She definitely went the extra mile for my family’s needs!”
“We could not have been happier using Drew as our realtor! He made the whole process very easy and enjoyable! We chose drew because of other great reviews and we were not disappointed. Highly recommended!”
“Drew has helped us buy and sell a number of homes, including rental homes, over the last eight years so we have worked with him on numerous occasions. He is extremely professional and knows the real estate business better than most I've come in contact with over the years. I like his straight forward and realistic approach to selling homes, and since he knows the market, our homes have usually sold within the range he thought the market would bear. He has not only been a great realtor for us, but has become a friend as well. Thanks Drew for your great work!!”
“Drew is awesome! He showed us house for over a year while we teetered on the idea of buying. He got us I touch with all the people we needed for everything. When we did find the house we wanted, we were so disappointed to find out that it had already gone under contract. He stayed with it so closely, that the second it fell through, he had us under contract the same day!! He was very informative and communicated the entire process with us! He even brought us pie months after buying! So if you want an awesome realtor who will fight for what you want, help you every step of the way, and if you like pie... Drew is your guy!!”
“Drew is great and will help you find your next home if the price is right! He was knowledgeable to the homes available and even homes not yet listed. We fell in love with a house we hadn’t requested to visit because Drew knew our desires and found a house that checked all the boxes. Even as we went through the home buying process and my wife and mother in law had hundreds of questions, Drew was diligent, knowledgeable , and patient throughout it all. We will definitely be having Mr. Carey handle our home buying processes in the future.”
“Drew was amazing and helpful during all aspects of the home buying process. He helped me list my house and buy a new one and didn't mind me bugging him 1000 times during the process.”
“Drew is incredibly knowledgeable! He takes the time to find out your families needs and educates you in the best plan, without any pressure. He is professional, patient and kind. You will feel like you are working with a friend you have known for years! Drew is the best!!”
“Listen, if you’re buying a home and need someone who has a plethora of knowledge, personality that kills, and YOUR best interests at heart; call Drew Carey. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Drew sold my house in 3 days of having the key... He and his team are consummate pros. Everyone I met was highly responsive, that's the first time I've had that experience with a realtor! Drew really knew his stuff and gave me some advice that made me feel comfortable and at ease. I knew he was always working hard for me behind the scenes. It was clear that he genuinely loves getting to know his clients, their goals, and interests. And wants to do everything he can to help them reach those goals. He and his team have also developed a highly effective evidence based approach to selling homes, and it works wonders! Thank you Drew!”
“Drew is amazing. This is the second home we've bought with him. Highly recommended for all of buying and selling. He was always responsive and communicated through the entire process.”
“Drew Carey helped me tremendously on many occasions! He was easy to talk to and genuinely cared about my needs with finding a home and finding the right one for me! He knows exactly what he's talking about and if he doesn't know he'll find out for you in a timely manner. I couldn't recommend a better Realtor and I'm so thankful for the home that Drew Carey found for me!”
“Drew was great to work with! He was very helpful and patient during our home search. He listened to what we were looking for and was always available when we had questions. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Drew has sold two homes for me and my family. He is great to work with and always has his clients best interest at heart. Will continue to use him on future real estate transactions.”
“Drew and team are awesome. He sold the most expensive house in the neighborhood in record time and for full price. Then he helped us buy our dream house in the perfect location. High professionalism, technical skills, and good old-fashioned common sense. I will never use anyone else.”
“We really appreciated the sales approach that Drew, Amanda and the rest of the group have. This was our first time working with an agent and we were very impressed. Drew saw the potential in the house we had for sale and worked with us to get the best price possible.”
“It was a great experience and was made smooth without stress. Our rep had a buyer very quick and when we appraised lower he was able to get a decent negotiation for the situation.”
“We needed to sell our house quick. The Edrington Team was able to do so after just 2 days on the market, and for more than what we expected to get for it! We would highly recommend The E Team to anyone who is looking for a realtor.”
“Didn't try to push us into buying a house. Pointed out flaws we didn't notice about houses we looked at. Drew really tried to help us find a home we were happy with and wasn't just interested in making a sale. Very quick to response to our questions.”
