Testimonials

Collier is very knowledgable of the current market. He is professional, courteous and excels at customer service. He always answers his phone or return your call promptly. We really valued the attentiveness that he showed us while our home was on the market and during closing. Sharron was great at assisting us after our home was under contract. We highly recommend Collier Swecker and the Mega Real Estate Team!

Mark was perfect! He was EXTREMELY patient with me, as my home search took longer than expected and we looked at a TON of houses before finding "the one". He was very knowledgeable and helped me more than once by pointing out potential issues with some homes that I didn't see. These issues would have wasted my time or money had he not spoken up. He, or one of his partners, were always available and worked very well with my schedule, and they always met me with a smile no matter how early or late it was. I will definitely be going back to Mark when I get ready to make my next move.

Carin Charles is by far the best realtor I've ever worked with. Carin was amazing!  She treated us like family and was very attentive to our needs. My daughters and I were moving to a new home after my divorce and it was a very stressful time. Carin went above and beyond what a realtor should do to make us feel at ease and to accommodate our time frame.  She was always a step ahead of me,  and continued to follow up even after our move.  I am so thankful to have met her and worked with her.

Collier Swecker is an amazing, hard-working, dedicated, passionate, and extremely professional realtor that I would recommend to all of my friends and family. I'm thankful that my family used Collier as our realtor and had such a wonderful experience selling and closing on our home. He is very well organized, dedicated to making his clients happy, and ensuring a smooth experience during the entire selling process. I also think Collier would make an excellent psychologist or therapist! :)

We cannot say enough great things about Carin Charles and the Mega Agent team. Carin did a fabulous job in assisting us with the purchase of our new home. We were very particular in what we were looking for while staying within a budget. Carin was very diligent in her search and asked to show us one house in particular she thought might be of interest to us the day it became active on the market. It had everything we were looking for, plus more! We were able to give an offer that same evening and that house became our new home due to Carin being on top of her game!

Carin remained very positive and professional during the whole process, one which can be very stressful at times. She sacrificed time from her family to accommodate our work schedules in showing us homes in the evenings and took the initiative of making arrangements of anything that needed to be taken care of prior to closing and even afterwards! It was such a smooth transaction! A bonus - she has some great contacts for odd and end projects! We consider Carin not only an outstanding real estate agent, but also a friend - one who has your back! Contact Carin Charles for any of your real estate needs! You will be glad you did!

Kathy Southerland is a straight shooter and I relied on her expertise and experience alot.  She was available and responsive. She gave me valuable advice especially because I was a first time home buyer.

Ms. Kathy also arranged a meeting with Collier from the team and that was a very informative session too. I would have sworn I was the only client that Ms Kathy and Collier were working with..... very helpful and knowledgeable. They gave me valuable advice.

At a pivotal time in our lives, we decided to sell a property which is 2,300 miles from where we now live, and which we had leased as a rental for the last 7 years. What we hadn't known until that time was that our property management company had really let us down in terms of the property's current condition. And we had no one local to the property to help. So we were really shaken. On learning this, Mega Agent Carin Charles was instantly intuitive about what would be needed to quickly and adequately update our property for a fast, solid sale. She also instantly knew that all of this would rest completely on her shoulders. And fortunately for us, Carin stepped up and completely owned the situation... in the midst of her incredibly packed schedule, she immediately initiated and facilitated the in-the-know flow that led to the incredibly quick sale of our property.

Carin worked with us within our budget and helped us with quality, economic choices - from contractors to tiles, fixtures, floors and countertops - to, within weeks, get our property in stellar shape for sale. Her diligence, responsiveness, and knowledgeable attention to detail and the market was a daily comfort in trusting her with our milestone sale. Carin is not only an exemplary agent but an exemplary and inspiring individual.

For us, it is very satisfying having left the property we had owned for 25 years, and lived and raised our children in for 17 of those years - thanks to Carin's efforts - well better than before we decided to sell it, and as a result got a better than expected, more than satisfactory final return on our long-time investment (not to mention a very happy buyer). We will remain ever grateful to Carin Charles for the exceptional service she provided to us, resulting in the property sale that now allows us to move on with our lives.  She will always have our everlasting recommendation!
Mark and Laurie McClellan
Carin Charles was fantastic. She sold an older home amidst new ones.  She found a buyer who loves the home. That meant al ot to me as it was my family home. She is also professional. She is a great negotiator and has so many ideas. Highly recommend her!
Lisa Adkins
Working with Collier was absolutely great! He is so personable and easy to work with. His knowledge and experience were invaluable to me during my search for my first home. Thanks to Collier I was able to find a home that I absolutely love. He is truly on your side and will do anything to help you find what you want!

Collier has excellent negotiating skills and I felt completely comfortable and confident during the entire process.

Everyone with the Mega Agent Team was extremely professional and friendly. They made the whole process so easy!
Adrienne Darby
There are several factors that made Collier the agent for us. He was personable and professional. On the first visit he shared what I could do to make my house more marketable. Collier shared his selling strategy; ways he would advertise/market the house etc. It sounded like a very comprehensive approach; covering all bases.

