My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Phyllis and Casey over the past year as we searched for our first home—and we truly can't say enough great things about the experience.

They both were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and dedicated, showing us between 10–15 homes over the course of about 2 years (off and on) without ever making us feel rushed or pressured.

Even after months of searching, they remained just as enthusiastic and responsive as they were from day one. When we finally found “the one,” they helped guide us through every detail of the offer and closing process with confidence and clarity.

If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely cares, is in it for the long haul, and has your best interests at heart, Phyllis and Casey are the one! We’re incredibly grateful for all their hard work and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home.

Thank you, Phyllis and Casey!

Phyllis and Casey did an exceptional job of selling our house. Their knowledge of the lake market is unparalleled and their advice is spot on! They also navigated a challenging situation as we were going through divorce. They were not only professional but sensitive to our communication needs. 100% recommend this dynamic team!

Phyllis and Casey are the very best team you can work with. They both are extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, and a dream to work with. They both have their own expertise that they bring together that is unmatched. From photos, videos, and advertising your property is marketed well! Everything is done in a timely manner and every email, phone call or text message is promptly answered. They are with you every step of the way. They can be out of the office, on vacation or in the office, you would never know, they are always available to you. Our family has worked with them on multiple sales and well as purchases! You can not go wrong with Phyllis and Casey! Highly recommend!

We can’t say enough good things about Phyllis and Casey—these two went above and beyond to make our home-buying experience seamless and successful. From the very beginning, they were all in—coordinating every moving part, keeping us informed every step of the way, and jumping through every imaginable hoop to ensure we closed on our house.

There were definitely some unexpected twists along the journey, but Phyllis and Casey tackled each one with calm professionalism, relentless determination, and a positive attitude that kept us grounded and hopeful. Their commitment, responsiveness, and attention to detail made all the difference.

Thanks to their hard work, we’re now in a home we truly love, and we know none of it would have happened without them. If you're looking for realtors who genuinely care and will fight for your best interest from start to finish, Phyllis and Casey are the dream team.

We recently sold our home on Smith Mountain Lake. We chose Phyllis and Casey Johnson to handle the transaction for us and we could not be more pleased! The fact that Phyllis has been in real estate for 39 years came through time and again as she guided us through the process. She took care of so many details, such as making sure our dock permit was valid. She was also wonderfully available to answer all of our questions and in the end she was right on the money as far as her appraisal, our asking price, and the resulting sales price. We highly recommend Phyllis and Casey Johnson with Remax Lake Realty! We could not have asked for a better outcome!

Phyllis and Casey, representing us on our lake house was the best decision we made. Their marketing strategy was so successful during the winter and holiday season, exceeded all our expectations. Closing was a breeze. Just do it. Hire Phyllis and Casey.

Phyllis and Casey go above and beyond for their clients. As the owner of a local real estate settlement agency I have the honor and privilege of working with a lot of their clients on closings. We are always blown away by the professionalism, attention to detail and the passion for which they advocate for their clients. You will not go wrong selecting these ladies to assist you with the sale or purchase of your home!

It is a privilege to be able to express our appreciation for Phyllis and Casey for their professional and personal help in selling our house.

After knowing Phyllis for many years, we knew she would be the realtor to use when we sold our house. During this process, we were amazed at the knowledge Phyllis has in working through the many issues and details in the sale of a house. She is amazing!

Whenever we needed help, Phyllis and Casey were available to guide us through the process of getting our house ready to sell. It was important to us that either Phyllis or Casey responded quickly to our email and/or calls.

We appreciated all the little extra details they addressed such as, installing reflectors on our dock, resolving technical issues with our dock, and even coming to our house to provide answers to questions. Another very important plus is that Phyllis was able to refer us to professionals who could make the necessary repairs on the house.

Phyllis and Casey carefully arranged for many showings informing us in advance of each appointment. After each showing, we appreciated reading the positive and negative comments from potential buyers. After a Realtor Open House, the attendees provided some very good suggestions and compliments.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience while going through the difficult process of selling our dream house.

