    "Polite and Straight Forward!"

    Affordable is right! And we put it on our credit card. He showed up to do the estimate, was polite and straight forward. They did our job in 2 days. In and out and cleaned up everything!

    "Thank you for going the extra mile"

    My biggest concern was getting it done right. Manley did radon, Mold, moisture tests and cleaned our gutters! No more smell. Maybe it's my imagination but I'm not as stuffed up anymore. Thank you for going the extra mile. Me and my dog appreciate it.

    "Highly recommended!"

    We did not want a full encapsulation because it was too expensive and we didn't think it was necessary. Affordable Guru did it anyway and it cost us less than a "half encapsulation" quote we got from a big company out of SC.

    "Just an exceptional job"

    I have a concrete company but a mutual friend referred Manley so I gave him a shot. It was well worth it. I couldn't have done it cheaper or better with my boys. Just an exceptional job. Smooth. Great communication every step.

    "He saved us big bucks!!"

    We got a better price by negotiating with Manley ( I hope I can say that). The thing is he showed us, in detail, what everything costs and why. He saved us big bucks on the dehumidifiers too. We need more people like Andrew and Manley in this world. God Bless you both.

    "5 stars on every level"

    I could write a book. Suffice it to say: 5 stars on every level. The price was reasonable. They discovered rotten sill plates no one else saw. It was scary for us. They fixed them for a fraction of the cost of the second company we called. I could go on and on but no one will read a novel. Call the gurus.They are no nonsense folks.

    "Manley saved us a ton of hassle and money."

    We were told by others we had mold but the testing Crawlspace Guru did showed no mold. Manley saved us a ton of hassle and money.

    "We have already recommended him!"

    Manley and his guys did a great job for about half the other quotes. We have already recommended him to our son.

    "Truly a Pleasure Working with you!"

    Manley, it was truly a pleasure working with you. I would have loved to have you working with me at the White House considering your resourcefulness and ability to build relationships. Additionally, we essentially fired our other realtor after meeting you!

    "Beyond my Expectations!"

    Manley told me the truth. I needed to sell a 3000 square ft spec home. Other agents close to me told me the home was worth over $800,000. Manley not only did a comparative market analysis, but he spent an entire Sunday going into12 different comparable properties. He arrived at a figure of $635,000 to $655,000.So, I had an appraisal performed which came to $645,000. Manley was able to sell the house for $655,000. Manley was able to provide me with three offers within a few days of each other. He advised me not to take the highest offer because the buyers didn't seem as committed. He advised me to take the second highest offer but convinced the buyer’s agent to give us $10,000 non-refundable due diligence money to us. The buyer had trouble with his loan and tried to back out later, but the $10,000 kept him in. Manley was honest and performed far beyond my expectations. Somehow, Manley was able to identify which buyer we should choose because of the buyer's agent. Manley felt the buyer's agent would work through any problems that came up and she certainly did.

    "We would highly recommend Manley Nelson!"

    Manley did what we could not. We tried to sell as a For Sale By Owner in the hottest market in history. We had purchased our home just 8 months prior to placing our home on the market on our own. We had to sell as COVID forced us to move to Oregon for a new job at a new hospital.We didn’t believe we could pay real estate commissions and “break even’ with all the closing costs. However, after having issues with Buyers, we gave our neighbor, Manley, a chance. Manley figured out what our home was worth. We almost accepted two of our first offers, but Manley convinced us to wait one more week. We were under a serious time-crunch and about to give birth to our baby. With Manley’s encouragement and knowledge, we waited. Ten days later we received a new Offer from a better buyer. Manley was able to negotiate $10,000 more for us which was needed to “break even”. Manley took care of everything after that to make sure our house closed. We bought our home in October 2019 and received this suitable offer in November 2020. We did nothing to improve our house. Manley was more than a reliable, knowledgeable Realtor, but also a confident consultant. We would highly recommend Manley Nelson.

    "Life-Changing!"

