Several years ago, Michael found us a house that was very similar to what we told him we wanted. We're now listing that same house with Michael and will probably buy another one in the same area and will ask him to help us again with that purchase. We find him to be trustworthy and sincere. He always goes above and beyond what is usually expected of a realtor.
- Doug and Sherry Sauer

With few buyers and many competing properties, Michael is number one with us as he not only sold our house he has sold investment lots for us. His knowledge of the local market allows him to provide a terrific service to buyers and this means if there is a buyer out there, they will likely work with Michael.
- Tom and Beth Krueger

Michael Sherard worked with us in buying a house in Savannah Lakes Village in South Carolina. He was very knowledgeable of the area & very much in tune to our desires & needs. He ended up showing us a house that was not even his listing because he felt it would suit our wishes. This was the house we bought. He was very much an advocate for us in our negotiations, going above & beyond what we ever could have expected him to do. He was quick to respond to our questions. No matter what we needed, Michael was able to point us to people who we felt confident with. He helped us through the buying process with ease & helped us secure our dream home quickly. From the very first conversation with Michael, we felt that he was a sincere, genuine & honest person. We feel honored to know Michael & privileged to have met him. We consider Michael a friend.

Michael Sherard is truly a professional in every sense of the word. He works keeping in mind his sellers but will do his utmost in finding you, the buyer, the house of your dreams. Michael has more positive energy than anyone we know as evidenced by the past couple of years of downturn in the economy and house sales. He's always looking for ways to enhance the real estate experience; he goes the extra mile by keeping abreast of computer programs. He forwards information to the buyers and sellers regarding sales in the area, activity on houses and has recently signed up with yet another on-line sales tool in an attempt to widen his sales area. House sales in SLV remain in a slump but thanks to Michael he has helped us to maintain our home in our absence, and has been our liaison between us and our renters.

Michael is an outstanding realtor. He helped me buy and sell a lake lot as well as a home. His local knowledge is top rate and he goes the extra mile to make sure both the buyer and seller are completely satisfied. We also received exceptional service from his full time assistant (his mother Dot), who was very responsive to our needs when Michael had a time conflict.
- Bob and Cathy Hanson

We bought a lot from Michael in 1994 and subsequently built. We now have my mother’s house listed with Michael. He is honest, hardworking and dependable.. My wife and I would highly recommend Michael.

If you're looking for a really great agent, Michael is the one. He is very attentive to you as the buyer. He will make every attempt to make the searching and buying process as easy as possible. Call Michael, you won't be disappointed!!!!
- Bill Norris

Michael Sherard found us our lake lot, negotiated a great price for us, and helped us settle the deal; we have recommended him to several people relocating here and he has always been a wonderful agent for them. We always send people to him.. He is known around here as being the gold standard of real estate agents. He is honest, open, prudent, easy going, personable, absolutely trustworthy, a master at negotiation, fair, knowledgeable, a skilled researcher, and can close a deal whether you are selling or buying with him, or both. We have known Michael and his family for about ten years, and we socialize and visit with them frequently. He is from this area (his several-greats grandfather arrived here in about 1770), and knows well the culture and history, and he can point you any any direction you want, whether to find a fine wine, a great restaurant, a park, a festival, and of course all the top real estate buys.

We have known and worked with Michael since the mid. 1990's. He is extremely knowledgeable, very honest and always professional. He has helped us with several purchases of lots and our townhouse. He has always been the "go to Realtor" in the entire Savannah Lakes Village area---for both buyers and sellers. All of the other local realtors and appraisers turn to him for his expertise and long term knowledge. Would we recommend Michael? Absolutely!!!
- Larry & Pam O'Grady

I recently listed my mother’s home with Mike because of his reputation as the real estate agent who manages to get things sold in Savannah Lakes Village. I have known him for over ten (10) years and am pleased to recommend him professionally.

In early 2008, I had the sheer good fortune of coming into contact with Theresa Bryan.  I found her web site on the Internet when I was in the "market" for some waterfront property in the Southeast.  I had done a lot of research before I "met" Theresa online, and having her input was a total asset to me.  Not only was she informative and very down to earth, she was so much fun to work with also!

Theresa and her wonderful husband Bob eventually found us an incredible lot on Lake Greenwood, SC.  It was a "hidden" treasure, and with their persistence to find me exactly what I was looking for, my husband and I ended buying what we think is one of the prettiest spots on a lake we've ever seen.  Theresa went to great lengths to ensure that we were well informed about the lake....she even did her homework into the wee hours.  Nothing was too much trouble for her.  I felt that her zealousness was not just about selling a lot....but she truly wanted to find the BEST lot for us.....as friends!!  Theresa's negotiation skills are second to none, and I had faith in that she would help me accomplish what I set out to obtain....a fabulous piece of property and a tremendous deal!!  She did not disappoint!!  

As it turns out, Theresa and I have become the best of friends.  I presently live in Southern California with my husband and our 2 dogs, but we are looking forward to building our dream home on Lake Greenwood, and having Theresa and Bob Bryan as "neighbors" one day....!!!  Funny how things work out in life!

So the bottom line?  Theresa and Bob are the best.  They both have high integrity and they really do their research for a potential client.  I wouldn't consider using anybody else as a realtor in the Southeast.  They are extreme professionals and they are both class acts.  Who could ask for anything more?

Sincerely,

 We had searched for waterfront property throughout the south from Florida to South Carolina until we met Bob & Theresa Bryan.  We were impressed with their knowledge and experience during our initial telephone contact.  They very aptly assessed our needs and what we were looking for.  When we visited Savannah Lakes, they spent an entire day with us showing properties first by land and then by water.  They were beautifully prepared with packets that included information sheets on each property, maps and brochures about SLV.  We found the property we had been searching for thanks to Bob and Theresa!  Their professionalism and friendly approach was on a level we had not experienced with other realtors.  We were so impressed that we have referred several relatives and friends to them, all of whom have shared our wonderful experience.

 Hi, my husband and I are Realtors in the Augusta Georgia area. We had been looking for lake property on Thurmond Lake for over a year when we decided we did not have the expertise in that area or the scope of knowledge we needed to find what we had our heart was  set on buying. After talking with Bob and Theresa Bryan at Savannah River Realty, an appointment was set & our adventure began. Within a few hours we knew for sure that the Bryan’s really understood our vision. We walked lots of lots but none jumped out at us. Bob and Theresa  told us not to rush into anything, but wait until they could come up with that perfect lot. It was just a few weeks later that we got the phone call asking us to meet them on the lake to look at what they believed to be the perfect waterfront lot for us. They could not have been more right. What we had been searching for almost a year and could not find, they found in a few weeks. Their professionalism shined through, but most of all they took the stress off of us and created an adventure we will not soon forget.
With so much gratitude
