Every Realtor in Columbia, TN will tell you they know the market. Ask them how many Columbia sales they've actually closed.

What makes a real estate agent the best in Columbia, TN?
The best real estate agent in Columbia, TN is the one whose Columbia work you can check: closed sales you can count and reviews you can read. The hard files matter too, like a short sale or a buyer taking over a seller's loan, because that's where an agent either knows the process or learns it on your house.
What has Kimo Quance sold in Columbia, TN?
I've closed 8 sales in Columbia from March 2024 through September 2026: 7 where I represented the seller and 1 where I represented the buyer. That count comes from my brokerage's transaction records for my eXp Realty years, as of November 12, 2026.
I also have a Columbia listing that's been under contract since August 2026, and the buyer is assuming the seller's mortgage. That means the buyer takes over the loan the seller already has, at its existing terms, instead of starting a new one. Not every loan allows it, and the lender has to sign off. If you have a loan you think a buyer would want, ask me about it before you list.
What awards and reviews does Kimo Quance have in Columbia?
FastExpert named me a 2026 Top Agent in Columbia, TN. In FastExpert's words, I was ranked one of the top 15 real estate agents in Columbia based on my number of recent transactions.
FastExpert also named me a 2026 Five Star Agent, which it awards to the agents with the highest reviews. My FastExpert profile has 210 reviews, rated 5 out of 5, as of November 12, 2026.
Has Kimo Quance handled short sales in Columbia?
Yes. I closed my first Columbia short sale in May 2026, and a second short sale in Maury County in early 2026. Both were FHA loans where the seller owed more than the house would bring, and neither seller paid anything at closing.
The Columbia seller had moved out of state for work and was months behind on his FHA loan. His house had already sat on the market with another agent with no offer. Here's how his file ran:
- The house went live 9 days after he first called me.
- The first buyer backed out after the inspection. I had a new contract at the same price and terms 3 days after the release.
- The lender approved the short sale 63 days after the house went live.
- It closed 55 days after approval, 127 days from his first call, about four months.
- He brought nothing to the closing table, and no foreclosure was ever filed.
Here's how he put it in his Zillow review:
"Truthfully, without Kimo I would have faced foreclosure, but thanks to his expertise, we were able to pull off a short sale and save me a lot of time, stress, and money." Columbia short sale seller
The whole file, day by day, is in my FHA short sale case study from Columbia.
The Maury County homeowner was two payments behind and in a forbearance plan when we listed. It took about five months from listing to closing. Late in the file the numbers came in about $1,500 short of HUD's 88 percent line, so the buyer's agent and I cut our commission by that amount to close the gap. The homeowner brought $0 to closing, and the servicer's clear to close came with a signed deficiency waiver. That one is written up in my pre-foreclosure sale case study.
If you're behind on a Columbia house and it won't sell for what you owe, call me before the next envelope from your servicer shows up. If you have equity and just need to sell soon, start with selling a house fast in Columbia.

How do you judge any real estate agent in Columbia, TN?
Review counts and recent sales are a fair place to start. Then ask every Realtor in Columbia, TN you interview these five questions, me included, and pick the one whose answers you can check.
- "How many Columbia sales have you closed in the last few years?" A good answer is a specific number, not "a lot."
- "Show me the closed sales you priced from." You want the actual sales, from your own neighborhood first wherever there are any.
- "Where are your reviews, and how many are there?" A good answer names the sites so you can read them yourself.
- "Have you closed a short sale or a loan assumption? Walk me through one." If your situation needs either, you want someone who has done it, start to finish.
- "Who will I actually be talking to after I sign?"
