Hi Penny
Dee & I wanted to thank you for all of your help, attention, professionalism and great company last year. You made a normally stressful process fun and enjoyable for us and we appreciated the time and conversations. Here is to a happy, healthy and prosperous 2015 for you!
Dee & I have been at the condo every three weeks or so for long weekends and enjoy our relaxation at the lake. I will see you sometime next spring and summer and bring you some local Pennsylvania treats.
Thanks again Penny.

Thanks so much for being a super Agent for us! I could tell from day one that we could trust you and that you wanted to see us get the right house. I felt that it was more than just a "Commission" for you and we really appreciate your honesty and for being so thorough.
I know it took me years to find the right home, and I'm glad you hung in there while I searched the web for homes, grumbling about prices! Lol You made the buying process super easy and thanks to Paula coming to your office, the entire thing was a breeze.
You will come highly recommended by us to all we know. I hope we can keep in touch, I feel like I've made a new friend. :) Take care and we will send pics as we make changes.
Best regards,
Diana

Subject: Testimonial
Penny,Again, thanks for all you have done for us over the past 2 years. Below is our testimonial for your web page: We had been looking for our Smith Mountain Lake vacation home, which will ultimately be our retirement home, for more than 3 years. We were working with an agent who did little more than take us to homes we found ourselves on line. After a frustrating year and a half, we heard about Penny and gave her a call. Before showing us any homes, she spent a great deal of time getting a clear understanding of our preferences, areas of the lake we liked, price range, etc. Her intimate knowledge of the lake and clear understanding of our preferences made the ensuing process an absolute pleasure. Penny would point out not only the positives of a home and property but also the negatives, which several times could have resulted in a very expensive mistake. If a home or dock needed repair, she would call on one of her many contractor friends or subject matter experts to provide estimates and guidance. Penny's amazing energy and drive ultimately resulted in the ideal find but Penny didn't stop there. From offer to inspections to contract to closing, Penny stayed on top of the process to ensure everything needed was in place and on time.
What more can we say than Penny is amazing.

We want to contribute to the web site feedback and forwarding the following:
Penny's in-depth product knowledge enabled us to find our dream home on the lake after only one day of looking. She really understood what we were looking for and knows the market well.
Again, we appreciate your taking us around!

We found Penny to be very knowledgeable about the Smith Mountain Lake area. Penny only showed us homes that were within our budget and had the features we had reviewed with her. She is very organized and responsive. Buying our Smith Mountain Lake house was the most positive real estate experience we have had. We highly recommend Penny as a realtor.

We contacted ~4 realtors after we had decided to look for a home at Smith Mountain Lake. Penny responded faster than anyone else and with a full list of properties within our boundaries. With each visit we narrowed our list and added those she thought appealing to us. She really understood what we wanted and optimized the time we spent looking. She really knew the lake and provided excellent advice navigating through location, code and compliance, price, statistics and ultimately our offer. Once our offer was accepted, she provided far more support after the sale and went far beyond the norm. She has become a friend in the process.
Penny knows the properties and gives accurate and clear information to her clients. She puts each client's interest ahead of her own interest. We enjoyed and appreciated Penny very much and will certainly work with her in the future.
Penny Hodges is an excellent realtor who will work very hard for her clients in finding the right home at the right price. She is professional and efficient and will go the extra mile for her clients to ensure a smooth closing.
Penny was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to fully understand what property characteristics we were looking for and did her homework to research properties such that our visit was efficient and effective. Not only was she able to find us a perfect home, she has continued to work with my family to help on other home-related matters including, landscaping, boathouse, and many other items, she is well-connected and respected. Thank you Penny for doing such a wonderful job for us!
I have known and dealt with Penny Hodges for over fifteen years. I have consistently found Penny to be of the highest professional caliber. She always knows the marketplace and really "looks after" her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly professional real estate agent.
Carol and I wanted to send you a note to thank you for all of your help in buying our lake house and what will hopefully become our retirement home. This is the sixth house we have purchased, but all of the others were our primary home. Buying a lake house was a different process for us, because there are so many other things to think about. Your experience, candor and knowledge quickly put us on the right path, and we could not be any happier with our new home. I also want to thank you for your continued responsiveness after our purchase. Your network of professionals to help us with home upkeep and to finish our basement has also been exceptional. We are very fortunate that we were able to work with your as our real estate agent and will gladly recommend you to anyone who asks.
Best regards,
Tim and Carol Walton
Penny Hodges was truly fantastic as our realtor! Over the
years we have purchased seven homes and two lots...this was by far
our best experience ever. Penny served exclusively on our behalf as a
buyer’s agent and she tirelessly fulfilled her obligations over and above our
expectations. She immediately created a portal for us to review and
categorize MLS listings, allowing us to quickly sort through hundreds of
properties and create a list of properties that fit our criteria. From
there Penny took us to view our selections and was invaluable in her knowledge
of the Smith Mountain Lake area: from lot topography (flat lot vs. inclined
lot) to location on the lake (main channel vs. cove) to water
conditions ("good" water vs. "bad" water) to county
(Bedford vs. Franklin). Not only was Penny brutally honest in assessing
the aforementioned items she also provided an expert's point of view on
countless items that a potential buyer should consider/needs to be aware
of...it turns out Penny was always right on the mark!
Penny is fully involved in the community, living
here as well as working here...seems all the locals know who Penny Hodges
is! As a result Penny is able to coordinate and arrange for the various
components necessary in a real estate transaction at the lake: septic report,
dock inspection, home inspection and the associated repairs for items needing
attention. She is also able to refer what I believe is any kind of business
that you might need/want once in your new home...we have personally used
several such businesses already (interior design, painting) and are extremely
pleased with the results.
Forty days elapsed from our first walk-through of
the home we eventually purchased to closing...Penny never seemed to sleep
during this time. She was constantly sending e-mail updates on how things were
going, what she was doing and what was going to happen next. She also
checked in like clockwork via telephone to say hello, see how we were
doing and let us know how the transaction was progressing. It was difficult
for us to keep up with Penny!
