Testimonials

This is by far the best realty team I have encountered since my purchase and sale of 10 homes starting in 1973. Tara and her entire team are personable, professional and highly competent. Tara is very knowledgeable of the local real estate market and knows how to get the best value for your listing. My property needed an extensive upgrade before it could go on the market. Tara identified the areas that needed upgrading and repair and provided names of high-quality and reasonably priced tradesmen. This was a major renovation project. Tara and her assistant, Taryn, scheduled and monitored contractor performance for me. Their project management skills ...

Olive and Oak is a realty service that is not only professional, but also personal. The agent helped me navigate the sale of my home while I was dealing with medical challenges and offered to help in ways that made the sale of my home an easy, seamless process. I highly recommend this business for anyone needing to sell or purchase a home.
— L. Gibson
We worked with Elisa and she was fantastic. The process was so smooth and I appreciated the communication throughout since we no longer lived in town during this sale.
— Donielle L.
Elisa made everything about the process easy for a first time homebuyer. Her knowledge, experience, research, kindness, and sincerity were invaluable. I truly felt like I had someone looking out for me instead of only trying to close a deal.
— Tony H.
Kristi was an absolute treasure to work with. She priced our house exactly where it needed to be, and she sold it in two days. Kristi was always diligent and prompt in answering our questions and concerns. All the way through the process, from listing our home through closing with the buyer, her level of professionalism was top notch. Somewhere during the process, Kristi transformed from our real estate agent to our friend. I can give her my full recommendation with no hesitation. We will not do another real estate transaction without having Kristi as our agent.
— Mike D.
Kristi went above and beyond to help me through the home-buying process. She never made me feel less than and continuously provided support, encouragement, and knowledge. She made this journey an amazing and empowering experience. I am so blessed that I was able to work with her and find my dream home!
— Kayla K.
One word: amazing. Amazing company, amazing service, amazing real estate knowledge, amazing people, and amazing experience. Megan, thank you for what you did every day to make sure we were a priority. There is no other agency I could ever recommend more.
— Kyle Y.
We had a great and seamless experience with Olive + Oak. Megan was very helpful and responsive for all of our needs and really made the overwhelming process of buying a home simple.
— Christian B.
What a fantastic realtor and team we had with Kristi Hardin and Olive + Oak! They took time to walk us through every step and always made sure we didn’t leave any meetings with questions unanswered. As a military family that was moved overseas, there was peace of mind knowing our home was in good hands!
— Arianna H.
Elisa was my realtor and she did an amazing job, couldn't have done it without her! Highly recommend this group to help you buy or sell your home!
— Cassy W.
Sold our house in 3 weeks. They did an awesome job, and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks for all your help keep up the great work.
— Timothy M.
After several friends recommended Tara to list our home, we thought she must be great, but that doesn’t even begin to describe Tara and her team! They were all so helpful in walking us through the entire process of selling a home for the first time. They answered questions before we even had to ask them, stayed in constant communication with us, and made sure we got the best price for our home. I couldn’t recommend Tara and her team enough!
— Karah B.
My husband and I used Olive + Oak eXp Realty, The Still Group to assist us in the process of downsizing our home and purchasing a new smaller home. This was the third transaction that we've completed with Tara Still, two home sales and one previous purchase. Tara worked efficiently through the process of getting our home listed and did so with such efficiency that we received an offer on day one and were under contract by day two. Tara researched and understood the market and area in which our home was located and made sure we were able to sell quickly while maximizing our return. While Tara focused on the sale of our home, we worked with Erika Wied...

I cannot say enough good things about Megan McDougal and her attention she showed to my son during his homebuying process. While I was a "mother hen," I really did not need to be with Megan by my son's side. She walked him through every step from beginning to end. When the process became challenging, she offered so much encouragement and kept pressing on. There was a time when he wanted to stop everything and go a different direction, but Megan redirected his sight and helped him find the most perfect home for him. Great things come to those who are patient and trust the process. This is 100% evident in this case. Home after home he viewed, but for ...
— Cindy S.
Worked with Meghan McDougal. Stellar skills in advisory with a willingness to fight hard for her client to ensure that you are covered in every aspect as a buyer!
— Chandler S.
We cannot say enough good things about Tara and her team. You won’t outwork these girls, I promise you. Personally, we don’t trust anyone except Tara with these important transactions.
— Ron B.
Tara and her team at Olive and Oak are great to work with. We have bought and sold several properties with them and would highly recommend. They are attentive and will listen to your wants and needs in the home selling and buying process.
— Josh J.
Working with Elisa was amazing! She was patient, attentive, and responsive. Her knowledge and expertise made the entire buying process extremely easy for me. By far the best realtor I have worked with, and I will definitely be reaching out to her again for any future home-buying or selling needs I may have.
— Joshua
Where to begin? Me and my husband were on the hunt for our first home! We are expecting so finding a home had a little more meaning. Rachel was so patient, and personal and walked us through this entire process. She advocated for us when we didn’t know how to and was there for us when we needed her day or night. I would recommend this company and Rachel to anyone looking to buy a home in any market. Our experience has gotten us a home we can start a family in and I am so grateful for everything she has done for us.
— Helen K.
Olive + Oak Realty were amazing! Nicole was very professional and went above and beyond. Any questions I had about the process, she responded in a timely manner. Top-notch realtor! I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and family.
