Jarran was recommended to me last year when I needed to sell my home. The first time I met them I was very impressed with their preparation, organization, and enthusiasm. They were extremely personable throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Lexington area looking to buy or sell a home!

Kristy is a very knowledgeable realtor. She is very professional at all times and very quick to action. We were buyers from out of state. Looking for a home during a hot market and living away presented challenges for us but Kristy helped overcome those challenges, was more than willing to meet with us and tour various homes while visiting the the area plus doing a zoom tours if needed. She also provided recommendations for contractors and services. At all time she was very quick to respond to our questions. We could have not had a better agent. We do not hesitate in giving Kristy the highest recommendation!

We recently put my mothers home on the market and were referred to Sandy by our estate lawyer and she was quite professional and experienced and put in a lot of time to get the house ready and helped me with all the details I would not have thought of. I would absolutely recommend Sandy and will use her again as the need arises.

Sandy was GREAT to work with from day one through closing! Her knowledge of the market in Lexington was exceptional and her recommendations throughout the entire sale process were always right on target. Sandy went the extra mile at every turn which helped so much since I was out of state. Sandy took care of so many minor issues and details, and she kept me updated every step along the way. Her professionalism and communication skills really put me at ease through what is normally an incredibly stressful process! Thank you Sandy!

We had a trip planned to Lexington to look at houses and Amanda and Jarran made time to show my wife and I all the houses we were interested in. As a first time home buyer it was a stressful experience but having them there to guide us through everything really helped. I felt like they treated us like family and would recommend them to anyone looking at buying in the Lexington area.

Amanda and Jarran were amazing to work with! They made us feel like we were their priority every time we met. Always quick to answer questions or discuss our concerns, they were there every step of the process. Being from out of state, the thought of buying our first home in an unfamiliar town was intimidating, but the process went smoothly because of The Thomas Group. I highly recommend Amanda and Jarran for your real estate needs!

Found: the best real estate agent in Lexington!
Look no further for a real estate professional in Lexington. Kristy is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive. She made herself available to us over what turned out to be an extended home search. She gave us every advantage in this extremely competitive market. Kristy is not afraid to point out pros and cons in a property and really had our interests at heart. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to friends and family. She is an agent you can trust and admire. We were fortunate to find her and are extremely grateful to her for all her hard work and perseverance. There is no question Kristy is who we would turn to for all our future real estate needs.

Jarran and Amanda are the best realtors you can find in Lexington! They work around the clock to find you the home of your dreams. They are extremely knowledgeable about home renovations and projects which really helps when you’re looking for a house and considering the possibilities of changing things in a potential new home. Amanda and Jarran showed us house after house, listened to what we liked and didn’t like about each, and didn’t rest until we found exactly what we were looking for! We will definitely be using them again when the time comes to sell our house and buy a new one.

I would 100% recommend Amanda and Jarran Thomas if you are looking for a realtor. We were new to the state AND first time home buyers so naturally we had so many questions and were nervous about such a big purchase.
Amanda and Jarran were always available, quick to respond, hardworking and informative. They were always upfront and honest with us and genuinely had our best interests at heart. Most importantly, we felt comfortable during the entire process.
They worked so hard to find us our dream house and we cannot thank them enough!

Jarran was very professional and went over and above what was asked of him. I would get off work late and he was still there to setup and show me properties with a positive attitude. He not only wanted me to get the house that I dreamed of but also made sure I was never buying a bad deal. This guy is the real deal and I will certainly use him on any future real estate purchases that I make.

Where do I begin... to start off, our agent, Amanda, is a very personable person. She made the process of searching for a home very easy for my husband and I. She was helpful making us feel comfortable by answering all of our questions and concerns while looking for a house. She was very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and always had new houses to show us. I would definitely recommend her to anyone buying a home!!

