This is the second time we have worked with Sue Patterson and she was just as great as she was when she helped me purchase my first home. Sue listened to what we were looking for in a home and didnt show us anything less than. She made this a smooth process in a tough market and goes above and beyond! She is such a caring person and I couldnt have asked for more in realtor! Highly recommend!!
Hope Williams helped us buy a rental property from several states away. She made it incredibly easy to navigate a complicated sale. she treated us like family. She was very communicative, responsive and definitely went the extra mile to ensure we were making a safe purchase. HIGHLY recommend her as your next realtor!
Always great professional service from Golden Key Property Management. Their team has always gone above and beyond in helping us and in taking care of us and our tenants while we were renting out our home. We will definitely choose them if we ever rent our home again!
My husband and I recently sold our home through Golden Key Realty. Lakisha McMichael was our realtor and might I say she was the BEST!! She was always there to answer our calls and any questions we had. She was patient and thorough every step of the way. There aren’t enough stars to say how great of an experience we had with her. We are so grateful and thankful for her. Contact her and she will get the job done!! Thanks Lakisha for all your help!! We truly appreciate you!!
Chelsea Edenfield took amazing care of us! We didn’t have a worry in the world selling our house. And she answered all of our questions without hesitation (even the crazy ones). She took pride in selling our house and everything went very smoothly. I will recommend her to everyone! Thanks Golden Key and Chelsea!
Sue Patterson at Golden Key Realty was amazing both during our search for a home and the sale of our current one!! We couldnt have been more pleased. She was attentive and patient and quick to respond and answer any questions and/or provide information. Couldnt have done it without her! 10/10 recommend. Thank you Sue and Golden Key!!
My boyfriend and I could not be more appreciative of Tammy Giles for her help in navigating us through our first home buying process. Moving nearly 600 miles to a different part of the country in the midst of an awful buyers market was incredibly intimidating-but Tammy was to the point in what we needed to do to get the home we wanted. We absolutely love the home she led us to and couldn’t be more thankful.
Lakisha was very great throught the proccess. She answered all my questions i had , as a first time homebuyer. She was always available to go look at a house for me. And she was even there after i purchased to help make sure the move in went smoothly. Would reccomend.
We literally had the best “new build” buying experience ever! If you can choose, ask for Chelsea Edenfield!!! She is absolutely incredible!! We are a military family and had to buy a home in Warner Robins BEFORE moving from Charleston. We met Chelsea and the first day she assured us that there was nothing to worry about. She earned our trust so much the first day that we ended up letting her choose many of the options in the home since we weren’t there. She FaceTimed us EVERYDAY to a point where I had to tell her she could relax a little (i felt like she spent every second of her day making sure we were taken care of). The dedication that she showed us forced our relationship from business to friendship! Having her assigned to us as a realtor was the biggest blessing we could have ever asked for during this home buying process. I really wish every realtor took her motivation, dedication, focus, and pride in their clients. I think everyone can learn from someone like Chelsea, not just realtors. She truly embodies the core value of “Excellence in All We Do!” Even during her surgery, she made sure we were taken care of. This woman is just....incredible! Golden Key Realty definitely needs to give her a raise or at least put her face on the billboard out front of the office or something. You all are seriously lucky to have someone like her on the team. #TeamChelsea
I have been working with Lakisha McMichael now for the past 6 months on finding an investment property that met my criteria. I have worked with several real estate agents over the years and you will not find an agent more responsive, hardworking or knowledgeable than Lakisha. She always gives you advice and information thats in your best interest. Whether you are buying your first home or you are looking to invest Lakisha should be your agent.
Lakisha McMichael was our agent. She went above and beyond guiding us through the process. She went the extra mile to address all of the questions or concerns we had that played a critical role in our timely closing. She was very professional and accommodating to our unique needs. I highly recommend her and we will definitely utilize her again if we sell or buy... Shes a keeper...
LaKisha was the best and so helpful throughout the whole experience! We were overwhelmed because this was our first home but, LaKisha made the process so easy. She always had our best interest and made sure everything was right. She’s the best agent at Golden Key and we were so grateful to have her as our agent!
