Helped me buy home • 2025

I actually worked with Jamie Rekers -works in tandem with Kate:20/10 – Jamie goes above and beyond!!As someone who’s not an expert in picking a real estate agent, I asked a family friend who they had used and they suggested Jamie Rekers. I ended up working with Jamie for almost a year to find the perfect home, and she never once pressured me or made me feel rushed. She was patient, genuinely interested in helping me find exactly what I wanted, and always supportive throughout the entire process.Before closing, Jamie went out of her way to have the easement for access to the back of the property thoroughly looked into and verified—and she found it was invalid. Despite the stress and pressure from other parties, Jamie stayed composed and focused, had my back to make sure I was covered, and got exactly what I wanted and agreed to. She kept me fully informed and worked hard to find a solution that worked for everyone. We didn’t close until everything was resolved perfectly.If you want an agent who’s knowledgeable, calm in challenging situations, and truly has your best interests at heart, Jamie is the one to call. I honestly can’t recommend her enough—20 out of 10 without a doubt.

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Jamie Rekers and the Sweeten Group. From the very beginning, Jamie took the time to truly get to know us, understand our objectives, and tailor the search to match the type of properties we were looking for. Jamie's attention to detail, patience, and deep market knowledge made the entire process seamless and enjoyable.Even when we encountered a lengthy closing process, Jamie remained incredibly supportive, proactive, and diligent in ensuring everything moved forward smoothly. Jamie's professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication was amazing every step of the way.If you’re looking for a real estate professional who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Jamie Rekers and the Sweeten Group. Thank you for making our property search and purchase such a fantastic experience.

Helped me buy home • 2024

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Jamie Rekers and Kate Sweeten as our realtors. From start to finish, Jamie, Kate, and their team were outstanding. Jamie (the primary agent we worked with) was incredibly reliable, always available, and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. When a last-minute work schedule change forced us to reschedule three home tours in one day, Jamie didn’t miss a beat and made it happen seamlessly.Throughout the entire process, Jamie's communication was exceptional. She responded promptly to every question, kept us fully informed, and handled virtually all logistics, which made buying our first home so much less stressful and even enjoyable. Her diligence under contract was unmatched—she truly fought tooth and nail to secure us an incredible deal, and we ended up paying well below asking price.Jamie and Kate are a fantastic team. Kate stepped in whenever Jamie was unavailable, bringing the same level of friendliness, knowledge, and expertise. Working with her gave us confidence in our decision-making. Together, they offered sound recommendations and advice, broke down every part of the process, and left no stone unturned. By closing, we felt truly cared for and were blown away when they surprised us with a handwritten letter and a painting of our new home.We absolutely recommend Jamie, Kate, and the entire team to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Thank you for everything—you made our first home purchase very memorable and exciting. We will not hesitate to reach out to you for any future real estate needs!

We can’t say enough great things about Kate! We had been looking for a house for about 6 months on our own when we met her. She and Jamie found our dream home within 4 weeks! We are the type of family that doesn’t really like going to see houses but they made it stress-free and made us look forward to meeting them at each new house. They made us feel at ease through the entire process. We would recommend using Kate 100%!

Kate and her team were absolutely phenomenal. We were overwhelmed trying to sell our house while being out of state, but they took care of absolutely everything, and made the process so smooth for us. Our house was listed on 4/5 and we closed on 4/29 with multiple strong offers! We are so grateful to them for all their help with the quick sale of our house. Hands down, Kate and her team are the best in South Carolina!!

We listed our house with a different realtor and it sat on the market for 6 weeks. We listed it with Kate and she sold our house in 1 week. Her skills are excellent and second to none. I would use her again and recommend her to everyone that asks.

Listed and sold a home • 2022

Kate and her team are amazing and we would highly recommend them to anyone. We bought our house with her in 2018 and had a great experience, so when we needed to list our house, she was the obvious choice. She has great communication and is extremely professional. She and her team staged our house beautifully and had amazing photographs and videos done, all included in using her as a realtor. We listed the house on a weekend and by the end had 8 showings and 3 above asking offers. She is very knowledgeable about each detail of the contracts, and if she doesn’t know, she finds out. She is absolutely one of the best realtors I’ve ever experienced.

Listed and sold a home • 2022

Moving creates a stressful environment, and Kate removed stress from our lives in every possible way. She and her team staged our home for us and provided recommendations on upgrades prior to sale. Kate demonstrated confidence in her ability to sell our home, which she followed through on by selling our home in just 5 days - the quickest sale in our neighborhood in 6 months…during a rising interest rate environment when rates over doubled during that time period!Throughout the entire process, Kate was honest, responsive, and added value through her recommendations. Lastly, she added a personal touch with a gift recognizing the sale of our home.I would recommend Kate to anyone buying or selling a home. She truly values first class service!

Helped me buy home • 2022

I would recommend Kate, Perry Anne and team to anyone who asked! We purchased a home completely online and could not have asked for better, friendlier or more competent service. ALWAYS there to answer our questions and more knowledgeable than any realty company I have ever dealt with. They went to bat for us on several things & we came out on top because of it. You won't be disappointed choosing Kate Sweeten & company!
