Nancy & Guerry Norwood was so courteous and accommodating in showing us condo homes that were for sale. They was very helpful and we appreciate the information they provided us pertaining to the sale. We are 'snowbirds' from northern New Hampshire and after renting on Saint Simons Island for the last ten years we thought we might like to own our own condo home. We really liked the real estate Nancy and Guerry showed us, but we finally decide at our age it was better to rent. Had we considered this a few years ago, we would have definitely purchased a condominium home here on Saint Simons Island. Ruth & Fred Griffin / Northern New Hampshire

Invaluable Aid In Providing Local InformationMy wife and I are residents of Key West, Fl., and after research of several coastal

areas in the Southeastern U.S., we've decided to relocate to the St. Simons area. Our research led us to one of the most outstanding internet sites in regards to real estate and local information of the area that we were interested. Obviously, that site is Guerry Norwood's, and after about six months of research, we took a trip to St. Simon's Island. After looking a several properties, Guerry and Nancy took the time and attention to give us a tour of the island and surrounding area and were an invaluable aid in providing local information regarding schools, (we have a toddler and preschooler), taxes, insurance requirements, local crime trends, (or the lack thereof), and other important aspects of a community that families need to know in order to make a decisionabout moving. The honest, no-hype, no nonsense approach to our quest for real estate and answers to our questions impressed my wife & I and made the difference in our decision to let the Norwoods handle all of our real estate purchases which include

the purchase of rental properties and a primary residence. Kudo's to Atlantic Coast Properties and more specifically, the Norwoods in being exemplary representatives of the beautiful St. Simon's area and all real estate professionals. J.W. & Kim McGee Key West, Florida

Hesitant to Sign a "Buyers Realtor Agreement"Patience is an important and frequently overlooked characteristic of an

exceptional realtor. This need has been more than fulfilled by the service Nancy and Guerry have given us throughout a long and rewarding hunt for our perfect home. Although we were hesitant to sign a "buyers realtor agreement", Nancy and Guerry's helpfulness convinced us that we made the right decision. Your husband-wife team creates a special blend of two minds working towards the same goal to double the customer's satisfaction. Clif and I are delighted with our property, and have enjoyed your company in the search process. We hope to see alot more of you

when we are settled. Sincerely, Penny and Clif Jones Dunwoody, Georgia

Friendly and Down-To-EarthSurprisingly, buying a condo was a scary, intimidating experience because of the huge financial step we were taking. Guerry talked us through the

entire process and put our minds at ease. He allowed us to visit as often as we needed before making the final decision. He even participated in the surprise we played on my parents when we brought them to see it for the first time. The 'Coastal Georgia Team' is friendly and down-to-earth ' exactly what we needed in a real estate agent. Walt and Anita Dasher Glennville, Georgia

Enthusiasm and Knowledge of Coastal Georgia Real EstateNancy & Guerry - We could not be more pleased with your enthusiasm and

knowledge of coastal Georgia real estate. We are still amazed that we were able to movie from viewing a property perfect for us to a binding contract in just 48 hours. We will certainly choose "YOURCOASTAL GEORGIA TEAM" from Atlantic Coast Properties againin the future. The Dills Virginia Beach, Virginia

After spending time with you we know the area well and your enthusiasm for life on St. Simons keeps us interested in the island. Thanks again for all you help!! Pam and Jim Harness, Atlanta, Georgia

Wow, Where Do We Begin, Most Enjoyable ExperiencesWow, where do we begin. Guerry & Nancy have made purchasing an island

condo one of the most enjoyable experiences in our lives. My husband and I have talked about purchasing a beach home for many years. Finally, with retirement around the corner, we were able to make this step. I am an avid web surfer, and one night I came across "Your Coastal Georgia Team" website. We e-mailed Guerry and right away we had a response from him. He sent numerous virtual tours of condos in our price range and demonstrated incredible patience and kindness throughout our decision process. We found our condo and movied in this past weekend. Nancy and Guerry are more than real estate agents--they are our new found friends. They have been so helpful with all the details in purchasing a condo such as taxes, association dues, etc. We also share a love for cooking and exchange shrimp recipes! Thanks Guerry & Nancy, and we will see you soon! Bettye & Wade Bailey Augusta, Georgia

Prompt and CourteousNancy & Guerry ' We would both like to thank you for the professional manner in which you helped us to sell our

property. Both of you were prompt and courteous for all of our phone calls and numerous questions. If we need to sell any property in the future we will be sure to call on you again. Thanks you again. Sherry & David Walden Brunswick, Georgia

Internet Marketing SkillsFar ExceedGuerry, What a great experience working with YOUR COASTAL GEORGIA TEAM at Atlantic Coast Properties. I never thought the process

of selling could be so easy. If the buying process is as easy we may have to do this again. Your Internet marketing skills far exceed any other local realtors. Thanks so much for your help and friendship. I will certainly send anyone looking for property on Sea Island to see you. Thanks again! Craig Hartle, Alpharetta, Georgia

