"Ricardo opened up the market for us with multiple videos, and his own professional observations just as the pandemic started. This enabled us to continue to search for our new home, facilitated by his guiding us through getting a loan to fulfill our dreams. We started looking in Georgia over three years ago and with no results. Thanks to his guidance and expertise he won the challenge for us in just three months."

"Hi, this is Vincent and Anita Harville. We sold our house with The Nadal Team and Ricardo in one week and everything went great. We sold it the first weekend we listed it the first weekend and everything was a part of the team is totally professional and I will recommend them to anyone."

Anita Harville

"I'd recommend the Nadal Team to anyone who is looking for a new home in the area. Quick response and negotiation of bidding are 2 great strengths for this organization!"

"My family and I have been doing business with them for more than 10 years and is very rare to find a company that is so committed to satisfy their clients. I’m always super impressed with the honesty and integrity of the professionals at the Nadal Team. Best place to buy and sell for sure!!"

Alicia Londono

"The Nadal Team did a wonderful job helping us secure a home in this crazy time. They researched homes and provided me feedback and guidance along the way. They were also extremely flexible when receiving phone calls into the evening hours."

"I recommend The Nadal team for all your real estate needs. They all do an outstanding job helping people buy and sell the place they call home. They’re very knowledgeable of the Atlanta real estate market."

Viviana Tabares

"By the time we met Ricardo and The Nadal Team we had an unpleasant experience before with another agent. We put our House under contract before with another realtor and we actually moved out of the house to a rental while we found a house to buy, but for some reason the deal fell through because the buyer didn’t get loan approval. We ended up breaking the lease and it was kind of frustrating. Finally, we met Ricardo, he was very tenacious and really looked out for our interests. The Nadal Team got us 4 offers from qualified buyers and our house was sold within 16 DAYS on the market. One more thing about our great experience working with Ricardo and his team, at closing THEY SURPRISED US with a Credit from the Lender for a “Hold up” on the loan, and it was very unexpected and it’s always nice when you get extra, we really appreciate you Ricardo and The Nadal Team."

Gregory Jacquet

"Ricardo was very helpful and provided excellent service. He was able to work around my schedule with house tours and paperwork. Everything was explained to me along the process and provided us with great tools to find the right house and services. Ricardo worked diligently to negotiate with the seller to cover closing costs. I highly recommend Ricardo and his team for any home buyers."

"I have been doing business with The Nadal Team for over 15 years, they are very knowledgeable, they know how to win offers a very competitive market, they always work on your behalf. Great team!! Highly recommended!!"

Erica Gallon

"Ricardo was extremely helpful in the purchase of our home in the Atlanta area. Indeed, he provided us with all the relevant information and necessary steps that were associated with the purchase of a "short sale" property. We have owned homes and lived in number of states over the years, including California, New York, Louisiana, and Virginia. Ricardo, compared with all the other real estate agents we have worked with, has been one of the most supportive and responsive to our relocating needs. We recommend him without any reservations."

"After our first meeting with Ricardo Nadal & The Nadal Team we immediately started with financing and within a couple of weeks we found a house we loved. Thanks to their great negotiating skills and good advice, we were able to get the house at a good price and in the location we wanted. I knew right away that we had made the right decision because we had already been looking for a year, making offers with another team and with no luck. Both Ricardo Nadal and Maria Cortes are very helpful, have lots of experience, and very professional. Thank you so much. I recommend them 100%!!"

N Cordero

"Guillermo did an amazing job helping me to find out a good deal in a moment where the market was crazy. Very patient and honest. He is the reason why I reached to get under contract, also he kept in contact with my loan officer to follow all the process making sure everything was running good. His team has the experience needed to handle all the situations. Highly recommended."

Diego Quintero

"To be frank, Rodney is the most fantastic real estate agent I've ever have the pleasure of meeting and working with. He went above, beyond and plus ultra for us! He put in work that we could not even have fathomed he would do. After having bad experiences with a few other agents, he was out knight in shining armor and has delivered on every promise he made us and more. Thank you so much Rodney and in case you were wondering... You have clients for life in us and we are proud to call you our agent and now friend!!!"

Timothy Jones

"After teaming up with Sheila from The Nadal Team as my agent my excitement was reignited. Thankfully she was very familiar with the area and provided invaluable incite. Shelia and The Nadal Team as a whole were a pleasure to work with. I am a first time Home buyer and honestly The Nadal Team were very informative, extremely attentive, and most importantly super patient with me because I wasn’t too familiar with both the home buying process as well as the area. I was very clear on what I wanted and was never pressured or rushed into making a decision. In fact I was reassured and encouraged not to settle. After viewing a few homes I found what I was looking for in under a week! Overall a great experience."