My agent Lakisha McMichael is absolutely a jewel! She is patient, professional and passionate. She was committed to finding me my perfect home while staying within my budget. She went beyond her agent responsibilities to really make me feel like I was not just a customer, but a priority. And even after I closed on my home she still checked on me to ensure that all was well with me and my now home. Lakisha is amazing. I am grateful for her confidence, character and concern. And Im proud to now call her friend!
This is our 3rd experience with GKR. Every single one has been outstanding. Kathy Balletto and Tara Phillips provided excellent service. Willing to talk and answer questions anytime even after hours. Attention to detail is unmatched. Will definitely use and recommend Golden Key to anyone!
The best thing that happened to me was having Ava Wilson at Golden Key as my agent. I trusted her and her opinion as to what needed to be done to the house to get the best value. She was constantly there for support and keeping me abreast of where we where in the selling process. Her staging of the house was fabulous. The first day the house was on the market, I had four offers and a contract to buy the next day. This would not have happened if not for Ava Wilson. She and Golden Key are highly recommended by me.
LaKisha McMichael was wonderful to work with. She was incredibly sweet and attentive to our needs and requests. I dont know how she did it but she always made us feel like we were her only clients although we know she was very busy. The kids loved her and she was there to offer help with whatever we needed. Being new home buyers we had a lot of anxiety, knowing we had Kisha in our corner made us feel at ease. Profesional, accommodating, and knowledgeable with a keen eye for the small details. We couldnt have asked for a better experience. LaKisha McMichael and Golden Key are definitely the way to go if you’re in the market.
Mrs Chastain, is a highly professional real estate agent. She is very experienced. She knows everything about selling a house. Due to her suggestions and hard work, I sold my property in a very short time. Most of all, she has a great personality, very friendly and patient. It was truly a pleasure having her as my real estate agent. I will recommend her to anyone who is selling their home. Thank you dSo much. God Bless! Randy and Rita Ingram
My wife and I decided to sell one of our Rental Properties. Deciding on a Realtor company was easy being that we have done business with Golden Key for years.We decided to go with LaKisha McMicheals and she was a true professional. I don’t know how she manages her life as a wife, mother, and realtor. But we felt like we were her only client as she stayed on top of everything. Kept us informed and not waiting or guessing during the process and had no issues contacting her Via text messages, emails , or meetings as she was always on time and quick to respond.Thanks for everything Mrs. McMicheals!T.G.4.L
I had a wonderful experience using Golden Key Realty. Lakisha Mcmichael is an awesome realtor! We were able to sell and purchase at the same time. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had no matter the day or hour. Im so grateful to have had her as my realtor. She made my familys dreams come true. Thanks Lakisha for all your time, patience and dedication to this process.
Lakisha McMichael is hands down the best agent Ive ever worked with (1 out of 4, by a long shot - to be clear)! She was friendly, communicative, and ahead of the curve with everything. Not only did she find us a great house, she recommended a very good lender, and personally ensured our home closed on time - thats not an overstatement, she had to make more than a couple phone calls to keep everything on time for a short escrow. I absolutely recommend Lakisha McMichael with Golden Key Realty.
I have had the pleasure of working with Kathy Balletto at Golden Key Realty for the purchase of two homes within the last four years. She has always been prompt, courteous and professional with all parties involved. She remains available when needed and is one of the most caring individuals I have ever met. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
We recently moved out of a home we had rented through Golden Key Realty so I thought Id leave a review for any prospective renters. Sue Patterson was the agent we initially went through and she is a true professional. She was flexible with meeting/showing times, was very kind and helpful and always responsive to emails and phone calls. 100% recommend her. Then, after we leased the home, the great service continued. We never had problems with the home, it was a great place, but when we had small issues, like having a faucet replaced or having maintenance done, it was always handled immediately by qualified and very likeable folks. I never had one opportunity to complain about Golden Key Realty or their contractors. All of the staff was always helpful and nice, any maintenance workers were as well. If we ever moved back to middle GA I would not even consider another realty company.
