Regina Santore, REALTOR, Wallace Real Estate

"I highly recommend Regina Santore for all your real estate needs. I contacted Regina because she helped my husband and I purchase a home several years ago. She found the perfect home for us. Regina is reliable, dependable and looks out for the best interest of her clients. She can be part therapist and will hold your hand through the selling or buying process if needed. Regina helped me with a complex selling of a property I co-owned. There were some legal issues involved before the property could be listed for sale. When I finally received the legal ok to sell and arrived at a mutual agreement with the co-owners; the property was listed. Regina did bring in a colleague Christa Rosenberg who handles commercial real estate. Christa was expert in working thru all the intricacies in getting the property listed and sold. She was patient, understood my many concerns and carefully responded. Regina and Christa are certainly a dynamic duo. I had a great team supporting me. Laura"

"Regina has been an absolute joy to work with. She is not only fun and friendly, but she has a keen eye for issues with a property and has experience with renovations. As a first time home-buyer with a tight budget, she is an incredible advocate and asset in helping to ensure I didn't experience the pitfalls she has seen other first-timers face. She has a wealth of contacts with contractors and professionals, and is a living encyclopedia on native and invasive plants. She will let you know what plants are in your yard and how to take care of them. She even helped me strategize how to offer for less than asking on a property and get it accepted! I highly recommend her especially if you are a first timer like me, and if you have a love of gardening and plants."

"Absolutely amazing, works for you, and goes above and beyond!!! She is not only my realtor but became my friend too. I went back to her to sell the house she helped us buy 5 yrs ago that is how much I trust her. I love the great service!! I was in a difficult situation with the house if not for Regina I could not have made it through this process. She definitely fought for me to get the best price and looked into all the offers to help me make the best decision possible. She continued to tell me not to give up hope as the first offer fell through that there would be more and better offers. She was able to look at the house objectively to let me know what changes needed to be made for us to get top dollar. She was right on everything!!!"

"Regina is incredibly kind, responsive, patient, professional, knowledgeable, and an absolute gem. Our house hunting began from out-of-state and Regina was so helpful with every aspect. She has so much expertise, knowledge, and advice to share and made us feel confident we'd be able to find a home from a distance with her as our eyes and ears. Once our house hunt was in person we were even more impressed with Regina's eye for detail, straight forward approach, and ability to think ahead. She helped with everything from spotting potential issues, negotiating offers, considering different options, and sharing recommendations for any work/repairs we may have needed to think about. Regina was always on our side and never left us to feel like anything less than her top priority. She was our ace in the hole when it came to negotiations and making sure we got what we had hoped for while still being realtic and straightforward every step of the way. Moving from out of state, we truly feel lucky to have found Regina because it made all the difference in our house hunting experience and we know she's always just a phone call away if we need her. If you're looking for the best, Regina Santore is it."

"We had the best experience with Regina in buying and selling our home. We originally moved to Knoxville in 2015 and considered buying our first home. She came recommended from a friend and really opened our eyes to the things we should look for when house hunting. She literally got down into crawl spaces and pointed out anything she thought was concerning: cracks in foundation, subpar building materials, roofing, mold, water damage, gutters, basements, things we would have never thought to consider. We never felt pressured to buy even though we looked at 20+ houses with her over several days. If she felt the house wasn’t right for us, she let us know why instead of pushing us to put in offers. We decided to wait and make sure we planned on staying in Knoxville before buying. She made sure we knew she would be there to help us when we decided we were ready. In 2018 we knew we were ready to buy, and Regina was ready to go with another round of house showings. She gave us the same attention and consideration as the first time around. We thought we found our dream house and were ready to put in an offer. Thankfully, with her attention to detail she urged us to hold off and check it out after a rainstorm. We took her advice and when we went back noticed serious issues with water in the basement. With her guidance, we finally found the perfect home. She helped negotiate a good price as well as navigate all the confusing parts of purchasing it. When Knoxville got record breaking rain in 2019, we were so thankful Regina had helped us choose a solid house that avoided the flooding many of our neighbors and friends experienced. This year, my husband received a job offer out of state we couldn’t pass up and had to move quickly. We hated to leave our home, but we knew Regina would help us sell it. Her expertise came full circle when the value of our home appreciated and sold very quickly. We attribute this to Regina’s knowledge and guidance when we originally bought the house. Regina has set the bar very high for us when it comes to realtors, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home. She is honest, thorough, organized, and professional. Most importantly, she is on her client’s side through the whole process. Regina knows her stuff!"
