to your wants and needs. No one knows Tallahassee better than the three of them. When you contact Hill Spooner and Elliott, ask for “The Buford Team.”
Working with Damian Costantino to purchase our first home was such a great experience! Damian and his team helped us along every step of the process and coordinated all of the inspections, etc which made the process so much easier. Robert Wallis was a big part of our home search as well and we really enjoyed working with him, too! We would definitely recommend Hill, Spooner & Elliott and would work with them again in the future!
We worked with Brandi Van Leuven, and she is absolutely amazing! Brandi spent so much time with us, showing us homes, neighborhoods, really figuring out what was important to us (even some things we didnt even know we wanted) and we have our perfect starter home! The financing, closing, and contract signing were all handled smoothly, timely and explained clearly.We have recommended Brandi to several friends and everyone who has worked with her all had the same experience!
I recently purchased a home through Hill Spooner and Elliot. Not only did my agent, Joanna Villenueve find a needle in a haystack for me, the transaction itself from beginning to end was seamless, professional and overall a wonderful buying experience. In most real estate transactions, there are always going to be hiccups. Any challenges that we DID face, Joanna and her team handled it quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend Joanna And Hill Spooner and Elliot if you’re in the market to buy or sell a home.
Well we decided to buy during the height of the pandemic and as you can only imagine it was a wild experience. We must have looked at dozens of houses in various states of disrepair. Joana Villeneuve was amazing. She cheerfully went from house to house always giving us the best advice. She made sure we got the best deal possible and was a fierce negotiator on our behalf. We highly recommend her for all your home buying needs.
The Buford Team from Hill Spooner are the absolute best. Constance was and will forever be our primary agent, but with one Buford comes the knowledge and expertise of all three. Constance, Georgia, and Nikki went above and beyond to find my wife and I the perfect home. As first time homebuyers, it would have been easy for us to become overwhelmed with the process. That’s where the Bufords stepped in. Not only did Constance think outside the box in finding our home, she and the team were always available to answer our questions and provide us the information we needed to make informed decisions. We cannot wait to raise our twin girls in the home they found for us! 10 out of 10 will use the Bufords for all our future real estate transactions!
Loved working with the Buford Team! I am an agent in ATL and worked with them through an entire transaction, start to finish was a breeze and so flawless! Professional, prompt, and kind! The best things. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the FL area looking for a great team!
Lori Mattice represented us in the purchase of our home and she was a pleasure to deal with. Not only was she attentive to our “wish list” as far as what we wanted in a home, but her extensive local market knowledge proved to be invaluable during the house hunting process…would definitely use her again.
There are not enough superlatives to describe Lori Mattice. She understood right away the kind of house I was looking for, and worked diligently to find the right place, even counseling me against a house that would have netted her a larger commission. Ultimately, she contacted homeowners in one of my favorite neighborhoods, to see if anyone would be interested in selling. A few days later, we had a contract! Throughout the process, she has been readily available to advise and assist me. Lori is knowledgeable, professional, and good company. She has my whole-hearted recommendation.
Gray Nichols is the best! I have been searching for a home for a long time and she is always available to answer any questions I have. She makes the thought of buying a home much less daunting. She has an eye for design and can help you visualize the potential of a space. Her attention to detail is what sets her above the rest! Highly recommend!

2022-04-07We were relocating to Tallahassee and Hettie was recommended to us. We stared working with her before we even moved. Hettie was incredibly knowledgeable and really helped us to understand the Tallahassee market. She took the time to understand our family and what we were looking for while providing guidance in a very complex market. She was truly a pleasure to work with, and was incredibly patient. She was always happy to answer my questions. She spent many many days showing us homes and I never felt “rushed or pressured” to pick a home that wasn’t right for our family. Not only is Hettie an excellent agent but I also consider her a friend!!

