My wife and I recently closed on a house after dealing with this agency. The office staff here was…read morevery friendly and helpful every time we stepped in the door. The location is very convenient for house hunting in Southern and Western Wake Co. The parking lot has plenty of cool shade, a welcome novelty in the June heat. We worked with Claire McCullough so this review is mostly a reflection of her service. One of the reasons we ended up with Claire was her prompt and useful communication. We sent out a number of inquiries to agents all over the triangle in regards to specific properties and were generally disappointed with the quality of the responses. Some would reply quickly with little-to-no answers and others just wouldn't bother replying for days. Claire had actually just sold the property that we emailed her about but she immediately started asking us what we thought of a number of listings (most of which were not associated with Fonville Morisey) in an effort to establish a feel for our tastes and desires. We quickly chose a wide range of homes (in price, age, location and style) that we thought we might like and scheduled some time to see them. Before that date came we changed our mind several times and Claire never batted an eyelash (at least, if she did she never let us know). Claire helped us (or should I say, 'taught us how to) scrutinize every property very thoroughly and answered all of our questions about the implications of any issues. She made it very clear in everything she did that she was serving our best interest. Unfortunately, being motivated buyers with no idea what we wanted, we spent several days trying to cram in as many properties as possible. It was a miserable experience by design; so much so that I had to question myself for leaving a 5 star review for something we didn't exactly enjoy. Well, it was worth it for us in the end because Claire empowered us to see so many properties so that we could narrow our choices and negotiate a great price on a house that is so much better than anything we had imagined owning when we started sending out emails to random agents. My wife and I dealt with a lousy self-serving real estate agent years ago and it really made us dread finding another to work with. This agency and our agent really healed that wound.

Worked with Bruce Cohen and he is AWESOME…read more He was prompt, attentive and very thorough guiding me through the entire process He returns calls, always makes time and is an overall great guy. Using him again as we speak b/c of the amazingly easy experience he gave me the first time. There is no other RE agent I would ever consider using for myself or family HIGHLY recommend Bruce to anyone buying or selling in the Triangle!

If I could give zero stars I would. Started to work with Ryan Underwood. He wanted to meet us for…read moreone weekend but we are relocating to the Raleigh area and wanted to view the many suburbs on our own time first and then narrow it down after and then get with him. Once we mentioned that, communication stopped, apparently he was offended by us wanting to do certain things on our time. I followed up with him twice and crickets. I am certain that you can find a much more professional realtor elsewhere. I know we did and we will be moving to Wake Forest next month.

Mike Gibbons (Raleigh Realty) was an incredible resource to our family. Moving from out of state…read morewith nearly no familiarity of the area, Mike patiently walked us through the different towns, housing communities, and school districts (even set us up with school consultant because it is a process with different options). Was always available, made the process of searching out houses very easy and when we came to town efficiently set up home showings. Plain and simply 5 Star service, if you use someone other than Raleigh Realty, even more specifically Mike, you are leaving yourself open to 2nd class service. NO BRAINER!

Working with Phillip Marquis on our recent home sale was a dream experience. He helped us get an…read moreoffer $5k over our top-of-the-market asking price within 24 hours of listing, worked with us through the due diligence and negotiation process, and calmly helped us manage some frustrating demands made by the buyers and their agent within the final hours of our closing. His wife Kelley did a spectacular job with staging our home beautifully as well - her taste is impeccable. Phillip has a fantastic balance of a no-nonsense attitude combined with a lot of compassion and kindness, which helped us trust that he was 100% on our side throughout the whole process. He kept us informed every step of the way while tactfully limiting our engagement in some of the more frustrating negotiation process, which helped us stay as calm as possible (while keeping the selling process moving as smoothly as possible too.) In the end, I know we got top dollar for our home and minimized the expenses associated with selling as well. I will 100% use Phillip again for any real estate needs in the future and will be recommending his services to all my friends and family as well. Besides just being a great realtor, he's a wonderful human being as well! Thank you Phillip (and Kelley) for your support through this process!