Going to “expound” on my experiences at the request of the business, but don’t expect anything will be done about it. Not gonna give all the details of my experience because GKR has already wasted enough of my time.This happened a couple of years ago but still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. My fiancée and I were looking to rent from GKR. Made an appointment and the lady basically forgot about us. She was quick to show up after we called tho so didn’t think much of it.Anyway we looked at the house, were interested and ready to apply and put the deposit down. Before we went through the process, we asked the lady if there had been any others who applied. We asked this because we wanted to know whether we might need to plan a contingency in case it got rented to a previous applicant first. The lady even called the office to check, and we were reassured no one had applied. Put in the app and paid the fee that same day. $50 bucks each.So we wait and wait, thinking this is pretty much a done deal and they’re trying to tie things up with the owner. Two weeks with NO COMMUNICATION WHATSOEVER. Finally decided to call and found out that THE HOUSE WAS RENTED TO SOMEONE ELSE. NO effort to contact us and let us know. NO indication that we weren’t approved, or even that we WERE approved to rent a house from them. I mean A BIG FAT NOTHING.By this point we were screwed because we had maybe a couple of weeks before our current lease went up. We actually told the lady this and she reassured us, but then apparently forgot about us again. I’m not going to call her out specifically because this was clearly an error by GKR as a whole, though she did play a big part.We ended up having to renew at the place we were staying before because GOLDEN KEY’S COMMUNICATION WAS GARBAGE. This ended up costing us more than the rent of the house we applied for. The interest we got after finding out seemed perfunctory, with the lady apologizing and saying we could try for another house they had listed. No interest whatsoever when we weren’t biting on a house that cost $200 more per month and was bigger than we even needed. We could have paid for it but GKR annihilated any trust we had in their competency.I get stuff happens. I really do. What I don’t get is how you simply forget about customers who have paid you for a service. If I was any pettier I’d be strongly tempted to litigate based on promissory estoppel, as we depended on GKR to come thru based on their reassurances, and they failed MISERABLY, putting us in a bad position.Guess we didn’t make enough of an impression to be worth remembering to GKR. That’s okay though, because GKR made a big impression on me. So much so that we will be going out of our way to ensure that GKR doesn’t make another single PENNY off of us in any realty transactions we have in the future. Hope you really enjoy that $100 cause you earned yourself a lifelong opponent.
Dianne Bryant made the selling process incredibly easy and took extra steps to ensure a quick sale. She was very professional through out and always available to answer any questions or concerns. Dianne did a phenomenal job selling my house in Macon. I consider her my friend and would highly recommend her.
Choose no other than Chelsea! She is AMAZING! As young, first time home buyers on a time line, we were hesitant for the buying process, and had a lot to learn. We discovered Chelsea on google, and loved the good reviews. We decided to take the chance, and will forever be grateful we chose GKR, but more specifically, Chelsea Edenfield.Chelsea made an appointment with us the same day we called her (November 5). Within a couple of days, she showed us multiple homes. November 9, we put in an offer on our dream home. (Yes, only 5 days from the first appointment) We officially CLOSED on our DREAM home December 10.The process was quick and she made it SO understandable. We both work night shift, and she made sure to accommodate that schedule with 8am appointments and 10pm text messages/phone calls. She was so open to what we liked and didn’t like, and really listened to our preferences, and in turn, we bought the FIRST house she showed us. She is beyond easy to talk to, and understand. Upon our first appointment, it was quickly noticeable that she has been in her profession for a while, and is very knowledgeable about real estate and the housing market. She told us that her commitment was our satisfaction and happiness, even if we didn’t choose her (how genuine!) She genuinely showed that commitment through every step of the process.When showing houses, she even remembered our preferences and pointed out things we may like, or thing we may need to pay attention to. She pays so much attention to detail and has great knowledge on home design and layouts, in addition. Every step of the way, she knew what was next, and even had recommendations for people locally that we could contact for every step of the process. There was never a moment we had to figure anything out ourselves or were left without understanding. Even with the smallest questions, or things we didn’t understand, she made sure to be open with communication. What could have been such an overwhelming process easily turned into the simplest, most organized, and stress free encounter. She is one of the (if not the) sweetest, genuine, most relatable, and honest people you’ll ever meet, being your agent is just a plus! I am confident that this is her craft. PLEASE, #choosechelsea
Selling my house was a wonderful experience. Sue Patterson went above and beyond to make sure we were informed every step of the way. She was professional and very knowledgeable about every aspect of the buying and selling process. I would highly recommend this company and this agent when you are in the market to buy or sell a home.