Dear Guerry and Nancy, I wanted to let you and Nancy know that Mark and I really enjoyed our vacation/real-estate search in St. Simons Island. Your personal tour around the island was extremely helpful. We really appreciated the fact that you showed us the transitional areas as well as the areas of the "Rich and Famous". You were very generous with your time. Not every real-estate person is so attentive and patient. Nancy was great too! Youtwo are definitely a winning team! Finally, let me thank you both for the most important character trait that you both possess- Honesty! Take Care Linda and Mark Newark, Delaware

Listened to Our Goals and Supported Our GamePlanGrowing Our Legacy Thanks To Guerry And Nancy! From start to finish, Guerry

and Nancy listened to our goals and supported our game plan to acquire another rental property on St. Simons Island. Guerry and Nancy quickly built our trust by acquiring the critical information we needed on each property that met our requirements, taking photographs for us and honestly answering our all of our questions. In the end, we purchased the property without even having to enter it (we were in Atlanta the whole time). We successfully rented the Ocean Walk property for six months, only three days after closing on it! Thanks for helping us build our legacy! Steve, Julia, James and Princess (our dalmation)- Oceanview Properties, Atlanta, GA

Truly Are a Great RealtorMy friend and I recently had the pleasure of working with Guerry. I am a realtor myself so my expectations are very high. Guerry met them all! He was

exactly the kind of realtor we were looking for. He was knowledgeable about the area, he was patient and you could tell he really enjoyed what he was doing! He helped us understand theGeorgia Coast so we could relay it to our husbands. All I can say is "Thanks Guerry", you truly are a great realtor. Sherry Stipp Bellbrook, Ohio

Our Buying Experience was Fun and EasyNancy & Guerry Norwood made our buying experience fun and easy. It's great to work with someone so familiar with the area, as we are from Atlanta. We look forward to working with Guerry and Nancy again in the future and to help us with whatever real

estate needs we might have! Jamie & Tom Fahey Atlanta, Georgia

Treated Us As If We Were Life Long FriendsGuerry and Nancy, Helene and I wanted to thank you for making us feel at home this past weekend when we came down to Saint Simons Island to look at the property we will be purchasing. Not only were you professional in every aspect as our realtor

but you treated us as if we were life long friends of yours. We look forward to purchasing our new home through you and I can't wait to tee it up with Guerry. I wanted to thank you and Nancy for sucha smooth and painless closing. You have no idea how pleasant you

made the entire process for Helene and I. Helene & Jack Denker Turnersville, New Jersey

There Was Never Any Pressure To Buy or Make OffersNancy & Guerry For as many years as my wife, Helen, have been married, which by the way is over thirty years, we have discussed moving to the beach. Recently, due to a business change we have decided to make the "plunge" and look at properties on St. SimonsIsland. My first contact with Guerry Norwood was over the Internet. Later, I traveled to St. Simons with my wife to meet with Guerry and look at some homes. As Guerry likes to say he was not selling houses, but a lifestyle and he truly does. There was never any pressure to buy or make offers only information regarding theisland and the market. On my second trip to the Island I purchased a house and that speaks volumes for Nancy and Guerry's professionalism. I plan to recommend Nancy and Guerryto relatives and friends'so they can enjoy as I did the lifestyle that is St. Simons Island. Helen & Alan Wells East Cobb

WARMTH AND "DOWN HOME" POSITIVE ATTITUDEGUERRY AND NANCY NORWOOD SEEMED LIKE FAMILY, AND MAKE A TENSION FILLED TRANS- ACTION, SUCH AS BUYING PROPERTY,SEEM

LIKE A SIMPLE PURCHASE. THE FIRST TIME I MET THEM, I WAS SO IMPRESSED BY THEIR WARMTH AND 'DOWN

Very Professional And We Now Have A New Set of FriendsWe could not have been happier with the sevice that Guerry and Nancy gave us while we were searching for a home here on St Simons Island. Guerry sent us daily e-mails of new houses on the market and was always there when we wanted to see one of the houses even on week-ends. What a great couple to work with in a home search which can be taxing to say the least. Not only were they very professional but we now have a new set of friends. Thanks for everything! Ennis and Nancy Ham / Rochester, Michigan

Do Yourself a Favor and Get to Know These FolksGuerry and Nancy have been helping us find a property in the St. Simon's Island area. They are tireless, very thorough, and a joy to be around. Over the years

we have worked with numerous realtors all over the country...but they are the best we have ever dealt with. I can recommend them without reservation....they have really become friends. They don't use high pressure tactics and don't have to because they know the market and are constantly researching all of the properties. Do yourself a favor and get to know these folks. Peter Liggett, MD and Jean Collins Westport, Connecticut

Made Our Search as Seamless as PossibleHey Guerry and Nancy, Thank you for all of your help. Your alertness and promptness provided us the opportunity to secure the home we were looking for. Your being

especially tentative to our needs, our budget, etc. made our searchas seamless as possible. Thanks again for all your help!! Jennifer & Bob Broadus - Alpheratta,Georgia

