For me there was a lot of pressure, stress and anxiety involved in buying a home. Vanessa really helped mitigate all of those by being there every step of the way to answer any questions that we had throughout the process. Would totally recommend 10/10

You absolutely can not do better than Vanessa! She is so personable and wonderful and truly made this process so stress free and effortless. Absolutely an all star!!
My partner and I recently had the pleasure of working with Vanessa Anderson from NextHome Specialists and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment we began our house hunt (in November!), she demonstrated incredible patience, attentiveness,
and expertise.
Vanessa took the time to thoroughly understand our needs and preferences, even before we realized them, ensuring that every property we viewed aligned with our vision for our dream home. Her knowledge of the market and keen eye for detail were invaluable in guiding us through the entire process.
What truly set Vanessa apart was her unwavering dedication to ensuring our satisfaction. She was available to address any questions or concerns we had, providing clear and insightful answers that put our anxious, super-inquisitive, neurodivergent minds at ease.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of working with Vanessa was her adventurous spirit when it came to exploring properties. Whether it was a brand new manufactured home or a wildly unconventional stick-built, she was ready to embark on the adventure with us, offering valuable insights along the way.
Thanks to her relentless determination, we found the perfect home that exceeded all of our expectations (and we closed yesterday!) If you're in search of a realtor who is not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in your journey, look no further than Vanessa Anderson!

Vanessa was truly an amazing realtor! She is very knowledgeable at her job and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.
Vanessa was so easy to work with. She's efficient, very knowledgeable and really just a joy to work with. I have also recommended Vanessa to friends and she worked hard for them as well. Highly recommend!!!

Excellent and honest and hard working agent.
I was referred to Vanessa Anderson by Melissa Howe to purchase my first house. What a wonderful experience I had throughout this entire home buying process! All of my questions were answered before I could even ask them, and we were able to find a house,
put in an offer, sign a contract, and close within one month. In fact, I was able to close just 10 business days after signing the contract! Vanessa was attentive, caring, empathetic, and her attention to detail was impressive. I would recommend her to anyone.
Thank you Vanessa!!!
We loved every minute of working with Vanessa! She guided us seamlessly through the selling AND buying process and somehow managed to get us to close on both houses on the same day! We are so excited to be moving into our next home, and could not have
done it without Vanessa. Thank you!!!
Being a first time home buyer I didn't know where to start. I had so many questions, Vanessa explained everything in a way that was easily understood. Throughout our whole process she was there every step of the way. She cared, she was there for US. She
found us our dream home. I highly recommend Vanessa.

I don't even know where to begin, this was our first home purchase so we knew nothing. Well that's ok bc Vanessa was there for every step in the process. If she said something needed to be done she stayed with the process and made it such a wonderful experience.
I can't say a single negative thing about Vanessa. We have welcomed her into our family and truly love her and the relationship we developed with her. Thank you Vanessa, you are amazing at what you do.!!!!!

Vanessa was amazing to work with when I bought my home a few years ago, and it was an easy decision to reach back out when it was time to sell. She constantly had our best interest in mind and worked incredibly hard to make sure we were satisfied. As someone
new to home buying and selling, she was a guide that was always there to help. I am grateful to have had her as an agent and highly recommend her to anyone.
I had the pleasure to work with Vanessa from a friend's recommendation and I am forever grateful that I took that friend's advice. Vanessa was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and attentive throughout my home buying process (I am a first time home owner).
She never made me feel pressured and I could see that she was genuinely interested in my well being throughout the process. I can have long work days, so some days I wasn't able to turn my attention to house hunting until the evenings and Vanessa always responded
promptly and kindly. She has a wealth of knowledge about real estate and she clearly explained anything that I had a question about. I highly recommend her!
Our agent Vanessa provided the best experience we could ever ask for. While our family was on a roller coaster of buying our home, Vanessa seemed to have everything so under control. She was always available for questions, concerns, advise, and support.
We would never ask for anyone besides her for our moving needs.
She didn’t make us feel like another client. She made us feel like she was taking care of part of her family.
We moved halfway across the U.S., so she became our eyes, ears, and nose ?? inside the homes we were looking for. She took videos of the home for us to give us a better feel of the layout.
If you want the best out there, call her. We liked texting though. She always made time for us.
Thanks again Vanessa. ;)