We purchased two homes and sold one with Phyllis and Casey Johnson. They are an absolutely amazing mother-daughter realtor team!! Whether it was a big or small issue that arose, they were always there for us every step of the way. With 45+ combined years in the real estate business they not only have experience, but also many contacts in the Smith Mountain Lake area which have been invaluable to us.

We love Phyllis and Casey’s energy, honesty, and wisdom. We spent a lot of time together as they guided us through our three closings over several months. They now feel like a part of our family!

Our realtors of choice at Smith Mountain Lake are the dynamic duo of Phyllis and Casey Johnson!

Phyllis and Casey Johnson are the best. My client had to move to a retirement community because he was unable to care for himself. He had a home on SML that had to be sold. They were so helpful and professional in the process of selling his home. Very helpful and accommodating in the process! The have helped find both of my children their own homes and I couldn't be more pleased with them. I would highly recommend them to everyone. They are simply amazing!

We had an incredibly positive experience working with Casey and Phyllis. Casey was diligent in looking for a lake home for us. She knew our price range and our desired features. She would even go to a home and send videos and pictures to see if we would be interested enough to make the trip to the area. She and Phyllis arranged all inspections, repair work and the closing. We would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again if we have a need.

When preparing to list our home, we wanted realtors with a proven success record at SML and we knew that was Phyllis and Casey! They had sold homes for several of our friends, and we knew that they were very knowledgeable about the lake. Casey took amazing pictures to showcase our home! They provided us with many comps and helped us to list our home at the best price. Our house sold the first day and they helped us to evaluate the offers, as well as providing support throughout the process. We highly recommend Phyllis and Casey Johnson for your real estate needs!

Recently worked with both Casey and Phyllis on buying my first house, and they went above and beyond to make sure every little thing was taken care of, even after the closing date. They were both incredibly patient, working with me for 2 years to find the perfect house for me. I could not recommend anyone more, and you would be doing yourself a disservice working with anyone else. If I could rate more stars, I would in a heartbeat.

Both Casey and Phyllis are phenomenal realtors and very great to work with! I just bought my first house and not only were they patient with me but they always had my back. I was really scared of the home buying process because it was so unfamiliar to me and I was worried about being pressured to buy but I am so thankful that I found Casey and Phyllis because they made everything nice and simple. They helped me find good contractors and other services I needed which was extremely helpful because again, as a first time home buyer it was all so daunting. I truly cannot recommend them enough and cannot thank them enough for helping me on this big milestone in my life!

Phyllis and Casey Johnson are the best realtors at SML. They are very knowledgeable of the area and the lake with a deep understanding of the real estate business.

What an wonderful experience working with Phyllis and her team. It’s been about 2 years since we started seriously looking for property at SML. We have finally achieved our goal. Phyllis worked very hard to find properties that met our requirements and worked tirelessly to make sure everything was taken care of all the way thru closing and afterwards. With her experience and knowledge of the area and local contractors/vendors the process was trouble free and a pleasure.
We highly recommend her and will definitely call upon Phyllis and her team in the future. You just can’t go wrong them.

Above and Beyond!! I am honestly not someone who posts on social media, BUT....... I simply had to sit down and write a review for Phyllis Johnson of Re/Max. My husband and I were looking to buy lakefront property for about a year, and since we live 4 hours from the lake, it was not an easy task. During that time we had the opportunity to work with two or three other real estate agents. To be honest, we almost gave up on our dream because living 4 hours away made everything seem so confusing and convoluted. Other real estate agents were not listening to what we wanted and were more focused on the quick sale in the competitive market. We did not know where to start with permits and finding builders. We certainly did not want to buy a property, just to find out we could not have a dock or the house we wanted because of permit approval. It just seemed to hard to manage from so far away. Then we met Phyllis! Phyllis was NOT like that at all! Phyllis Johnson was a true Godsend. She is honest, ethical, professional, knowledgeable, patient, extremely accessible, has tons of connections, is funny, kind and also extremely pleasant to work with. Working with Phyllis, in the short span of 8 months, we managed to buy a lot; rescind that contract because the contingency clause for the septic system we wanted was not met; purchased a much more beautiful property; got a permit for a 6 bedroom septic system; got a dock permit; got a dredging permit; got a permit for Rip Rap; and had the two lots we purchased be combined into one large lot. Oh, and found a builder! We did all of that quickly and without confusion. If you know anything about SML and the permit process, you know that is nothing short of miraculous! Phyllis was happy to answer the questions we had about moving forward with our project, even a good 6 plus weeks after our closing! It was truly our pleasure to work with Phyllis. Not only did we find an excellent real-estate agent, but we made a friend as well. My husband and I are so excited about our future at SML. Phyllis truly helped make our dreams come true. We did not have the pleasure of working with Casey for this purchase, but I am sure the apple did not fall far from the tree at all!!