I had the most awesome experience with them.They listed my home and I received an over asking price offer within a week! During that process and the process of buying my new place, they were very thorough and timely in their responses. It was an arduous process dealing with the bank and they explained every step and went above and beyond in helping the process along. You really get the feeling that they love people and love what they do. Gwen and Hope are a magnificent team!
We had a great experience using this company. They are very prompt in the rental department. Everything was always fixed in a timely manor and the staffing is great. We decided to also move forward with buying a home with them because they were so great. We got so lucky that we we’re aloud to work with Brooke for our rental property and in our journey in finding our forever home. Brooke was determined, patient, and very understanding to our needs through the hole process. She went above and beyond. I just want to say how greatful we were to have her and say thank you for all her hard work!
Tara is amazing! She has worked non-stop for us to ensure we got into a home that worked our family. We recently moved to GA from out of state and had to do everything over the phone and internet and she made everything so easy! She went above and beyond for us from the second she took my call. I highly recommend Tara! She is professional, hard working, and a wonderful person to work with!
I am a first time homeowner and had the honor of working with Lakisha McMichael. Its important to know that I had ABSOLUTELY no experience or guidence in the process of purchasing a home prior to working with Lakisha, and was kind of like a deer in headlights with no idea where to start or how this entire dream of owning my own home would turn out. I didnt know what I wanted or what I initially could afford. Lakisha was very understanding of my short comings and guided me through the entire process. She answered all my questions in an extremely timely manner, took notes of my likes and dislikes, and would show me homes from dawn to dusk if necessary. When I finally decided to have a contractor build my home, Lakisha showed up to every appointment and was very attentive to the smallest of details to make sure I got every selection I chose for my home. She even kept note and followed up with the builder to remind them of selections on my behalf. I honestly cannot imagine going through this experience without her. I felt as if everything was handled EXACTLY as I wanted and I am extremely grateful to Lakisha McMichael for the due diligence she took during this process. I HIGHLY recommend Lakisha McMichael with Golden Key Realty in Warner Robins, Georgia.
I’ve contacted this place several times about a home that’s listed for rent. I was told by the listing agent that it was Available and to put my application in. I never heard back from anyone so I called in and I was told it wasn’t Available however all other homes are being removed from the site but this one remains listed as available a week later as of now. So I call again, I’m told it’s rented. I had a coworker who’s white call and she’s given details about how available it is 🤔. So after hearing her call I call back immediately and I’m told AGAIN that it’s not available. The application fee was only 40 but that’s money I could still have if only they would list on their site that there’s a “skin color” requirement to rent from them.-Signed a black woman!
Buying a home can be a very stressful, especially when you’re buying a home out of state during a pandemic when travel is limited. Chelsea Edenfield made this the most fun and enjoyable experience possible! She went above and beyond to take pictures, videos, and would always face time us so we could see the progress of our home being built. Her communication was flawless, and her professionalism was top notch!! So grateful to have her during this experience.
I want to appreciate all the hard work Brooke did with me and my fiance. We were first time homeowners and she helped us ALL THE WAY! We will be forever grateful. She was very attentive to our details and made all the process smooth. Extraordinary maintaining communication. It was worth it.
Margie did a great job helping us not only buy a house, but also sell a house. I probably had questions every single day and she answered all of them when they arose. She was friendly and so helpful! She went above and beyond for us!Thanks so much Margie! We love our new home!