So with that being said, they say you have to sell yourself before you sell the product/service etc and that is just what Collier did. I also liked the fact that he is a lawyer. Most lawyers are very smart and typically possess being knowledgeable across the board on many issues, thus in my mind making him a well-rounded professional.

I would definitely recommend The Mega Agents & Collier Swecker.
Nell Daugherty
Having the TEAM of the Mega Agents is awesome! Knowing that each person on the team specializes in what they do was great. Because of Collier's expertise our home went under contract in 10 days. I highly recommend the Mega Agents to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Justin Scarcella
Mark Carlisle is the most knowledgeable, patient, thorough, helpful agent that I have ever met.This is the second property that he has helped us with and we plan to have him as listing agent on two more properties this year. I am now too spoiled by the great experience that I have had with Mark to even consider another agent or company.
Harriet Malone
I think the thing that impressed me the most was Collier's attention to detail. Everything about the buying and selling process was so streamlined. He and his office were efficient and knowledgeable. Excellent, excellent!! I have, and will continue to recommend them to our family and friends.
Kathryn Stanford
The was my first selling of a house, so I was a bit apprehensive. Carin Charles made me feel at ease and was very accompanying with everything. She was also very responsive and I felt from the inital stages that she was there for my best interest. I would definitely call Carin Charles for her advice and assistance if needed in the future. I would also recommend Carin Charles to family and friends.
Valerie Welton
Collier and his team were unbelievable! Our situation was somewhat unique due to elderly parents who are not tech savvy and moving to an independent living facilty.  Collier did a masterful job of communicating each step of the selling process with us (daughter and son-in-law) and the owners.

His connections made completing the inspection checklist a breeze.  Closing was scheduled for 12/8/2017.  Birmingham had a major snow storm that day. To avoid his clients from driving in those conditions, Collier and his team met with the buyer and seller at separate locations to get the closing paperwork done.  Selling a house can be very stressful, this was far from that thanks to the behind the scenes work that Collier did!
Larry King
Kathy worked very hard for us, she definitely made the experience a lot easier on us and I will refer her to all family and friends in the future.
Cameron Franklin
Carin Charles was awesome! She's a very good listener and understood our wants and needs for our family. She also was very patient with us. I would definitely call Carin for our next home purchase.
Brandon Hill
Collier and his group are fantastic! He's helped us sell our last 2 homes. We have closed both times within 40 days of putting them on the market. The prices were just what we were hoping for and expected. Collier is easy to reach. All of the people working with him are very responsive as well. These guys do a great job and we recommend them to all of our friends/family.
Sterling Barbour
Mark Carlise is a kind, professional realtor. He was quick to respond to listings we saw that we knew we were interested in, and we liked the weekly emails with new listings we may be interested in. The listing search website on megaagents he linked us to was very helpful, as we didn't keep searching on traditional websites with outdated listings! He showed us many properties, and helped us close the deal on the perfect home for our family.

Mark went above and beyond while we viewed houses, even entertaining our cranky three year old while we looked around. He will always be "Uncle Mark" to us! We could not be more satisfied.
Beaulah Criswell
Collier went above and beyond my expectations. He was there when I needed him and was extremely patient. Collier and his MEGA team are the best!
Natalie Smith
I would recommend Carin Charles to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling a home. She is very professional and knows her business. She is very accessible. Carin uses all the technology at her disposal. Her response time is excellent. E-mail, text message, phone call. She is excellent at understanding what the client prefers. For me it was mostly text messaging. That was great for me as I was 600 miles away.
James Arnold
Collier Swecker and his team are amazing. They are very personable and treated me like family. They were able to meet all of my needs and really exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend them to anybody.
Courtney Smith
Thanks Mark for all your hard work and dedication.  Finally, we have settled in and sorry for it took us a while to post this simple gesture as how we are truly grateful for all the things you did for us.  Anyone who is thinking of buying their home through Mark, you'll never regret a single second that you chose him to be your broker.
Ian Jabines
One of the reasons we chose the Mega Agent Real Estate Team is I really appreciated the team approach. They evaluated the house, got professional pictures made, listed us everywhere and provided weekly updates on the market. I really like the automated notice of showings and also that they follow up with questions to the agents and share that feedback with us. I could see how their marketing plan was working as we received notices along the way.

The reason I would recommend the Mega Agent Real Estate Team to anyone is the service we got from Carin Charles. We had already moved away from the area so all tasks fell to Carin. She took care of the house, let in inspectors, met repair people, cleaned up when needed. And she stayed in touch with us every step of the way. She gave wise counsel in negotiations and watched over all the details of closing. She was always friendly, positive and timely in communicating.
Cindy Shellum
Collier came highly recommended by trusted friends. Using Collier was by far the best decision of the entire house buying process. Collier made himself available no matter what time or what it was that I asked. His knowledge of the area and the business proved invaluable.