“I recently went through the process of purchasing my first home. When I started looking at homes, I was going alone; however, a friend recommended the edrington team. Drew Carey was my realtor and he provided a very comfortable walk through the process of offering and closing. Advice was provided and if he didn't know the answer, he was able to use the experience of his team to provide answers and expectations. Although my closing took longer than I would have liked, it was not due to the edrington team. They pushed the process along and finally got me on my new home. I was very satisfied with the team and Drew specifically. If you need a realtor, ask for Drew Carey and he will come on down to make the price right!”
“Our agent Drew Carey was very personable, very patient with meet ups meeting us local from our multiple out town trips and figured out how to put us in what we where looking for and we couldnt be happier.”
“Great group of people to work with. Very helpful and knowledgeable of the area and different situations. Worked through some difficult issues with regard to finding us the right home and the frustrations that come with the whole process. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Their help and expertise was definitely appreciated.”
“We loved working with Drew! We relocated from another state and Drew always made time for me whenever I came to visit my husband. Our house searching adventures were always fun and we made the most of every home we saw together. I loved his "go with the flow" demeanor and his ability to make us always feel like his top priority. I can't see ever working with anyone else in the Chattanooga area!”
“From the very beginning, The Edrington Team was very aggressive in selling my home, from the initial listing to the negotiations. The professional listing photos resulted in several home showings and eventually the selling of my home. The Edrington Team sold my home in 2 months.”
“We couldn't be happier! Moving from Las Vegas to Chattanooga can be a daunting task for anyone but Drew Carey made our experience excellent! Drew is exceptional at what he does. Drew listened to our wants and needs and found houses he knew we would be interested in. On top of all his knowledge and professionalism, Drew is kind, friendly and VERY patient. Once we found our home, Drew and his team were with us all the way, even after the sale. Not only would we say Drew is the best realtor we've had, we also call him a friend. If you're looking for a home in this great area, call The Edrington Team! Thank you all - you have made this experience the best!”
“Drew was very helpful in finding a buyer for my home. He was very quick to respond to questions I had and made the process very smooth. I would recommend him if you are looking to sell a house quick.”
“The Edrington Team did an excellent job helping my husband and I purchase a home. We were "on the fence" about even using a realtor, but we are so glad that we did. Had we not, I truly feel we wouldn't have gotten such a great deal. I highly recommend them for their expertise and responsiveness!”
“The Edrington Team dropped the mic! They were terrific in recommending houses that fit our needs, meeting the demands of our hectic schedules to show us houses, speedy in replying to our questions, and excellent in negotiating a great deal for us. They treated us like family! Thanks, Drew and Katie Reed”
“Drew Carey and the Edrington Team are a pleasure to work with. As a general contractor, I come in contact with many real estate agents. I feel that I am qualified to know the difference between an 'ok' real estate agent and one that excels. The Edrington Team excels. Drew and the team promptly answer my phone calls and followed up on questions and concerns. They know the Chattanooga and surrounding market and can lead and guide both sellers and buyers in their real estate transactions. I am currently working with Drew on the future purchase of several 'flip houses' and look forward to a continued relationship. Steve Warren Citadel Construction and Remodeling”
“We had an amazing experience with Drew Carey and the Edrington Team. My husband and I currently live in MD and we owned a house in Chattanooga that we wanted to sell ASAP. The Edrington Team facilitated over 20 showings and got our house sold in less than three months which was an impressive feat as the house had been on and off the market for years. Drew and the Team were great from the get-go. Drew is a very knowledgeable, honest, hard working, and motivated professional. He and the Team communicated with us throughout the process and we were never left wondering what was going on. We would highly recommend Drew and the Edrington Team!”
“I will recommend Drew Carey to all my friends and family in the future. He literally responds immediately to every phone call/text, and I'm fairly certain he works 24/7. He has extensive knowledge of the area market, and you can trust that he will do what's best for you.”
“Drew came in and was very knowledgeable in the market and felt confident he could get price we wanted for our home. Had their photographer come in and take wonderful pictures. Home sold for asking price 5 days from listing. Drew was helpful in every step of the process and very easy to reach. I would highly recommend him to anybody and will use him for any future real estate services.”
