My question for anyone buying or selling a house: How stressful is/can this process be?
Answer: Extremely
We all have busy lives and then you compound it with spending a huge chunk of our life savings on a house. If the searching and purchasing process goes poorly, it can easily make you regret every desire you had to start the process to begin with.
AJ and his team removed all stress and made the process pleasant.

We found AJ to be knowledgeable of the North Georgia real estate market. He responded quickly to all of our questions and was professional. His patience and guidance throughout the process was extremely helpful. We highly recommend AJ to anyone looking to sell their home in the North Georgia area. 2019
We located AJ because he is listed on Dave Ramsey's site as an ELP. We received the kind of assistance we have come to expect through ELP partners. We felt like "old friends" from the moment we met AJ and he worked hard to learn our likes and dislikes. He was better at it than we were ironically! We developed a quick and easy trust in working with him. If he said we would not like a property for some reason or the other, then we were completely comfortable with accepting that and taking it off our list of things to see. He was spot on once he learned our preferences, and he wasn't afraid to ask the hard questions to help him understand those preferences a bit better. I remember him asking me one day "What is really wrong with this property because it has everything else on your checklist." That forced me to reflect and answer him honestly, and the next thing you know, we found our perfect home. We were having to travel to the area to view homes, and AJ was accommodating in working with our schedules and meeting with us when we could get to town. In addition, he was helpful in the early stages after signing a contract, with setting up inspections and making sure work was getting done, so that when we arrived for the walk-thru prior to closing, it went smoothly. Finally, his willingness to serve others and give back to the community were commendable, and it further helped us to know that AJ was the realtor for us. 2019
AJ was great and we would recommend him to everyone over and over again! He is kind, respectful and honest . We enjoyed our hunt for a cabin , he made it fun. We felt confident that he was on our side! If we ever have to do it again we would definitely use AJ. 2019
AJ is the consummate professional! He handled both the sale of our cabin purchase of our new home. He skillfully guided us through both transactions, alleviating our anxiety and concerns. I highly encourage anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Blue Ridge, GA area to seek him out. 2019
I couldn't have asked for a better realtor for properties we bought and sold. AJ is extremely knowledgeable of all areas in North Georgia and prices, expected trends, etc. I would highly recommend him. 2019
AJ was professional, courteous and knowledgeable and made my transition from a renter to a home owner go smoothly. I highly recommend him and will call on him again when the need arises. 2019
I first contacted AJ because he is an endorsed local provider of Dave Ramsey in the Blue Ridge, GA area. I told AJ what I was considering and he gave me all the information I needed to make an informed decision regarding purchasing a property in the Blue Ridge area. AJ took us to properties that met our requirements perfectly. He happened to know of a property that was about to list and we were able to see it before it was "on the market". This gave us a leg up on being the first to put an offer on the property and getting it! While driving around the area with AJ, he was able to tell us a lot about the area as well as advice and insight into the current market. After we purchased the property, I was working from the property one week and needed a special cable that I had left at home. My wife told me to call and ask AJ if he happened to have one, and sure enough he did! He lent it to me, thus saving me a trip to the store and $80! What a nice guy! He is an excellent realtor and I consider him a new friend of the family! 2018
AJ Petrillo did an outstanding job finding us the perfect home in Morganton, GA. He is top notch in his field and knows just what you are looking to buy after one visit. Thanks again AJ, we love our new home !!!! 2017
We had tried selling the property with other realtors but with no success. AJ advised us about what needed to be done to make the property sellable and then he sold the property, for a good price in just a few weeks. If we ever have need of a realtor again, AJ will definitely get the call. 2017
Very knowledgeable about area real estate. AJ listened and really gets what you are looking for and tailors your search, but also shows you other properties that illustrates different levels of features. AJ also strategically asks questions to help get you focused and to help him help you. AJ was always professional AND patient. My wife and I would highly recommend him as an agent. AJ is easy to talk with, is friendly and is willing to go the extra mile 2016
AJ was amazing to work with. He is knowledgeable on the area, pleasant, honest, and does a great shop showing us homes that fit our needs. We are pleased with the work he did, and plan to use him for future investments. 2016
AJ was phenomenal to work with in finding our vacation home in the North Georgia. He is incredibly knowledgeable about both the geographical area and housing market, and was able to quickly zero in on the style of houses we were most interested in, and tailor our home search around that style. He is well connected in the area and was able to use his connections to show us some homes that had not even been listed on the market yet. We found our dream home, thanks to AJ, and I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience we had working with him. His assistant Dana is absolutely wonderful too, and I would gladly recommend AJ, and his team, to anyone looking to buy a home in the North Georgia Mountains. 2017