When we were considering a move to Raleigh, NC we sought recommendations for a realtor from our…read moreson's workplace. After reviewing about 15, we selected Phillip Marquis Realty. We're very glad we did. Phillip easily understood our situation and was quick to respond to emails and texts. His background in real estate was invaluable as we looked at various properties. He never pressured us to hurry, even in a hot sellers' market. And he gave us the confidence to pursue the property we bought at the price we paid. Phillip is well-versed in his field and a very nice guy to work with. We highly recommend him.

George Wilson recently listed a home in Cary that sold the first day. That's very common in Cary…read morehowever what the Seller doesn't know is that Mr Wilson DID NOT represent his Seller's best interests as he agreed to in the contract he signed with the Seller. I also viewed that house the same day/time as the buyer who ended up with the house. My Realtor tried to contact Mr Wilson by phone to let him know she was bringing an offer but he wouldn't return her calls. My offer to purchase that house was almost IDENTICAL to the one the Seller accepted with one big difference...my offer was substantially higher than the offer Mr Wilson presented. The Seller NEVER new about our BETTER offer since Mr Wilson chose in his zeal to make the quick sale NEVER bothered to call our Realtor back. Oh he finally contacted her the next day to let her know it was already pending and gave his lame excuses as to why he didn't return her call. I get it. The housing market is hot. Most houses sell quickly and offers can be plentiful. In this case I wasn't even get the opportunity submit my offer the same day. It is my opinion that Mr Wilson DID NOT represent his Sellers best interests because he didn't bother to see if the other offer was better...which it was...by $20+k. I would never list a property with a person or company who apparently lacks the integrity to do his best for the clients he's supposed to be representing. I'm sure the Sellers would not be happy if they knew all the details.

As a lender I get to deal with many real estate agents in the Triangle. Craig Rutman of Raleigh…read moreCary Realty is one of the best agents I have ever worked with. Craig pays attention to details and provides the highest level of service to his customers. He is a knowledgeable, experienced real estate professional that performs an thorough investigation of the local market to better advise his clients on a fair list or purchase price and he backs it up with facts from his research. I speak from experience as Craig has represented me in two home sales and represented my parents in the purchase of their home. Hire Craig and you will see why he has sold so many homes and represents a lot of buyers in the Raleigh/Cary/Apex area. He has earned my trust and respect and I recommend him highly.

Living in North Raleigh we see Spencer Property signs throughout the area, which to me is always a…read moregood sign that the Agent or Office is doing something right. When we moved down here we originally looked at Cary so we did not know of this office and so we did not use them, but living here the past 18 months I can say when a friend wanted to move down here we recommended Spencer and it has worked out great. The Agents are knowledgable about the inventory in the area, and what the pluses and minuses are certain areas depending on what you are looking for. Our friend had a house in less then a week and with the help of The Spencer Team won a multiple contract negotiation and will soon be moving into her new home.

We could not be more pleased with our experience purchasing a house with Spencer Properties in…read moreRaleigh. We relocated/sold/purchased few homes over the years. We can say that Chianne Capel was our best ever buyer agent. She was so easy to communicate with every step of the way. We trusted her opinions and guidance. Chianne was always in contact and kept us up to date on where we were in the process. Amy Hackley, the team closing coordinator stayed on top of all transactions. It was a breeze buying house with this team. I would highly recommend Spencer Properties to anyone!

Selling my little condo in Carrboro was not an easy decision after living there for over 10 years,…read morebut when the time came to sell and move abroad, I couldn't have found a more wonderful realtor than Terri Turner at Weaver Street Realty in Carrboro. Terri is a truly amazing human being and a highly knowledgeable professional who helped me from A-Z with selling my home. Her team of stagers and photographers are also top-notch and worth every penny invested. If I were to ever be in the market again to sell or purchase a home in Chapel Hill or Carrboro or in the general vicinity, I would certainly return to Terri and her team. For anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Carrboro, I'd highly recommend talking to Terri Turner first. She made selling my home easy, with multiple offers coming in within a day.