First Day We Found The Perfect Home"Nancy and Guerry we can't thank you enough for your help with our 'blitz movie'. When we put our home on the market in Atlanta we had no idea we

would need a new home in 27 days! Over the weekend you emailed us 40 some odd listings to choose from. By Monday you had appointments for us. You quickly, and gently I might add, realized what we were really looking for. That first day we found the perfect home. With you two taking care of the details here on St Simons half the anxiety of the movie was neutralized. A million thank yous for all your help and your easy going, yet very buttoned up, island ways. Mary & David Whitty Atlanta, Georgia

Honestly,,, We Could Have Written a Book!!!!Honestly,,, We could have written a book' you guys are just the BEST. Guerryand Nancy, thank you for helping us findour beautiful condo close to the village

and with the relaxing, peaceful charm of Harbour Oaks. Your patience and expertise made our buying experience absolutely wonderful. We have and will continue to sing your praises to anyone thinking about buying Coastal Georgia property. You certainly had your work cut out with us' you helped us determine if we wanted to invest in a house, land, or condo, if we wanted North, South, or mid-island property, if we wanted beachfront, village area or both, plus the added requirement of locating the

Page 13: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

ideal property in a very short time frame! It was incredible the range of services and advice you were willing to provide. We feel very fortunate to have chosen the "PERFECT" real estate team. Without Our Coastal Georgia Team on our side, we would not nowbe the owners of a wonderful condo and enjoying all the "perks" St. Simons has to offer year round, including two great people we call our friends. Thank you so very much, David and Kim from Athens, Ga. !!!GO DAWGS!!!

Providing Us Valuable Information Regarding the MarketDear Nancy & Guerry ' We have been meaning to tell you in writing how much

we appreciate the help you gave us in buying our new home on St Simons Island. We were very impressed that from the time of our initial contact you stayed in touch with us via email, almost daily. Not just 'checking in' but providing us valuable information regarding the market and individual homes. Your preparation made our buying trip easier and we wasted very little of your time and ours. Your handling of the negotiations was very professional and resulted in our purchasing a great home at a very good price. We look forward to seeing more of you when we get settled in wonderful St Simons. Sharon and David Medford / Atlanta, Georgia

Your Vision That It Was aPlace We Would Want to LiveDear Guerry and Nancy, When we beganour house hunting effort we had not

identified an exact area to focus on. We knew we were interested

Page 14: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

in living somewhere between Jacksonville, Florida and Brunswick, Georgia. We were very attracted to your website and even showed it to our oldest son, a web designer, who was impressed. The site you created helps to inivite the viewer to a place, the Golden Isles. You continued to draw us by your vision that it was a place we would want to live. We found it to be just that and even more. We appreciated your time and effort in finding the right house for us in the right place. In addition, we felt comfortable that you were handling our home purchase even though we were 1500 miles away. Thank you, Matt and Elizabeth Sundstrom / Gales Ferry, Connecticut

Their Help Was InvaluableWhile trying to make a decision about relocating to St. Simons, I enlisted the help of Guerry and Nancy to show houses and condominiums to me. They

were thorough and really zeroed in on what I was looking for. The kept me updated through e-mails as well as phone calls and I made two trips to the island where they showed me everything available. Unfortunately, I have decided that my movie would be premature now, but their help was invaluable in helping me make

the right decision. When I do reach the point that I can make the movie, they will get the first phone call. They're great agents and great friends. Sandra Blalock / Atlanta,Georgia

Matthew and I would both like to thank you for all of your hard work. You were fabulous about getting new listings to us via email. You were so good about "being available" (without pressuring us). We really appreciate you and your wife showing usnumerous homes and meeting us based on our crazy schedules. We had an excellent experience with you. Thank you so much. We send our best to you and your wife, and congrats on your promotion! Take care.... Beth & Matthew Coleman St Simons Island, Georgia

Never Any Pressure, Onlya Willingness to UnderstandWe started communicating via e-mail with Guerry and Nancy over 6 months

even before we met them or before they had a good idea of what we were looking for. Some of the other Real Estate Groups did noteven respond to my initial e-mail. Guerry continued to send me different properties during this time and communicate certain ones that might get our attention. When we made our plans for a week vacation on St. Simons Island, I called Guerry and gave him our plans and he scheduled times for looking at different properties. There was never any pressure, only a willingness to understand and assist with any area that they could until they hada good idea of what we were looking for. Any question that we needed answered was timely and honestly answered. Not only did we purchase property on St. Simons Island working with two exceptional and professional individuals with ease, no frustration or problems encountered, but we have made two friends for life. This was the icing on the cake for us! I would highly recommend Guerry and Nancy for anyone looking to develop a relationship with a Real Estate Group that will work to understand your needs and not quit until they do. Thanks from both of us for a job WELL

DONE!!! Charles & Debra Romine Boerne, Texas

You Made Our Purchase Remarkably Easy!After several scouting trips along the Atlantic coast, Leanne and I decided on coastal Georgia for our retirement. We contacted Nancy and Guerry and talked

to them about what we were looking for. On our first visit out, Guerry had scheduled a full day of looking at properties. We probably covered close to 100 miles that day, but we found exactlywhat we were looking for. Guerry had done his homework. The lotwas perfect. After that Nancy took over and led us through to closing. We live in Illinois, bank in Texas, and the lot was in Georgia. Nancy worked wonders and the next thing that we knew, everything was complete and we are now the owners of our retirement lot in coastal Georgia. Thanks Nancy and Guerry. You made our purchase of the lot remarkably easy! Tom and Leanne Chicago, Illinois