My experience from start to finish was AWESOME. I cant say enough about Ashleigh Haller, her professional attributes as a realtor ranks 5 plus STARS. Then her personal side as a true person, AMAZING. Thank you Ashleigh for everything. Golden Key Realty youre TOP NOTCH, Ashleigh got the jobs done in less than a month, I sold my house and purchased a home, closed both on the same day. I am still shocked but very pleased and satisfied. I have been referring Golden Key Realty to everyone. KUDOS....I cant thank Ashleigh enough. GREAT JOB GKR.
We used Margie at Golden Key Realty to help us purchase a home while living out of state. Margie was super professional, responsive and extremely knowledgable about the area. We are very pleased with the support we received and will be returning to Golden Key in the future for all of our realty needs!
I had the opportunity to work with Lisa Corley through Golden Key Realty and she was awesome!! She held my hand through the whole process and keep me motivated. I honestly felt like she had my best interest at all times. I love love love her spirit and I recommend this real estate agency.
Margie Stachursky was our realtor. She made our experience purchasing a new home construction seem like a piece of cake all during the covid-19 pandemic. She always responded promptly to text or phone calls. She was very professional. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family. She us hands down 1 of the best in Middle Ga.
Awesome! I love Golden Key Realty and highly recommend Kathy Balletto and her team! They have helped me buy three personal residences, and even helped me get into the rental business. Kathy is highly professional and very knowledgeable about the Houston County area. I definitely reconmend for seasoned buyers or first-time buyers alike!
My wife and I were first time home buyers, and we didn’t know anything about the homebuying process...But, the selection of Lakisha McMichael as a realtor was the best decision that we could have made. From day one, she helped us every step of the way. Lakisha was very attentive to our interests, concerns, and questions and thorough with explanations for each step of the process. She was dependable, stayed in constant communication, and was very quick with follow-ups. Lakisha’s professionalism, demeanor, and personality made it so easy to work with her. She has a rolodex full of people to help as well. If we needed an airplane pilot to fly us to closing, we are sure she would know who to call. LOL! This experience could have been nerve-racking, but Lakisha kept her cool which made us feel at ease. We highly recommend Lakisha McMichael for any of your realty needs!
Gwen Giles and Hope Williams were immensely helpful throughout the listing and selling process. They helped out in so many ways! Great knowledge of the local real estate market, preparing me for what timeline and offers to expect. Ive used them twice and gotten quick, fair sales each time. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
If you are a house owner and looking to rent your property out dont ask for Debbie Gamber. She use to be a good realtor, but now she cant even send a email out with a list of to do stuff before your property can be rented out without throwing every lie or excuse in the book as to why she hasnt sent the email out or why the guy she knew didnt give her a estimate. So for now Im going to rent out my property with a different company. Might come back to Golden key depending on my experience with another company, but not asking for Debbie again thats for sure!
We are so incredibly grateful for Ashley and the team at Golden Key. As a military family who no longer lives in the area, communication is essential for a positive experience when listing a home from half-way around the world.Our original property managing company was horrendous. We changed to Ashley and could not be happier. Her communication is exemplary. She showed utmost professionalism throughout a challenging renter situation, and has continually kept us up-to-date on all our renter and homeowner needs. They have truly been a gift for our family.
The maintenance department at this company is a joke. Mrs. Phillips will lie to you just to get you off the phone. I signed a year rental lease four months ago and been having issue since moving into the property, and not to mention work orders are still pending from 90 days ago. I even reached out to the owner of the property in which was a waste of time. I made this post to warn other potential tenants to seek rentals from other companies and not to make the mistake I did trying to give GKR the Benefit of doubt.
Brooke Calbrara from GKR is a phenomenal realtor! She had a perfect understanding of what I was looking for and went above and beyond to assist me through the entire process! It was a pleasure working with Brooke from the search through the purchase. I will gladly tell all I know to use her for all their realty needs!
