And my husband and I have had the pleasure of working with her for a short SIX weeks. My husband and I came to NC (with our baby) for his business trip. After we reached out to Cindy on our second day into our trip and expressed our interest in seeing homes in and around Raleigh, she set up a number of viewings in less than 24 hours. Although we didn't see a home that we wanted while on that trip, Cindy sent us listings and photos daily until we found the one. My husband went back to NC to see that home (and many others), while Cindy generously offered to pick him up and drop him off at his hotel. After hurricane Matthew, Cindy kindly offered to visit the house for us to make sure there were no signs of damage. We quickly submitted an offer, then a counter, then entered escrow. We closed in NINE days!! And from our first trip to NC, to the day we closed escrow, it was a very painless SIX weeks!! Living in CA, corresponding with Cindy at all hours, phone calls, text messages, video calls (FaceTime), and countless emails...we have been nothing short of impressed and completely pleased with the incredible service and attention to detail that Cindy has provided us. She is very patient, kind, and seriously has made our first time home buying experience a breeze!! I can't say enough good things about her! We are SO thankful to have had her on our side through this whole process to ensure a quick and painless transition. Thank you Cindy!!

Mixed experience with them buying a house. Realtor was decent, always answering my questions, and…read moretrying to work on my schedule. Patient with me as well (I worked with him for over a year, before we found what we wanted). Minor issue, but its all with the commission. I was often looking far from my realtor's home office, often wished they'd hand me off to more local agents, with direct knowledge on the neighborhood. Finance team SUCKS! Didnt run my numbers at all, just took them at face value, and submitted them which came back with some issues. When I tried to have them corrected, they didnt want to, forcing me to screw up my closing date and miss out on an awesome rate. For a "senior" staff member, Ive seen new hires care more. One last bit. They will try to push a home warranty on you with a company called HSA. This whole scheme is full of kickbacks, half qualified contractors, and incompetent agents to assist with issues. While it might save you some money, its probably not worth it.

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!

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.

Our family is working with a general contractor, and has been attempting to work with Scalice for now going on almost 3 months. They must be very busy. Good for them - anyone can work with expectations once they are set. We were quoted 6-8 weeks before someone could come out for the survey. We waited. They completed the work and we submitted what we needed to the county for our permit but the county requested more detail as the detail was missing for our pool area. We have now been contacting this company daily to get a confirmation on when they can make the requested update and have been unable to get a response. So now we have already paid them and are at their mercy to have a minimum expectation of customer service. It may take a while and they may deliver on one service but don't expect to be treated as an appreciated customer. You must hope they did everything right the first time because once they are done, there's no full accountability to their customers if clarifications or updates are needed.

But if you are…read morefortunate to find a real estate agent who is not only knowledgeable of the process, but approaches the effort required as if he or she was making the investment for him or herself, that helps in alleviating the stress from the buyer. I say this because I had direct experience with real estate agent Jerry Johnson (who now owns a brokerage) when we moved into the Raleigh area nearly 5yr ago and was looking to buy our home. We were looking to find and close on a home within a month. Given the low inventory and with many buyers on the market at that time, it almost seemed improbable. But with Jerry on our side, we made it happen. With his experience and desire for success in what he does, Jerry always reminded us about the next step and what we needed to have ready while we were still working on satisfying the requirements of the current step. He wanted to be sure there was no obstacle as we navigated from one process to the next given the time constraint. We followed his direction and successfully closed on our home within a month. We are enjoying the home he helped us buy and are glad we chose him as our real estate agent. Jerry has helped many other families buy their homes and I don't expect their experiences to be anything other than very pleasant. He is a nice and trusted person to work with. So, if you are looking for an agent who will work the hardest for you and not rush you into making a quick buying decision, then Jerry is your person. Because of his success as a real estate agent, he is now operating his own real estate business. So, give him a call when you are ready to buy that home. Your experience will be just as good as mine if not better.

Thanks for all your hard work Jerry, we couldn't be happier with our home!

A top priority was keeping my children in their schools, but the challenge was finding a single-family home in a low-inventory market within my price range that also met my family's needs. A friend recommended that I connect with Shanti who had also helped her purchase her home. Throughout the process, Shanti was super responsive and provided sound, reliable advice. Her sharp negotiating skills gave me a competitive advantage in a very fast-paced, highly desirable local market. Shanti kept me focused on a few occasions when I was ready to throw in the towel after losing a few bids in knockout, drag-out "fight with all you've got" bidding wars. (To give you a sense of the challenging market, there was one instance where bids came in tens of thousands over asking price sight unseen!) I'm so glad Shanti kept me determined because we were able to locate a great home for my family in the school district I wanted. It was such a pleasure to work with Shanti and I would recommend her to my dearest family and friends without hesitation.

This was my first time selling a house and she definitely guided the way with the entire process. She gave me a seller checklist of things that need to be done to get it showing ready. She recommended that I start decluttering my house and to put a lot of my stuff in a storage unit to get it ready for pictures and showings. I definitely trust her opinion on a lot of things. It made a huge difference getting my house decluttered. She even came to stage my house herself! This was probably the best my house has ever looked in the 6 years that I lived there. When we started getting offers, I went with Kim's guidance on whether or not to accept or reject them since they were all coming in lower than our listing price. I'm so glad she suggested that I find a buyer who would let me rent back while I was waiting on my new house to be completed. It definitely took the stress away of trying to rent a temporary place and have to move my stuff multiple times. When I was ready to go look at potential future houses, Kim gladly scheduled times right away with the builders. For the walkthroughs, Kim has such an amazing eye for detail and really helped flag things that needed to be fixed or touched up. I'm so lucky to have such an amazing realtor. Highly recommend to anyone who's looking to buy or sell!!