Constantly On the BallGuerry excellence as a Realtor shines on a daily basis. During our 10-month search for a Home on Saint Simons Island, he was constantly on the ball. Whether it was going to a house to take

a video tour or finding out the smallest detail, Guerry delivered. We can highly recommend Guerry, not only will he help you find the perfect house, but he will also share secret family recipes and was also very knowledgeable about gardening. Put your trust in Guerry and you will not be sorry. June Meredith Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Followed Through and Researched Our Specific NeedsDear Guerry and Nancy, We chose you over other realitors due to Guerry's

taking the time to send us (wow!) movies of the islands as taken from a small airplane, as well as a hard cover color picture book ofSt. Simons and neighboring Islands. We then explored the many links Guerry and Nancy's website offered regarding Brunswick and Glynn County. Once we were shown the properties we wantedto see, Nancy followed through and researched our specific needs, made phone calls, and mailed us all we needed to help us make aninformed decision in bidding a property.

Great Communication!Nancy and Guerry Norwood were great when we decided to look for a home in south Georgia. They communicated promptly by phone and e-mail and constantly e-mailed us new listings. If we had a question, they made sure that they found the answer. Often the

answers were conveniently located on their web site. They adjusted their schedules to meet with us when we came to the area to visit and were very friendly, pleasant, and helpful. After weplaced a contract on a home, Guerry went back out to our home totake pictures and integrate them into a very professional visual tour of our home and new neighborhood. Now we can show off our new home to family and friends! We highly recommend Guerry and Nancy! Thanks! Shannon and Steve Big Pine Key, Florida

Could Not Have Been More Helpful or ProfessionalGosh, not only are we now the proud owners of an authentic Georgia Low Country Cottage but may be soon be the custodians of Guerry'sfamous Brunswick Stew recipe...complete with secret ingredients....we could make that the first meal that we serve guests in our

beautiful new home away from home...You and Nancy could not have been more helpful or professional in guiding our search. I remember emailing you last June with a long laundry list of features that we would like to have in our new home. I just found that email today and counted.....we got 18 of them...wow! (Can we

Page 22: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

please store stuff in your garage? Just kidding....:) I would not have wanted any garage to clutter up the beautiful marsh views that the property has!! Plus we will never have to clean one out....We are looking forward to toasting you and Nancy and the views from the back porch before long! We are ready to give up oranges for peaches and to get to know all the nooks and crannies of your beautiful coastal Georgia. Many thanks again for making the process look easy and best wishes for your continued successes with satisfied clients. Gail and Jeff Miami / Jacksonville, Florida

One Of The Few Realtors That Has Stayed In ContactNancy & Guerry - We just wanted to thank you for all your help in our quest

to buy a St Simons Island vacation home. You were incredibly thorough in providing us with real estate information (and pictures) ahead of time for all the new properties coming up for sale, and you were very good at helping us weed out the ones that would not have turned out to be suitable. Your patience and knowledge of local conditions and potential problems were of enormous assistance since we had only limited time during our

Page 23: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

SSI house-hunting visit to make a decision. We really appreciate your honest opinions! You put in a lot of extra effort as well to research particular questions we had about the various island properties - and that certainly saved us a lot of time in the end! When it came time to schedule visits to our final real estate choices, you did a great job of arranging our real estate tour so that we got to view what we wanted in one convenient trip - with enough time to investigate further when we wanted to. You alwayskept us fully informed and that helped us make the right decision. Even after the sale, you are one of the few realtors that has stayed in contact and continue to help with many details. You really do go above and beyond the call of duty! Thank you!!! Paul & Bubba Holland - Atlanta, Georgia

After years of saying Gee! , I wish I had bought a house on SSI when you could still get it for $(fill in the dollar amount of your dreams) we finally woke up and realized there was never going to be a better time than now. We started slowly and did our research,calling many listing agents in the process. And while several agents were willing to send us information on current listings, none of them, until we met you guys, consistently provided us with the kind of feedback and follow-up that we needed to make that leap. Guerry sent us emails on new listings several times a week and both of you spent several weekends showing us houses (and thanks to Guerry Jr., too). Yall were so patient and never pushy. When we made offers and missed, you consoled us by letting us feel like it just was not the right one. And you were right! Right after we left the island, THE home came on the market and you two went over to take pictures of the inside for us so that we could make an offer before it got away. And now it is ours. Thank you both so much. Elaine & Mike / Decatur, Georgia

You Were So Helpful and the Tour was GreatNancy and Guerry, Thank you so much forshowing us the beautiful St.Simon island. We enjoyed our visit and enjoyed meeting you two. You were so helpful in showing us what our money can buy us on the island. The tour was great and your dinner

recommendations were wonderful, also, especially The Georgia Sea Grill. We also had a great time biking around the island the next day reviewing all you had shown us. Thanks again! Jane and Rogers Hyche, Anniston,Alabama