“Drew Carey with the Edrington Team was very helpful in the selling of my houses. He was very responsiveness, showed a high level of competency, and definitely has a go-getter attitude. I would highly recommend his and the Edrington Team services.”
“The Edrington team made our home buying experience a simple pleasure. Our realtor was Mr. Drew Carey, with his relaxed demeanor and splendid sense of humor, my wife and I felt confident we were with the right person. Always a simple call or text away, Drew made our life easy and pleasurable with this home buying experience. When it came time to go into negotiation on the price of the home, the situation never felt heated and full of pressure. In the end, both parties, the sellers and buyers, walked away happy. We thank Drew for all that he has done for us, and we wish everyone to give him a call if shopping for a new dwelling. He might just find what your looking for. Thanks Drew! The Martins Also, ask him how fast he can grow a mustache”
“Drew Carey was our agent from the Edrington Team. We wanted an agent who would work to sell our house, not just take a listing and then ask us to mark it down for an easy sell. Drew did that. He also used a professional photographer to take pictures of our house and used different forms of advertising it. That immediately generated showings. He always returned our calls immediately. He got immediate feedback for us, and followed up on that feedback to determine interest in our property. Once interest was shown he worked hard to put together a deal. The whole process was effortless on our part, and the easiest sell we have ever gone through. Also, we were out of town during the whole process, and Drew handled everything, we just showed up for closing, which was smooth sailing. Thank you Drew for getting our house sold quickly and for making the process so easy for us!”
“I was paired up with Drew Carey from The Edrington Team and had a very positive experience. Drew was friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help me find a home in the Chattanooga area. I liked their head shot photo on Zillow and the idea of having a team behind me. I would highly recommend them for anyone interested in finding the right home.”
“We had a great experience working with Drew. We had a few bad experiences during the initial buying process before we began working with Drew and he helped us through those. He was quick answering any questions we had and worked around our schedule to view houses. I always heard back from him quickly (the same day). I would definitely refer Drew and his team, in fact I already have referred him to other people I know who will be looking for houses in the future.”
“The Edrington Team was very helpful in showing us homes that interested us. They were very accommodating in helping us purchase a home and following through with the whole process as we were out of state buyers. It has been an effortless process with their assistance. I would recommend the E-Team for your real estate transaction.”
“As first time home buyers, my husband and I didn't have a clue where to start. Drew Carey, our realtor, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Drew was always available whenever we had questions or concerns. Even though we were picky, Drew was always patient and gave us many different options. Drew helped us find our dream home, and made the process easy and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Drew and the Edrington team to anyone looking to find their dream house!”
“Drew Carey was very knowledgeable. He was a huge help finding everything we wanted in a new home. He was quick to respond, and showed us new listings that fit out criteria as soon as they were listed. I would highly recommend him and his team.”
“I did research on all the other realtors in the area, even called a few to ask questions, and they all turned me off! Most of them were rude, and that's speaking of those who actually returned calls. These things, as well as a referral, are ultimately what led us to hire Drew an...”
“We worked with Drew Carey from the Edrington Team in Chattanooga, and were very impressed. From our first interaction with George Edrington to our longer-term work with Drew, they were professional, easy to work with, and very capable. Drew was patient with our questions and exhaustive home search, as we were new to the area and knew little about neighborhoods and schools during our initial search. I'll also give a plug to the Edrington team's website and our capability to conduct a great deal of independent research about various homes, areas, schools, and the like. The site really helped us target homes for visits, it allowed us to track our favorites, and allowed Drew to find homes similar to the ones we'd found. It was an all-around great experience, and Drew and the Edrington Team's help really made it as simple a process as we could expect! I'd highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Great realtor! Made the experience of buying a house much less stressful! Nice to have a knowledge team to lead you in the right direction. Drew Carey helped me Find my first home, and showed me as many houses as I wanted to see before I picked the one I wanted. I highly recomme...”
“We had a fantastic experience with The Edrington Team at Prudential. My husband and I had difficult work schedules and a long list of demands for our "dream home". Drew Carey worked closely with us every step of the way. He managed to find several houses within our price range t...”
