Client Testimonials
After the death of my husband, I wanted to move away from Myrtle Beach and hurricanes to be closer to family in Lexington. My REALTORS there, Jewell and Kristie Knight, found Sallie, and she was a perfect fit. She knows the Lexington area very well. She was patient with me, as I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, and only had a short time to find a house. Sallie spotted the "For Sale by Owner" sign as we were looking at another house. She called and got us in for a showing right away. She helped with all the details of closing, getting the few repairs done before I moved in, and always went above and beyond every step of the way. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Tricia H. ~ June, 2023
Sallie is absolutely amazing. We had a house that we were having trouble selling due to a horrible HOA. She trudged through the quicksand of this HOA to help us get the house sold. When the outcome seemed bleak, she was always there to offer other ways to get the property sold. Thank you so much for everything you've done!
Zachary R. ~ Feb, 2023
After months of waiting to start house hunting, I finally said, "Just do it!!!" My mom was in the process of looking as well so that made me even more determined to not only get a house but put my mom in one before Christmas. Once being referred to Sallie, I was not disappointed at all. She shared information with us, guided us and never turned us away!!! Along with her help, she had John assist as well which made things not only easy, but fun. This journey seemed stressful sometimes, but all worries went away because we were always reassured it was going to happen! I would definitely recommend Sallie Chester to anyone and to make it even better she has my grandmother’s name!!! Sallie, you did an awesome job for my mom and me. We were truly blessed!!! You're the best!!!
Theresa S (Mother: Laverne) ~ August, 2022
In my profession I speak with many Realtors and Sallie Chester was an absolute pleasure to assist when she contacted my office to obtain the governing documents for a potential buyer interested in a home in a community managed by my company.
Mandi Sherwood ~ 2022
Thank you to our REALTOR (for the 3rd time!), Sallie Chester -- she got us top dollar and made the whole process of selling our home a breeze! Best agent in the area!! Call her if you need an agent, buying or selling! She has helped us do both!
Eric and Nina W ~ June, 2022
Sallie is the best! She goes far above and beyond what is “required” of an agent. In this market, you need to be working with the best to have an offer accepted. Sallie guided us in ways to ensure that we had an aggressive offer to win but also structured in a way that we felt safe and weren’t completely exposing ourselves. She will always text back, even at 10pm when I am blowing her up about another home. She also helped keep things running smoothly throughout the entire loan process. She checks all the boxes and then some! We would work with Sallie again and refer friends and family in a heartbeat.
Kyler and Emily M ~ May, 2022
Sallie, you did it; of course you did--you're you. You are sunshine to all around you. Thank you for looking out for us. We saw this jade bracelet and had to pick it up just for you. The meaning behind jade is "love and balance." That is you all the way!!
Terry and Bureda H ~ May, 2022
Sallie Chester and John Covington were our REALTORS for our Lake Murray house sale in November, 2021. They did prep work for one week and the house sold in four hours. Congratulations, Sallie, on being named CCRA's REALTOR of the Year.
Jim and Blenda D ~ Jan, 2022
Congratulations for being named Central SC REALTOR of the year for 2021. WELL DESERVED! We much enjoyed dealing with you and John on the sale of our lake house. You did a super job and made it very easy for us. If someone asks us what REALTOR they should get – you are the person!!
Stay well & thank you for what you did.
Bruce and Judy C ~ Jan, 2022
Sallie Chester is the Greatest and most Outstanding real estate agent. Sallie is the most knowledgeable agent in all aspects of the Lake Murray area and especially Harbour Watch. She uses the most current marketing tools to make your home sell quickly. She'll even use drone photography if needed. If you listen and follow the advice she gives, your home will sell - NOW so be ready to move out! Sallie sold our home in TWO days - might have been ONE but we were not ready to show two hours after listing. She will keep you informed at all times and will even arrange for a cleaning service to come in after the movers leave and before the final walk thru. Do not hesitate to use Sallie - she's the BEST. You will not be disappointed.
Jim and Mary M. ~ Oct, 2021
Sallie Chester and John Covington were our realtors for selling our Lake Murray house, and we were thoroughly pleased with them from the beginning and throughout the sale. Not only were they knowledgeable about the value of property on the lake and in our area, they were also personable and listened to what we wanted and thought. After we met the first time, Sallie and John followed up immediately on ideas we had about who might be interested in buying and kept us informed during the selling process. We closed on the house in less than 2 months from start to finish. Thank you Sallie and John for making the sale of our house so easy!
Judy and Bruce C ~ Sept. 2021
What a stellar performance by a seasoned real estate agent!

Amanda S. ~ July, 2021
It was a pleasure working with Sallie to sell our home. Her professionalism, experience, honesty and integrity made the selling process easy. Sallie knows the market and was able to effectively communicate her knowledge to us as well as to other real estate professionals. She was able to anticipate potential problems and provide a solution to them. I would strongly recommend Sallie to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate.
Mike and Alicia J. ~May 2021
Using her experience and extensive knowledge of the area, Sallie helped my husband and I find just what we were looking for! She navigated the details seamlessly, and provided exceptional service and communication throughout the process.
Ron & Sarah M ~ April 2021
Sallie is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. She is excellent with her response time, she works very hard to do what’s best for her client and is honest and up front. Sallie helped me purchase my first home and was there for me again when I had to sell. I am so grateful to have had her on my side. I would recommend Sallie to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home.
Heather M. ~April 2021
When we were looking for a REALTOR to sell our lake lot in Chapin, our pastor suggested Sallie Chester. She is an expert of the Lake Murray area. Sallie was very knowledgeable and graciously led us through the process. She met our every need and answered all of our questions. Sallie is truly an asset to her profession.