Margie Stachurski is AWESOME! We would give her 10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! We both bought and sold our home in Warner Robins with Margie and the experience could not have been better! She sold our house in less than 24 hours! She is a can-do realtor who is very connected in the Middle Georgia area.
We are more then please with Lisa. We are only wanting to lease so you would think we wouldnt be a priority for her. But its been the complete opposite. She gets us any info we want and any viewings we have wanted with in a day or so. And not just with her company but any company whove had a house we are interested in. She goes above and beyond to help us and makes sure we are satisfied. When we are ready to buy next year Lisa is who we are calling!!!. She is our realtor 💯
Its laughable that you would even bother responding a year later. Complete with a patronizing closing remark too!We discussed credit before wasting our money on your application. We discussed additional deposits and other ways to demonstrate our worthiness. We were told that you could work with us on credit score if it was a little off. Our income was 5-6X the monthly rent at the property we wanted, we had a solid 3 year rental recommendation, more than enough to pay additional deposits.... Ive also rented from other agencies in the area with worse credit than we had at that time a year ago. But its all water under the bridge. As promised, our scores are up and we just purchased a home. I cant tell you how many Golden Key properties we just drove right on by. ✌230k that you wont get a penny in comissions off of.Original review below:Wouldnt even give them one star if I didnt have to just to write this review. We applied for a rental property and were told that they could work with us on our credit- My score was 4 points below their requirement as I am actively in the process of trying to rebuild my credit. We have more than sufficient income, and the appropriate rental recommendations. We paid our application fee only to be denied on the basis of not meeting their credit minimum. WHAT A SCAM!!!! Our denial email was completely impersonal and void of any human emotion what-so-ever. Not even a fake apology, or a generic best wishes .. nothing other than thanks for your application fee, we appreciate you purchasing coffee and toilet paper for the office basically. The woman tasked with emailing me and telling me to go screw myself couldnt even be bothered to discuss discrepancies with me, or to tell me where they pulled my consumer report from. I had to do my own digging to figure that out. I guess if you have great credit and are looking for a place to rent you could give Golden Key a chance, but Ill tell everyone I know whether they want to rent or buy to steer clear of this place. My credit score wont be low for long, and well be looking to purchase- Ill make sure to not step foot in a Golden Key property.
We are tenants who Golden Key manages the property. We have been struggling since the day we moved in with an HVAC unit that will not cool our entire home. We have been made false claims, about getting quotes for the owner for a new system, and been told it would be discussed with the owner and we be notified. It never happened. Then, the HVAC technician, who has been to our home MANY MANY times over the last year and a half, informed us PREVIOUS TENANTS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. This means, Golden Key and this home owner have KNOWINGLY was negligent and has defrauded numerous people into renting a home with a defective HVAC system which could not sustain decent inside temperatures during a majority of the year. It is criminal. This HVAC system will not keep rooms or our home between bearable temperatures. For over a month we dealt with rooms being 85 to 90 degrees before investing $800 in window units to keep the home cool. We pay $1200 a month rent in a PREMIUM AREA to have window units, that we had to purchase. I have never been so disappointed in the acts of any business. Golden Key might not care about the people who are legal law obeying, bill paying citizens, but there are other agencies who do. I will be filing complaints for absolute negligence with the Georgia Department of Consumer Affairs, the BBB, and the Real Estate Board for brokers and agents. I sincerely wish you all the best of service and care which you have given to my family.
I thought for rent means for rent. I was looking to rent a property for them. They told me the property was already getting signed the lease. So l am like okay. So please tell me how l road by these houses. Know one is staying there and a for rent sign has been up for 31 days. And asap someone really needs to go cut the grass. 31 days empty no tenants at all.
These people evicted us even though I told them we were moving the weekend after the moving trucks came to get our stuff. They apparently thought we were still in the house weeks after we moved. I found out from a neighbor that there is an eviction notice on the door, 2 weeks after we left. That is going to affect us getting a new house in our new state. Also, we put in numerous maintenance requests, some never got fixed and the others just took forever to get fixed. So many things wrong with that house. I am furious!