We had a fantastic experience with the Thomas Group! They had our best interests at heart from the moment we told them we were looking for a new house. We had very specific requests for a home and they sent us multiple houses that met our needs that were within our price range. They were prompt, honest, and professional throughout the entire process. We finally found our dream house, but multiple things did not go according to plan. Amanda advocated for us each and every time and helped us reach a desired solution for all. Additionally, they helped us sell our home. Our house sold within four hours with a cash offer, above asking price. They always made us feel like a top priority, and gave us updates and feedback throughout the process. As central Kentucky natives, they are both extremely knowledgable about the market and neighborhoods in Lexington and the surrounding areas. Their skills and expertise complement one another's, and you'll probably share a laugh with them along the way, too. If you want a seamless home-buying experience with realtors you can trust, use Amanda and Jarran Thomas!

Amanda and Jarran are so wonderful to work with! We were new to Lexington as well as first time homebuyers and couldn’t have been happier partnering with The Thomas Group. They patiently explained each part of the buying process and easily adapted the houses they showed us as we narrowed down exactly what we were looking for.
Six months after living in Lexington our family from out of state decided to invest in a short term rental property. Amanda and Jarran were able to work with them remotely to purchase the property which is now a thriving rental business! We highly recommend them for all of your home buying needs!

My wife and I had such an incredible experience using Kelsey Elefritz as our agent! We were on the fence between buying a home in Berea or Lexington and she made multiple trips to Berea for us to see houses in both places. It was so easy to communicate with Kelsey and she was always available to discuss new listings and first-time homebuyer questions. When it came time to put in an offer, Kelsey and her entire team, made it possible for us to submit a timely and competitive offer. Kelsey made the entire home buying process feel less overwhelming and manageable. We are so grateful to have met such a wonderful, caring agent like Kelsey to help us purchase our home! There is no one else we will be doing business with in the future. Kelsey is most defintely our go-to agent!

Throughout our entire buying process and beyond, Sarah has been with us every step of the way. She managed every detail for us and made our experience buying a home out of state so easy. Sarah was responsive to all of our questions providing timely and informative responses. We could not be happier in our new home!

This is the 2nd time we have worked with Kristy and we came back for a reason! Kristy is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and makes it so easy. Weather your buying or selling (we have used her for both), Kristy has you covered. She is very communicative and not afraid to go to bat for her clients. If only there was a 6th star to give!

Buying a new home (and selling a home) can be so stressful and doing it all in the same breath can make it that much more stressful…. Kristy was so wonderful throughout the whole process. She was so thoughtful, kind, and communicative. She made the experience as easy and stress-free as it could be. I’d give her 10 stars if I could!!!! Hopefully, I won’t need a realtor in the future, but if I do, Kristy will 100% who I call!

Just closed on our house today in less than 30 days due to the extreme hard work of Jarran, he really made me feel like a priority and I feel that is one of the most important attributes of an agent. He would take my calls, help me brain storm and not to mention he gave a fantastic closing gift!!! It was such a pleasure to buy my first of many homes from him! Would recommend 10/10!

Amanda and Jarran Thomas are the ideal realtors, especially for first time home buyers. They are incredibly hardworking, reliable and transparent. One word captures Amanda's work ethic very well: relentless! She and Jarran prepared a lot going into each pivotal step in our buying process (initial search, building, walk-throughs and closing) and drew our attention to so many matters we otherwise would have overlooked. They began as our realtors but became very good friends very soon into the process. We felt we were in great hands from the first moment we met and the entire process only demonstrated that they had our best interests in mind the entire time and strengthened our trust in them more and more. Despite Covid, they were able to help us meet so many deadlines and keep the process coming along smoothly. Their patience and accommodating nature was beat only by their jovial nature. Spending an entire day looking at houses with them wasn't a stressful affair because we laughed often and simply had a lot of fun throughout the process. Even after closing, Amanda and Jarran made sure we settled into the new house well and that our family was enjoying the new space. If you’re looking for a wonderful realtor team in the Lexington KY region, you’re in absolutely good hands with Amanda and Jarran Thomas. And if you're a realtor, we hope you emulate their service and professionalism but truth be told, they've set a very high bar for others to beat - so good luck! We know we wouldn't have been able to make this move had it not been for their tremendous effort. If we ever have anyone we know move to this area, we'd definitely want Amanda and Jarran to help in their home search. So it goes without saying we'd give them 5 out of 5 stars -- we can't thank them enough for their help!

