Destinee is AMAZING! She guided me through the purchase of my home with such ease! I loved working with her and would recommend her to anyone! She knows her stuff and definitely delivers! She makes sure she understands what you want, what your vision is,
and then does her thing and I didnt have to worry about anything! She is awesome!!
This young lady Destinee was amazing in selling my home. She has a high knowledge of what she does as a realtor. Destinee maintained communication with me throughout the entire process. She is also a very positive and caring individual. It was truly an
honor to have her as my realtor. I highly recommend her to anyone who has an interest in either buying or selling a home. I tell you what; She receives more than 5 stars from me.
Working with Destinee was a dream. Moving from out of state was a challenge in itself but Destinee went above and beyond to make sure me and my family were comfortable with the transition. She was patient and supportive with her time that I felt like I
was her only client . She is a great agent.
Very knowledgeable and patient, walked me through purchasing my first home from start to finish
Jayme is patient, straight forward, knowledgeable, and an all around amazing human. There is no one else I would rather learn this crazy business of real estate from! I'm so thankful to have her in my corner!
I have been with NextHome Paramount since August of 2020. Before, I was with a big box brokerage, where I felt like I was merely a number within a sea of other agents. I didn't feel like I was getting the guidance I needed, unless I paid a hefty fee for
it. Enough was enough.
I made the move to NextHome Paramount, after meeting with Jayme Downey on two occasions. Both times, she made me feel like family and that she truly cared... Not about how much money I would bring the brokerage, but about my personal success in the business. NextHome's motto is "Humans Over Houses"...That really resonated with me, so I jumped in with both feet and haven't looked back!
Jayme has 100% followed through with what she said she would do to help me push myself and my business to greater success. She is an incredible mentor, who has consistently been there to answer my questions, advise me how to navigate tough situations, and guide me in avenues, I otherwise would not have thought of, to gain business. She is a genuine person who really cares!
If you have been on the fence about whether your brokerage is the right fit or perhaps there is something more your speed out there, I highly recommend speaking with Jayme Downey and learn more about what NextHome offers. The culture is one of caring about the client, not the numbers. Their technology is unsurpassed, providing you with EVERYTHING you need to be successful and stand out. NextHome Paramount has a culture of true support and partnership. I can't recommend NextHome Paramount enough!

Jayme is a born leader. She is willing to share her knowledge and experience. Guiding her team to bigger and better achievements is Jayme's number 1 goal.
Jayme Downey is a savvy business woman and broker who is focused on helping people reach their personal and professional goals. She is open and honest in a caring and supportive way. I love that I can call her for advice and she will ask insightful questions
and provide great advice. She helps me be a better broker.
Jayme supersedes all expectations when it comes to a leader. A true "lead by example" mentor and leader!!! Thanks for always thinking out side of the box and leading the charge as a Professional in the Real Estate Industry. I highly recommend Jayme in
all things Real Estate: Buy/Sell Broker, Broker In Charge and as a Real Estate Educator.
Jayme is on my short list of people that I can depend on for thoughtful, to the point, impactful advice. Her knowledge base in our industry is outstanding. If she is into getting something done - don't get in her way ;). As an Agent I would be blessed
to have her in my corner with her experience and encouraging ways. Jayme knows how to lead and build teamwork that brings the rewards of doing business right. Would recommend her every day of the week and twice on Tuesdays as a Broker in charge!
Jayme is the broker that I call EVERY SINGLE TIME I have a client moving to North Carolina. Most of the time I don't even know if she services that area, she is just my FIRST choice! More recently I had an agent moving to North Carolina, and he asked me
what brokerage he should interview with. Hands down, I told him that he could go NOWHERE other than NextHome Paramount, with Jayme as his broker! Of course he made the move, and is as happy as he could be. I could not be more proud to share the NextHome brand
with Jayme, and the entire crew at Paramount. CLASS ACT
From listing to closing, the Downey team made our home selling experience as easy as can be! Open houses, marketing, guidance, and personal attention were all top notch. Thanks guys!
The Downey�s did an amazing job of walking us through the process of selling our first home. They stood beside us from staging the home for market, all the way to the sale. No matter the time of day, where they were, or what they were doing, Bobby and
Jayme were always there to answer any questions or concerns we had along the way. They also made sure we got the most money for our home, always negotiating with our best interest in mind. We can�t thank them enough for the flawless experience.
Wonderful team of realtors! The Downeys helped me find an awesome house in Rock Hill, SC. They know their stuff, are pleasant to work with and negotiate and provide wise counseling/suggestions. If you need professionals for your real estate plans in the
Charlotte Metro area, use the Downeys. They are the best. Jayme did a fantastic job at helping us with the home buying process. She stayed in touch via email and text regularly and constantly updated us on the next step. She answered questions quickly and
put us in contact with the lenders when necessary. Bobby found us a real great home in Rock HIll, SC. I highly recommend they Downeys for your real estate needs. They work super hard and get the job done.