No Pressure, Just Genuine Kindness, Thorough KnowledgeWhere could you find a more pleasant couple to show you their wonderful home, St. Simons Island? If you were not sold on living on St. Simons before you met Nancy and Guerry, you will be after spending some time with them. No pressure, just genuine kindness, thorough knowledge, and sincere people. A very delightful couple!!! Kim and Beverly Campbell Marietta, GA

Great Team Bring a Man and a Womans Perspective TogetherAfter vacationing for many years at beautiful St. Simons Island my husband,

Terry, and I decided maybe we should purchase a place of our own. In doing Internet searches about real estate in the area Guerry Norwoods name popped up. Guerry and I had worked together at BellSouth more than 25 years ago and I knew it had to be the same man because no one spells his name like GUERRY. We reconnected with Guerry and advised him that we would be onthe island for our annual vacation with extended family and had a list of properties we wished to view. Guerry and Nancy arranged for us to see ALL of the properties in one day so as not to intrude on our family vacation. Then after we had narrowed our search down they accommodated us by re-showing selected properties to my family that were vacationing with us. Guerry being a student of history as is my husband, showed us a place on the island we had never been even after all these many years of vacationing there and we thought we knew it all! The best part was we got to meet his delightful wife. They truly make a great team and are able to bring a man and a womans perspective together when viewing properties. They each reflect the laid back, casual way of

Page 27: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

doing business that is reflective of beautiful coastal Georgia living.The Norwoods are a good team and delightful to work with. Whilewe did not purchase anything on this trip, I have no doubt they will continue to keep looking for us and we would do business with no one else but Guerry and Nancy. Terry and Chris Gibbs Marietta, Georgia

Responsive As Well As Not Being PushyNancy and Guerry, Thank you both for your continuous efforts in providing valuable information and assistance for Kathy and I in finding a retirement property. You both were very responsiveto all of our requests as well as not being

pushy with us. Thanks again in showing a genuine interest in our future. Kathy and Joe Stanalonis Greenwood South Carolina

You Explained the Culture of the IslandGuerry: You were just great to us last year when we visited St Simons. Nora and I appreciated your patience and willingness to show us a broad spectrum

of properties. Just as important, you explained the culture of the island and the many attractions that were of interest to us. Nora still speaks of the slave quarters that are still being used as part of the plantation and the other historical points of interest. We are looking forward to returning. Thanks again, you were great!!!

"OUR COASTAL GEORGIA TEAM" Were Very HelpfulOur initial thoughts of relocating from Washington State were a bit scary, knowing that we would be relocating prior to the sale of our home in the Seattle area! It was with much relief that we were involved with 2 very experienced and knowledgeable teams of realestate agents, at both ends. "OUR COASTAL GEORGIA TEAM" Nancy, Guerry Sr. and Guerry Jr. were very helpful and patient, during our various "house hunting" adventures. Their knowledge of the different locations and subdivisions finally led us to the beautiful house we were looking for. We are very excited to join your community and look forward to the Southern Hospitality that we have heard so much about! Sincerely, Alex and Teresa Seattle, Washington

They Went Above and Beyond Their Duties as Realtors

Page 29: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

My experience with Guerry and Nancy Norwood could not have been better. Even though I was spending well below, they treated me like a million dollar client. I was in constant contact with them, and was completely reassured throughout the entire process by their knowledge and stay-on-top-of-it attitudes. I was able to completely trust them in making decisions for me as an out of town client, and I feel they went above and beyond their duties as Realtors. They truly put their hearts in this business, andtheir laid back friendliness solidifies why I think everyone should live on St Simons (or at least own there!) I will definitely refer them to everyone, and I look forward to doing business with them again. Guerry and Nancy, thanks again! Sincerely, Kaliesta Bumpus Atlanta, GA

Has That Caring Quality That Lets You Know He CanBe TrustedMy grand-daughter, her friend and I had theopportunity of visiting several condominiums in St. Simons with Realtor, Guerry Norwood. He was a delight to work with. We were looking for my daughter and

he kept in close touch with her and each of us as we discussed her needs. Guerry is just like the friend next door. We felt like we had known him forever. He took our needs and made them important.He has that caring quality that lets you know he can be trusted. He is very patient! Judy Cramer, Atlanta, Georgia

Awareness Of the Local Market

Page 30: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

Guerry, Cynthia and I thank you for the fine work that you did for us during the time that we were considering buying a house in St. Simons. Although we have decided not to pursue a purchase at this time, it has nothing to do with your performance. On the contrary, it was superb. We gave you the parameters of what we had in mind, in terms of price, location, features, architecture, etc.and you outdid yourself finding things for us to review that fit within those parameters. You ardently continued your efforts in identifying properties for our consideration. You also demonstrated a keen awareness of the local market and of factors of which we should be aware that are peculiar to that market. You were able to answer virtually all of our questions, either immediately or promptly after researching them. You were never pushy or overly aggressive. On top of all that, we both felt stronglythat you have integrity and can be trusted. In sum, you were a pleasure to deal with. Best regards, Chris and Cynthia Carson / Atlanta, Georgia