We first met with Kristy when we were purchasing our house, and it was no question who we'd be using when the time came to sell it. Speaking from both the buying and selling side, Kristy is prompt, helpful and knowledgable! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone in Lexington looking for guidance through the buying or selling process.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Amanda and Jarran Thomas. My fiance and I had the best experience with the Thomas Group. We were first time home owners and they took the time to educate us on the process and explained every step along the way. We never felt in the dark when something was going on, which kept us at ease throughout this stressful life change. They responded to all our questions and concerns immediately (via text & email), which is something we really value!
They took us through dozens of homes within two days and were very patient with us. They were also great company and wonderful people to spend long days with! When we eventually found our dream home, they jumped right on it and helped us put an offer in within no time. There were multiple offers going through, but we ended up getting our dream home thanks to Amanda and Jarran.
All in all, The Thomas Group was very knowledgeable about the market, reliable in communication, and dedicated to finding us the perfect home. We HIGHLY recommend them!

The Thomas's were my third realtor upon moving home with no direction on where to start looking for my first home. I found, without a doubt, that they were honest with their opinions and patient with aligning my requirements with the market's offering. The Thomas couple is twofold; Jarran is a capable handyman and experienced with the "nuts and bolts" side, while Amanda is a visionary, no-hold back, interior designer. This team also has references for everything from lawyers to bankers to inspectors which made the process quite streamlined, especially for those coming from out of town.

We closed on our house mid-April 2018. I can’t tell you all how excited we were to work with Amanda and Jarran! Amanda is the best in communication, organization, and attention to detail; and Jarran knows all things handyman and house construction, too! Together they make one heck of a pair! We LOVE our house and we were impressed with the deal we got for it thanks to these two lovely people 🥰 I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

Where do I start? We had all but given up on finding a home in Lexington, then we found Amanda and Jarran Thomas.. Wow! Within months we were home owners. They made buying a house such a breeze. They always made my husband and I feel comfortable as they were always extremely professional as well as personal. We truly appreciated their helpful, open, transparent, and reliable work through the whole process, and we could tell they really cared about us. The best real estate Agents we have ever dealt with. Highly recommend to anyone looking to do any Real Estate transaction.

The Thomas Group is absolutely amazing! They are the best in their industry and it shows! I have had the best client experience with Amanda and Jarran. They are responsive, helpful and have educated me through the entire home buying process. As a first time home buyer I was worried about going through the process alone but they helped me every step of the way! I could not recommend a greater group to take on your home buying needs. I am so happy to have met them and I now have the home of my dreams! If you are looking to buy or sell in the KY area then look no further than the Thomas Group!

Amanda and Jarran Thomas are the best at what they do! They take into consideration your wants and needs and turn it into a reality! I love that they made the process easy to understand and much less intimidating as a first-time homebuyer. They were patient and eager to answer any questions I had about the process and also gave me their honest opinion along the way. They took the extra time to explore my options and look at different neighborhoods in the area without hesitation. I felt confident in the process because they were easygoing, yet knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely rely on them in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any of my family members or friends. Thank to the Thomases, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me during this overwhelming process!!!

Young Professional, family of 3 (newborn at the time of house-shopping!) who found The Thomas Group through a mutual connection. First time homebuying can be a stressful time, but not with these guys! Prepared, data in hand, questions answered promptly, swift communication with the sellers/buyers, and never showed us homes outside of our price range/stylings, even offering suggestions based on what we had stated we (thought) were looking for.
