We couldn’t have been more happier with our new house or our selection of real estate agent Merrill Bryan. It’s been over 40 years since we purchased our last home and a lot has changed since then. We knew exactly what we were looking for, and after over a year of looking Merrill came through for us and not only found the perfect home but guided us through the complete process step by step of securing the house we are happy to call home. We would highly recommend her to anyone, she was easy to work with, never pushy, always patient and just a complete professional to us.

Merrill Bryan stepped into the role of realtor with my parents at a time when my Father was nearing the end of his life. Before my Father passed, Merrill secured a contract on my parents' house. As my Father was just placed in hospice, my Mother had to cancel the sale. Rather than apply pressure or react in anger, Merrill was gracious, supportive and understanding. Over the next month or so, my Mother asked Merrill to show her some houses. Those viewings never resulted in a sale. A year later, when my Mother decided it was time to relocate to be near me, Merrill agreed to list my Mother's home. Before the first showing, my Mother had two offers. Merrill responded quickly to our phone calls and texts and was a valuable resource for our many questions. When my Mom needed to hire a lawyer or someone to professionally clean her home, Merrill was ready with resources. Overall, Merrill not only professionally and competently helped my Mom to navigate the home-selling process, she did so with kindness, understanding and flexibility.

Merrill did a great job finding our new property. She was very responsive and provided good support. When we started, we didn't know the area and Merrill really helped us decide what location we wanted and found a property for us.

Merrill did an amazing job helping us find our forever home. She was patient with us and let us take our time and look to figure out what we wanted, without ever pushing us or rushing us into anything. She didn’t mind showing us multiple properties over the span of several months while we figured out the logistics of our move. We cannot say enough good things about her and how helpful she was during this process! She made this whole thing stress free for us and truly felt like a friend. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Thank you Merrill for helping us find our vacation home. You did all the leg work for us as we are out of town buyers. Doing video walk throughs and meeting us on a short notice when we could finally make it to Murrells Inlet. Staying on top of the newest listing and emailing the info to us was very beneficial. You helped make every thing smooth from start to finish. Even when our bank gave some glitches along the way. Your checklist on what we need to do after our offer was excepted also proved invaluable. We are looking forward to many trips to the beach.

I just used Merrill to locate a new home in Murrells Inlet SC while I still lived in VA. She has incredible knowledge of the area and found me my dream home very quickly.She was very helpful with every phase of the purchase. She spoke to the owners to get several tours of the house, she helped with the financing, she helped with the title search and the sales contract. She even attended the “closing “ of the sale, just in case I had any questions.Bottom line- - - She is awesome!!

Merrill is the best! We listed our condo for sale and the sale was completed within a couple of weeks at the price we wanted. This was our second attempt, the first try with another agent did not go well. Merrill provided the info we needed, answered all our questions, and made the whole process go smoothly.

The most stressless experience I've ever had in the purchase of a property
The most stressless experience I've ever had in the purchase of a property. Ms. Weston had all the bases covered before any problems surfaced. When an issue did surprise us, her knowledge of the process made it simple to resolve and negotiate truthfully with the sellers and all the services and legalities to continue forward to the finish line. Would recommend highly !!

Her expertise and attentiveness to detail made my transition from listing to closing
Ms. Weston turned my property from Probate to sold in one month! 25 showings, 2 offers, and a contract in less than a month. Listing to closing was a mere 60 days. Her expertise and attentiveness to detail made my transition from listing to closing, which included photography, marketing, price changes, inspections, and negotiations, as smooth as silk. One would be well-served to retain her services!

My wife and I are planning a move to Myrtle Beach and not knowing any real estate agents in that area, we came across Merrill's name while looking at some properties. Merrill answered our call in 2 rings. Quite impressive. After a brief but thorough conversation with my wife, Merrill had a pretty good idea where and what we were looking for. How could we tell? In a matter of 10 minutes, she had emailed us at least a dozen properties. That is impressive !! We met Merrill on our recent visit to Myrtle and she is as personable in person as she was on the phone. WE would recommend Merrill to anyone who needs to find a place in Myrtle. Thanks Merrill. We have just purchased our condo and Merrill was superb! She helped us every step of the way and we truly enjoyed our experience. Working from out of state never seemed to be a problem. We would recommend Merrill without any hesitation.

My journey with Merrill began way back at the end of March with my first house hunting trip to the GMy journey with Merrill began way back at the end of March with my first house hunting trip to the Grand Strand area. While she may have had doubts about whether a single guy would follow through on a purchase, she never let that show through, nor did she tire in her efforts to find me a suitable home. The second and final house hunting trip came during the second half of July and it wasn't until the last house on the last of two days of viewings that I found what was to become my new home. From there, Merrill took charge of the negotiations which were difficult for a variety of reasons beyond price. There was an issue of delayed settlement required by the seller and my contingency of being able to sell my former home. To say that the sellers were difficult is a major understatement and it is a testament to Merrill that she was able to navigate the troubled waters between buyer and seller and keep the contract viable. I could never have concluded the negotiations on my own. Once the contract was signed, a host of issues popped up regarding the sale of my former home and the sellers became anxious about the contract ever being fulfilled. An endless series of text messages, emails and phone calls was initiated among buyer, seller and their respective agents to keep the contract alive. In this endeavor, Merrill excelled with the patience of Job, working tirelessly to satisfy the respective parties. The attention to detail and tireless efforts did not end after closing(which came nearly four months after first offer). Merrill was diligent in her follow through, making sure all was in order with the new home and addressing any unforeseen problems. It was a pleasure working with Merrill and would highly recommend her to any one considering the purchase or sale of real estate.

Buying a house out of state was a challenge for me
Buying a house out of state was a challenge for me. It required a lot of advanced planning, but also an agent I could rely on. Merrill Weston is a consummate professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and most importantly fun to work with. She does everything you would expect from a realtor and then goes above and beyond to help. At least she did for me. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a good realtor who will treat them right. Ed Paulvir
