Client Testimonials
I worked with Ken Grodner from KW to purchase my first home. He was great! Polite and professional, and did wonderful job explaining the process and my responsibilities to me since I had never bought a home before. I'd highly recommend working with Ken!

Vikki was such a blessing! She helped us purchase our property while we were living out of state. She was professional, concise, attentive, and personable! She knows and loves Tuscaloosa and made herself available to us as we navigated a new town!

Selling a home “for sale by owner” has the attraction of avoiding commission on the sale. If one is lucky enough find the right buyer, good for that person. What we experienced with Ken and Vikki is the power of having someone focusing on the sale, having the power of MLS and having someone familiar with the sale process that can drive the sale. In our case, I worked with Ken and Vikki to conceptualize who a likely buyer would be for our unique condo and then we together came up with a strategy that took advantage of their skills and MLS membership, which made all the difference in the world to us and led to the sale of our Condo. Thanks Ken and Vikki!! Job well done.

Ken Grodner and his wife Vikki helped us throughout our home buying process. As first time home buyers we learned a heck of a lot and Ken guided us along the way. This market is a rough one and we lost several bidding wars before we were able to find our new home. Which took us a whole year! He was dedicated to helping us, and very knowledgeable. He made a difficult process easy and fun! Ken is great! Definitely Recommend!

I would like to say my deepest and heartfelt thanks to my realtor for such an awesome job helping me buy and sell my lake home- Vikki Williams Grodner! She went beyond helping me, fixing any issues along the way while I am several hundred miles away. With her sass, wit, humor, kindness, upbeat and very professional demeanor, she just know how to choose the right people at the right time and get things done. Most of all she helped me get my prayers answered by making sure the next homeowner will be a family who will love and enjoy my sanctuary as much as me and Leeka did. Thank you for treating me and Leeka very well. I am highly recommending her to anyone, if you need help buying or selling a property in Alabama to please contact her.

I have had the pleasure of working with Ken as the home inspector for several of his clients with my business Alabama Home InspeXions BHM. After seeing how committed he is to the success of his clients, I had the opportunity to work with him as his client when buying my first home. He went above and beyond. He helped create an organized way to work through my options and answered many questions before I knew to ask them. I would definitely recommend working with Ken.