Charles and Libby G. ~March 2021
Sallie helped my husband and I purchase our dream home on Lake Murray. We first met Sallie a couple of years ago when we visited Chapin to start our lake home search. We live 12 hours away from the area so Sallie was always willing to preview homes for us and FaceTime us while she walked through a home that we were interested in. Her feedback on the homes was very honest and thorough. Well the perfect home came on the market and Sallie immediately previewed the home. We made an offer strictly based on Sallie's preview and opinion of the home. This is not something we thought we would ever do. Sallie set up the inspectors, introduced us to a local attorney, and generally was extremely helpful to us as remote buyers. She is also a genuinely lovely person and we enjoyed our time with her. Thank you Sallie ! You helped make this possible for us !
John R. and Vini M. ~ March, 2021
By far the best in the business. We were so blessed to have Sallie on our side when looking for our home. From beginning to end Sallie exceeded all expectations. We would strongly recommend her and her team for any realtor needs. Thanks Sallie
Court V ~ Feb 2021
When we were looking to buy a building lot in the Chapin area my son suggested we reach out to Sallie Chester. It was an excellent suggestion as Sallie stayed with us and helped us to eventually obtain a lot. She always answered emails or texts promptly and was very helpful in sharing with us information and suggestions that helped greatly in our getting the right lot for our needs at the best price. We highly recommend Sallie to anyone in helping them with their real estate needs.
Heidi & Larry W ~ Sept 2020
We highly recommend Sallie Chester for your real estate needs! She is knowledgeable and highly attentive to your needs. If you want a real estate agent to represent you, and put your needs first, she’s your choice!
Frank & Beth M ~ Sept 2020
Sallie is a great REALTOR who knows the Lake Murray and Lexington areas very well.
Nick B ~ Sept 2020
Sallie is a knowledgeable and professional real estate agent. She was great to work with.
Phillip H ~ Sept 2020
Sallie was a huge help to me and my family during this pandemic when I could not travel to SC. She came highly recommended by a neighbor who also had a great experience with Sallie. As a first time home seller, she was patient and kind and explained every step. Sallie even went out of her way to help get the house cleaned out in time for the new owners. 5-stars all the way!
Jill S ~ Aug 2020
Sallie has helped us with 4 transactions and has always done an amazing job. She is professional and friendly and firm when needs to be. Sallie even got us multiple offers on both our last two transactions! We appreciate her professionalism and always timely responses! Living in another state, Sallie assisted us with contractors when needed and was our eyes and ears many times! She always goes above and beyond and we couldn't be more happy or grateful! We highly recommend Sallie Chester.
Alane and Billy E. ~ July 2020
My work with Sallie Chester was during very difficult circumstances, in that the Covid-19 lockdown was in place. We were in different states and for me unsure of exactly the type of real estate I was looking for. In addition, I do not like doing business over a smartphone. Sallie handled the situation with patience and when I was finally physically in the area, she handled it with professionalism. As I sit writing this, we have a signed contract on property, where I eventually hope to build. Having worked with real estate agents for most of my life, I found Sallie's reference to be very accurate. She is knowledgeable, hard working and there if she can help. I am pleased with this relationship.
Jules "Skip" H. -July 2020
Sallie went above and beyond with our house sale in Harbour Watch. She was great to work with and very responsive! Thanks Sallie for everything!
Lindsay P ~ June 2020
Sallie is the greatest. She went above and beyond in helping us secure our new home. She took care of everything and made it so easy for us. I feel like we have a new friend. Thanks Sallie for all your hard work.
George & Benita ~ April 2020
Sallie Chester is a top-notch professional in every way. She returns calls and texts, and if she doesn't have an answer at her fingertips (which is rare) she calls back with the right info quickly. From market analysis to listing information to being “brutally honest” about how to best present a home for sale, Sallie was attentive, thorough and knowledgeable. She knows the local market, especially lake properties, and most importantly, she gets results.
Lenny J ~ April 2020
Lenny J ~ April 2020
It was such a pleasure to work with Sallie at EXIT Real Estate Consultants. She made the process of selling our home and building a new home so enjoyable. Sallie gave us great advice and got us a solid offer in just a few weeks. She was informative, had our best interest at heart, and made herself available for any questions we had. Sallie is professional, organized, has a pleasant personality, and goes above and beyond for her clients. I would recommend Sallie to anyone looking to buy or sell! Thank you for the outstanding service!
David & Christine H. ~ December 2019
David & Christine H. ~ December 2019
Sallie is not just great, she's phenomenal! From the very first conversation we had she has gone over and beyond making sure our needs were met. Sallie was willing to answer all of our questions and has represented us with professionalism each step of the way. Sallie's knowledge, skills, abilities and expertise surpass all expectations. Sallie cares about her clients and it shows. Not only did we find the best realtor but we truly feel that we have gained a family member. Thank you Sallie!
Courtney & Brittany V. ~ October 2019
We were fortunate to find Sallie several years ago when we were looking for our Lake Murray home, and after the wonderful experience we had with her through that buying process, and the fun we’ve had with her and her husband in the ensuing years, it was a total no-brainer that we would ask Sallie to help us sell the property when that time came. And, of course, we’re so happy we did! We could not have wished for a better outcome. Our only regret is that now we’ll be living further away.
Stephanie and Alan S. ~September 2019
Sallie did a great job. Her experience and knowledge really showed. She found the house we were looking for based on our criteria. She expertly advised us as we negotiated the purchase price, lined up inspections, prepared a punch list for repairs, coordinated with the lender and my attorney, and just made us comfortable and confident throughout the process. I could not be more pleased.
Michael C. - Sept 2019
Michael C. - Sept 2019
We, of course, are very happy and blessed to have had Sallie sell our home. Her team is wonderful also. We highly recommend Sallie Chester!
Melissa B. ~June 2019
Sallie and her team were very helpful and 100% on top of the entire selling process of our condo. From our original meeting, Sallie gave us great advice on selling quickly and for a fair price. She worked tirelessly to negotiate terms with the buyers' agent about the conditions of the transaction and kept us up-to-date with any changes that had come about. We used Sallie to both purchase and sell our condo and I would be happy to recommend her to anyone buying or selling property in the Columbia area. I truly appreciated her expertise and persistence in everything she did.