Rashia Khan

"The experience that I’ve had until today has been phenomenal, this is my second time working with Ricardo and The Nadal Team. They really help you with the whole process from the start to the finish, even though we had some bumps on the road due to Covid 19, it took us less than a month to find the perfect house for me and my girls. Ricardo addresses all of the doubts you may have during the process. They were able to get us $4,000 in closing costs, $1,500 on repairs and $2,000 on discounts, a total of $7,500 SAVINGS. I recommend them 100%, as professionals and as humans as you can be!"

"Knowledgeable team with great customer service, highly recommend! They helped my girlfriend and I buy our first home. From the start the transaction was smooth and every question we had they were able to answer. Thank you to The Nadal Team for helping us achieve one of our goals!"

Alexis Flores

"My experience with The Nadal Team was Incredible. Ricardo and his team are very patient and professional. They ended up saving us over $26,000 between price discount, closing costs and repairs that were done to the house prior to closing. If I know of anyone who is looking to buy a home or sell their home, I will definitely recommend The Nadal Team with Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty!"

"I first met Ricardo and his team during a job interview. I explained to them that my main goal prior to becoming a full time real estate agent was to purchase a home. So I could be able to leave my full time job. Since our first meeting they went above and beyond to make my goal happen. I was able to become a homeowner within two months of starting the process with Ricardo and his team. I won the second offer we sent out even though I was competing with several offers and one being a cash offer. They are extremely knowledgeable and are trained to work in competitive market conditions. They have various strategies to compete and win offers.Ricardo and his team are indeed the best team one could hire to buy/sell a home and to work with. I am so grateful to Ricardo and the rest of the team for helping me achieve my main goal and I am super happy to be a part of this amazing team!"

Maria Cortes

"YHSGR is the best company by far. Our realtor Mr. Rodney Clayborn was the best. He went above and beyond with helping us on our journey to purchase a home. My husband and I put offers in on two house and with Rodney’s knowledge and expertise, we got both offers without any hesitation from the owners. We closed on our house in 3 weeks time. Overall, if and when our next home purchase, I definitely be call Mr. Clayborn at YHSGR!!!"

SmileyRDH73

"After YEARS of dreaming of being homeowners we reached out to the Nadal team... We met with a list of questions and hesitant hearts. Ricardo sat down with us and walked us through what a buyers agent does. He connected us with brokers and programs that we had no idea existed. That meeting changed our lives! Ricardo, Israel, and his team were ABSOLUTELY wonderful from start to finish. They found the home- negotiated improvements- closing costs- a deal that was everything we dreamed of! His team worked weekend and after hours- answered all of our questions (as first time homeowners we had plenty!) He listened to our concerns and with his connections made everything seamless. THIS TEAM IS AMAZING! Thanks to everyone at the Nadal team for making our dreams come true and guiding us to our forever home?? If you are ready to own your home I highly suggest The Nadal Team. Good people making dreams happen! Don’t waste another day renting."

Trudy Heatwole

"Working with Rodney Clayborn was easy, fun and over all, professional. Rodney is a key to any real estate transaction. His pride for real estate and his since of urgency landed his clients in their new home. He was easy to talk with, kind, caring and detailed. Rodney didn’t miss a beat and helped us get to the closing table. Rodney is a stand up gentleman and a Realtor no one should pass up. I do hope to one day work with Rodney again."

Jonny Dicesaris

"We received great communication from our Realtor Nayli, she walked us through every step and answered the phone with any questions we had. She was very pleasant and always had a smile on her face. My husband and I are grateful and happy home owners. This was a process but we felt we could trust our Realtor to get us through it. We won our current home in a multiple offer situation and obtained $5,500 in Closing Costs. I highly recommend Nayli and The Nadal Team."

"Rodney and Tanesha are my go to real estate agents. I live out of state and was looking for someone to sell my rental property. I called a few of my friends that lived in the Columbus, GA areas and was referred to them. We did a video conference and Rodney walked me through all of the paperwork and answered my questions. After the property was listed Tanesha & Rodney keep me posted on everything that was going on with my property and gave me a weekly recap. Rodney and Tanesha saved me a lot of time and money because I didn't want to travel to Columbus, GA to take care of some of the things that come alone with preparing a property to go on the market. You are getting a 2 for 1 deal in my opinion. Thank you two for the work you have done."

Jimmy Cameron

"I started working with the nadal team this year and all I can say is I have never experienced a better work environment! Everyone is super friendly and family oriented. They really have your best interests at heart and I feel that they take my goals very seriously. They make sure to always have time to train us and make us better at what we do. I believe I picked the right place to be successful in real estate!"

Amina Morsi