We could not have asked for a better RE team than Bobby and Jayme Downey. They were very professional, and knowledgeable and their expertise was invaluable in finding our dream home in a very tight market. They were there every step of the way and were
always available, even on short notice, to view properties or review information during the negotiation process. They also have a team of experts to assist in every step of the process from inspections to loan closings. I would highly recommend Downey Properties
to anyone who is thinking of buying a home in the greater Charlotte area
Best RE team in Charlotte! You will not be disappointed if you chose them to help you with your RE needs. They are there every step of the way, even on short notice, to view properties, review inspections and negotiate on your behalf. They also have a
great network of professionals they work with to help service all of your needs from inspection to closing. Thanks again Bobby and Jayme!!!
I love the D!! I�ve bought/sold and bought again with Jayme & Team. In my experience this team provides top notch customer service and has been a tremendous help will buying/selling and even supports with resources after the fact.
I highly recommend Downey Properties, super knowledgeable about the market and the neighborhoods. Hard working, honest, the best!
The Downey's have helped us buy twice and sell once. They are amazing at what they do and we would never use anyone else!
Best realtor ever! Fun, passionate, puts the client first. Will never use anyone else.
We bought and sold with the Downeys. Hghly recommend!
Great experience working with this team! Highly recommend!
Went far and beyond to get our property sold. We live out of state and the Downey�s handled everything for us. Sold in I think 3 or 4 days. Top notch!
The Downeys are genuinely wonderful people and a great team.
Great experience working with Bobby and Jayme! Very professional, recommend to all who is looking to purchase a home.
Hands down the best team to work with when trying to purchase a new home. Hands down the best team to work with when trying to purchase a new home.I thought for sure a few years ago that nobody could sell our first house. I was wrong. The Downeys did in
basically less than 45 days. That was the first experience selling and buying a new home we had with the Downeys and it exceeded my expectations.Fast forward 2 years later and we find our dream home unexpectedly. We asked Bobby if he could make it happen given
the house we wanted was already on the market and ours wasn't...Boom!We got our house sold in less than 3 days and moved into our dream home 30 days later!I don't leave reviews. However, this experience deserves one.Our family thanks you for helping us and
wish you the best in the future!The Pates
The best of the best!! We love our home and appreciate all the help in getting us into it!
Love the Downey's. Their partnership and knowledge is second to none. We weren't even on the market to sell our home...then all of a sudden, in a blink of an eye, we sold our home and are now in our forever dream home! Honest, hard working couple that
is all about family, friendship and loyalty. They would and will never lead you down a path you're not 100% committed to. Love these two!
As a first time home buyer, I was very nervous and felt overwhelmed as I started the process of homeownership. Once I got to know Bobby & Jayme, looking at homes and going through the process felt painless & easy! They made sure I understood every little
detail of the paperwork & that I was comfortable with every decision I made. I really appreciated their honesty & hardwork. They are very trustworthy brokers and I highly recommend them to help you!
Bobby and Jayme helped me purchase my first home. They guided me through the process by listening to my needs, always available and efficient for every question I had, and welcoming me into a life that for many years I thought would not happen as a single
mother. I think the best part of the experience is knowing that almost 2yrs later, I feel a sense of comfort in knowing I can call,text or email them if I have any issues as a new home owner. I love my home, and when I decide to buy again, I will definitely
bereaching out to them. My experience was above and beyond what I thought was going to happen
Jayme and Bobby made the buying and selling process a real pleasure. They are amazing at what they do, true professionals. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
The Downey Group assisted us greatly with our move from Myrtle Beach, SC to the area of Charlotte, NC. They had to teach us the "game" and finally together we hit the ball out the park with our new to us home. Many thank you's for your due diligence and
patience. It feels like home!
Bobby and Jayme are a true pleasure to work with. Very professional and patient!!
Jayme (and her husband, Bobby) Downey offered top-notch professionalism with a personal touch, guiding us through the selling and buying of our homes with unceasing concern for our satisfaction, both with the actual residences and with the process itself.
The Downeys were invested in our happiness and did everything in their power to keep us informed and involved at every point, from reviewing our wish list for a new home to surveying potential properties to weighing the pros and cons of various offers and
bids. The Downeys get our nomination for real estate's power couple: Bobby's silver-tongued talent for explaining the minutiae of real estate in relevant, accessible language is wonderfully balanced by Jayme's no-nonsense honesty and firm grasp of legalities.