alty? We had a greaWe had a great experience with Miranda…read moreParker as our agent. She had outstanding customer service while bring us to visit homes, and via phone or email for new homes she had found for us. Miranda's commitment to her client was unparallel to any other agent we had in the past while purchasing or selling our homes. Miranda also has a vast knowledge of the area, and can express how certain mortgages work, seeing some of the positive and negative issues, understand neighborhoods, direct you through the process of getting an inspector, and having dotting all your i's and crossing all your t's. We built a relationship with Miranda because she is a easy intelligent person open to communication. She is a good listener in every way, going above and beyond her duties. She always communicated to both of us how the process was going to work. The entire selling process was smooth, and comfortable. Miranda and her team are knowledgeable and kind. She is always quick to answer any questions and concerns. You can tell that Miranda is passionate about being a realtor by the way she treats her clients. I highly recommend her, thank you again Miranda! Laura

He will be the first to tell you while there are many reputable landowners, builders and developers out there you can also fall victim to a few bad apples that can make your homeowner purchase a nightmare experience. The good news is with some in depth research and proper guidance and representation like I had your experience can be a positive one like mine. A special thanks also to AnaKathryn who not only stays with you every step of the way during the buying process but she went above and beyond to ensure my family and I continued to be represented throughout our closing and into our new home in NC. Thank you Morton Bradbury for your professionalism, guidance, representation and for simply caring!

I've been following Chris' YouTube videos for years and knew that I wanted to move to the Triangle…read morewhen the time as right. It just took a while for the time to be right. But when it was, I felt prepared. Chris introduced me to Dakota and we quickly put together a list of about 7 (I think) houses to check out. The first day, I liked all 3, the second day I liked them all but the first 3 seemed better for me. I thought through the features of each and decided on the first one that we looked at. Dakota took my offer to the selling agent and my long search was done. I don't know all the things that Dakota did behind the scenes after the offer was accepted, I just know that I am in my new house in Cary now, and I love it. If any of my friends from California want to move here, I will be introducing them to Morton Bradbury.

Before signing ANYTHING with this company you have the right to know their definition of 'excellent…read moreservice'. Your agency agreement is with Long and Foster, the parent company, not the agent representing you. I was told by a Senior VP that I received an 'excellent' service where my agent was (unbeknownst to me) on provisional status and allowed to represent me without supervision. I was 'required' to sign a 6% agency agreement and if I didn't, Fonville/L&f could not submit my offer. I was not allowed to see the property disclosure statement until I signed this 6% agreement, and when I asked if there was anything I should know, my agent remained silent. (The home's defects were removed from the property disclosure, which she was well aware of). Finally, after making my offer, my agent altered my '10% down payment' to show '80% lvt', thus creating forgery in my name. This review will be up until they employ means to remove it, which is their response to factual reviews.

I can't stress enough~ how amazing DEBRA WYNNE is to work with!!!…read more Here is the story... I am an overly attached (ok - hovering) mom of a wonderful 25-year-old daughter. Last year my daughter decided she was ready to purchase her first home. She met Debra, and being the invasive over-protecting mom I am, I had to meet Debra too. My daughter has been working since the age of 16 and is not going to be Debra's biggest sale of the year... quite the contrary. I am positive she may be one of the smallest commissions. But at no point was Debra dismissive or pushy or anything short of exceptional. You see, 2 months into this, I transferred with my job to California and left my daughter to make one of the biggest life's decisions by herself. But she was not alone- Debra treated my daughter with the care that any person would want their loved ones to be treated. She educated her, she was patient with her, and she listened to what my daughter needed and wanted. My daughter needed to make every dollar count. She didn't have a lot of wiggle room. And Debra always treated her like she mattered. It took a while, because my daughter gave some tough parameters, but as a team - they did it!! My daughter got such a great place!! Great neighborhood, good distance to work and fun, within her budget, and the home just feels like it was meant to be. Because of COVID, I was able to come back and help her get settled in. And as the first few months have passed, there has not only been no buyer's remorse- there has been more and more happiness and validation that this was a great decision. We owe so much to Debra! As a mother, I have actually shed a few tears at how thankful I am to have Debra's kindness, keen knowledge and resounding integrity during this time for my daughter. Not only is Debra wonderful- but all the people in her network as well! The mortgage broker (shout out for Franco and Barb Multari) and the staff at Fonville Morisey (Janee- you rock!) all added to what a wonderful experience this has been. Would HIGHLY suggest any of their services!!!!
