ClientTestimonials

From the start Clay was extremely helpful and enthusiastic. He communicated with us every step of the way and guided us nicely so we never felt panicked or rushed. There was a lot for us to declutter and his suggestions were spot on. We have bought and sold about 8 houses in our married life and I have never had a realestate agent be so helpful and kind. We sold our house for so much more than asking because of his attention to detail, helpful suggestions and his dynamic team he has! We are over the top happy!

Clay was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He communicated clearly and consistently and did an excellent job representing his clients throughout the transaction. I hope we have the opportunity to do another deal together soon.

Clay Black was the perfect person to sell my home. He created an environment in which all the details of the sell were handled. He treated my home with care, arranged for all the contractors and the most important to me was his responsiveness to my endless questions with patience.

Clay Black was a complete joy to work with. I live out of state and was selling my house in Powhatan and he was so helpful and his guidance through this process was very reassuring, especially since I had never sold a house before! I was a complete rookie and had a thousand questions but through it all Clay was calm and treated me and my home with the utmost care and respect. I had to come back to Oklahoma after a month of getting my house ready to sell but Clay handled all the details explaining the process along the way. He had everything running smoothly and my house sold within a week of it being on the market. Clay Black is your go to agent if you want things done right!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Clay! From the very beginning, I felt a genuine connection with him. He truly listened to me, understood what I was looking for, and never once made me feel pressured. He somehow knew exactly what I wanted, sometimes before I could even articulate it! Buying a home can be stressful, and I’ll be the first to admit I brought my fair share of anxiety to the process. He handled it like a champ—with patience, humor, reassurance, and professionalism. I never felt like just another client. I felt heard, supported, and genuinely cared about. What could have been an overwhelming experience turned into such a positive one, and I absolutely love my new home! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through this journey. I would recommend him a thousand times over!