The Norwoods Are a High Quality TeamI live in Chicago and recently visited St. Simons Island to view real estate. I came to the island with very little direction of what andwhere to buy. The Norwoods were armed with only a small amount of info on what I wanted. To my pleasant surprise, they were able to

decipher my 'tidbits' into a half day of showings that exposed me quickly to extensive options. I was able to immediately narrow mythoughts down to two decision points!!!! The Norwoods have access to an unbelievable number of resources. They were able to make phone calls and immediately provide me with information for every question that I asked (and I asked a lot of questions!!!) Guerry and Nancy took me on a driving tour of St. Simons. They

Page 31: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

pointed out key details of commercial and residential areas. After a day with the Norwoods, I quickly understood why St. Simons has such a strong reputation as a charming and desirable community. The Norwoods are a high quality team that all real estate agents should strive to match!!!! The day was quite productive and most of all, fun, because of Nancy and Guerry. Valarie Gill Chicago, Ill.

Your Coastal Georgia Team Represented Me asa Buyer & Seller" Working with Guerry and Nancy made both the purchasing and sellling of my SSI home the easiest transaction I have ever had....They have excellent working

relationships with attorneys, inspectors ,etc which made the entire process run smoothly....Plus, they are FUN people to hang out with while on the island! Jill Wolfe, Cashiers , N.C.

Showing Us Your BeautifulIsland and "Lifestyle".Guerry and Nancy, Thank you so very much for spending time with us and showing us your beautiful island and "lifestyle". We enjoyed our time as a familyplaying golf, frolicking on the beach, and gaining weight in some of the nice

restaurants. We are grateful that you took the time to show us all the highlights in such a short time. I could tell you enjoyed showing it off. You truly went out of your way to show us property and did not refuse to show us things that interested us. We saw a great deal of the island in two days. We will now do some soul

searching and will need to make a return visit soon. We enjoyed hearing your story and learning about your family. Thanks for never making us feel like we were bothering you. Please keep in touch. Wendy, Darrel, Russell and Perrin Gilbert / Sandy Springs

Extremely Patient and Diligent AgentsWe looked for almost two years for a house and Nancy and Guerry were extremely patient and diligent agents. We had a certain idea of what we wantedand they showed us everything that was available and never got discouraged

even after we made several offers on houses that did not work out to our satisfaction. They were always professional and never tried to push us into something we were not sure of. They had great follow through after the sale and even after the closing are helpingus wrap up the final loose ends. What more could ask for? Brad & Debbie Weitz / Atlanta, Georgia

I Would Not Hesitate To Recommend You !!!Guerry, Life has been hetic here in Forty Fort, PA. I want to thank you for your gracious southern hospitality during our visit to the Golden Isle. Dennis and I got a good feel for what the area has to offer andyou were the perfect host/tour

Responsive Without Being Intrusive"Our search for property on the Georgia - South Carolina coast brought us into contact with several real estate agents and companies. Guerry and Nancy Norwood were the hardest working,

most professional people we worked with. From a concentrated effort to learn our needs, to the use of the latest technology to stayin communication with us, to the presentation of properties over the Internet that we could not visit personally, Guerry was supportive and responsive without being intrusive. We couldn't

have asked for a better representative working for us." -John and Judy Myers, Atlanta GA

We Have Been Blessed to Have Met Guerry Norwood

Page 35: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

This is just a short note to let you know how blessed we have been to have met Guerry Norwood. What a helpful man. My husband and I was looking at homes in the St. Simon/Brunswick area, as it looked as if my husband would get transferred to that region. I contacted Guerry from his web-site and he stayed in touch with me, till we could get to the Georgia. Upon letting Guerry know ourarrival date, he helped us to get a hotel reservation at the Holiday Inn Express in St. Simon, which was a wonderful experience in itself. I would just like to say that Guerry and his kindness has been the best experience we have ever had in real estate. Even though my husband took a different position in Ohio we are still planning to movie to your area in the next 5 - 10 years and Guerry Norwood will be the real estate agent we will call. We love St. Simon , Thank you for your help,Guerry. Sincerely, Robert and Diane Wirkner 2072 Brenner Rd Carrollton, Ohio 44615

Hands Down the Best RealtorsGuerry and Nancy Norwood are hands down the best realtors we have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are personable, energetic, responsive and full of wonderful ideas to make your dreams come true! They consistently

went above and beyond what we expected as they led us through avery complicated real estate deal, including a 1031 exchange, which saved us so much money. Their excellent website and communication system kept us informed and made the exchange of information and paperwork so much easier. Viewing properties with them is like spending an afternoon with good friends; showing us condos that were exactly what we were looking for, while they provided us with a history of the area complete with fact and humor. We would recommend Guerry and Nancy to

anyone wanting expert realtor assistance as well as folks that will go the extra mile and stand by you right up until your day of closing! Jim & Bobbie Dill New Mexico