Vanessa is the best in the game! You can't go wrong with her as you're realtor.
Vanessa was the ultimate professional in selling our home. She kept us informed through every step of the process and always, always responded to questions or concerns in a timely manner. Will recommend her to anyone looking to sell our buy a home....
Vanessa defines professionalism. Our dealings with Vanessa made the buying and selling process easy and she covered every base. She is aggressive and smart. If your buying or selling, you want her on your team.
Vanessa was so knowledgeable and made becoming a first time home buyer so easy and fun. Would 100% recommend!!
Vanessa was so helpful and made being a first time homebuyer so easy!!
In the span of less than four years, I've worked with Vanessa to sell two homes and buy two others in an increasingly hot real estate market. If I need to move again in the future, I'm calling Vanessa. Her dedication to client service, advocacy and communications
extends well beyond closing dates. She gave me great advice on pricing, negotiations, inspections and more. I highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in the Midlands.
We feel so lucky and privilege to have Vanessa Anderson as our realtor. Very professional, extremely knowledgeable. Always available to answer our questions no matter what we needed to ask. From the first moment we spoke she knew what we were looking for
and she nailed it. She not only found our dream home but she made the whole process so much comfortable for both of us since the last time we purchased a home was 30 years ago and the process has changed some what. On our closing day she presented us with
a lovely note and a present which was such a surprise and so thoughtful of her. She will forever be our only realtor in South Carolina. We will forever be grateful to her we lovelier new home. We highly recommend Vanessa as the best realtor.
I have to tell you Vanessa definitely hung in there we went through a lot of hell because of COVID-19 trying to close on our house she literally stuck with us for over six months of nonstop aggravation and never gave up if I ever need another house I will
definitely use her and I would recommend her to anybody she’s one of the good people
Thanks Vanessa
Thanks Vanessa
I reached out to Vanessa to help with a purchase in the Columbia USC Area

Vanessa is a fabulous realtor!! She is great at her job. Any time I had a question, she dropped what she was doing and gave me her full attention. She always was prompt at returning texts, answered every phone call, and was just an overall treat to work
with! She explained everything to me in plain English since I'm a first time home buyer and never made me feel stupid. Seriously cannot recommend her enough!!!

Vanessa is amazing! She stayed in constant communication with my wife and I through the entire process. She was patient with us when we didn't understand something and she had to explain it, sometimes even twice! We will absolutely use Vanessa again and
will repeatedly recommend her whenever the subject comes up!
From start to finish Vanessa was the most helpful and thoughtful agent we could have asked for. She was super communicative, quick to respond and always available no matter the time of day. When the going got tough (LAST minute closing issues), Vanessa
got going. She alleviated the pressure on us by taking care of many things we needed to handle that didn’t even pertain to the closing so we didn’t feel as stressed. 10/10 recommend! Thank you for everything you did and continue to do for us!

Selling your house can be a headache, but not with Vanessa! She had great suggestions, recommendations for contractors, and kept us on track with appointments and timelines. If I had another house to sell, I would only work with Vanessa!
We decided to buy a house 880 miles away during a global pandemic. Somehow, this process was incredibly smooth and it is mostly due to Vanessa Anderson-our realtor. She showed us a ton of houses on the one day we got to see them, was incredibly sweet and
thoughtful, and has become a great friend. Vanessa handled our crazy crew with grace and confidence and I would recommend her to anyone knowingly that she would get the job done the right way for them also.
She is caring, charismatic, and hard-working. What more could you ask for in a real estate agent? My kids love her, she found us our dream home right away (in a very short time span), and she constantly communicated every step of the process. Thank you
for everything, you are an exceptional agent and human being.

Even with Tom handling the business end of our finances selling a home is still stressful. Vanessa came in and absorbed my stress on day one. She walked through our home allowing me to voice concerns while she made suggestions. Then she had recommendations
for contractors to help us prepare our home.
Once I introduced her to Tom my job was done. Vanessa’s was just beginning. Communication with Vanessa was seamless. She didn’t just drop suggestions and run. She helped us with project management so that we were always aware of our next steps.
We followed all of her recommendations and it truly paid off. Before the open house, before the sign was on our lawn we had a buyer. Incredible!!
Now we can enjoy our forever home in Brevard while a new young family loves their new home in Irmo.
Vanessa is obviously kind and professional. She is intelligent and knowledgeable in her field. With her personality the entire experience was a win win win for us.
Thank you Vanessa!

Vanessa just sold our house, although it took her 24 hours to do so! (Lol). We listened to her full advice and she knew all the people to get the house ready quickly. Thanks for the help. I highly recommend Vanessa if you are considering selling your home
and listen to her advice, she knows what she is doing and how to get you where you need to be.

