Richard Reid and his Direct Link Realty team are hands down he BEST real estate group with whom I have ever worked. When I moved to GA four years ago, I was relatively new to real estate investment. I flipped and sold two prior properties in another state, and wanted to continue doing so while in GA, but had to make sure I made the right investments and didn’t take on anything I could not handle (I have a full-time healthcare career, so all investment property work comes secondary to that). Richard took the time to get to know me and my real estate investment goals, and understand my limitations as a buyer and flipper. He educated me on Atlanta’s many sub-communities and outlying cities, and provided comprehensive support throughout each property search, contract negotiation and closing process. Richard remained of great utility after each home purchase, as well. He networks with top-notch contractors and service companies, which made outsourcing various renovation projects stress-free. I knew I could trust anyone he referred, which meant everything to me since these properties were investments for my future. I also relied on Richard’s advice when trying to determine whether to sell or rent a property based on market and economic projections. Despite recently returning to my home state, I continue to rely on Richard to help me find vacation rental investment properties in GA and FL. This man is a one stop shop! Overall, with Richard Reid’s support and guidance, I have maintained a diverse portfolio and profited very well on multiple flip and rental properties. I have sent multiple friends and colleague to him for home purchase and rental needs, as well. All have given me the same feedback regarding their experiences. I feel very fortunate to have found Richard and his top-notch Direct Link Realty team, and am confident anyone working with them will feel the same.

Richard helped us find our home in Morningside. As first time home buyers we had lots of questions & concerns, Richard went above and beyond to help us find the perfect house for us.

Richard simply is the best and most professional Realtor you will find in Atlanta. He has helped us close when we were buying and selling, buying a rental property, selling rental property, and helped me navigate the landlord process. He is quick to listen, but will also fight for you when needed. I wouldn't have anyone else list my property or help me find a new one. You will have total comfort with Richard during the entire process.

It took us seven trips from out of state to Decatur before we finally found a home that fit our family's needs. Richard was with us through the entire lengthy experience and knew better than we did what would work best for us. Richard is patient and he really listens to everyone's perspective. He has incredible knowledge about real estate, all the business surrounding purchase (or selling) a home, as well as how to live well and comfortably. Richard was transparent, honest, and incredibly supportive. I remember after having put in what must have been our third or fourth offer, only to find the home was sold a few hours before, I felt like we would never prevail. On a lark, we asked Richard to try to get us in to see a home that was not yet on the market. I don't know how he did it, but he did, and quickly. It turned out that it was the perfect place for us. We recommend Richard Reid's Direct Link Realty to anyone who is moving to the area. He knows the market well and is persistent in finding the home that YOU want within your budget. Plus, he has a great sense of humor and is a pleasure to be around, making the entire stressful business of house hunting a real treat.

Richard sold our house in Virginia Highlands and helped us find our home in Druid Hills. Richard went above and beyond for us, whether attending to details ahead of open houses, making recommendations for small tweaks to make our house attractive to prospective buyers, or making sure that the marketing photos were just right. On the buying side, he spent plenty of time with us and discerned what we needed before we realized it ourselves. Highly recommend!

In all our years of selling and buying homes Jennifer Reid was absolutely the best agent we have ever used. She was attentive to our needs and always available and willing to look at houses on any given day. We sold our current home within a week, having 3 offers for full asking price. She was the best advocate for us, a great negotiator and was with us every step of the way through and even after closing on the new home we purchased even after our closing date! Choose Direct Link Realty for all your home selling and purchasing!!

It was wonderful working with Jennifer. She is very knowledge about the area, which was extremely helpful to us as we familiarized ourselves with Atlanta. She was patient with us and helped us figure out exactly what we wanted in our first home. Jennifer was also great in teaching us about the home-buying process, and was completely transparent and responsive throughout the process. We are very happy with our new home and would highly recommend her.

I would DEFINITELY recommend Jen to be your in-town real estate agent. I'm a fairly independent person so when it came to looking for a house I was inclined to go at it alone but I would not have my home, literally. Zillow is great at proactively sending emails about new homes but she was able to see my home before Zillow and booked the first viewing appointment and that was all the difference. She has all the patience in the world, answered all my questions, accommodated all of my search preferences, steered my where I needed steering and listened when I just needed to talk. Jen and Direct Link Realty also has relationships with inspectors, contractors, other real estate agents, and more that helped glide the process along. Whenever we needed someone to help with the process it was nice to be able to lean on the level of trust that she has with these vendors. I'm 100% certain that I'll reach out to her for any future work that needs to be done with the house. I'm incredibly happy with the house Jen helped me buy and made the whole process as painless as it could possibly be. Thanks again Jen!

We worked with Richard while purchasing our home in the Morningside – Lenox area. Richard significantly exceeded our expectations at every point in the home buying process. Firstly, Richard is a great listener; he internalized our needs quickly and showed us very relevant options. Next, Richard is a consummate professional; he put our needs first, performed exhaustive pricing research and guided us through a very competitive multi-week negotiations process. With Richard’s guidance, we ended up coming within budget, that too in a buyer’s market! Finally, Richard has a strong sense of ownership; he was always able and willing to provide sound advice related to financing, home improvement projects and closing formalities. All in all, I have no doubt that Richard is at the very top of the Realty profession. Working with him, made the home buying process a non-stressful fun process. It was truly a pleasure working with an outstanding professional such as Richard; he will represent us in all realty transactions going forward.

I provide my very strongest recommendation possible for Richard and would use him again in a heartbeat if the need ever arose. He made the rather arduous process of buying and selling homes rather painless. On the buying side, Richard has extensive knowledge of neighborhoods in Decatur and surrounding metro Atlanta. He listens carefully to his clients' needs and does an remarkable job targeting properties that fulfill the required criteria. He also has great ideas on how to transform the exterior and interior of existing properties to maximize the buyer's enjoyment. He is diligent in checking e-mails and voicemails and returns queries in rapid fashion. On the selling side, Richard had great ideas on how to stage our property to maximize interest from potential buyers. He provided sage advice on handling and deciding among offers and was with us every step of the way through the convoluted closing process. He is truly fantastic. I can't recommend him enough.

Richard has assisted my wife and I with 3 real estate transactions over the past 3 years in the Atlanta-Midtown area. He is detail oriented, highly responsive and extremely knowledgable. Most importantly, he offers candid advice with negotiating price and will stay by your side throughout closing day.

Richard was just amazing. I was a bit apprehensive about putting my house on the market but Richard guided me every step of the way. We listed and sold the house at the price we wanted in just over a month. Simply Amazing, Jim

Richard Reid is the most effective real estate broker I've ever worked with over 30 years of various real estate transactions. He's available almost 24/7. He's negotiates fair and hard for whichever party he represents, in my case, the buyer. He saved me thousands on the purchase price and concessions from the seller. He gave sound advice in inspections, appraisals, and financing. And he understood what my both practical and emotional needs in a home were but took the time to show me areas beyond my focus just for the learning experience, and added to my ability to judge better the house that we acquired. I say "we" because it team work in its best form. And his follow up was well above average on details of utilities, etc. Highly recommend him for Atlanta home purchases, especially inside the perimeter.

Richard and his dream team helped me buy a single family in Decatur at the price point I was looking for. He walked me through every little detail about the home buying process and paperwork. He has access to the best team in the market - home inspection, mortgage specialists, appraiser, closing attorney et al. He even helped me find an architect to provide estimates on potential renovations. I highly recommend him and his team, especially for first time home buyer who are as clueless as I was 4 months ago.