Other than being an Auburn fan, Collier was a pleasure to work with. As stressful as buying a new home and moving is, I could rest assured he was working feverishly to alleviate a large amount of our worries. God forbid we have to move again, Collier is the first person I'm calling.
Brian Hortman
Collier and his team went far above and beyond making sure all of my bases were covered in an easy, step-by-step manner. He and his team's connections were invaluable in getting me the best services possible throughout my purchase experience.

I cannot thank Collier Swecker enough for making the daunting jump as a first-time homebuyer a breeze. It would not have been possible without his expertise, guidance, and connections. I truly could not have had a better real estate team by my side!
Graham Carlton
Mark and the Mega Agents team made home buying an easy, seamless process. They stayed in touch, were available for questions and easy to get in touch with. When the time comes again to move, we know exactly who we will be coming to, and we are so thankful to Mark and the Mega Agents team for helping us find the perfect home for us! We are very happy first-time home buyers.
David Bowers
Carin understood the emotions I felt at selling the home my late husband and I had shared, and she was very patient with me sort of learning what to obsess over and what to let go of. Because I had already bought a new house in Huntsville, she was truly my B'ham eyes and ears and even feet and arms - like when she herself spread the flowerbed mulch the lawn guys were supposed to, because she wanted the photos of the house to be as good as possible. She found someone to fix a botched paint job in the kitchen, she knew who could make plumbing and HVAC repairs, and she just took care of things. Her communication with me was always prompt & clear. I was SO impressed with Carin & would recommend her to a friend in a heartbeat!
Jane Mathis-Hopson
Carin is an asset to The Mega Agent Team! So down to earth and very professional.
Joe & Sherrie Vines
I have sold six (6) homes over the course of my career and Collier Swecker's sales services on my deceased mother's home were the best I have ever received.  He and his staff had an outstanding plan for promoting the sale and followed it to the letter, keeping me fully informed at timely intervals.  I would recommend him without the slightest reservation.
Charles Gamble
Mark and his whole sales team were wonderful. I especially loved our shared Christian faith which gave me complete trust in ther integrity and decisions.
Linda Dixon
Collier is in a class by himself, great job.
Dave Oxley
Carin was very professional & genuinely concerned about our concerns & questions. She made us feel very comfortable from the first meeting. Carin was exactly what we needed in the sale of our home. Everyone we dealt with during this process was professional & extremely helpful!
Neal Holden
Collier's expertise, advice and approach to buying & selling are unrivaled.  He listed our house and had a contract on it in just over a week.  Further, he helped us find a new house at the same time.  The whole process was over in less than two months.
Jimmy Mitchell
Collier puts the client first.  Having a law degree, he looks at everything from his clients perspective and has give great advice on issues that could have been detrimental to me and my family.  If you are looking for a realtor who knows the market, is personable and very genuine, Collier is the right choice.  I highly recommend him for any of your real estate needs.
Destry Watson
Our experience with Collier and his team was absolutely beyond compare and exceeded every expectation we had. Collier is so knowledgeable about every step of the process and gave us critical advice that saved us time and money in many different instances. We truly felt he had our best interests at  heart as he gave honest opinions as well as being available to us at ALL hours and for all circumstances.

I cannot articulate how pleased we are with the decision to use Collier to sell AND buy our homes. He made this experience so positive for us and recommend he and his team to anyone expecting this type of invaluable service.
Stephanie Cruce
We closed on our home July 31st after a very long, difficult process. There is no way we would have made it to July without our agent Carin Charles. She held our hand, let me cry, prayed for our family, made the chaos bearable and gave us confidence the entire time. We can say without a doubt Carin  went above and beyond as an agent. In the end she gave us a housewarming gift, when the honor was completely ours.
           
Honestly, there are not enough words or time to adequately convey our appreciation to the Mega Team and Carin Charles.
Angie Trantham
Best realtor in Birmingham! He was so incredibly helpful. Very knowledgeable about houses and the home buying process. He sat us down and talked us through the process. Would recommend him to anyone looking to buy of sell a home.
Drew Smith
We were thrilled with the work Carin did for us. The house went for sale without us being there and when we had found problems with the walls in the basement, Carin went to work finding the right people to fix the walls and inspect the walls.  We never would have known that we needed a written inspection to help prospective buyers feel good that the walls were now secure.  When it came time for negotiating, she helped us stand our ground on the price.  We were nervous that perhaps we were asking too much but she warranted everything and the sale went through smoothly.  We would definitely recommend her and her team. And speaking of her team, we received weekly reports from her company on homes for sale in the area and homes that sold in our area as well.  We also received a call about every two weeks to ask if we had any questions about the process or how things were going.  Bottom line is do yourself a favor and give Carin a call to help you with your next purchase or sale!
Richard Russell
Mark and the team at RE/MAX Mega Agents are all very professional, and very friendly. We had a very tight time frame to sell our house and purchase a new one. Mark's team made the process as smooth as it could be. If I ever need to buy real estate again mark will be my first call.
Ben & Lydia Dungan
Carin was willing to work with us and willing to go beyond her normal duties to help us feel comfortable with putting the house on the market with us being out of state.  I felt I could count on her.  She did not disappoint us. Carin was wonderful!  We could not have asked for a better agent!
