John and Kathy have worked tirelessly to assist us with buying and selling houses. They have been available to assist and answer questions in the evening and weekends. They communicated with us long after the closing, when most agents would seem to disappear.
Thank you both for all that you do.

You couldn't ask for a nicer and more helpful realtor. John has sold 3 houses for us and all sold very quickly. Advice, pictures, details were very valuable and everything was done efficiently.

John went the extra mile for my wife and I as we searched for land to build our dream home. He found property before we even asked to him to look for property. He has insisted to be present at every meeting with the seller as well the builders of our new home to be our advocate. He has been very good to us and I have no doubt that he will continue to be.

John was our real estate agent for our first home purchase and I cannot wait to deal with him again when we begin looking for our forever home. He was patient with while we looked at multiple options around Columbia and very honest with us about balancing what we wanted in a house against the market condition and desired location. After we found our house, John was essential in negotiating our contract as well as dealing with loan processing issues that arose during the closing phase. He was always quick to respond to any of our questions and concern - most of which came after business hours. We cannot recommend him enough!

Mr. Boozer is very experienced in keeping up with established and emerging trends in the Columbia housing market. He listens to your wants needs and desires and helps you get to where you want to be. He helped us buy our house and when it be ame time to leave... he helped us sell our house. His suggestions for getting our house ready for the market were insightful and in keeping with what prospective buyers were wanting. His valuation of the house after refurbishment were accurate for the neighborhood and market. Mr. Boozer utilized all of the tools at his disposal to effectively market our house and ensure that the maximum amount of prospective buyers saw it and visited during open house. Mr. Boozer's knowledge and expertise helped us get a fair price for our house in a cooling market. If you are looking to buy or sell a house... you want John Boozer on your side.

Working with John was a breeze! His knowledge of the area was exactly what we needed to list our house at the right price. He was able to drum up a lot of interest even got us a cash offer in our first week on the market! We felt so lucky to have someone so dedicated helping us sell while we were out of state. He even worked with our renters to make sure they were never uncomfortable throughout the process. We would 100% recommend working with John & would use him for any of our real estate needs in the future!

John has become like a member of our family with how caring and personable he was in our search for a home. He answered our questions and guided us through the process of being first time home buyers. We recommend him to all of our friends in the area!

John is the epitome of a caring, dutiful, and thorough realtor! As a home buyer, John went out of his way to find homes that both fit our price range and our dreams. As an attorney, who has worked with John on several occasions, there is nobody better to walk you through the complicated process of home ownership. John's understanding of both real estate and the home loan process far exceeds that of your average realtor. I have recommended John's services to both close friends and clients, and would absolutely do it again!

My experience with John Boozer was 5-star! John was most responsive, kept me well informed and did a great job matching me with a complementary buyer. I received the price I needed, the buyer got a good deal too. Every step of the transaction flowed smoothly thanks to John's service. Additionally, John has followed-up several times to assure my satisfaction. I offer John the highest recommendation without reservation.

My husband and I were relocating to Charlotte from Raleigh. Not familiar with the area, we were reluctant and stressed about the move and nervous we wouldn't find our perfect home! We were so thankful to have the help of John Boozer when relocating! If you are looking for a realtor locally or need help finding one, call John. Professional, responsive and an all around nice guy!

My husband and I highly recommend using John Boozer for any of your real estate needs! When reaching out to him for a referral in the Raleigh NC area, he responded promptly with a recommendation based on what our needs were. We could not be happier with the referral John Boozer sent us and thank him for making our experience in buying/selling a home seamless!

John helped me complete a 2nd move in record time this year! Even brought me packing boxes and located someone to help me pack up up and downsize! It was a whirlwind but he helped me get it all done in 30 days-whew!

Anyone moving to the area would be well served to use John as his/her realtor. He is the consummate professional! I had a strict time line to make my move from out of state and somehow John was able to navigate it all for me so that I could focus on starting work and getting a home too. He has helped me even after the sale to access community services. He went way above and beyond expectations. I would trust anyone he recommends. John also helped me remain calm and advocated for my interests and well being throughout the home buying process. You couldn't find anyone better to put your trust in where home ownership is the goal!

John was the best when it came to selling our home. He was super knowledgable of the market. He was great with helping after the contract with the home inspections, finding and closing on our new home. We would recomend he and Cathy and use them again if needed.

John Boozer is the best! He listened to what we wanted--& didn't want! He pointed out benefits & potential problems for numerous areas all around Columbia. He worked with our difficult timeline & showed us houses that fit exactly what we were looking for AND that were better than what we thought we could buy. He worked well with seller's agent for an unbelievably fast closing. He's the best Realtor we have ever dealt with. Hands down. No Contest! Send your mother to him: she'll love you even more than she does now!