We recently rented a home from these people and they are wonderful. Very kind and professional. They have done everything possible to make this move as easy as possible. When we look to buy our first home I will definitely call Ms.Sue as my kids say. Thanks for everything!
I definitely would not rent from these guys anymore. The unprofessionalism is unreal. Ive been at one of their properties for over a year now. Currently on a month to month lease since serving out my contracted 1 year. Friendly people but overall customer service SUCKS. They barely followuo on maintenace issues. Had dishwasher issues in February. I reported it via written note with rent. Didnt get fixed until July. Had a tree grow into the water pipes, which caused inconvenience for more than 3 days. I called the office about a week before next months rent was due to inquire on some sort of compensation for incovienence, which totaled $112.00 out of pocket expenses and was told after going into the office 10 days later that it was not the owner or agency problem. I was told I should have had renters insurance. Funny thing about that is, I HAVE RENTERS INSURANCE!!! Insurance company advised wouldnt be something covered under my policy.Overall, the professionals at this company have an issues with following up with the residents. They have no problem sending out late payment reminded or eviction notices though. Advice to you... FIND ANOTHER COMPANY!
Most definitely do not rent from this business. They deserve the one star only because they appear to be nice while renting from them. But, they offer zero customer service to the tenants, and they will 100% refuse to return a security deposit regardless of the amount of work or money you put into the property before returning it to them. Their expectation is for the tenant to flip the property to a pristine condition so that they dont have to invest anything back into the property.While living in the home, we started noticing a lot of problems with electrical, sewage, wear and tear, etc... when we would notify GKR of these problems they rarely returned our calls or messages without us following up 2-3 times first. At one time we (living in a 3 bath home) were down to 1 bathroom, with the septic tank backing up into the house. It took them over two months to fix the septic, and 2 weeks to get us back to more than 1 bathroom. After the septic was completely dug up and replaced, they left the yard in the torn up condition. No re-leveling of the ground, or sodding was done after. This led to a backyard that was filled with red clay/mud. This of course, caused lots of issues with the home. Every time the kids played outside, they were covered in the stuff, and it got tracked in the house. When we complained to GKR, on several occasions, and sent them video and pictures, they ignored it and did not respond. Upon moving out, they used this as a reason to withhold our security deposit for messy carpets and walls. Mind you, professionally shampooed the carpets before moving out (and professionally cleaned the house), and also shampooed the carpets at least once a month on our own because we didnt like living in the mess. We also, during most of this time, had sewage running down our yard, into the driveway and the road. We have three young children, so when this was occurring we couldnt let them play outside. We informed GKR and they didnt seem to care.More so, the home we rented had a pool. In the 24 months we rented the home, we only had use of the pool for 8-9 months because of pool liner and pump issues, combined with the fact that after the septic was dug up and not re-sodded, the mud flowed into the pool every time it rained.They also insisted we repaint the house (I didnt do it), because of normal smudges and scuffs from living in a home for 24 months. Ive never rented from any property management company that makes the tenant repaint an entire home because of this.I spent nearly $2000 on cleaning, repairing, shampooing, and replacing stuff prior to moving, and then they e-mailed me a bill for most of the same things, saying that it was being paid for with my security deposit, and that I was lucky because they could have charged me for much more.When we moved in, it had been painted by a GKR employee, and the paint job was HORRIBLE. We told them, and they assured us that they would make note and we wouldnt be responsible. They lied. The house was being cleaned the day we moved in. The cleaners were there for 2 hours that day. A mother and daughter. The house is 2600 square feet, so I dont blame those them, but it was NOT in move in clean condition.Nothing about this business is a good practice. I am certainly going to the Georgia BBB over GKR practices. They obviously do this only so they dont have to refund security deposits and they can bank the money. My only regret is that I was dumb enough to spend nearly $2000 on the cleaning and repairs prior to moving out. I should have forced them to use my security deposit.Bottom line, DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE NOT CUSTOMER SERVICE ORIENTED.They are very nice while you are a tenant, and you tend to forgive them for not responding to your maintenance requests because they are nice, but in the end, you get screwed. I realize I was too nice, and should have documented more, and stayed on them, but I tend to be a pushover, and see the best in people in the beginning. That part is my fault, the rest is them.
