What do Clients Say?

“In March 2022, we came across what could be described as a“unicorn” property in San Simeon, California. While we knew it would be sought after by other buyers, we wanted to try our hardest to purchase it as an investment for our growing family. Denise and Terry were the listing agents, and we had the pleasure of meeting them both on our first visit to the property. Thanks to their work and commitment from that introduction forward, we now have the privilege of calling San Simeon a part-time home for our family. Denise and Terry went above and beyond in the entire sales process and continue to do so even today. They are personable,attentive and reliable on all accounts. They even helped us with certain logistics post move in, which went well beyond the scope of their day jobs. They treated us like family, and we know they’ll do the same for you.”

ohn and Diana Barnhart Terry Gillispie has been the realtor for two of our homes. She is an outstanding professional. Terry smoothly handled all the paperwork from start to finish. Her listings included professional photos, vivid descriptions of the home and surrounding area and easy to follow directions. We appreciated her willingness to show the home whenever a customer was available. She took care of all the many details involved in a sale with a smile and a dogged determination to close the deal. We would contract her for any property sale in the future with the confidence that from start to finish she would consider our needs and priorities first Terry has a strong supportive staff and they are all working for you. So please consider Terry as your next realtor. You will not regret your decision.

Scott and Gail Sanderson Terry was my realtor on a difficult transaction involving buying my dream home and selling not only my home that I poured my heart into for 15 years, but my parents’ home that they lived in since 1960. My goal was to combine households with my elderly parents. It could have been disastrous but Terry guided us through a lot of emotional/business ups and downs, and never let up as far as her guidance and expertise. Suffice it to say we closed on all three houses; everyone was and still is thrilled; and we have nothing but gratitude for her and her professionalism. Did I mention we have been friends since 1976? Terry is the best!!!

Aidan and Jessica Basinger My husband and I went through Terry to purchase our dream home. She was amazing, Terry could not have made the process any easier. She walked us through every stage of the transaction and was so thorough we rarely had questions. In the instance we did have a question, she was always immediately available and responded quickly. We could not be happier.'
