I have nothing but good to say about Jeff. He put up with many dumb questions and requests on our end and did so... without hesitation. We just purchased out first property in Clear Creek and Jeff really took charge to make sure we got what we needed in regards to price / overall quality of property. He even scaled a falling in walk-way to the pier over the water so that he could verify water depth.Very solid service - Thanks Jeff and he luckily didn't fall in!read more

We began our home search at a time when there were many lake houses on the market. That changed quickly, as we watched... house after house sell before we could even make an offer. Jeff remained calm and positive. We learned so much from him about Smith Lake and what we really wanted. Jeff educated us so well that it kept us from settling on a house that was not really right for our family. When we lost the house of our dreams in a bidding war, he gave us a few days to breathe and then found a few more to look at. Of course we are thrilled with the house we ended up buying! Jeff is an outstanding buyer’s agent. He made what could have been a very stressful experience a real pleasure.read more

When my wife and I decided it was time to look for a vacation property on Smith Lake, we turned to the internet and up... came Smith Lake Rental and Sales. We found a few properties that looked interesting and requested more information. Jeff Thomas quickly responded and set up a time for a showing. But in addition, Jeff took the time to understand the type of property we were looking for and came up with several more properties based on our answers. That weekend showing ended up being 8 - 10 properties. Some we traveled to by car, some by Jeff's boat. It was a beautiful day on the lake and Jeff went out of his way to make sure all of our questions were answered. Jeff lists himself as a Buyer's agent and he lives up to that title! Throughout the entire we process, we viewed Jeff more as a trusted friend than an agent. Jeff was with us from start to finish advising, researching, and making recommendations. No matter what the question, Jeff knew who to call. We ended up looking at a property in the Windemere community. It was not one we would have considered otherwise, but looked at it based on Jeff's recommendation. We fell in love with the property and ended up buying it. Thank-you Jeff for hanging with us and making the whole process seem effortless and efficient!read more

Jeff did his job, and he did it well. He helped us find our dream house on Smith lake and, from what we now understand,... did it in record time. Some people take years to find just the right house. Start to finish-it took us less than 3 months. The house we ended up with would not even have been on our radar if it hadn’t been for Jeff finding it. He was always happy to chaperone us all over the lake and keep us from getting lost. He saved us a lot of potentially wasted time and tactfully steered away from several losers. Even when Jeff was out of town he arrange for another member of his staff to get us into a few places we wanted to see. When negotiations got a little testy with the seller, Jeff’s advice proved to be accurate and timely.read more

We loved working with Jeff. He was very patient as he taught us about the lake and helped us find what we really... wanted. He’s a friendly, knowledgeable, good hearted realtor who wanted us to get our perfect place, even if it meant more work for him. He knows the area and continues to be a great resource.read more

Jeff was very patient while showing me many properties on the lake. At the end of a long day of looking he was still... willing to see one more, which turned out to be the one! Then he continued to be very helpful throughout the buying process, and afterward as well.read more

We started working with Jeff almost 2 years ago and on our first visit with him he took time to drive us around the... lake in his boat to look at lots. Based on our budget, we weren't seeing a lot of options we were willing to settle on. Jeff knew what we were looking for and promised us that if we were patient we would find it. We had kind of given up on the idea of buying a lake lot, and just before Christmas Jeff called about a lot he felt was a deal. Turns out it was and we purchased it. This is all new to us and Jeff has been a huge help through the whole process. Jeff knows Smith Lake and is a super nice guy willing to provide professional and personal service. Can't recommend him any higher!read more
