About Louis Howell

Purchasing our home from The Avant Group was the easiest and most hassle-free home we have ever made! From contract to close to move-in, we couldn’t have received better treatment from The Avant Group’s CEO, Chris Jent. Both Chris and Matt Scobee (Iconic Real Estate Broker) were accommodating in every way possible. When we moved into our home, Chris and his team were just a simple phone call away and were extremely prompt in addressing any and all issues we had. Unfortunately, less than one year later, we were transferred and had to sell our home. I was amazed at how eager The Avant Group was to follow up on their builder's warranty to complete a nu...

We bought a new construction Avant home in Midway Hollow in early 2024. The process was smooth. We paid for a third-party inspection, and the recommendations were minor; Avant took the initiative to address them all without even a single pushback. The change orders were reasonably priced. Very few minor move-in issues were handled expediently and without headaches.

We began working with Avant Group over a year ago, and the experience has been seamless. Their team is exceptional, and their partnership with Iconic Group made everything easy. Avant was consistently responsive, punctual, and professional, delivering high-quality work with excellent value. Their warranty support has also been outstanding, always paying close attention to detail.

In 2023, we bought a new Avant home in Midway Hollow. During the warranty period, the Avant team was quick to respond and schedule repairs. I even had an issue after the warranty expired, and the team stepped up to help me out.

I have lived in my Avant Group home since 2019. It remains beautiful, even with three kids. The builder (Avant Group) and the real estate agent (Iconic Group) were both great and easy to work with. They did everything they said they would. They have remained helpful when normal issues come up and have given great references. This is the first house I have built, and the experience was professional, honest, straightforward, and the timelines were met. I would recommend them 100%.

Great experience with a new build home. Consistent communication, follow-up, and feedback!

Bought an avant house approximately 4 years ago. The house has stood up, and any small issues we have had have been fixed expeditiously. Even had an issue with an expensive roof repair that they fixed within a week. Approachable, fair, and honest. The product and fixtures are all top-tier and have held up through the years.

We first met Matt when we were trying to sell our condo in 2015. He helped us sell it at a price we did not expect to get. And we did not even have to spend money on any renovations, even though our condo needed one and was recommended by other agents before. Matt is a real professional in his field and has a deep knowledge of the market. And he is very considerate, understanding, and patient! He became a friend of our family since then. And when the time came for our family to look for a new house, 2 years later, we were happy that we knew Matt. We knew that he could find our dream house. And he found one! He has this perfect sense of what you look...

Matt is the best. We have purchased and sold with him at our side. Always there to answer questions and even climb into attics if the time calls for it. I have recommended many times over.

I had a townhouse in an area of town I thought would make it almost impossible to sell. Matt sold it in almost no time at all. His knowledge of the market and network of potential buyers was amazing. He has a good eye for detail and the right sense when it comes to how to get things done. It was a pleasure working with him, and I highly recommend him for the future. He also got me my asking price, so that was excellent.
