To my wife and I, “Magic” Mike Eatmon is the standard of truly amazing realtors. He walked with us each step of the way and explained the process by answering questions we didn’t even know we should be asking. I 💯 recommend Mike to anyone and everyone needing assistance with a real estate transaction. A great man and a great realtor.

I came to this agency and Lynn Davis was the realtor and she was such an honest and trustworthy person. She lead me every step of way in selling my property from listing it all the way to closing. I highly recommend Lynn Davis to anyone looking for a straight forward realtor that has your best interest in mind all through the process.

Toni Brick

My husband and I saw our new home post one evening while we were on the hunt to relocate. Mike had us a viewing the next morning and an offer was made that afternoon. His quick attention to our excitement of purchasing this house was crucial as there were other offers that first day. Mike was also able to sell our previous home in one day which made this transition as easy as major moves can be. We are now happily settled in our forever home. Thank you Mike and Our Town Properties!

Jacob Rouse

Mike with Our Town Properties is the man! He is a honest, Christian man of integrity. Every time I have worked with him, he has closed quicker than expected and got a way better deal for me than I expected. I have nothing bad to say about my experience with Our Town Properties. If you are considering buying or selling a property, do yourself a favor a give these guys a call!