When once we made the decision to go with our current home, Bobby gracefully handed us over into Jayme's capable hands. They complete each other, working the entire spectrum from selling to buying. Other friends have experienced the same degree of satisfaction
with the Downeys' work ethic and dedication to the customer. Thank you for your time and consideration,Jeremy and Michelle Kuhn
Bobby is a friend and high school classmate of mine. He and his wife Jayme were amazing! I sprung it on them one day saying I wanted to move back to Charlotte. 2 weeks later I had a house. They work tirelessly and most importantly with integrity. They
give you the straight scoop even if it means they might lose out. They do this because they know earning your trust will always bring you back which is far more important than any one time gain. I highly recommend them. They are people you want at your house
warming party. Friends for life. Thanks Bobby and Jayme!!!
We had a great journey with Jamie and Bobby! They sold two properties for us and helped us realize our dreams in landing us in our dream home. While listing two properties is never easy and gets stressful, Jamie was always the calming voice of reason and,
with her advice, we were able to do the right things at the right time to make it all happen. This advice included timely price adjustments and key staging thoughts.Bobby was there, as well. He is an expert in the finance field and Jamie was able to hand us
off to his expertise when needed. He also there to lend us a hand without hesitation.A great team in business and in life. Two special people that I am proud to call friends and I would highly recommend to anyone, especially the people I care about the most
Michael and I had a terrific and wonderful day on May 23rd; we bought a house and have The Downey Group to thank for all the happiness and excitement we have enjoyed since moving into our home. Over the course of the past few years, Jayme Downey took her
time to help us find a home that is exactly what we wanted. The right size, the right neighborhood and not just all but everything that we had asked for in our "forever" home. I remember a conversation we had with Jayme at the beginning of our journey to home
ownership. She said we should be excited about driving into our driveway at the end of the day. Such good, good advice and she worked tirelessly for us until that advice became a reality. We are lucky people thanks to The Downey Group. When you want to buy
a home, call The Downey Group. When you want to sell your home, call The Downey Group. Ask for Jayme Downey or Bobby Downey. They establish relationships with their clients and are "all in" when they work for you. I'll say it again....be sure to ask for Jayme
Downey or Bobby Downey at The Downey Group. So after all the paper signing and the keys were handed over, we drove home. We were excited then and continue to be happy each time we drive into our driveway. It's not just a house, it's home.....Beth and Michael

As a first time homebuyer, the thought of finding the right home and the right price is very intimidating. Working with Jayme made the process so much easier than I had anticipated. Jayme did a fantastic job at listening to my likes, dislikes, needs, wants,
etc. throughout the house hunting process. I believe that each time her and I visited a home she learned more about me and truly applied what she learned to filter and help identify potential homes. She was very honest and forthright in identifying pros and
cons which should be thoughtfully considered before making any decision. I found this especially helpful given these were my first experiences visiting potential homes. When we found the one, Jayme did an amazing job at explaining the process and walking me
through step by step from the initial offer to counter offers and through the due diligence period to closing. She was always very detailed and unbiased in presenting the facts and allowed me to make an informed decision that I was happy with. The closing
process was seamless. Jayme organized everything and suggested professionals that were also a pleasure to work with. Everything went off without a hitch which was a tribute to her attention to detail and professionalism. I will certainly be recommending Jayme
to any friends or family purchasing or selling a home in the greater Charlotte market
Jayme is detail oriented, very personable, extremely knowledgeable, and super fun to work with. She makes the home buying process simple. She is a great negotiator and real advocate for her clients. She knows the market and does her homework. She is a
straight shooter.
Jayme listed my house and promptly got the word out to other Realtors letting them know. She was very helpful and informative on the process of listing the house, and stayed in touch with me everyday as calls for showings started coming in. I�m delighted
to say my house was sold in just 4 days! Jayme's expertise and knowledge was critical in guiding me through the negotiating process and terms of the sale. Needless to say, I was delighted with Jayme and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a smart
and efficient Realtor.
Jayme was such a pleasure to work with throughout the process of purchasing my first home. She truly listened to my wants/needs, and did not try to force me into a situation that did not have my best interest. When the time came to make an offer Jayme
was a strong negotiator and continued to work toward the best possible price all the way through the end of the negotiation. My negotiation went back and forth several times during the initial offer, as well as following the inspection report. Jayme refused
to stop negotiating until I was happy with the outcome of the deal. As a first time homebuyer Jayme kept me well informed throughout the entire process. The closing went as scheduled and Jayme took care of all the necessary scheduling/paperwork to make the
process as painless on me as buying a home could be. All third parties Jayme referred me to (inspection company, attorney, mortgage broker, general contractor) were timely and professional. I will continue to recommend Jayme to friends and family, and would
not hesitate to work with Jayme again in the future.
My overall experience with working with Realtor Jayme Downey was excellent, she was very professional and knowledgeable. Any questions that I had were always addressed in a timely manner. I started looking for a home in February 2008 by June 2008 we closed
on my new home! Jayme made purchasing my home fun and exciting for the entire family, she is highly recommended.