Dedication to Total ClientSatisfactionNancy and Guerry, It is rare indeed to find folks as knowledgeable about local real estate as the two of you. Your assistance, guidance, and willingness to

accommodate our own schedule was very much appreciated as we discovered opportunities at St. Simons Island. While we are still looking there is no doubt that you will be our trusted advisor in helping us with our real estate decision in choosing the perfect Island property for our needs. Thank you for your professionalismand dedication to total client satisfaction. Jim and Clancy Buckler Sandy Springs, GA

Smartest Decision We Couldve MadeMy fianc© and I have rented on Saint Simons Island for years, and recently bought our first home. Both of us are tremendously uninformed about real estate, and therefore had no idea where to begin. I began to ask friends and

colleagues who they would recommend, and based on their feedback, we approached the Norwoods, and without a doubt, it was the smartest decision we couldve made. To say that they went above and beyond would be an understatement. My fianc©, Walker, accuses me of being too spontaneous, and he had said many times that we were not going to jump into buying a house. I had seen a house that I really liked, and he begrudgingly agreed to

Page 37: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

see it. Certainly receiving a call from someone who knows virtually nothing about real estate is going to require much patience and legwork, but when combined with a woman whose seriousness as a buyer depends greatly on convincing her better half, most wouldve written us off as a waste of time. Not the Norwoods. Guerry arranged for us to see the house immediately. As we met him outside ready to be inundated with the standard realtor routine, he stopped outside the door and told us that we didnt need him to follow us around and give us the sales pitch; rather, he encouraged us to take our time and get a feel for it on our own, all the while waiting patiently on the front porch to answer our many questions. We made an offer that night and two days later we were in a contract. I spoke to Guerry and Nancy no less than ten times over the next two days, due only to our nervousness and excitement, and their warmth and graciousness never wavered. Their knowledge was astounding, and they explained everything perfectly, even considering things that were far beyond their realm of responsibility. We set a closing date quickly, the standard 30 days, but when the sellers travel plans eliminated the possibility of that, we realized that unless we waited 60 days, we would need to close in one week. As ignorant as we were, even we knew that wed have better luck building a house in one week, but so it was set. The Norwoods checked with me five or six times a day to make sure that I had everything we needed, to answer any questions and most of all, to make sure that we were alright. Our closing date finally arrived, and amazingly, went flawlessly. The Norwoods did what everyone else said was impossible, and they made what shouldve been the most stressful event in our lives even more joyful. Their happiness for us was sobig, so genuine. Nancy is as lovely a woman as one hopesto meet. She is warm, patient, has a fantastic sense of humor, and her knowledge still astounds us. Guerry has a phenomenal ability to make things happen, even when the odds are stacked against you, and his intrinsic capacity to calm is priceless. Together, they

Page 38: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

are the best team that anyone could have. Working with them seems now an oxymoron, as no time spent with the Norwoods seems like work. They did far more than hold our hands; they stood ahead of us and went to bat; they stayed behind to make sure we kept going, and they walked alongside us the whole way. Ledra Sullivan, St Simons Island

You Truly Listened to our Needs and DesiresHello Guerry, It was a pleasure meeting you and seeing all that St Simons Island and Brunswick have to offer! Thank you for your professionalism and attention to detail. You truly listened to our needs and desires and showed us a variety of homes, all fitting within

our specifications. Thank you again, Susan and Jay Miles Charleston, South Carolina

Fine Examples of What Realtors Should BeLast April my wife and I were visiting the Brunswick area. We met Guerry Norwood on the pier at St. Simons Island when he offered to take a picture of the two of us. After mentioning to himthat we might be interested in relocating

to the area, Guerry offered to help us. We exchanged email addresses and Guerry and Nancy would send us listings meeting our criteria. In December the wife and I came back to Brunswick to meet back up with Guerry and Nancy and look at some of the listings. While on this visit we found a home that we just couldnt let get away. Guerry and Nancy provided welcome assistance through out the process of purchasing the home. They went above

Page 39: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

and beyond what I would have expected. They were invaluable to us especially since we were back in North Alabama dealing with damage to our home there from a broken water pipe. Our experience with buying our home was made a pleasant experienceby the helpfulness and constant dedication that Guerry and Nancyexhibited. They kept us constantly informed and provided timely and accurate advice but we never felt pressured. I have already recommended Guerry and Nancys services to others and will continue to do so. Guerry and Nancy Norwood are fine examples of what realtors should be. Guerry and Nancy, We both thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the service that yall provided. Ron & Lucy Edwards / New Hope, Alabama

Nicest and Most Accomodating Realtors We Have Ever MetSeveral months ago we started searchingthe internet for condominiums to purchase in or around Brunswick, Georgia. We happen to contact Hodnett Cooper Real Estate and began speaking with Guerry Norwood. During our one

