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!

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.

Three words to describe Masha - Best...Agent...Ever!…read more Seriously, she and April are everything you could want to help you through the process of buying and selling. They are incredibly knowledgeable on the Chapel Hill area real-estate market and trends, extremely organized and on-top of things. All of that you should expect from anyone. What sets Masha apart is how she goes beyond, whether it is her fantastic connections for everything you need, sense of humor, willingness to act as therapist but also call you on your BS, or willingness to do what needs to be done including the emergency cat sit! Masha's commitment doesn't stop when you've closed on your house, though - she's still there, whether it's to help with finding appliance manuals, commiserating over best-laid-plans, or to find that one email with a critical piece of information that you can't find.

With that in mind, Urban Durham Realty was the obvious choice and we are so happy with them, in general, and our agent, Marcelle Thomas, in particular. It was not our first time buying a house, or buying long distance, but it was the first time buying a house in NC, with its unique real estate customs, and Marcelle walked us through it all with patience and grace. She listened carefully to what we were looking for, even as we knew that finding the full package - our unicorn house, we called it - was going to be a long shot. We came up for what we thought would be the first of several weekends house hunting and by the end of that first day had found our new home. Marcelle guided us through the offer, the contract, and the few hiccups with the out-of-state closing and was very responsive whenever we had questions and made sure to keep us up on where things stood at all times. Marcelle was an absolute delight to work and tour houses with. Highly recommended.
