Brad at Hill Barbour Realty was absolutely amazing. We had our house on the market twice. The first…read moretime we used a different realtor. It sat for months and we ended up renting it out just to get out of the house. When it didn't sell, Brad contacted me through Facebook (we knew each other in high school) and asked me what our plans were. He asked me to contact him when we were ready to sell again. When the rental contract was up, we contacted him, and from the time our house hit the market to being under contract was three weeks! Once we went under contract, Brad was with us every step of the way, which was no small feat with us being 250 miles away! He dealt with every detail of the contract, inspection, and final closing, giving us a worry-free experience in selling! You'll be glad you chose them.

My husband, Erik, and I were unsure how the process of home buying would be during COVID-19. With…read moreSusan's partnership, it turned out to be an incredibly positive experience. Susan was very responsive to calls, emails, and questions during the entire process even after we bought our home. She is empathetic, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and consistently demonstrated that she always had our best interests. As a result, we found and are now owners of our dream home in E. Durham. As a point of reference, we've worked with another agent in the past and feel that Susan was a much better fit for us. We recently recommended her to friends of ours who are interested in buying their first home. We wouldn't do that (or write this review) if we didn't think she was excellent at what she does.

She was our staunch advocate as we moved through the buying process - providing great advice and ensuring that all of our concerns and requests were communicated effectively to the sellers.

I recommend Susan as the gold standard to any home buyer or seller.

Hands down the best realty company in the area is A2Z Realty.  I mean, Joel and his staff will do…read moreanything they can to help you out.  They are Johnny-on-the-spot with repairs and/or preventative maintenance.   The place is always well mowed and groomed.  And it is a beautiful location.

They are trustworthy, competent, fair, and good at getting tenants who pay their rent and keep the place in good shape.

I have had an excellent experience with Acorn and Oak property Management. The agent I worked with,…read moreLisa Rietzes, was pleasant, easy to work with, and clear about the steps I needed to take to rent. When I walked into my new kitchen, there was a gift box there. It contained a roll of toilet paper, a small Hammer, a bottle of water, and several other necessities. It was so thoughtful because those are the kind of things you never can get access to when you move in. At first. Kudos to Lisa and the company!

We worked with Acorn + Oak for roughly 3 years managing our rental property, and unfortunately our…read moreexperience steadily declined over time due to poor communication, constant turnover in points of contact, and lack of follow-through. The final issue that led us to terminate management involved landscaping/tree work that perfectly summarized the broader problems we experienced throughout the relationship. We requested quotes for landscaping work in mid-March and did not receive them until we followed up weeks later. When the quote finally arrived, the pricing didn't add up correctly and had to be clarified after additional follow-up. We approved what was described as trimming and cleanup work, but communication throughout the process remained inconsistent. Scheduled work dates were missed, partial work was completed without updates, equipment was left at the property, and both we and the tenant repeatedly had to ask for status updates. Most concerning, a large holly/privacy barrier on the property was cut back far beyond what was communicated in the approved scope of work. We were later told after the fact that the vendor believed mildew/mold treatment required such an aggressive cutback, but that was never explained to us before the work was performed. Had that been communicated upfront, we would have had the opportunity to discuss options and understand the actual scope of work being approved. The larger issue, though, was not just the landscaping situation itself -- it was the ongoing lack of proactive communication and oversight. Over the course of our time with Acorn + Oak, we went through multiple points of contact and consistently found ourselves needing to follow up for updates, quotes, scheduling information, and basic responses. Even our tenant expressed frustration with delays and communication issues. For a company charging a 10% management fee, we expected significantly better service, coordination, and accountability. Instead, the experience often created more stress and work for us rather than less. The Broker in Charge ultimately allowed us to terminate our agreement early, and we are now self-managing the property while evaluating better long-term options. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I think it's important for prospective owners to understand that communication and consistency were major issues in our experience.

I really could not have picked a better agent to help sell my home than Janina. Throughout the…read moreprocess she was patient, understanding, helpful, and compassionate. She also clearly knew her stuff and was incredibly knowledgeable about the process, explaining every step along the way. I was selling my home after moving out of state, and so I needed to have confidence it was being left in good hands. Janina not only made the process smooth and stress free with the sale, but she also offered to help donate things if I couldn't find a home for them before moving (I was on a tight timeframe). Further, she did a great job staging my home to look amazing. And lastly, she went above and beyond by swinging by the property frequently to clear a frozen condensation pipe so the furnace would keep running while the house was empty. If you're stressed with picking the right realtor to help you buy or sell a home, stop worrying about it and go with Janina. You're not going to find someone more incredible at what they do, and you'll get a personal touch and expertise that makes the whole process a breeze.

Let me preface this with saying that my 78 year old mom was the client. When I say that mouth is rude, it is an understatement, hence I'm the only family member of hers still in her life. Janina was patient and understanding with my mom and I appreciate that. Janina was amazing, from start to finish, executing the seamless sell & purchase, times to perfection. She has partners and contacts that do everything! Inspections, repairs, lawyers, mounting a tv, cleaning the house, packing & moving and plenty more! I'm up Next and will soon be selling & buying (divorce). I'm easier to deal with than my mom, so I'm sure it will go seamlessly. Trust me, you only need Janina.

I've worked with other realtors before, but Gerald has been by far the most pleasant agent to work with! He is patient, responsible, knowledgeable, diligent, and very responsive to me as a client. I highly recommend working with Gerald, as he and his team will help you find the best equity and they work very fast to meet aggressive deadlines. This was especially important in our most recent purchase where we needed to clinch a sale against competing bids on a home that ended up selling within the same day that it was posted! Thereafter, Gerald was most diligent to help guide me to close on the home within 25 days. This was the fastest closing that I have ever been able to achieve since I have been buying homes since 2011! This is a big shout-out to Gerald and his team: "Thanks for all your hard work!" -Hank&Stella-