Phyllis Johnson and her team were extremely knowledgeable, and highly responsive at all hours and any day of the week. She helped us navigate successfully through some very difficult situations and provided excellent advice and service throughout our buying process. She also provided service with issues beyond the purchase of our property, including dock planning and permitting, septic system planning and permitting and many other issues when we needed expert advice to make a sound purchase at Smith Mountain Lake. Would highly, highly recommend this team. We will certainly use them again and look forward to keeping in touch with her after we move.

Casey and Phyllis are amazing!! They were able to walk us through the process of getting our first home despite the many hurdles we had against us.

Casey answered our calls all hours of the day and night. They both worked around our three hour distance and my job which requires spur of the minute storm calls. All this against not so trustworthy sellers, they had the odds stacked against them. In the end both Casey and Phyllis put in the hours and worked very hard for my family to get us in our first home. Thank you!

When we selected Phyllis Johnson and her daughter Casey Johnson as our representative in our real estate transactions, we got what’s called a “twofor”. Phyllis and Casey have been completely thorough from our initial inquiry until we signed on the dotted line and beyond. They work as a team, together and independently, always available to answer any questions helping clients through the maze of real estate. Calls to Casey or Phyllis were answered or returned promptly. These Franklin County, Virginia natives have guided and stood by us through the sale of our home of 28 years and the search, negotiation and ultimate purchase of a maintenance free villa. Their local knowledge of the process and support options like storage, movers, title company and other contractors made our move stress free. The advice and support we have received have been invaluable.

These two are a fantastic team in terms of personality, know-how and determination which my fiance and I greatly appreciated during our home-buying process in the fall of 2019. Despite all the speed bumps that came along they were knowledgeable on what could or couldn't be done to fix those issues (specifically concerning some complications we ran into with how our now property and home is deeded, etc) and were with us every step of the way, even when we had to switch mortgage companies (again, one of the many complications).

The long and short for Casey and Phyllis is that these two have the brains and the stones to make sure they can help you navigate every nook and cranny of your home-buying experience. Not that I want to do it all again anytime soon but I hope when that time comes again that I need a great, personable realtor I know who I'm calling on.

Phyllis was a absolute 10 when she was my buying agent 6 years ago, and she is still hands down the best in the business.
Her professional and dedicated approach shouts confidence, and she is constantly just a phone call away.
She brings that "no bridge to far" attitude that nothing will get in the way of success and you can tell upon meeting her that is sincere in wanting what is best for her customers.
I would never buy or sell in the SML area without using Phyllis as my agent.

Casey was such a huge help in buying my home! I had a relatively short timeframe to shop, but after we discussed what I was looking for in a house, she went right to work and sent me several prospects within the first few days. As a local, she knew the ins and outs of the area in a way that others wouldn't be able to compete with. She was extremely quick and responsive as we discussed each house and once I chose one, she walked me through the whole process in a way that I could understand and felt comfortable with. Any time I had questions or concerns, she was always quick to reply and get me the information I need. We were able to negotiate a great deal for me and I owe that all to Casey. Any time someone I know needs a real estate agent, I will undoubtedly send them her way.
