James is personable, responsible, and experienced. He was generous with his time, particularly at the beginning of our search, and whenever we needed his help. He was courteous, professional, and friendly. When viewing homes, I appreciated how he was upfront with us on his thoughts, and was adept at reading our different reactions to houses. We appreciated his experience and familiarity with construction materials and costs, such as estimates on repairs. Even more important for us was his knowledge of the local market, particularly in the latter half of 2021 when we were searching - an intense seller's market. He was patient throughout our search and offers/negotiation, and guided us through the closing process. I will be recommending him to all of our friends - thank you James for all of your hard work and support!

I will always use James for any of my real estate needs in the future. He's got my business for life.

When I was ready to look for my first new home, I contacted Renaldo Dorsey of Berkshire Hathaway…read moreHome Services. I am really happy I did because, Renaldo is more than a Realtor; he cares! He cared that I selected the right home, living area, convenience to work, points of interest, shopping, and recreation. For example, he assisted me in finding a home where the amenities are amazing! He made sure that my interests were protected by ensuring that the home value was solid. Case and point, the house I bought was appraised for more than what I offered to pay, giving me instant equity. He is professional, humorous (when appropriate) and guided me through the entire process making it very easy. Even though I called him at all times of the day and night, he kept a positive attitude and did not complain. I encourage anyone looking for a home to contact Renaldo Dorsey of Berkshire Hathaway Home Service today!

Ryan helped me find and buy an amazing house, sight unseen, from across the country (my first…read morehouse!). He was helpful, knowledgeable, and appropriately skeptical as we were picking houses to bid on. He knew how to structure offers that were reasonable but strong, given our situation. He guided us through negotiations around inspections and shoring up loose legal ends, and he even helped us with a raw land opportunity that popped up halfway through our purchase. I'd absolutely work with Ryan again, but it went so well I have no reason to for quite some time.

Ryan is awesome! I highly recommend hiring him to be your real estate agent. When my husband and I…read morewere first looking to move to the area I did a quick search for real estate agents on Yelp, Ryan's paged looked great and since it said he responded to Yelp messages typically within an hour (because who wants to pick up a phone?!) I figured I would reach out to see if he had any last minute availability to show us to a few properties and he did. Although Ryan's office is based in Chapel Hill don't let that deter you, we were only looking in Raleigh. He knows all the ins and outs of the Raleigh neighborhoods and can get here quickly when you need him. We went under contract only two weeks after working with him. He uses Patrick with a local home inspection company to do the inspection and he did a thorough job. After the great inspection Ryan said the only thing left he could think of was a metal detector test of the property, since the house was older and there was a small chance of an underground oil tank. We did the test not thinking much of it and turns out there was an underground tank and it had extensively leaked. Ryan and his assistant Karen headed up making all the appointments and getting the right people out there to deal with the issue. Sadly the seller didn't want to really deal with the issue so away that contract went. Since Ryan knew what we were looking for was kind of niche he sent us a property here and there and we kept our eyes open as well. When a house popped up on the market on a Thursday night we text him if he could meet us there the next morning to take a look. He did and we feel in love. We put an offer in that day and started the process all over again. The second time around we worked with Karen a lot and she is great to work with as well. We successfully closed on this house and love where we ended up. An additional note since Ryan works in a group with a few other real estate agents if you need to see a house in a hurry and he isn't available, he will coordinate with someone in his office who is. Team work for the win!

I am sorry to have to write this review for Tony Hall and Associates, but I feel it's important that perspective clients be made aware of a situation that occurred but a few hours ago. I was ready to make an offer on a property being represented by Jaye Kreller, one of Tony Hall's realtors. My realtor from Caldwell Banker, was helping me to purchase a property with the sole intention of renting it out as an investment property. After looking at a few locations, I found one I was very interested in, and it was represented by Tony Hall and Associates. It all came down to whether or not I would be able to legally rent the property as per occupancy rates and rules set forth by the HOA. We told Ms Kreller that I was ready to make a very serious offer, but that I first needed to be assured that it could be rented. This was late Thursday. Ms Kreller made no attempt to find out, something, quite honestly, she should have already known from the day she signed this seller on to be her client. When it became apparent that Ms Kreller had no intentions of finding out what I needed to know, my realtor attempted to contact neighborhood's HOA directly for herself. Unfortunately, she was told they were already closed until Monday morning. This was late Friday. Without giving much thought as to her client's best intentions, and knowing someone else was already interested, Jaye Kreller never bothered to inform the seller that there was another seriously interested buyer. I viewed the property again on Saturday, and we once again told Jaye Kreller that we were going to make a full price offer as soon as we knew that the property could be rented out. Late Sunday afternoon, I received the news that the seller accepted an offer from another buyer, we never got the opportunity to make any offer. Why should all this matter? Because it is obvious that this realtor didn't have her client's best interest at heart. Whether we got into a bidding scenario with another potential buyer and the selling price increased a few thousand dollars more or not, it's obviously she couldn't care. But if it was your property being sold, that extra money would be pretty darn important. I find it hard to believe the seller wouldn't have waited an extra 18 hours and come Monday morning, find out if there were two prospective buyers (much preferred), or only one. What would you rather have? So today (Monday), I very calmly contacted Tony Hall himself to let him know of the situation. My initial thought was not to blame him, especially since how could he be aware of all the actions of his employees, except that when I explained what transpired, it quickly fell on deaf ears. He obviously doesn't care. Is this who you really want representing the sale of possibly your biggest asset? I'd think twice.

She was always attentive and made sure to spend time walking us through the ins-and-outs of the buying process. She always made sure we knew what was coming in the next stage of the process with frequent phone calls and proactively reached out to our sellers/builders to stay informed about how things were going over a period of 8 months. I appreciated how she also visited our house as it was being built took the time to send us videos/photos and updates. We were also grateful for savvy in negotiating with the builder - which we did not even know we could do. She helped us get a good deal on our house during a very crazy market. But most importantly, Candis is a wonderful person and a very caring realtor. I would recommend working with her and her team and will definitely reach out to her first if we ever decide to buy a house again.

We are settling into our new home, and Nata helped us by providing options to help us begin the process of "downsizing" when we needed to move into a home that was half the size. Nata then helped us sell our home with a contract in two days! She was able to get our home market ready in just three weeks and there were two times it snowed. Nata coordinated various workers, and she even installed cabinet pulls! When our house went on the market, it was a dreary Super Bowl weekend, and we had multiple offers. Nata is a pleasure to work with, and her concern and care for her clients cannot be surpassed. Thank you, Nata!