Joshua S. ~June 2019
Sallie was very professional and dependable in all of our dealings. We appreciated her counsel and experience, and would recommend her highly.
Karen and Eddie W. ~May 2019
We recently purchased a house in Harbour Watch, that we absolutely love, through Sallie Chester. Our relationship with Sallie began with a get to know each other phone call where trust was soon established. We then made the trip from Virginia to South Carolina to meet Sallie in person, and she showed us several lots and houses that weekend, one of which we ended up purchasing. The purchase took longer than anticipated because it was initially contingent on the sale of our house in VA. Sallie was extremely patient and responsive to all of our needs throughout the entire process. Sallie is honest, hardworking and provides excellent customer service. We highly recommend using her services.
Ann and Barry N. ~February 2019
Sallie Chester was everything we could have hoped for in the sale of our house; very knowledgeable with good advice and with such a friendly attitude. I would highly recommend Sallie to anyone who is seriously wanting to sell or buy property on Lake Murray.
Shirley and David S. ~February 2019
What a positive experience working with Sallie to sell our lake home! She was kind, hard working, kept us informed, a problem solver and great person. I would highly recommend her!!
L. Davis ~ Nov, 2018
We started looking around the Lake Murray area in October of 2017 with very little information about the area as far as neighborhoods went. We were referred by a friend to Sallie Chester after starting with another REALTOR. Sallie was very knowledgeable and knew the lake well. She was professional and absolutely one of the nicest people we’ve been around. After one year of looking, we found the perfect home for us; it was exactly what we wanted. Sallie was never pushy or impatient; she was willing to meet us anytime we needed, usually on a quick notice. What a blessing it was to find her! Thank you Sallie.
Keith and Dawn B ~ Nov, 2018
“We enjoyed working with Sallie! She was fair and honest with us and really knows the area. She has a nice and professional attitude which made the process easy!”
Dave and Tamara M ~ Nov, 2018
Sallie Chester helped us look for our perfect lake home on and off for four years. She would point out issues with homes that sometimes we did not notice. We never felt pressured by her to buy a home. When we finally found the home we wanted and issues arose, Sallie worked diligently to help resolve them. Whenever we had questions, Sallie was always available to answer them. If anyone asks for a reputable REALTOR, I would urge them to use Sallie Chester.
Tricia and Tim G. ~August 2018
Sallie Chester was referred to us, by Carolina One Realty. She is a personable, hardworking REALTOR that shares her faith. Sallie is quite a negotiator with her clients needs in her heart.
Burnette and Ken W. ~August 2018
I can truly say Sallie Chester was of great help to us. From the moment we first met Sallie, she was very professional and courteous. She could not have done more to assist us with all our needs. I personally can't thank her enough for all her help.
Sandy and Jay J. ~August 2018
Sallie was a great asset while selling our home. She communicated often and provided needed information. Her assistance alleviated much of the stress associated with selling our home of 25 years.
Lisa and Mel M. ~July 2018
Moving from out of state can be stressful! Barbara LeRoux did everything she could to make our experience as stress free as possible from beginning to end. She was great about helping with anything we needed prior to our move that we couldn't do ourselves because of our location. We would highly recommend Barb to anyone who wants the best possible real estate experience!
Melanie and Bill P. ~May 2018
Barbara LeRoux and Sallie Chester were absolutely the best to work with. We really could not have asked for better customer service. They were honest and really helped with our questions and never left us without an answer. Our expectations were exceeded!
Lisa and Ryan M. ~May 2018
We had been looking for a house for a while when we ran across Brandon Diff ee. He was hosting an open house in Gilbert, SC and we are so grateful that we met him that day. When Brandon says he wants to help people, he truly means it. We also worked with Sallie Chester. Both Sallie and Brandon were top notch! When we’re ready to buy or sell again, we will be calling The Sallie Chester Team!
Jennifer and Johnny L., Reta T. ~May 2018
Brandon Diffee was very attentive and easy to reach when I had questions. He made a very stressful process seem like a piece of cake. I'd recommend anyone in the Lexington area to use Brandon to buy or sell their home.
Mandy H. ~April 2018
As a first time home buyer not from this area, I needed a real estate agent that I could trust and rely on. Thankfully I was referred to Barbara LeRoux at EXIT Real Estate Consultants. Barbara, Sallie Chester and their team provided phenomenal service representing me throughout the process. They are very knowledgeable about the local real estate market and very professional. Barbara truly listened to what I wanted and was looking for, then went to work to match me with the perfect home. I was not just another customer but treated like family. I would recommend Barbara and Sallie to anyone because they are exceptional REALTORS, whose main focus is serving their clients. When the time comes, I plan to use the Sallie Chester Team to both sell my current home and find my next one. Thank you for a job very well done!
Chris D. ~April 2018
We became clients of Sallie Chester in 2010. She helped us find our first home in Lexington. Even though the home was brand new, Sallie made sure that everything was perfect. She was ready to negotiate on our behalf but they agreed to everything we wanted. Many people we talked to couldn't believe the deal we received. She also sold the house we were living in, after just 6 weeks on the market!
Now we are ready to build our dream home and Sallie helped us negotiate a phenomenal price on 20 acres of land in Lexington. We have recommended Sallie and her team to numerous family members. She helped our daughter and her husband buy their first home and they also got a great deal. As well, she helped my in-laws buy their home after moving back to the Midlands from the Upstate.
Sallie and her team have handled six properties for us and our family in the last eight years. We have all been very pleased. Sallie has always made us feel valued and has worked very hard for us. As soon as our home is built, we will be ready to work with Sallie Chester again to sell our current home. We can't imagine working with anyone else!
