Danny C, a seller from Hixson, TN
A 5 star agent and supporting staff!! I would definitely use them again. The were extremely professional, but personable. They were constantly looking for ways to increase the number of 'views' on the various sites in order to generate visits. I would not hesitate to refer them to anyone.

Paula McDaniel Real Estate Group located in Chattanooga Tennessee is a professional real estate group in every respectcommunication, marketing, knowledge, experience, negotiating, attention to detail, and commitment. Paula made time to review the current market analysis and trends with us. She offered her candid advice on the market; but ensured that this was a collaborative effort in the selling of our home in which the market had changed from a sellers market to one that benefited buyers. Paulas group treats their clients with care as if you are their only client.

Jennifer E, a seller from Soddy Daisy, TN
We have found the Paula McDaniel Group to be an excellent real estate team for both buying and selling a property. Kristen Hardy was our realtor in 2017 when buying and again in 2023 when selling. Kristen is responsive to all communication, supportive and patient throughout the process (it took us 3.5 months to find the home we bought in 2017) and goes above and beyond (as in being there when you are locked out of your house at 11:30pm). Kristen is also a skilled negotiator and gave good advice when dealing with multiple offers. Shelley coordinates the real estate transaction seamlessly. She keeps tabs on everything and reminds you of important things you might otherwise forget. We would recommend the PMG to anyone looking for experienced and knowledgeable realtors.

Greg and Krissy, a seller from Ooltewah, TN
It sounds so clich, but we really cannot say enough good things about Paula McDaniel and her wonderful group. Paula is honest and upfront about every detail of both processes of selling and buying. The communication and the knowledge in answering all of our questions are outstanding. We know that she had our backs 100 percent and wanted for us our wishes as much as we did. Thanks to Paula we were able to get our home under contract in one day and get the home we had been hoping for. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much Paula, Shelley, Kristen and Lilly!!!

Jesse Cox, a seller from Soddy Daisy, TN
The Paula McDaniel Group is an incredible team to have in our corner in today's housing market! Yes, they help you sell and buy houses, but their services extend to so many more facets of real estate transactions. Kristen Hardy had invaluable information and guidance to assist us in the process of purchasing our new home and selling our previous one. Shelley Talton is a masterful coordinator. We have a busy life and she managed to get us to the closing of both houses 100% on time and completely prepared. Paula McDaniel has put together a truly elite team of professionals and I feel lucky to have this group in my corner for future real estate needs.

The Paula McDaniel Group went above and beyond our expectations! When my husband and I made the decision to sell our home, we immediately contacted them knowing how amazing their reputation was. They were quick to answer any and all questions we had and scheduled to meet with us as soon as possible. Each individual in The Paula McDaniel group was professional, kind, and quickly responsive. The process of selling your home can be so chaotic and stressful, especially if your like us with a baby on the way. It was important to us that the process be made as quick and easy as possible. The Paula McDaniel Group did exactly that. Always walking us through the process, keeping us up to date with each step, explaining everything along the way, and happy to answer all of our questions, no matter how small they seemed. Paula herself even helped us with tips on how we could properly prepare our house for pictures, showings, and selling in general so we could get the most out of our home. I promise you if you follow her advice and the rest of her teamsyou can never go wrong!

Kayo, a seller from Soddy Daisy, TN
As someone who pays attention to detail, I can say I am pleased that we let you list and sell our house. The home has always been special to Brenda and me. It was where we raised our family and had lots of memories. I think you understood that, and you and Shelly helped guide us in getting every detail worked out. The house went on the market on a Friday and was shown about twenty times over the weekend and by Monday we had multiple offers above our asking price. I hope the young family who bought our home, will have as many great memories as we did. The professionalism that you and Shelly as well as your Team showed us, is much appreciated. I have recommended you to several friends and I will be using you and your Team again in the future.

Keep up the great work,
Kayo & Brenda Erwin

Hunter Jones, a seller from Hixson, TN
I sold my home through Kristen Hardy and Paula McDaniel. I have not had a worse customer experience. I hired them based off of their name and because they agreed to take a lesser percentage than other firms. Big mistake that cost us $30,000.

Kristen never took the time to get to know us or build any sort of a relationship therefore she was unable to advise us throughout the sales process. She asked what my fianc and I did for work at the closing table. That is how little she tried. She didnt even know what we did for work.

She didnt once talk to us about her philosophy or how she intended to market and drive interest to sell the home. She did not communicate with us while the house was on the market, she did not talk through any of the offers, she simply sent the highest offer and tried to rush us into accepting. She used scare tactics to try and push us into accepting when we addressed potential concerns. She also encouraged us to be dishonest and tell the buyer we would work with them on potential inspection issues when we had made it clear we would not and the house was being sold as is.

We were simply a means to a commission check. She was either incapable or unwilling to think in the mindset of whats best for her customers. All she wanted was to make her money and be done.

She chose to communicate primarily through paragraphs of text messages rather than phone calls and when we finally had enough we reached out to Paula to get out of our contract.

What did Paula do? Paula called the gentleman that referred us to her immediately to make sure he wasnt upset with her. Im assuming so she would continue to get referrals because when she called us later that afternoon, she didnt ask our side of the story or what happened. She assured us that she would take over the listing and we would have a better experience. Take over the listing to us meant she would be our point of contact moving forward. That didnt happen. She put us in a group text with Kristen, and she was done. Kristen continued to lead.

We were told that our counter offer offended the buyer, that we would be sued if we didnt sell the property, and various other communications about the buyer and their agent. Come to find out the buyers agent also worked for Real Estate Partners and her and Kristen are friends as shown by them laughing, and carrying on while we were signing documents and trying to close at the title company.

There was a clear conflict of interest in our relationship, and as the leader, Paula cared more about her referral source and keeping the business rather than her fiduciary responsibility to her customers. We left feeling lied to, that ethics boundaries were crossed, and that we didnt have a representative or team that cared.

As a local State Farm agency owner in our community, my business has been built on relationships, empowering customers to make informed decisions in the purchase process, and operating fairly. No business is perfect and gets it right every single time but I am astounded by how we were treated by one of the most well known realtors and their team.

They were so patient and helpful in a difficult transaction (2 dwellings on 1 property). Took us 90 days to get it closed. Probably would not have worked out without them. Today 1 yr later we are in our forever dream home. Love these guys

Ellen and Dennis, a buyer from Ooltewah, TN
These ladies were the best. They made the process so much easier! Started off with a non-responsive realtor. Switched to Paula McDaniel Group and it was great from there on. They worked together so well and make sure everything is done in a timely manner. Call them and ask them some questions, you will see why we were so satisfied. If we ever needed another realtor we would absolutely use them.