“They were great to work with! Drew found me the house I wanted and made the process easy until the day of closing! Drew made sure I got a successful inspection and made sure the seller made all the repairs before moving forward with the purchase! Also he negotiated to get the asking price lower!”
“I have been working with Drew Carey to view some properties. He is very professional and friendly. He put me instantly at ease with his friendly attitude. I also have to say that what could be a tedious ordeal is not so because of Drew's unusually good sense of humor that he shares while still remaining professional all the way.”
“For the last two years I have been looking for a home in the Chattanooga area. The Edrington team have been very patient and helpful through this process. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a home.”
“As a first time home shopper, the Edrington team were everything I possibly could have asked for. They went above and beyond to answer any and all questions I had and made sure I was completely comfortable every step of the way! I haven't found the right home at the right time for me just yet, but I know where I will go when I'm ready.”
“My boyfriend and I have been searching for starter home with Drew Carey who has been simply fantastic. Extremely knowledgable about area listings and very attentive to our needs and wants. Our budget is not super large so we are still searching for the perfect home but I am thoroughly enjoying my experience so far and would recommend Drew to any one I know, I actually already have!”
“Drew helped my buy my soon to be new house and was so, so helpful. As a first time home buyer, I had lots of questions that he was happy to answer and helped me make some good decisions and avoid a lot of headaches. He took me to see some really great houses, including one that I tried to buy, but, sadly, the seller changed her mind. Even there, he was supportive and helped me bounce back and find the home I'll be closing on shortly! He was really responsive when I needed to talk, and very good about keeping me informed of everything that was happening during the negotiating and closing phases. I would highly recommend Drew, and everyone at the Edrington team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Drew Carey with The Edrington Team on the purchase of a home in the Chattanooga area. The transaction became a little tricky due to some personal financing issues and Drew continued forging ahead until he was able to acquire financing for the transaction. There were times I wanted to give up but he wouldn't let my dream die. Thanks to Drew and his knowledge and professionalism, I began enjoying this new property as of 3:00 p.m. today! I have already recommended Drew to a friend for which he has closed two properties and working on a third! I highly recommend Drew to the experienced and the inexperienced real estate purchaser. You will be in the best of hands!!”
“I have been in the market for a house about a year now. I contacted the Edrington team because of the reputation they have built and after my experience I realized it was a well deserved reputation. I worked directly with Drew Carey who was my main contact throughout the process. Although Drew was my main contact, each individual on the team played intimate roles. It's great to be able to ask questions about a house and get an honest reply. What sold me on the Edrington team was when I asked Drew a question and he replied with "I don't know, but I will find out for you". Buying a house will possibly be the biggest financial decision of my life and the Edrington team made it not only a pleasant experience but a trustworthy experience. Every house I buy or sell in the future will be left in the hands of the Edrington team in chattanooga. I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking for in the beginning, especially when it came to location and the possibility of reselling in the future. Their knowledge of chattanooga and the housing market was absolutely stunning in my opinion. The Edrington team does not sell houses, they provide the knowledge and market forecasting to make the right business decision. I will never again use a real estate agent to buy or sell, I will use the Edrington team at Prudential.”
“I really enjoy having Drew Carey assist me in finding a home. He helps me find what I'm looking for down to details and yet he does not B.S. me on anything. Drew isn't just out to make a sale. He is actually trying to help me find a home that I will enjoy being in.”
“He was really patient and very enthusiastic. He worked really hard to make the process look easy. I would not hesitate to recommend him to people who are interested in buying.”
“I worked with Drew. He was very professional. He gave us options that we felt comfortable with. We never felt pressured or stressed. We are still pursuing a purchase for the future. Just postponing our decisions due to current budget and timing.”
“I couldn't be happier with The Edrington team! Drew Carey and his team were extremely helpful finding us homes to look at. They took our needs and budget and showed us many homes we can see ourselves living in. I highly recomened them to assist you with your next or first home purchase!”
“I would recommend The Edrington Team to anyone! Drew is currently showing me houses and helped me rent a house about a year ago. He is incredibly helpful and can answer any question I throw at him. I love that Drew works with a team they are quick, to the point, and on my side to help me find exactly what I want for the price I want. I will definitely continue to use Drew and the Edrington team!”