Lynette and Tom S. ~March 2018
We can't say enough good things about Sallie Chester and Brandon Diffee. We weren't sure if the Carolinas were going to be a good fit for us, so we starting looking into resources and that's how we came to connect with Sallie. When we reached out to her, we'd already done about 8 months of research on areas we were interested in. We planned a short visit from Maryland for just a couple of days to see homes we were interested in. Sallie assigned Brandon to us and he planned our first day to see all 7 of the houses we wanted to see. We ended up finding one that we liked. Brandon had gotten word that this particular house just received 2 offers and the sellers were planning to make their decision by 7:30 that evening. So, we asked to go back to the office and write a contract. The sellers took our offer, and we were all set to close in 2 weeks. Brandon and Sallie made this process so easy for us. From start to finish they were by our side every step of the way. I couldn't have been blessed with a better real estate team. And since we have numerous friends looking to relocate to SC over the next several years, we'll be referring them to Sallie and Brandon as well. Thank you both so much, for everything!
Pam and Tim M. ~March 2018
We have worked with Sallie Chester several times in the past and she has always been hardworking and made sure our every need was met. She has held our hands through each sell and purchase we have made with her. We would highly recommend Sallie to anyone looking for a REALTOR who is trustworthy and willing to work tirelessly to meet your needs.
Rachel and Will W. ~March 2018
We had great service from two REALTORS. Sallie realized, after working with us through several visits, that our needs would best be met working with Barbara LeRoux. Sallie graciously turned us over to Barb. We had several weeks working with Barb, until she found the perfect house for us. Her patience and understanding of our needs and desires is so appreciated. Barb truly cared and we were taken care of professionally and thoroughly during the entire process.🤗 We are so looking forward to our relocation to South Carolina.
Cathy and Walt G. ~March 2018
We thank Sallie so much for helping us find a place on Lake Murray!
Debbie and Bob L. ~March 2018
Sallie is a wonderful person all around. She is professional and personally cares about her job. Sallie works tirelessly for her clients and I am privileged to have her as my friend.
Ursula and Tom L. ~February 2018
Sallie was so helpful in the process of selling my house. She was professional and available to answer my questions at any time. She truly cares about her clients!! Sallie worked tirelessly to make sure everything was done and done right. I am so appreciative of her diligence and knowledge. I will highly recommend her to anyone I know who needs to sell or buy a house!!
Louise C. ~February 2018
We met Sallie because we were riding around one Sunday afternoon looking at homes for sale and found one of her listings. When we called, she just happened to be right down the street so she came and showed us the house. From the moment we met Sallie, she was the most honest real estate agent we had ever dealt with. She was very patient with us in our home search. She knew we were looking for something very specific and showed us a good many homes before we were able to find the right one.. Sallie is very knowledgeable and was able to point out stuff, whether good or bad, to help us in our decision making. Sallie isn’t just our realtor, we consider her our friend. I would recommend Sallie to everyone!
Darla and Rodney C. ~Feb. 2018
Barb LeRoux with the Sallie Chester Team was exceptional and I feel very blessed to have been matched up with her. She was very attentive and prompt. She became more than a realtor to me. Barb became a friend that I could rely on and I knew she wouldn’t steer me wrong. She is most definitely an asset to the Exit team and I loved working with her!! I would gladly refer anyone I know to either Sallie or Barb with Exit Real Estate Consultants. Sallie started me on my journey and Barb finished that journey and helped me to purchase my first home!! Thank you for all the help!
Heather M. ~January 2018
We were very happy with Brandon Diffee. He is very pleasant and knowledgeable. His pictures of the property, for marketing purposes, were awesome. He kept us informed throughout the process. Overall our experience with Brandon was great and will recommend him to anyone looking for a REALTOR.
Nancy S. ~Dec. 2017
Sallie was amazing. She had my best interest in mind at all times. She knew exactly what I was looking for and helped me find it. Not being from the area, her knowledge made me feel safe and I never worried. I recommend Sallie as a great real estate agent.
Melinda L. ~December 2017
In the beginning we were considering not using a REALTOR but now we are so thankful that we chose to work with Sallie! She is 100% about doing what is best for her client and making sure they are taken care of. I can't imagine where we would be in our home buying process without her. In any of our future home buying endeavors, we will most certainly be using Sallie Chester.
Dixie and Charlie C. ~November 2017
Barbara LeRoux helped me purchase my home and she also helped me sell it. Barbara had initially contacted me from their website. I was very impressed with her prompt reply. Not only was she quick to respond but we went looking at houses within the next two days.
I needed to find a place fast and she met me after work at whatever time I had available. Barbara did an awesome job of helping find what I wanted and didn’t waste my time showing me houses I didn’t like. I was a first time homeowner, and she took time to thoroughly explain the process to me. Barbara made this process easy, exciting and stress free. I am so thankful and I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling their home. Barbara is an amazing Realtor and I have told all my friends and family about her. She really knocked it out of the ballpark and if I had to do it all over again, wouldn’t change a thing.
Emily M. ~November 2017
It was a long process but Barbara was very patient and was willing to help from start to finish. She didn't hesitate to show me homes that met my needs and were in the area where I wanted to live. Also, she was always ready to assist me with any paperwork during the process. Thank you, Barbara, for all the help.
Manuel B. ~October 2017
Brandon Diffee made my home buying experience so much less stressful than it could have been. Brandon worked tirelessly, often at night and on the weekends, to search for the 'right' house for me and my daughter. I am very happy at my new home and will recommend Brandon and The Sallie Chester Team to anyone looking to purchase a home.
Amie B. ~October 2017
Sallie and Jennifer,
Thank you so much for taking time Friday to shepherd us around Harbour Watch, showing us homes of interest and most importantly sharing your insights on the current housing situation. WE appreciate your professionalism and depth of knowledge! We made progress in finding a home designer to put our vision to paper. The weekend overall was productive and fun. Thanks again for your time and efforts on our behalf.
Becky and Jeff F. ~October 2017
We are so very thankful to our Lord and to Sallie for making the purchase of our home a reality. We really appreciated her diligence and fortitude at the closing! Since we were first time new home buyers, we were not prepared for the hassle that would ensue as we moved toward the closing. Problems with workmanship and conflicts with the builder caused us to reconsider whether we should proceed with the purchase. Sallie was always available for consulting and continued to reassure us that she would be with us every step of the way. At the first walk-through she was very insistent that the builder rectify several obvious issues. Then we realized that there were discrepancies in the final amount we would have to pay. Sallie stood up to the builder and basically demanded all that they had promised to cover. We would highly recommended Sallie should the opportunity present itself.
