My husband and I were pretty new to the home selling process but choosing Carol to be our realtor was hands-down the best decision we could have made. Our home was located in an established community near the University of Georgia but had several large upgrades that separated it from others in the neighborhood. Carol highlighted these features beautifully in the listing and advised us to price it just right to gain the full value of our upgrades. With her guidance, an exceptional open house, and her timing of the market, we sold for over $25k above our list price. After we were under contract, Carol stayed in close communication and was always available to answer questions or provide updates. Throughout the entire process, Carol was always professional and determined to represent our best interests. I highly recommend Carol to anyone who is looking to sell their home.

Carol was amazing throughout the entire process and did whatever she could to make sure we got the house we wanted. Her knowledge and ability were vital in getting us to closing, no matter how many obstacles to closing showed up. She was very nice and polite, and kept us informed of everything that was happening as soon as she could. If we go to sell this house, or buy another one, we’ll be asking Carol first.

My wife and I were looking for a livable fixer-upper with enough land to build a large detached garage. After Carol patiently showed us several homes that weren’t quite right, we found a home that needed some updates but already had a shop for my DIY projects. Carol was great about guiding us to make a wise financial decision instead of an emotional one. She crafted an attractive offer which the seller accepted out of several. Later on, she negotiated with the seller for the repair of a major home inspection item. We’re happy in our new home and glad Carol was our agent.

After making extensive renovations to what we thought was our forever home, a great new career opportunity presented itself and we needed to move.  Carol did an excellent job of marketing our home and highlighting the extensive upgrades.  Our home sold above list price,  and at a considerably higher price than other homes recently sold in our community.  I’m very pleased with Carol’s service to us in the sale of our home.   She went above and beyond our expectations, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with!

I was a first-time home buyer looking for a condo within my budget.   Carol helped me get prequalified with a lender and then guided my search to find a great condo.  After the condo was under contract, she helped me save money by negotiating with the seller on an inspection item.  I was very pleased with the experience.

I have been actively involved in the community development, residential construction, and real estate sales industry for over 35 years. During that time, only small handful of individuals stand out as good people and true experts in their field. Mike Guinan is very clearly on that list. When I met Mike, he was running a very successful residential construction company, firing on all cylinders. A huge part of that company’s success was Mike’s ability to connect with his clients on a personal level and to focus on fulfilling their needs. Mike fully understands customer service, putting his clients first and most importantly, accomplishing the collective goals and objectives of everyone around him.

I would not hesitate one moment in having Mike and Carol Guinan and the Fortress team represent me as a seller, buyer, or even as a general real estate advisor.

We closed on our new home today. Mike and Carol went above and beyond to help us find a great home in a tough market. I can’t imagine going through this process without them. Thanks so much for your help.