My son made an appointment to see a property he was interested in. Lisa was to meet him at 10:00 a.m., but never showed up. She didn’t even have the decency to call him. We called their office and made another appt. with Tracy. She wasn’t very helpful. If you aren’t spending upwards of $300 thousand, this company’s employees don’t want you as a customer.
We have been with golden key reality for 5 years . Dawn and Laura have been there scene day one the are very good at there jobs quick and always job well done they treat us like family its very nice we came from out of state and they set us upwith everything top notch in my book
I just moved in to my rental home October 6 and so far this experience has NOT been a pleasant one. Maintainance has not contacted me regarding a leak in the closet ceiling I notified them of on the 2nd and now my AC is not working and I can not get in touch with anyone...and I signed a year lease and am feeling like made a huge mistake!!

2022-03-16Lakisha is the BEST realtor! We have worked with her twice now and she makes the process of finding and selling homes so easy. She is very flexible and can be reached at any time of the day. We just tell her what we need and she handles the rest, we basically don’t lift a finger! My husband and I super appreciative of her help and highly recommend her services. Thank you Lakisha for making our last two transitions so seamless!

2022-05-30Margie Stachurski from Golden Key Realty was key to finding out new home in Georgia. We were unable to view houses in person so without Margie, her attention to detail, and her ability to view properties and send us videos, we would not have found a home we are so excited to live in today! She was kind, helpful, and provided guidance during a stressful time in a very competitive market. Her expertise in the Real Estate business and forming offers is the reason we were able to submit a competitive offer that was accepted! We are super thankful Margie was our realtor!

2022-01-11My husband and I worked with Lakisha McMichael as our agent and she is amazing! We are first time homebuyers and she was there every step of the way even after the process! We would recommend anyone working with her when purchasing a house. She treats you like family and we definitely appreciate all she has done for us!

2021-06-22Working with Kira Weaver was the absolute best experience Ive ever had with a realtor and that includes relatives I MUST use to keep peace inside the family. It took about 3 hours to sell our home in Bonaire and that was a huge relief since I needed to get back to Texas. For most of the sales process, I remained there and Kira was always available via text, phone, or email and was expeditious in responding when I had a question. If youre selling a home in the Warner Robins area, or need to leave the area, I highly recommend Kira because there was zero stress or worry. She took care of everything and I could sing her praises forever! When it comes to selling real estate, it was almost too easy and I couldnt be more thankful that Kira was the real estate agent we decided to work with!!!

2022-06-06WHEW! This process been a RIDE! LAKISHA MCMICHEAL WAS AND IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. My husband and I searched for homes for months and it seemed like forever. She followed us every step of the way. She was looking for houses when we were discouraged as nd didnt want to look. Then God sent us our HOME. This woman would ride by often and take pictures and make sure things were going the way they should. She would call and give us updates. She was always on point and went above and beyond what she had to do. She is an amazing realtor, Christian, friend and person, inside and out. I recommend her to anyone and everyone.

2019-10-17We tried everything to sell our home but Golden Key Realty gave us almost instant success. They even furnished and decorated our vacant home with model furniture. House sold very quickly. I can not say enough about Margie. Trust me when I say I have already tried all the online apps and other real estate agencies. Dont waist your time. If you really want to sell your home just contact Margie at Golden Key Reality and then just sit back and relax! Thanks again Margie!

2021-04-29I recently purchased my new home with Golden Key Realty and Ms. Dianne Bryant, one of their agents. I would have been lost without her. She was very knowledgeable about anything to do with real estate and offered to help with anything that I needed. She always took my calls and responded to messages and emails very quickly. She was also just a joy to be around. I would recommend her to anyone that is in the market to sell or buy. If you want to make sure you get the price you should, have a talk with Ms. Dianne.
