Testimonials
Anna Catron made the home buying process painless and incredibly easy. We couldn’t have handled being first time buyers without her expertise and kindness. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a new home.
Anna Catron and Chelsea Jackson from the J. Michael Manley team of Keller Williams were awesome to work with. They were both extremely willing to work around our needs, and introduced us to a house that was perfect for us. If you’re looking for a new home, I’m fully convinced there is no better team of agents to work with.
We began working with Donald in early July, 2016. Today, on 10/24/16 we closed on our home in Greer. Donald kept us current on market trends here, even though we were living in Florida during most of the property search.

I worked with Jon Lyles and he was so helpful! He explained things so I could understand and did all he could to make the buying process easier.
I would highly recommend the J. Michael Manley team for any and all real estate referrals in the Greenville area. As a fellow agent referring very close friends of mine, I wanted to make sure they’d be taken care of well, and J. Michael Manley assured me they would receive his team’s very best service. He did not disappoint. My friends were delighted when they found the home of their dreams, which was new construction, and J. Michael Manley was able to negotiate the price down plus add in so…
Reviewing the market from Columbus Ohio, I was contacted by Anna Catron with an invitation to provide support based on my schedule and needs.
Over the course of 6 months, we periodically touched base. There was no pressure or commitment, just a desire to provide support and knowledge of the area. Anna was a resource beyond purchasing a home, as we decided to rent for 6-10 months. (she provided some names of contacts to reach out to for rental properties).
Her “no pressure” approach was…
