Andrea Devost - It's A Family Affair!

I highly recommend Scherrie and Gwen from the Freedom Realty GBS team. They are amazing realtors and true professionals.  Gwen and Scherrie went above and beyond to help sell my home.  I was always kept in the loop about what they were doing to market my home and Gwen was a great resource for me during the negotiations process which helped finalized the home sale. They made the process of selling my home fun.  If you're looking for a team that is knowledgeable. trust-worthy with charisma then Gwen and Scherrie are the realtors for you!

Jackie Hollister-Panton - Satisfied Seller
My husband and I were first time home buyers and we recently became parents.  We wanted a safe neighborhood to raise our son.  We wanted a home in which we could grow into and a big back yard for our son to play.  
 
We were excited to get started but we moved in faith during this process.  We prayed for an amazing team and we were immediately connected with Scherrie and Gwen.  We share with Scherrie and Gwen what we were looking for within a home and even the desired neighborhood we always wanted to live in.  Scherrie and Gwen started right away with sending us homes and helping during the entire process.
 
These ladies were amazing as they showed us every home, answered all of our questions, motivated us and even matched their faith with ours.
 
Both Scherrie and Gwen helped us find our home in the desired neighborhood that we wanted.  My husband and I became home owners in August of 2021!  
 
I highly recommend working with this amazing team!

My testimony is that I enjoyed working with these powerful women of God. They didn't stop working until my dream of owning a home came true. They never gave up and treated me like family. I encourage anyone in the name of the Ancestors to work with these ladies because they will do all that they can to make sure your blessings come true. Keep blessing all those who need this blessing and the experience that I had. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving. Ase'

Ashford Devost - New Homeowner 2021

To my GBS team s-heroes! The journey with the both of you has been nothing less than amazing! We began this mission just only a few short months ago and I am now a homeowner! The communication with the GBS team was awesome! You took the time and made sure we were knowledgeable about the process. Always quick to respond/answer anything we asked & always communicating with us to keep us informed about next steps. Since this was my first home purchase, I appreciate your patience, knowledge, sticking with us day in/out, and making us feel as if you were looking for your own home. The process moved along smoothly and we were able to purchase an awesome property. I also appreciate you putting me in contact with the rest of the team. You all worked together & were impeccable; a force to be reckoned with! I am so excited for this next chapter of our lives. My family and I were blessed to have been in such good hands! Thank you and we love you GBS team!! Keep being a blessing in the community!! 

Andrea De-Vost, #NewHomeOwner2022

Andrea De-Vost - Beautiful Journey!
While I already had a relationship with both ladies and had always heard they were great realtors, this was my opportunity to experience it first hand.  To me, it was a huge task I was trusting them with - sell my current home and help me find a new one quickly.  I had been thinking about putting my house on the market for the last 3 years.  Once I mentioned it to Scherrie, she provided the CMA, and the rest was history.  We discussed my asking price - we were aligned immediately.  A week later, their awesome photographer came out to take pics.  After staging it and seeing the pics, I wondered if I really wanted to sell it LOL.  Gwen created the listing and it went live Friday at 5pm.  Within a few hours, I had two showings for the next morning.  I left town and the Dynamic Duo handled the rest.  Surprisingly, I had an offer by Sunday morning, we discussed it and I accepted it.  Task 1 complete!  
 
While I was very excited, I quickly realized that I was essentially homeless.  Worried was an understatement but these ladies remained committed, positive and optimistic.  Scherrie reassured me that we were going to find exactly what I wanted and I was going to love it.  After our first weekend of multiple showings, I was not convinced.  I saw a few places I liked, but not anything I loved.  The second outing the following week was much better.  I saw one place that I liked enough and one last minute place that we literally stumbled upon.  Now this place I absolutely loved!  It was not a condo, was bigger than I desired and had stairs, stairs and more stairs!  But it was beautiful and had all of the other amenities that I wanted along with several nice to haves.  Figuring that it probably wouldn't be accepted, we submitted a bid anyway.  I would say it was a miracle, but actually it was Gwen.  While it wasn't the highest bid, Gwen worked that miracle and the house was mine!   
 
Long story short, I sold my house at the end of June and was closed and moved into my new house about three weeks later.  It was scary, stressful and exciting all at the same time.  The Dynamic Duo kept me informed, grounded and encouraged throughout every step of this journey.  I could not have asked for better or more capable realtors than this fantastic Mother Daughter Duo.  I am beyond satisfied and highly recommend this team! 
Leekeetria Williams - Faith over Fear!

My husband and I are so proud to have worked with Gwen Broughton & Scherrie Scott in the purchase of our home she was one of the most exciting energetic and positive brokers that we have come across in many years we just want to thank her for all the knowledge she gave us encouragement and professional service.  Trendelle and Fatima Vaughn

Trendelle and Fatima Vaughn - Repeat Clients

I was in the process of buying my first home.  I reached out to Gwen Broughton, Freedom Reality.  In speaking with Gwen.  Once we completed the introductory questions Gwen let me know that I would be working with Sheree Scott during my search.  Scherrie called to introduce herself to me and get an idea of what I was looking.  I must say that after just a few showings Scherriehad my style down pat and was able to tailor my search to fit my needs.  It was during Covid and the housing market was slim to none.  After about 6 months I gave up hope but Scherrie was always encouraging me to stick it out promising that it was going to get better and going the extra mile to set up showings, adapting to my availability and even treading through snow and on Sundays.  At the end I was able to purchase my new home!! The GBS Team was with me ALL The Way!!  Thank you Gwen & Scherrie

Darlene Johnson - Dedicated Client!

Working with The GBS Team has been life changing. Since the birth of my daughter, my dream was to provide a home for her. Not something temporary or something that we could say, well at least we have a roof over our heads but a place we could call home. The GBS team helped made that dream come true!

Scherrie is more than a Realtor to me; she is more like a sister/counselor. I can’t speak for everyone but, as you get closer to your dreams, you start to make excuses for why this dream is not obtainable. Scherrie was there every time to help me regain focus. Scherrie took the time to get to know me, understood what I was looking for in a home, and how much it meant to obtain my first home. Even after the closing of my home, Scherrie still reaches out to see how everything is going, provides resources/recommendations, and just there as another ear to spill my frustrations on the renovating process.
