Testimonials
"
Dia was an outstanding agent making the selling process of my house seamless even with several challenges that we faced during the process. Her knowledge of the market, schools, lenders, and real estate attorneys facilitated the process. Would certainly refer Dia and work with her again

Dia did a fantastic job representing our home for sale, from the quality of the photos to figuring out the market value. Our sale had a few hiccups beyond our control, but Dia was able to professionally navigate them and keep us on course. She never stopped advocating for us to all those involved and I believe she was a major contributor to our successful sale. We highly recommend this realtor!

We worked with Abby on the sale of our home and purchase of the new one. We were looking for an agent that would understand our needs and Abby, with her vast knowledge of the area and properties, not only sold our house for top dollar but also found the perfect one to fit our needs exactly. In working with Abby, we found a friend. She was always very responsive, returning our calls and texts (there were many!) promptly.
We highly recommend her and her company. We couldn't be happier! Thanks Abby!

Dia is very sweet and helpful. We were first time home buyers and under a very tight timeline. Dia was very informative along the process and always paid close attention to details. She would tell us the truth if she saw a property might be a problem with FHA and I appreciated that. Dia was able to get us into a new home even before our deadline and in less than 30 days with help from my lender. I appreciate her services.

When it was time to put the house on the market, I interviewed several agents. I was thoroughly impressed with her preparation for our first meeting and the amount of information she provided me about the company, their services and the local real estate market. More important than her total professionalism and expertise, Abby understood the emotional side of selling a home that had been occupied by a family for over 60 years. Throughout the process, I could count on Abby to respond immediately to questions and concerns. I recommend Abby Hood without reservation. A great experience working with her!

Dia was our realtor. We moved to Atlanta Metro a year and a half a go. We decided to buy a house after renting for a year and a half. The market for homes here is crazy. Houses go on the market and sell the next day. It's important to have a realtor that is attentive but also knowledgeable. Dia managed both of these of things well. She also was able to negotiate for us in a market that I felt was nonnegotiable. That made me happy. My wife and I have different taste, which made it hard to find a home. Dia was able to help us find a happy medium. Lastly, it's not just Dia. She has a team of people working with her to make this process go smoothly, which is very hard thing to do. However, they were able to manage it masterfully for us. Thank you Dia for your hard work and getting us into a house that we are over the moon about.

Abby had our interests in mind from the beginning to the end. She's very detail oriented and helped me with everything I needed to do. She sold our house in nine days and then walked us through the closing procedures. I can't say enough about what a professional and personable realtor she is.

My husband and I can't say enough good things about Abby Hood. From our very first conversation we were extremely comfortable. She made it very easy for us to understand the selling process and what to expect. She responded immediately when we contacted her and always addressed our concerns promptly. We would recommend her and her team without hesitation.

Every step of the way, I felt comfortable with Abby. Selling my house was a big step and could've been scary, but I was in the great hands with Abby and her team!

The real estate industry is highly competitive. When faced with a number of agents to choose from, Abby was the obvious choice for me. Abby is experienced, highly professional, thorough, calm and as responsive as you can hope for. Abby's expertise working with both buyers and sellers provided the knowledge and information I was looking for when selecting a home and successfully negotiating a contract.
Abby is exactly what you need to find a home in today's competitive market. She was always available to show homes as soon as they came on the market, allowing us to make a timely, competitive offer on the home we selected.
I was so thankful for Abby's thoroughness and follow through once we went under contract. There are so many little things that need to be done and most are time sensitive

Working with Dia exceeded all my expectations. During our initial meeting she was well prepared. Dia was very professional and responded to questions in a timely manner. Truly a great experience working with Dia and I will definitely work with her in the future. Dia was relentless in ensuring that the transaction was smooth as possible and provided updates in a timely manner. Thank you Dia!

Dia and I worked together to sell my home in the beginning of 2019. She knew exactly what to do to help me get my house ready to go on the market. She knows what buyers are looking for in the different price ranges and for mine specifically, the staging, painting, repairs, the professional video and pictures made the difference. Dia was very engaged with all of the potential buyers that inquired on the house and worked with them or their agents to answer questions and show the home. Dia was great with negotiating the sale of my home and helping find the happy medium between both parties. I would recommend Dia to anyone looking to sell or buy a home and I plan on using her again on another transaction.
Thank you Dia!

Abby has sold two houses for us in the last two years! She is a true professional, listens to your needs, and responds to questions and any issues right away. She has your interests in mind and doesn't put her own before yours. I would hire her again!

It was great having Abby as a realtor. She has outstanding knowledge of the housing market and was always available to answer questions and show homes. Not to mention very patient with us as it took several months for us to find a home!

Dia has been one of the best Realtors I have worked with, she was professional but also personal, always on time, and quick to reply to my calls and emails. Dia has a great knowledge of the area, and what is most important, she listened, and heard, what was important to me and my family, and helped us find it. Thank you Dia!