Dee and Jim G. ~July 2017
Sallie really knows real estate. She was with us through listing our house to closing and during all the bumps in the road. She really cares for her clients and goes the extra mile for them.Â
Renee and Ray T. ~July 2017
Sallie Chester and her team are the ultimate professionals! Everything - from the advice she gave us before we listed our lake condo - to the quality photos she had taken - to the flyers created for prospective buyers - were all top quality! Sallie understood what we wanted and worked hard to get us the best price in a reasonable amount of time. Her knowledge and expertise helped us throughout the process. We highly recommend Sallie Chester and her team !
Colette and Jim F. ~July 2017
Sallie Chester was an exceptional REALTOR. With her assistance and knowledge of the area, I was able to find my dream home here in Lexington.
Jeff G. ~May 2017
Sallie Chester has been a friend of our family for some time, taking care of our sales and purchases after the death of my father in law in 2012. So when it came time to sell my daughters' house when my she got married, Sallie was the only person we considered as our agent. She walked us through the process of staging the house and putting it on the market. We had multiple offers the first day, driving the price up, and we accepted a bid of $8000 over list price. Sallie also negotiated a fantastic deal on the purchase of their next home. We could not be more pleased!
Tillman (Bud) C. ~May 2017
Sallie was wonderful to work with. She was very detailed and gave great advice of what I could do to help sell my property. Sallie was very prompt in answering any questions with regard to the selling process. Actually, my wife has already referred one of her friends to Sallie. In the future, I would certainly work with Sallie again and refer anyone I know needing real estate services.
Turner F. ~May 2017
We purchased our Lake Murray home on May 11, 2017 and had the pleasure of working with Sallie. She is a true professional, very knowledgeable and great to work with. She made us feel comfortable from the first day and was there every step of the way. She went above and beyond for us and kept us updated on everything. We like to think somewhere along this ride we became friends! All we can say is that if you are looking for your dream home, you can't go wrong with Sallie on your side!
Angie and Scott W. ~May 2017
Sallie was wonderful to work with and always made sure we were satisfied. She sold our old house in two days and was very patient with us as we searched for a new home. We couldn't find anything that we loved, so we decided to build instead and Sallie helped us negotiate a great deal with the builder. Sallie was even great with our newborn holding her while we signed papers during our closing. Anyone looking for a REALTOR that goes above and beyond for her clients shouldn't look any further than Sallie!
Jennifer and Justin P. ~May 2017
Sallie was great during the whole process. With this being our first home purchase, I was really nervous about everything. She made life easy. We love the house and could've have picked a better one. Sallie Chester is an awesome REALTOR.
Hailey and Joshua C. ~April 2017
I thought Sallie was very professional, super friendly, and very informative. I am very glad that we had Sallie as our realtor to purchase our property.
Shane M. ~April 2017
Sallie was extremely professional and easy to work with during our land purchasing process. She proved to be a great communicator, which put us at ease and reduced our stress level. In our experience in buying/selling property, Sallie was among the best and we would definitely use her again in the future.
Carrie M. ~April 2017
Thank you for everything you did for us and your unwavering professionalism. God bless.
Lisa and John B. ~March 2017
Sallie does a great job of taking care of her clients through the entire real estate process. She's very detail oriented and makes sure everything is taken care of, just right. I couldn't have asked for anything better as she did a fabulous job and made the buying process as easy as possible. If you are looking for a REALTOR, Sallie Chester is definitely the smart choice. Sallie was recommended to me and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for real estate on Lake Murray or in the Midlands.
Eric W. ~March 2017
Sallie did a great job of listening to our needs and took the time to answer all of our questions. She put us first when we looked at homes. Once we found the right house, she helped us get the best deal and made sure any issues that came up during the inspection process were resolved prior to closing. She treated us like family the entire time, which made us feel very comfortable during the house hunting process.
Andrea and Brian C. ~March 2017
Thank you, Sallie, for working with me on the sale of my Mother's house. It is always a pleasure to work with someone who is knowledgeable, professional and efficient. If I may steal the words of a song "nobody does it better than you" and best of all in a lovely manner. Many thanks again.
Renee S. ~February 2017
Thank you so much Sallie for all you did to help us find the perfect house. For over a year, we know very well that you put up with a lot as you traveled down the road with us to find the exact house that would make us happy and in the neighborhood where we wanted to live. Thank you for making sure all the i’s were dotted and t’s were crossed in every single document and leading us down the path to a fast and clean closing. Your trust, faith, and honesty are awesome. Your love for God and people make you a blessing to work with. We will always recommend you to our friends.
Beth and Jerry M. ~January 2017
As soon as we met Sallie we knew she would sell our home. Her knowledge of the market, particularly lake property was what attracted us to her. We were impressed with her availability and quick response to our needs. We would highly recommend Sallie to anyone in need of a realtor.
Angie and Greg G. ~December 2016
Sallie was a great REALTOR. She went the extra mile and made everything go smoothly for me. I will gladly tell my friends to call her when they are ready to make a move.
Carolyn R. ~August 2016
Thank you Sallie for helping us sell a home on Lake Murray. She was always calm and professional when things were hectic. She went over and above in helping us recover from a major water leak issue. I highly recommend Sallie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Ken W. ~August 2016
Sallie is the absolute best! We have sold and bought two homes with her and every time we were impressed and very pleased with all the hard work she put in. She even took the time to interact with our little ones and hold the baby. We recommend Sallie to everyone!
