Dear Jana and Steve

I wanted to thank you for all your work in helping us find our house. We are still trying to get settled in.
We welcomed Elizabeth to our family on June 26th, two days before we moved. I would like to invite you and Steve anytime to stop by and take a look at the kitchen now that it has been opened up. We look forward to seeing you again.

Mike and Rachel Fessler

I am a Marine officer and recently transferred to Cherry Point. I needed to find a house quickly and The Tyson Group was very accommodating and efficient in finding a home for us that met our requirements.

Tom and Belinda Scheber

We have only words of praise to describe our experience with Steve and Jana Tyson of The Tyson Group in New Bern.   We were initially charmed by New Bern during our first visit to the area, but had no idea where to start looking for a home or the benefits and drawbacks of each area. Luckily, we contacted the Tyson Group and asked a few questions.  During each succeeding trip to New Bern over the next eighteen months, Steve and Jana would patiently take us on tours of the local area and help us learn about the many different options available. We finally found just the house that we had envisioned and are delighted with our new home.   During our previous house-buying experiences, the house closing ended the willingness of a real estate agency to extend advice and assistance – that was not the case with the Tyson Group.  Steve and Jana provided invaluable help and advice to us after closing and helped make our transition to our New Bern  home as smooth as possible.  Throughout our process, the Tyson Group was consistently friendly, helpful, and willing to go a “step beyond” what we have previously experienced from real estate professionals.