“I have used the Edrington Team numerous times over the years as a reference. I am currently getting my house ready to list for sale. Drew Carey has been an invaluable resource! He has gone beyond the call of duty to help me get top dollar for my home in this market! I highly recommend Drew and the Edrington Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in Chattanooga.”
“I have known Drew for years and he has always been very helpful. He's always been available to answer any questions regarding real estate. I have referred him to several of my friends and family, and will continue to do so in the future. Drew or one of his team members has always dropped everything to show me a house when I found one I liked.”
“Thanks to Drew Carey, I had an awesome experience purchasing a house. Even when I didn't expect information to come through, he was right on target and on time with his information regarding the sale and inspections etc. This is a great team to work with. If you're looking for a team to keep you posted during the process of purchasing a home, look no further than here. Thx again”
“The Edrington Team made the process of purchasing my house such a delight. As a first time home buyer I was glad to find the exact help I needed in identifying the steps to take, knowing my budget, and giving me all the tools I needed to find the house that was perfect for me. I had the privilege of working with Drew and he was no more then a call or text away whenever I needed him.”
“I was so thankful that the Edrington Team responded so quickly to my email and scheduled a showing with the home owner. They were able to accommodate my request for day and time and that was so appreciated. Their response was extremely professional within a Chattanooga real estate market which is so saturated with buyers and sellers. Thank you again Edrington Team! Melissa Hoesman”
“Drew Carey brokered a long and tough negotiation process and stood by us even when it looked as if there would be no sale. He encouraged patience and it paid off. On multiple occasions he drove 45 minute each way to stay with me for inspections, etc.. Kept he informed constantly of status of negotiations, repairs, etc.. I would (and gave) recommend Drew to anyone interested in buying or selling a house.”
“The team was very knowledgeable with our home's area. They were always available to answer any questions and we were under contract in 3 months! Great staff throughout the entire process!”
“Selling our home with the Edrington team was such an easy process from beginning to end. Our house sold less than 3 months of being on the market. Our realtor, Drew, was extremely professional and helpful. He kept us well informed throughout the whole process so there was never any wondering. I would highly recommend using the Edrington team to sell your home.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with the Edrington Team. They answered all of our questions and were easily accessible anytime we needed anything. We especially were impressed with Drew Carey's knowledge and expertise. I would highly recommend the Edrington Team.”
“My roommate and I had been looking for a rental house for about two months after our apartment complex caught on fire twice. We tried Craigslist, homes.com, and many other methods but we could not find anything! I called Andrew Carey from the Edrington team with Prudential explained our situation to him and let him know exactly what we were looking for and how fast we needed it. Andrew called me back and sent me an email with multiple listings within 5 minutes. My roommate and I drove past some of the listings and picked one that we were interested in renting. I called Andrew and let him know which one we wanted to see and he had a viewing set up for us that day! We are now in the rental house and I could not be happier! All of the paperwork and little details were explained we had absolutely no questions! I highly highly recommend the Edrington team especially Andrew Carey!”
“Very smooth, very professional, a good experience. We got exactly the house we wanted. We requested a showing on short notice and were able to see the house that same day. Loan process was extremely professional and they worked with me to get the best rate and payment, not to mention help me understand the process.”
“My wife and I just purchased a house through Drew Carey at The Edrington Team. From the beginning of the process to the end, Drew and The Edrington Team did a flawless job and we were very impressed. They helped us search for a new home, negotiate the price, and the closing went so smoothly. I would highly recommend The Edrington Team to anyone who is either looking for a new home or to sell their current home. They are so very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job!”
“After several tries over the last few years of trying to find a new home with no success with other agents, I was recommended by a co-worker to give The Edrington Team a try based their experiences with them. I found The Edrington Team to very helpful, knowledgeable and made the entire process of buying a home very easy for me. In working with them, I was able to see that their entire team was involved in making my decision process as easy as possible for me and at the same time where looking out for my best interest during this process.”
“I am closing on my house in the next month and have been beyond pleased with my experience so far. I ended up in a house I never would have found on my own but it was at the suggestion of Doug that I check out a great opportunity. Drew and Doug were able to recommend top-notch in...”