Kaite and Jonathan L. ~August 2016
Sallie Chester was a true professional in marketing and selling our home. All the attention to detail in the listing showed our property in a very positive light. We had contacted another realtor and decided to go with Sallie because she had a better vision of pricing, which was considerably higher and she delivered. Sallie also was great at setting up showing appointments for potential buyers. When there was a problem with the buyers financing, she was there to help straighten it out and all the time kept us updated. We never felt like we did not know what was happening. We are very pleased and would highly recommend her to anyone trying to sell real-estate because Sallie Chester knows her job and is one of the best in the business.
Jackie and Jim W. ~July 2016
My husband and I cannot say enough about Sallie Chester. We came to Columbia from Cincinnati, OH not knowing much about the area. All we knew was that Lake Murray is a fabulous lake, only two hours from the beach, and we wanted to live here. We worked with other REALTORS but due to their lack of experience and poor customer service, we began working exclusively with Sallie. (There is truly no need for any other REALTOR!). We told Sallie we wanted a house on Lake Murray, 3+ bedrooms, and a great deal. That's really all we gave her to go on. I have to admit, I was skeptical that Sallie would be able to find us the "great deal" my husband was after - he is definitely always wanting the deal of a lifetime and he is very difficult to sway. Poor Sallie made about a half dozen trips around Lake Murray (ALL the way around the lake) showing us all she could. She spent many Saturdays and even Memorial Day with us, sharing her unbeatable knowledge of the Lake Murray area. She put all her REALTOR skills to work- and she has ALL the REALTOR skills you will EVER need. We had many questions. (Things are different here than they are in Ohio!). Sallie had ALL the answers. A flood in the basement two days before close put our deal in jeopardy. Not for Sallie! She worked tirelessly late into the night before closing. She awakened early, talking with the selling agent and the attorney's office to ensure that our deal would go through THAT day. At 9:45am we came to a settlement, and at 10:30am we closed on our dream home!! And yes, it's ON Lake Murray, has 3+ bedrooms and she found our GREAT deal!! Many, many thanks to Sallie. Her knowledge and her attitude is unbeatable! Again, we cannot say enough about Sallie Chester.
Carla and Bill W. -July 2016
Sallie Chester was exceptional! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication!
Tiffany B. -July 2016
Sallie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond working diligently to get any questions or concerns answered and dealt with in a timely manner. Day or night, weekday or weekend, she was quick to answer emails and text messages. We felt we had the perfect advocate representing us during the entire home purchase process. Thanks again for all of your help!
Nina and Eric W. ~June 2016
Sallie was personable, professional and hard working throughout the process
of finding our new Lake Murray home. She thoroughly knows the market, the
area and helped tremendously during the closing process. I cannot recommend
Sallie Chester highly enough
Paul B. ~May 2016
Sallie Chester was phenomenal. I used all of her resources to purchase my house quickly. It was the easiest transaction I've ever done. Thanks very much. I can't wait to work with Sallie on the next deal.
David L. -April 2016
Sallie Chester did an outstanding job of keeping me sane during the process of selling AND buying a home which was both stressful and overwhelming! Her knowledge and experience was invaluable. She gave me insightful advice including pricing, staging and feedback from potential buyers. She then put me in the hands of an incredible lender and provided information on the best builders in the locations where I was hoping to buy. I’m in a beautiful new home and know I couldn’t have done it without Sallie and her team at Exit Real Estate Consultants.
Melissa J. -March 2016
Sallie was amazing. She was very patient in both showing properties to us and answering a multitude of questions. She was professional yet friendly and seemed to really care about us as people and customers.
I have known Sallie since childhood and when I heard that she was a REALTOR, I knew she was who we needed to help us. Thank you so much.
Deirdra and Eddie N. ~March 2016
Sallie did a great job for us. We really didn't think our house would sell since we were committed to getting the price we wanted. Also we didn't have to sell the house so we were not motivated sellers. Sallie brought us a deal we couldn't turn down. We got everything we wanted! She understands lake property and how to market it. We would definitely recommend Sallie as the best agent you could find.
Sharon & Rick M. ~March 2016
It’s challenging to buy property when you live in a different state from where you are looking, but Sallie was very patient with us and our home search. She was willing to inquire about properties no longer on the market and made a deal happen for us. Sallie also helped us find contractors and obtain necessary permits. We appreciate all of her assistance.
Alane & Billy E. ~February 2016
We are delighted to have the chance to tell everyone how great you all are at Exit Real Estate Consultants. We listed our property with Sallie Chester and she was quick to get a contract for us. Sallie assured us that she would take care of everything and would just let us know when to show up for the closing. Everything went like clock work, and we are so happy.
Thanks so much!
Salley & Calvin P. -January 2016
The search for just the right house was long but Sallie made it so much fun. She knew what we were looking for and didn't give up until we found it. Sallie Chester is a true professional whom we are truly happy to recommend to anyone. Sallie is great!
Darlene & Charlie H. ~January 2016
Sallie was a true professional from our first phone call through closing. She was extremely accommodating with her time during our visit from Ohio. She went above and beyond to get the builder we were interested in to meet us and look at lots and some of the houses he currently had under construction. We would very highly recommend her !!!
Barb & Kevin A. December 2015
Anne and I had a great experience with Sallie. She was very helpful in all aspects of our purchase and really helped us secure the property when multiple offers were involved. We are definitely planning to use Sallie to list another home in the short term future.
Lee T. -September 2015
My husband and I are Realtors in Georgia and we hired Sallie Chester to help us sell a rental condo in SC. Sallie is definitely an outstanding agent. She went beyond the call of duty and took care of every detail for us to have a smooth and successful closing. Sallie coordinated the move-out with our tenant and made sure the condo was clean and ready for the new owner. She got us quotes for our repair list and made sure every item was completed on time. Sallie returns calls and emails promptly, her marketing is outstanding and she is very professional and personable. We are very grateful for all her hard work and cannot thank her enough for making it so easy to sell our condo quickly.
Andrea and Bill G. -August 2015
Sallie is super sharp and easy to do business with. She's very professional, yet personable -- We feel like we've made a new friend!
