About Us

A flat fee you can live with.

WiseMove assembled a team of ADVISORS instead of salespeople to help you navigate an industry that is clouded with ambiguity and confusion. Technology has overhauled the traditional real estate buying and selling process, yet the outdated commission pay structure has stayed the same.

We streamlined the buying and selling process by only charging a simple flat fee. Think about it: The hours spent selling a $300,000 house is the same as a $500,000 house. Why should the compensation to the REALTOR® be roughly $6000 more for the $500,000 house than that of the $300,000 house? It just doesn’t make sense, which is why we offer a single flat fee and provide our staff of seasoned REALTORS® and specialists to help clients of all budgets and experience levels.

Slide 1

I loved every minute of working with Shannon and the crew at WiseMove Real Estate. The most important aspects of real estate companies is accessibility and communication. This is where WiseMove excelled. I am so happy to have my family in our new home. We looked at over a half dozen properties and were picky about it. Shannon was such a relaxing and helpful person to have around during this time. Thank you Shannon, Jude, Ben and Alex. What a terrific experience! Total professionals.

-Beau Fornaris

Slide 2

LOVE my house. As a landlord they have gone above and beyond to make sure my family is comfortable and not many issues considering the house is brand new but if so they were fixed immediately. Last but NOT least BEN THANK YOU again for coming out after 1am when we were locked out (three kids) Also when our son locked us out just that time not as late!

Y’all are the BEST!!Thank you

-Dionne Veque

Slide 3

Wisemove is such a great real estate company. They are helpful with every aspect of the house buying process, from finding the right home to setting inspections. My real estate agent Shannon Worrel treated my wife and I with patience and respect as we searched for an ideal family home. I have never bought a house so I had plenty of questions. Shannon educated me on all the different aspects of house buying and helped ease my worries. House buying is such a big decision! Shannon was always available for my call- and that means 24-7. I was so impressed how accessible she was for me. Jude, Ben, and Alex at the Wisemove office were also so friendly and helpful. I would suggest WIsemove to anyone and everyone who needs to buy, sell, or even rent. (I didn’t even realize they can help you find rental places too)

-Andrew Worrel

My realtor for life, Shannon, was amazing! She new all the ends and outs of the city and worked tirelessly to find the perfect home for my family and I. I couldn’t be more pleased with her professionalism. 

-Ryan Davis
