    • I am writing this review on for The Wagley Group Real Estate. I used Joe Wagley to sell a home I had. I can honestly tell you that it was the right choice. Joe knows his stuff. My dad had used him to sell my grandmas house several years ago and told me go with Joe. I made the call and meet with Joe. He is personable and extremely knowledgeable in real estate and patient because i know at the beginning of this I wasn't the easiest person to get along with but Joe is a pro. He and his wife Becky worked hard for me and the house sold for a good price. I would like to extend my appreciation and thanks to Joe and his wife Becky, and would not hesitate to use them again. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

    • Joe is a man of faith, integrity and professionalism. Working with his organization is a great choice. Ben Searcy
    • The Wagley Group exceeded expectations in selling our two properties (old family home and rental property) in Adrian. I have known Joe for years (since high school) and I knew that he would do a great job for us, given his credibility, honesty, integrity and professionalism. We also found out during the listing and selling process how connected Joe is to other providers in Adrian that could help us. He made calls to an estate sales company to clear out the old family home, to a construction company that managed the necessary repairs and renovations in that property, and to a crew to remove debris and garbage from our rental property and to then clean it thoroughly. As soon as Joe called all of them, they followed up with us immediately and did great work. It was a tremendous help which expedited and simplified what would have been a very daunting process for us. This was a testimonial to how Joe is trusted and respected by many people and how The Wagley Group goes above and beyond to help its clients, while being a trusted advisor. I have bought and sold properties several times in several states over the past 40 years. Working with Joe and his team was by far my best real estate experience. A big thank you to Joe and The Wagley Group! Scott Scire
    • We have worked with several realtors and found most of them lying to us. A friend told us about Joe Wagley. Because of his truthfulness, and knowledge, we truly believe the vacant land we just closed on, would not have been possible. One neighbor of the property, believed they owned a large section. The sellers and the listing realtor, lived in another county, so Joe was a huge help with finding surveyors, attorneys and the title company. The fight lasted about 4 months. We are so truly grateful for Joe skills! Honey
    • Very helpful in a difficult situation with seller's neighbor regarding encroachment issues. Joe helped the selling realtor work though the issues. Without him things may not have worked out. It was good to have a knowledgeable and professional agent representing us. Ronald Carrier