Susan & Mickey F. - June 2015
This is our third real estate transaction with Sallie Chester. She is such a warm yet outgoing person who knows our neighborhood almost better than we do. She is professional, dedicated and knowledgeable and works hard to make the deal happen. We highly recommend Sallie Chester and her assistant, Jennifer for your real estate needs.
Linda and Barry R. -June 2015
Working with Sallie Chester was phenomenal! My wife and I were searching for property in a specific area, but we were not having any luck. All it took was one phone call to Sallie and she came to our rescue! I would highly recommend Sallie Chester to anyone looking for a new home or property. She is very courteous, knowledgeable, and easy to work with!
Steve D. -June 2015
"We have an offer!" Those were surprising words to hear just two weeks after listing my mother's home. Sallie and her team did a fantastic job advertising and promoting the property. Sallie was very honest and professional and we truly appreciate the way things were handled. I would definitely recommend Sallie Chester with Exit Real Estate Consultants.
Karen W. -May 2015
I highly recommend Sallie to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. She is professional, knowledgeable, hard-working and pleasant at all times. Sallie used her resources and innovative thinking to get our house sold. We are extremely satisfied and look forward to Sallie helping us in the future with all of our real estate needs.
Suzanne P. -April 2015
Sallie saw my vision without much direction. I was fresh out of a nightmare home buying experience, skeptical, frustrated and exhausted with the entire process, both physically and emotionally. She made it bearable and even fun. With her patience and guidance, we got through it with no bumps. I consider her my life long realtor and friend. Thank you times a million for being so awesome!
Hannah O. -April 2015
Sallie Chester was so great when I purchased an investment property a few years ago that I naturally chose her to help me relocate from Tennessee to South Carolina. Once again, Sallie proved to be a treasure, scheduling a marathon of showings during my short time in SC. Once I made an offer on the perfect home for me, she continued to deliver exemplary service, while skillfully negotiating some very tricky issues. Sallie was also fantastic in providing referrals for numerous professionals to assist me with modifications. All this she delivers with a constant smile and Southern charm!
Sonda L. -March 2015
After years of searching for a weekender at the lake, we finally found the perfect place, thanks to Sallie Chester. Sallie is very professional, knowledgeable and accessible. She has vast knowledge of Lake Murray and was able to give us advice and answer all of our questions. We would recommend her to anyone who is searching for their dream home.
Stan and Lisa D. -February 2015
Sallie was a breath of fresh air when we decided to change to her as our listing agent. Her listing was wonderfully written and very nicely presented. She worked very hard with us to stage the house and professionally presented it to multiple potential buyers. Sallie kept us informed of the activity on the house regularly, including feedback from visitors. We were very happy with her work through the whole process; all the way to the closing. Thanks, Sallie!
Rae and Todd D. -February 2015
Sallie Chester is an awesome REALTOR. She's very knowledgeable, professional and helpful. She stayed in touch with us, always returning calls and texts. Sallie is also very personable and caring. We shared a lot of laughs as we looked for and found our "ideal vacation home."
Linda and Charles T. -January 2015
My wife and I want to thank Sallie for her dedication and efforts to help us sell our home. We knew from first meeting Sallie that we were in good hands. Being in a niche market, Sallie was present at showing appointments to fully inform potential buyers and their agents which gave us confidence in the selling process. We would highly recommend Sallie to anyone.
Sarah and Conrad C. -December 2014
We contacted Sallie after seeing her sign on a property that interested us. While that house was not for us, we immediately knew that Sallie was the REALTOR for us. We knew exactly what we wanted; it was just a matter of finding it in a location and a price point that suited our needs. Sallie showed us several contenders. While it took three offers and six months (no fault of Sallie’s) before we finally closed, we were extremely pleased with Sallie's constant hard work,communication and work ethic. Our journey to find our dream home was not simple nor stress-free. There were issues with every property, but Sallie was forthcoming and tackled any problem that surfaced with extreme professionalism and knowledge. We recommend Sallie Chester for her expertise, experience and integrity.
Melody & Brandon M. -December 2014
As first time home buyers, we did not know what to expect when searching for our future home. Sallie quickly saw our vision and led us to our dream home, all the while making the process easy and enjoyable! We'd recommend her to any buyer without hesitation just as she came highly recommended to us!
Jamie and Todd B. -December 2014
Sallie was very professional in all of our dealings. She priced my home perfectly and, not only did I have a contract within three days, it closed at almost full price! Sallie was always available whenever I called and she took care of any issues. She is prompt and very knowledgeable. I would recommend Sallie to anyone who wants a true professional to represent them in selling their home.
Nancy S. -December 2014
I just want to say how much Sallie Chester helped my husband and me with purchasing our new home. She was with us from the beginning until the very end of the transaction. For this to happen, I truly believe that Sallie made roads where there were none. She answered all our questions and took care of a lot of business that my husband and I didn't have to worry about. If you want to buy or sell a home, Sallie makes it happen. We HIGHLY recommend her.
Kandy and Tim T. -October 2014
Sallie is the greatest! She sold my house and got me into the home of my dreams. Sallie is very knowledgeable with a pleasant disposition. She was patient through all my questions and concerns and was never more than a phone call away. I highly recommend this agent. She is the best and I would not work with anyone else in the future. If you need an agent, call Sallie Chester!
Yvonne H. -September 2014
Buying your first house while living in another state can be extremely stressful. But, our experience was so easy thanks to Sallie. We felt so comfortable and safe with her. She treated us like her own children buying their first home. She gave us honest opinions and was always just a phone call away when we needed her. We couldn't be happier with Sallie!
Jessica and Ryan S. -August 2014
I really enjoyed working with Sallie. She was extremely helpful in helping us determine what needed to be done to our home before we put in on the market and she was right. Sallie sold our house in under 30 days and we are forever grateful to her. But lets not forget her assistant, Jennifer. She was also very helpful to us, especially because we were already living out of the state. She met one of the contractors who was doing some work for us and stayed until they finished. I highly recommend Sallie and her team for any of your real estate needs.