Page 40: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

week vacation on Jekyll Island in April we arranged an appoinment with Guerry and his charming wife Nancy. We lookedat three properties in Brunswick. While we were discouraged by our discoveries Guerry decided it would be a good opportunity to do a little window shopping and touring of other properties available on St. Simons Island. In less than 48 hours he graciouslyresearched a number of listings and made room in his busy schedule for us to look at various properties. While we did not find our perfect winter home this trip to Georgia we strongly believe we discovered one of the nicest and most accomodating realtors we have ever met. He went above and beyond our expectations, while educating us about St. Simons Island and the local real estate market. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Guerry for all he has done and would recommend him to other prospective real estate buyers without hesitation or reservation. Robert and Donna Hart, New York, New York

"Nancy and Guerry Norwood Make a Great Team!"Nancy and Guerry Norwood make a great team! We were interested in moving from the West Coast to the East Coast but weren't exactly sure where. We weren't even sure when we would movie but knew

we would in the near future. Over the years, Guerry always kept intouch with us letting us know what was going on in the area, no pressure, while accomodating our inquiries. He did an excellent job in knowing what we were looking for and providing us with the information we needed. Guerry and Nancy accomodated our schedules when we came to town and not only showed us houses that were available but also toured us around the area so we could understand the way of life and get to know the surroundings.

When we decided to look at another area outside of his parameters, Guerry had the contacts to assist us with those real estate inquiries as well. When it comes time to sell/buy again, Nancy and Guerry will be our first choice to contact for our real estate needs." Richard & Barbara Newcomb Hawthorne, California / St Marys Georgia

This Coastal Team Could Even Sell Our Home In a Slow MarketSelling in the slow market of Spring 2008 was not easy in even if you were in

State but if like us you were abroad, it was particularly tough. Guerry and Nancy produced good descriptive details and photos and then worked hard to ensure we were kept informed of viewings both on the web and at the property. When we received an offer, they helped us through the paperwork and decision making process. They telephoned regularly as Closing approachedto check all was well and were there with us all the way until Closing. We cannot speak highly enough of the strong, professional two person team that is the Norwoods. Barry & Margaret Harding United Kingdom

If Buying a House Could Be Enjoyable, this was it!Dear Guerry and Nancy, I just wanted tosay thank you for all your help. If buyinga house could be enjoyable, this was it! From start to finish, you helped us in so

many ways. The time and consideration you showed us made this a great experience. You were very accommodating in your time to show us our choices, over and over again, what patience you must

have. You were there updating us with emails, phone calls and faxes, never was there a question left unanswered. The lenders, lawyers, and inspectors all came highly recommended by you and each one proved to a very valuable asset to us. You provided us with qualified contacts that helped to make buying our townhousean easy process. Once again, thank you for your time before, during and now even after our settlement. There was never a moment that you were too busy to help us, even when I felt that I was losing it, you were there to guide me and tell me that you would handle whatever came up. It was not suppose to happen so quickly, but the way it worked out, it was only 40 days from our first showing of houses until the day of settlement, and absolutely no problems. I am so glad that we now have a townhouse on St. Simons Island, it is a beautiful Island, and we are glad that you made us feel welcome and are now part of the Island! See you soon, neighbor Mary Pentz Williamstown, New Jersey PS: Sorry More Yankees!!!

Friendly, Honest, Knowledgeable, and ProfessionalFebruary 27, 2009 I am so pleased to recommend the team of Guerry and Nancy

Norwood of Hodnett Cooper Realty to all who are looking for professional realty services in the Golden Isles/Brunswick, Georgia market. The Norwoods spent a day with us showing us properties on St. Simons Island. We had asked about properties we found on the internet, and they suggested some additional properties based on what we had asked them to show us. After sharing a few short phone conversations with us, they knew exactly what were looking for, and, together, we quickly honed in on only those properties that were of genuine interest. Nancy and Guerry were absolutely wonderful to work with. We found them to

Page 43: Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience · Truly An Armchair Real Estate Shopping Experience Guerry, Thank you for all your hard work, trips to the airport, and encouragement

be friendly, honest, knowledgeable, and professional. They were happy and willing to take as much time as we needed in each house, and to gather all of the information we needed to make an informed decision. We never felt rushed in any way, and at the end of the day, we were sorry to be parting company. Nancy and Geurry knew so much about life on the Island, too! We chatted about restaurants, theaters, schools, parks- all of the services and pleasures we would want to know about as permanent or even part time residents! I know we want them as friends once we are settled. Im a retired teacher; I tend to grade things. The Norwoodsget an A+. Respectfully, Nancy & Rob Iversen Cooperstown, NY

More Helpful Than Any We ContactedGuerry - Thanks for working with us on our property search!! We will keep your #'s, web page & email. We may want to explore the Ga. Coastal area later or may

know others who are looking for property there. Again, thanks! You were more helpful than any we contacted & we will not forget................ Vicki Rozier / Lizalla, Georgia

I Would Highly Recommend Guerry Norwood Jr. !!I would highly recommend Guerry Norwood Jr. !! Guerry literally helped me and my wife from beginning to end and that I could nothave purchased the condo without his help. Guerry took pictures of the place for me; he helped me negotiate the deal; he walked me through the process; he organized the closing; and he helped me obtain the key to my mailbox even after the closing. I appreciate all your help and have even tried to refer folks to you. Joey and Sherri Mitchell, Atlanta, GA
