Testimonials “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 “After having my house listed for four years, I listed my home with the Jonathan Vining, he gave me honest feedback on comps and what he felt was a fair market price. He was thorough with me on where my home would be listed, and the marketing he would put behind it. My house sold and closed within 60 days of listing.”— Jeff and Katie Holland, Sellers • Sebastian Cove “We found the PERFECT tract of land... but Lake Oconee is 3 hours from our home! Jonathan did everything possible for us to view the land without actually being there. He took many pictures for us, and he had a DRONE HELICOPTER fly over to give us an aerial view!“—Rob and Sally Bartlett, Buyers “Excellent and proactive communication. Regular updates and suggestions. Will definitely used them again in marketing our other REOs. Thank you very much Mr. Vining” —Sabal Financial Group, Erwin Reymundo, Seller • Reynolds Plantation “What I like most about Jonathan and Alyce was their constant feedback on your property versus comparable property selling in our area.