We met Dia through a mortgage broker that had used her for his mom. On first meeting I was so impressed with her friendliness and knowledge of the market in our area. I had so many questions and she was prompt and thorough in her responses. At one point in our process we decided not to go forward and she reassured me that when we were ready she would be there. In a few months we were ready to sell and she listed our house. It sold in three days for more than we originally thought! She recommended a mortgage broker that was phenomenal in helping us secure a loan for our new home. She was with us at the closing for the home we sold, at the meetings for the design center for our new home and the pre-construction meeting with the builders. Her negotiation skills are second to none; she always had our back. She is far more than a realtor she is now a friend. I will continue to recommend her to anyone that wants the most contentious agent with a superior work ethic.

We have been in contact with Abby for years...Long before we were even in a position to buy a home! Despite our "readiness", Abby always made it a point to reach out to us. She even remembered our wedding date and checked in after our first year of marriage! When we were FINALLY in a position to buy our first home, choosing our real estate agent was a no brainer! Abby was patient and attentive and worked diligently to find us a home that met all of our must haves AND our "wants". We would recommend Abby to anyone looking for an agent and when the time comes, we know she will be our agent again and again!

Dia Wall is a powerhouse of a realtor. She will make the process as seamless as possible and you couldn't find someone more knowledgeable. We used her to sell and purchase and she more than surpassed our expectations for everything.
Dia will fight for you and can negotiate like a boss.
She will help you accurately assess your house for sale and after taking her recommendations we were able to get a cash offer on our house within a day.
When you buy with Dia as your representative, you will absolutely get the best bang for your buck. She will not make a sale just for the sake of making a sale, she will work to help you get the home that's a perfect fit for you.
To sum it up, excellent, top-notch, professional, courteous, knowledgeable, hard working

Dia is incredible! Her enthusiasm, knowledge, and persistence makes her a joy to work with. She set clear expectations of the home buying process and I never felt misinformed. Dia understood my wants and needs, and made it happen! We started my home buying experience in February 2018 and closed on a new construction home in May 2018!
As a first time home buyer I am extremely satisfied with Dia's service, and highly recommend that you give her a try!

We could not be more pleased with the level of service that Dia provided us. She was there with us every step of the way throughout the process of selling our old home and purchasing our new home. She was always accessible, and ready to go to bat for us at a moment's notice. We will definitely recommend her to anyone who is in the market for a realtor!

Abby has been so wonderful throughout our entire house-buying experience!

Before starting my review, allow me to say that I will definitely work with Abby Hood again. She was instrumental in marketing and selling my house. I wish I had more properties to sell - I will hand her the keys to all of the properties, sit back and watch her do her magic...
Abby is a professional and she is knowledgeable in Real Estate. She's a great resource. I can say, from first hand experience, that she represents you, the client and she's not all about herself. She works tirelessly on behalf of the client. I am glad and satisfied to have chosen her to sell my house and I look forward to working with her again.
ps:
I will recommend Abby to my friends and family members and to others who are in the process of selling their homes... I'm sure she's equally great in representing you in purchasing your dream house.

We worked with Abby Hood. She was honest, professional and knowledgeable. Their photographer and consultant were both excellent which helped our photos look amazing! We had 15 showings in the first week, had two offers in the first three days and were under contract on a third offer in less than two weeks. Abby was amazing and kept us in the loop and walked us through every step of the process. We closed in just over a month and sold our house for asking price. I highly recommend Abby!

Abby was a joy to work with and made selling our house very easy. She was very knowledgeable about the local area when it came to assessing the value of the house and putting it on the market - and right! Because we relocated to Phoenix from Marietta, the whole process could have been very stressful, but Abby was always on top of everything, answered our questions and concerns quickly, and went over and beyond to make sure we did not worry about anything once we made the move. I would highly recommend Abby to anyone looking to sell a house in her market!

Abby is AMAZING! From the first time I called her, and even now, weeks after I closed on my house, she has been nonstop wonderful to work with. She was so patient with my fiancé and I being first time homebuyers, answering our questions throught the day (and night sometimes), always responding immediately to texts, emails, and phone calls. If I ever need to move again, I will definitely be giving Abby a call back, and I would recommend her to any of my friends or family in a second.

Abby is dedicated to her clients and did everything she could to make our process go smoothly. When my husband and I found the house we wanted in early November she did everything she could for us to speed up the process and had us in our new home by Thanksgiving. Couldn't ask for a more helpful and reliable realtor!

Dia did an amazing job helping our family find our perfect home. We searched for three months and looked at many homes. Throughout this process Dia was patient, accommodating, knowledgeable, and always gave her honest opinion. We felt that we truly had a partner in this long home buying journey, someone we could trust. Dia is highly recommended to all our friends and family!

Dia Wall, is the absolute best! She is extremely professional, personable, and a masterful negotiator. Her knowledge and expertise of Georgia real estate is impressive. We were in the process of moving from Northern California to Georgia. We contacted Dia by phone and was impressed with her presentation.
Soon after, we met with Dia at her office in Georgia. Again, her presentation was incredible. She developed a list of properties that were exactly what we were looking for. We eventually decided to buy a new construction home. We encountered several issues throughout the building process. However, Dia took care of them all. If you want an agent who will work tirelessly for you, who has mastered the Georgia real estate market, and who will make sure you are completely satisfied, Look no further, Dia Wall is the best. We consider her a friend.

Abby is knowledgeable, friendly and has the patience of a saint! We have looked at well over 200 houses with Abby and she was always professional. She sold one house for us and worked diligently to get it sold at a fair price.