From beginning to start Vanessa lead the way to us purchasing our home in SC. Professional at everything. Creative and just fun to work with. Would work with her anytime.
I honestly can't say enough about Vanessa! This was our first big out-of-state move as a family and Vanessa truly went above and beyond in helping us find a new home and become familiar with the area. She is not only a fantastic realtor, but is also a
genuinely wonderful person. She put our needs above her bottom line again and again and helped us find a home that fit our lifestyle and budget. I am so grateful to have had her on our side as both a realtor and a new friend!
Vanessa is a kind and intelligent agent. Both her knowledge of the area and understanding of our needs as buyers were crucial in our buying process. My wife and I are completely satisfied customers. If you're looking for your next home, Vanessa is the
agent for you. Thank you Vanessa, you're the best!
Vanessa did a fantastic job of marketing my home. It sold within days of listing!
Vanessa and I met through a referral I sent her. Her communication to client was outstanding throughout the process. From the moment she received their information to the closing the client was overwhelmed with comfort. The clients were relocating from
out of state and extremely nervous about but she provided such excellent service that they did not hesitate to put in an offer on the second home they saw. Vanessa was able to provide them with information of the areas and help them narrow down were they would
search. I will continue to use Vanessa as a referral partner! She goes the extra mile for all her clients!
Vanessa is the ultimate real estate professional. She is EXTREMELY dedicated and gets the job done no matter what type of curveball I throw at her. I've used her for multiple properties and every time she does a great job. She gets bonus points for her
sense of humor and willingness to "tell it how it is". I recommend Vanessa to friends and family and wouldn't hesitate to use her again for any property.
Vanessa was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, handling every step of the process for me as an out-of-town buyer. She clearly had my best interest in mind during negotiations and was always available to answer questions and provide updates. Highly recommend!!
Whenever I think about customer service done right, I think about Vanessa. Her chief objective is always to do the absolute best for her clients, with zero exceptions. She consistently acts with integrity, and her work ethic is truly impressive. There’s
no one I’d recommend more.
Vanessa helped us through the process of finding a property in Columbia for our daughter (a student at USC). We wanted to find a safe and updated place, in close proximity to the campus, and good long-term investment - a tall order! Vanessa was kind and
very patient, giving us wonderful advice and candidly sharing insight to the different areas (we aren't from Columbia, so we greatly appreciated that). Vanessa treated the home search the way she would have if the property was for a family member. We are so
happy with our experience with Vanessa and NextHome!
Vanessa is the total package! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a home in South Carolina.

Vanessa did a great job in getting out house sold. We chose to start advertising at probably the worst time of the year, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and to our surprise, we had a contract before the end of the year for nearly list price. She did
a wonderful job advertising and marketing the house thru multiple open houses and agent events. Once we got the contract in place, she helped make the process of getting to closing a breeze and we closed without any issues. I would highly recommend using Vanessa!
She helped us find our dream home as well as helped answer all of our questions immediately. She gave us peace of mind as well as was very kind. Vanessa made the buying process easy and stress free, and we would not have found our dream home without her!
She is also very knowledgeable about the area/business and helped us find vendors for our home to do minor work. She really went above and beyond and we are so thankful for her!
Vanessa was a huge help selling my home! I work crazy/long hours and she made sure everything was taken care of promptly and efficiently. I appreciate her help and would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home!

Vanessa Anderson with NextHome Specialists, is truly the best! She makes everything so easy and was always there for me for anything and everything I needed throughout the entire process. I would not want to work with anyone else. If you are looking for
a Realtor who you can trust, depend on and rely on for all your real estate needs then Vanessa Anderson is the Realtor for you.
Vanessa Anderson is one of the best realtors the state of South Carolina has to offer. She is not only incredibly knowledgable & helpful but is also shrewd and has chutzpah. When it comes to realtors, I know I was a bit leery - thinking that mostly they
just want to line their own pockets, rarely caring about the interests or finances of their buyers. This isn't the case with Vanessa, she was completely honest and frank with me. She not only helped me buy a house that I love - but she helped me make a good
investment for my future. If you want the best - choose Vanessa Anderson.
My wife and I worked with Vanessa to purchase our home and really can’t say enough good things about her. She is knowledgeable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends). Buying a home in this
market is challenging, but working with Vanessa made it as painless and straightforward as possible. We highly recommend her.
Vanessa was great to work with! She was knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us. She had our best interest in mind throughout the process. I highly recommend her.