2022-07-06We had the pleasure of working with Georgia, Constance and Nikki, The Buford Team! We were relocating from GA which made house hunting a little challenging. However, they made the process easy and fun. They were fantastic in helping us in every step of the process from understanding our needs in our new home, finding a realtor to help us sell our home in GA, to closing on our new home. With their knowledge of the housing market, and exceptional ways to make our offer stand out from the rest, we were able to buy our perfect home in Tallahassee. Thank you again, Buford Team!

2022-06-08My daughter recently moved to Tallahassee and began a search for a house. The Buford Team was the perfect choice for us to work with. We spent a Saturday afternoon looking at a house and through that time we developed a positive relationship and deeper understanding of what the wishes and needs for her house would be.A few days later my daughter got a message showing her her ‘dream house’. They quickly set up an appointment to see it. On that day they showed a few other possibilities knowing the ‘dream house’ was a bit of a stretch...simply too perfect and probably many that would agree and also be interested in making a bid.Within a few days we were guided with the bid and then sat back knowing we had done all we could too. The Buford Team made several suggestions to sweeten the deal, which we did, and set up many people to help if the bid was accepted to quickly seal the deal.Happily the bid was accepted and my daughter is now a happy Tallahassee Resident in a home she loves, in a fantastic neighborhood, and surrounded with so many wonderful opportunities to enjoy Tallahassee and the beauty around her.The Buford Team was spot on. They were quick to act. They listened well and acted on the wish list. They knew what it takes to make a deal and to get it through. The team they work with is fantastic and I believe my daughter not only bought a house but made some special friends along the way. I am so thankful.

I will definitely be going to this team when it’s time for a upgrade.

2022-07-13Kevin Clark was my realtor and I honestly can’t say enough positive things about the experience. This was my first time buying a house, so I was totally lost and stress was at an all time high. My sister suggested I get a realtor and it was the best decision I made (besides the house I purchased of course :)) Kevin helped me every step of the way. He knows the market very well, so he was able to explain things in a way that helped me to make an informed decision. He was always available for questions and was constantly sending me updates and houses that fit my criteria. He worked within my wish list and budget and helped me be patient enough to find the perfect house. There were times I wanted to settle just to be done house hunting, but he helped me to stay motivated so I didn’t settle. If you are looking for a house or wanting to sell your house, I would highly recommend using a realtor, and if you want the best, you should call Kevin Clark.

2022-07-03The Buford Team is the absolute best in the business! Georgia, Constance and Nikki have been incredibly helpful throughout all stages of the process, and with being a first home buyer I have greatly appreciated their guidance. They go above and beyond for their clients and truly care about people finding a home that they love!

2022-03-28We asked our South Florida realtor and a Tallahassee client who they would recommend to help us find a house in Tallahassee. Both of them recommended Hettie Spooner. Having lived in the same house for 38 years, finding a new house to our satisfaction was going to be a challenge. House hunting can be a stressful process however Hettie made it stress free. She is easy going, knowledgeable of the area, and very professional. Hettie quickly picked up what we were looking for and found a house that far exceeded our expectations. Because of our great experience, Hettie sold our daughter’s house and found a new house that exceeded her expectations.

2022-05-18The Buford Team assisted my wife and me with the sale of our residential rental property in midtown Tallahsssee. They worked diligently with us to prepare the property for showings and to develop a pricing and marketing strategy. The result was a successful sale at the target sales price. The Team was very professional and covered all the details. They were very patient with us and provided valuable advice and insight in the marketing process. We highly recommend the Buford Team to anyone looking to sell residential property! C. Cooper

2022-05-20Georgia has been fabulous to work with twice while our family sold two homes being after the death of parents. She was knowledgeable, patient, and wise. Georgia, Nikki and Constance have energy, wisdom, and a passion for helping people find the right place to call home. I am so thankful they were able to help my niece find a new place when she decided to leave Atlanta. Thank you for helping her get the house she will call home

2022-05-05The Buford Team was amazing to work with! Being a first time home buyer there were SO many questions and so much unknown. Georgia, Constance and Nikki was there every step of the way and happy to educate me on all the unknown and gave tips that can help me in the future. They are such a joy to work with and I cannot recommend them enough!