Kathleen and Chris L. -August 2014
While living in Pennsylvania, I bought a house in SC and Sallie helped me every step of the way. She did all the major leg work for me without one complaint. Sallie made this process as least stressful as possible and I am forever grateful. Not only was Sallie my first friend in SC but she will be my realtor for life!
Judy R. -August 2014
I was very pleased with Sallie Chester! She was proactive in her marketing efforts on our property and always very responsive. I could not be more pleased with how smoothly everything went. I will gladly recommend Sallie to others and will work with her again if I buy or sell a property in the future.
Alicia & Steve C. -August 2014
Sallie has proven herself to be capable and efficient in all aspects of the selling process. Having an agent with great expertise and a positively rated success is important. Equally important is dedication and emotional quotient while navigating the process. I would recommend Sallie Chester to anyone in less than a heartbeat.
Sal D. -August 2014
We enjoyed working with Sallie very much and we have recommended her to two of our friends.
Libby and Al B. -July 2014
My late mother's house was in poor repair and lacked any curb appeal. Sallie's sales strategy worked! I'll be calling her again...soon!
Barry W. -July 2014
Sallie is the best agent I have ever worked with. She was willing to help in any way she could and was always looking out for what was best for me. She is very knowledgeable of the area and the real estate market. Sallie kept me up-to-date on the house showings and any offers that I received. I appreciated being kept in the loop on everything that was happening. I sold a house but, I gained a friend as well. I trusted Sallie to sell my home and she will be the first person I contact when looking for a home in the future.
Erin C. -June 2014
After using three other Realtors to try and sell my house, she is the only one who got it done! I highly recommend Sallie Chester.
Stewart Y. -June 2014
We were very pleased with Sallie’s professionalism,
attention to detail and real estate knowledge. She
went above and beyond with every aspect of our sale with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. Her drive to close the sale in a timely fashion should also be acknowledged. Sallie kept the line of communication going so we were always informed at every step.
She accepted each challenge with skilled tactfulness and creativity. We will recommend her highly to any future home buyers or sellers.
Denise R. & Richard S. -May 2014
Sallie's professionalism and knowledge of the local real estate market removed most of the stress for us during the process of selling our home. She was always there for us to answer our questions and give sound advice on all issues leading up to the closing.
Frankie and Bob A. -April 2014

Cheryl and Rick P. -September 2013
Sallie was a very detail oriented Realtor who saved us much time in our real estate search/purchase. We encountered an inspection snag that caused a closing delay and added work, but Sallie remained engaged with the sellers and their Realtor to make the sale happen.
Marietta and Mark M. -August 2013
Could not have asked for a better agent! You're the best.
Anne D. -August 2013
Very precise and organized. Always on time and customer oriented. Great experience.
Sarah Beth and Chris W. -August 2013
Sallie truly is a 5 Star agent. She was easy to work with and was always "working for us." We have continued to ask her questions about companies who could help us with small tasks and she is always responsive.
Donna and Clif W. -July 2013
Sallie is the best agent we've ever met. When we decided to look for a lake home, we knew we needed to find a very special sort of agent who would know the territory thoroughly and have the patience to stick with us as well as the initiative and the drive to keep searching and researching on our behalf. Sallie was all that and more. Her local knowledge and expertise were invaluable to us, and her unfailing enthusiasm and perseverance never flagged during the months and miles of looking at too many properties to remember. Then, when we did find the right one, she had all the tools at hand to get us smoothly through settlement. Since then, she stays in touch, thankfully alerting us to the lowering of the lake level before it became an issue for us and keeping us informed of happenings in the area. We think of Sallie as a trusted friend and certainly the only person we will consider turning to for any future real estate needs.
Stephanie and Alan S. -June 2013
Your read on the buyers was right on! Too many in your field do not read buyers that well.
John B. -May 2013
Sallie- We love our new home! It's perfect for us! We sincerely appreciate all of your time and effort. We could tell that you really cared about our happiness with our home, and you really took the time to get to know exactly what we were looking for. We will recommend you to everyone!
Michelle and Keith C. -April 2013
Dear Sallie- It was great to see your photo and recent recognition by the Central Carolina Realtors Association for your 2012 Residential Circle of Excellence. Congratulations on this latest achievement and for your consistent efforts to represent the real estate industry with the utmost in trustworthy and respected service to your clients and customers. Again, congratulations on a job well done.
Chip Huggins - SC House of Representatives
My husband and I view Sallie as a blessing to our home buying experience. During our home hunting journey, Sallie went above and beyond our expectations as an agent. She was always happy and positive when talking to us and never made us feel like we were wasting her time. Sallie is a great listener and showed us only the homes we requested. She was right by our side during every step leading us throughout all the proper channels of buying our home right up until we signed the final home ownership documents. We have only the highest praise for her work, her commitment, and her professional demeanor! We would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.
Tom and Libby H.
Thank you so much for handling our real estate transaction so professionally. Your concern for our needs and questions was always genuine, and everything that transpired was done in a timely manner. You will be highly referred by us.
Diana and Gary D.
Sallie, I'm appreciative of you and impressed with your attention to detail. I can tell you love what you do and act with professionalism and genuine concern for your clients.
S. Myers
Sallie made buying our house such a joy! She put us in touch with an outstanding mortgage agent to get the financing in order. She showed us several homes until we found the one we loved. She advised us on contact points and as a result, we got a GREAT deal on our new construction. She assisted us on the walk-through and closing as well. From start to finish, she was ALWAYS available to speak to us. She knows her business and is very dedicated to her customers. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell.
Tom and Lynette S.
Thank you, Sallie, for showing us your Southern hospitality as you said you would. Thank you for your professional expertise, your knowledge of South Carolina, and for opening doors for us to learn all the important things we neeed to do to get settled in. For us, you're the best!
Evelyn and Tally
Sallie represented Exit Team very well--superior rating from me! She helped me buy and sell my home and I actually profited off the sale---$10,000! Thank you. God bless.