    This may be a lengthy story, but I feel compelled to share it in the hopes it may help someone: Manley listed my land after I had been trying to sell it for 14 years. I live out of State. It was higher end property. Other Realtors had listed it to no avail. My listing agent moved to Florida and Manley was recommended by her.First Manley did an in-depth analysis of my land value in relation to comparable properties and as a function of the current market. He suggested (strongly) that I raise my asking price by over 30% ! This seemed counter-intuitive. Frankly it made very little sense to me but Manley shared a lot of data with me. I took a leap of faith as well. Manley also convinced me to invest about $5,000 in clearing trees and underbrush. After many years of no potential Buyers, I was reluctant (to say the least) but I trusted Manley’s experience. Manley got the tree guys, negotiated the job, oversaw the work and made sure the County and Fire Marshal were involved in the right way. He even had to get the lsnd re-approved for a septic permit; unbeknownst to me my permit from 2002 had expired so we had to start from scratch. Manley handled everything with the County environmental Health Dept. He knows his trade and the tricks of the trade. He works well with all sorts of people including inspectors. The inspections were supposed to take 16 weeks, but he got it done in 8 weeks. How? I do not know. Long story short, Manley got multiple showings via his guerilla marketing. In 14 years and 3 realtors I only had two showings. Manley was able to get two Offers simultaneously! This was following over a decade of not having even one Offer, ever. I was so excited I drove to North Carolina for the closing. It really felt like a miracle when I had that check in my hand after closing. It was for almost 30% more than my previous Realtor had it listed for just months earlier. I’m still not 100% sure how Manley accomplished this, but I would suggest you listen to what I thought were Manley’s “crazy” ideas. He has built and remodeled homes, developed land, and been a Realtor for almost 35 years (I believe). He told me he is an active member of the Realtors Land Institute. I don’t know what this means exactly but his results speak for themselves. This process wasn’t easy but he did instill confidence that we would succeed. In short, I’m a 73-year-old engineer and I wasn’t able to move forward with my dream of building a new home until Manley helped solve this one big problem. In a word, “Life-Changing”. In two words, “Trust Manley”.

    "Manley will not let you down!"

    I had every intention of “Selling by Owner,” until a friend passed this tidbit on to a fellow he knew, Manley Nelson. Manley showed up at my door one morning with a folder in hand. He introduced himself and told me he could list and save me money on the sale of my home. He explained his terms,handed me the folder, and left. I was shocked. I read every word in that folder, slept on it, talked in depth to a friend of mine (who is a realtor herself), and called Manley the next day. I have never been sorry! My home was a hard sell. Large with many levels, we knew this was not going to be easy. Manley never doubted for one moment that we would get our asking price. He held Open Houses, advertised in so many more places than I would ever been able to, and worked diligently until the house sold. He kept me informed every step of the way. I feel so grateful and blessed that this man walked into my life. If you are even considering putting your home on the market, I couldn’t recommend a better person to represent you. Manley will not let you down!!! Thank you, Manley.

    "I can’t Recommend him enough!"

    A common perception is that the average real estate agent doesn’t truly earn the commission of a real estate sale. With unethical behavior, a get-rich-quick mentality, and abhorrent laziness with something as simple as grammar and spelling for a MLS listings, it’s no wonder real estate agents have such a bad rap.Manley is not your average real estate agent. Manley blew my socks off with my recent buying and selling experience. He bent over backwards to help me buy a home in an extremely hot and competitive market and then turned around to help me quickly and efficiently sell my prior residence. His communication skills and follow up are top notch. His enthusiasm and positive demeanor make him a superb person to work with. There was no hesitation to decide to work with Manley again for my next real estate endeavor. I can’t recommend him enough.

    "He stayed on Top of all!"

    Manley never tired of showing me dozens of homes. In a seller’s market, Manley was miraculously able to negotiate a much lower purchase price even though the home was in one of the most desirable neighborhoods. He stayed on top of all the details and got the home and me to closing.After closing he helped me completely remodel the home by procuring and managing the tradesmen
