What Our Customers Have to Say
Ryan KearnsJuly 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a pleasure working with Jennifer Ketchum. Her expertise, clear communication, and commitment to excellence make her a valuable partner in any transaction. Cintavose VaughnJuly 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SD real estate services. This is my first time dealing with this. Real estate office, but I must say they're very professional, very, very professional. And what I deal with them again, I believe so, and they're very thorough at first. I was like, oh my gosh, what are all these questions? They're asking. I was looking at the lease and it was so lengthy. I felt like it was from a lawyer's office. I mean, they covered everything, but then I got to thinking. And if it were my home, what I want it to be protected. And so then I shifted gears, and then I was like, okay, this is just a process so yes, I would recommend them just be prepared. They're going to ask for quite a bit. Of information, from you to make sure that you qualify for a home. And I was only renting. pam rinerJuly 12, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough about everything you all did for me! It was an awesome experience that I’ll never forget. Thank you to Shawn and Dee and to Andrea for my new house 😇🎉💝 Brooke MyersJuly 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fiancé and I wanted to find a realtor that we had no personal relationship with and who would fight for what we truly wanted in a home. That is when we stumbled upon Jennifer Ketchum. The whole process with her went as smoothly as possible. Being first time home buyers and having no experience whatsoever with any terminology, or how this even works can be scary but with Jennifer it felt easy because we knew we could ask those questions and get those answers. I had specific wants/needs which Jennifer respected and found. I wanted a home in Lakeland (did not think it was possible, but she checked the box), original wood floors (check), and high ceilings (check), plus it was in our price range not even five minutes from Lake Hollingsworth! She found the PERFECT home for us, and it even reminds me of my childhood home. I am extremely overjoyed in our new home and it's all thanks to Jennifer! If you want someone who will fight for your wants, what are you waiting for? Let her make your dream come true! cheryl toomerJuly 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tammie Hampton was awesome! Walked us through the whole process and held our hands all the way. She’s very helpful and understanding. Thank you Tammie we love our new home. Nik LampeJune 23, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Back in April 2025, I applied for a rental home listed at $1,900/month. Unfortunately, due to multiple strong applications, I wasn’t selected. I reached out to the team to understand why, and they were kind enough to walk me through their thoughtful, fair decision-making process. They also provided helpful, detailed feedback on how to strengthen my rental application—while reassuring me that I was already a competitive applicant. Fast forward to June 2025: they listed an amazing 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment for $1,500/month—located in a charming bungalow right in one of the specific Lakeland neighborhoods I had been hoping for. Unlike the first home, this one was within walking distance to downtown and aligned perfectly with my preferences. Throughout the process, Giorgio and the team were consistently communicative and transparent, answering what felt like a million of my questions with patience and professionalism. They coordinated seamlessly with my realtor and made sure I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision. Given that I live an hour away and have a non-traditional work schedule, their flexibility and support during the leasing process made a huge difference. Thanks to S&D Real Estate Services, I now rent a home in a neighborhood I love, I'm saving $400/month on rent, and I'm one step closer to my long-term goal of homeownership in Lakeland. I couldn't be more grateful! Devin HudginsJune 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Megan was a pleasure to work with! Her communication was excellent and she made the transaction as simple as possible. We would absolutely work with her again. Don HayfordMay 4, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jill was helpful and courteous, got our questions answered and more made for a seamless and pleasant real estate transaction thank you Jill Nicole you're Aces kid. Love you uncle Don & aunt Julie Briana SwartzApril 25, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Megan Dippold has been extremely helpful answering all of my questions and helping me through the process of selling my home! She made an overwhelming process seamless. Jenn KielApril 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined S&D 5 years into my real estate career, it was my third brokerage change. I knew almost immediately after meeting Dee and speaking with a few agents, it was a great brokerage to partner with. I could go on about the benefits they offer, so let me just say, it finally felt like I was home. Best decision I’ve made in my career so far
