I've been having a little trouble with the grant process so I reached out to NACA services for assistance. I will do what it takes to get myself in the position to purchase my dream home. I would love to pass the torch to my son and he to his and so forth. Generational wealth is very important. I learned a lot in the session with Mr. Dyer. NACA will work with me for as long as it takes to improve my financial situation to get me NACA qualified. The next session in in April and I will be ready. Im so excited!

Hector Fontanez and Dante Jackson are the main reasons I was able to close on my house…read more Once I was approved and found my house - a person to person sale took over 4 months. They even gave me a closing date but kept requesting for information 3 weeks after the supposed close date. I highly recommend you to be proactive, keep a paper trail and make sure you are on your mortgage counselors/mortgage processors. There is no consideration, no sense of urgency and a lack of communication. You might even have to reach out via email or EVEN CALL 7+ times before they even respond. This experience was only difficult because the people involved were not doing what they were supposed to do in a timely manner. This process is ONLY worth it, because no one is offering the rate that NACA does. But, prepare for the headache, the stress & the "I already sent this to you 2 weeks ago, if there was something wrong why would you wait to communicate it on a Thursday before a holiday weekend." LOL

Raleigh Mortgage Group single handedly saved our homebuying process, and my biggest regret is not…read morestarting with them. We first connected with Alayna Weaver from Raleigh Mortgage Group during the preapproval process, while we were comparing rates among lenders. We eventually got a rate too good to pass up from a large commercial bank and went with them, thanking RMG for their help. The loan process from this bank ended up being a complete disaster, where problems arose last minute over things we should have been told weeks earlier. With closing coming up, and our trust in the bank fully broken after a week of fruitless back-and-forth, we decided to get our mortgage elsewhere, but it needed to be fast. I reconnected with Alayna, who gave us a sanity check by confirming the bank was being ridiculous, and snapped into action to help us. Within 36 hours, we had a fantastic rate in hand and were set up with a mortgage processor. Each time we ran into a problem, Alayna - who was readily available via text, phone, and email - as well as others at RMG (Hayley Jackson) and the processing team (Corry O'Neill and Kristina Polson) provided alternate choices or simply solved the problem. We closed on time and have our house, and we have them to thank. There are two morals here: 1. Commercial banks won't lift a finger to help you originate a mortgage, so only apply with them if you feel lucky. 2. If you need a mortgage in North Carolina, call Raleigh Mortgage Group.

It's hard to describe our experience with Quentin without sounding like an infomercial, but we…read moretruly were that impressed. We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, reassuring and patient person--but not in a boring way! Quentin is both immensely entertaining and exceptionally professional. We really felt valued. Moreover, the analysis packet Quentin provided when we went to put in an offer was tremendous! He helped us navigate a competitive seller's market and land a great place that still feels like a deal on a tight timeline. And during the buying process, his guidance and communication were outstanding. So like I said, infomercial. But, do yourself a favor and believe the hype: 12/10.

So, I've been writing this review in my head since we first spoke with Quentin on the phone way…read moreback in September, before we even lived in the area. It's taken me a month past closing to finally sit down and do it because I read all of the reviews here and thought, what's left to say that hasn't been already? Here's my attempt. Silly, naive, first time buyer me thought, "What difference does it make what realtor you get?" HA! After being reduced to tears and headaches of frustration with one realtor, I reached out to Quentin. He gave us 20 minutes of his time while on vacation and apologized for taking 13 minutes to send us an e-mail when he promised it'd take 5. This is not an exaggeration. We finally met Q in October- once again- BEFORE we lived in the Triangle for him to show us houses while we visiting/interviewing. We were already sold on working with him, but were relieved to find that our senses of humor and style of banter aligned perfectly (or, at the very least, that he pretended to laugh along with us). It would be a few months before we finally got "the one," but having someone to enjoy the process with made a huge difference for us. A surprise first pregnancy for us sort of shifted our needs as far as space goes, and Quentin didn't miss a beat helping us sort out our search parameters. Even still, we were all over the place in terms of location and budget. Durham? Raleigh? Cary? We saw multiple homes in all of these areas. Q is seasoned enough to stand by patiently and let newbies figure things out. This was our hugest, most enormous, insanely large purchase in our 27-year-old lives and it took time to get ready for it. Like, you know, 8 months or so. We were also looking during the holiday/winter slump, when supply was low but demand was high. All in all, we put offers on 7 different homes before getting one accepted on fabulous #8. Our lack of success early on had nothing to do with Quentin's skill, prowess, charm, or ability. The market was just cray, y'all. We got beat by cash offers, people willing to close 3+ months out from accepting an offer, and people willing to WAY overpay. Don't worry- he is efficient, quick, and will bend over backwards to make sure you're making the right move for YOU. I firmly believe that our losses led us to the perfect house for us. I'm serious. Come see it. When it comes to the nitty gritty of offer writing and negotiating, there is no one better than this guy. He was able to secure us some extras at closing that made a big difference for us (and our diaper fund). It can be terrifying to sign the papers on a purchase of this magnitude, but never once did I question that we were in the best of hands. He was on our side, on our team, fighting for us nonstop until we found our home. He's a busy guy but always made us feel like he had time for us. I'm not sure if you learned anything new that you didn't know from the countless other 5-star reviews listed here, but as I was typing this I realized that the beauty of our experience is that it led us to OUR first home, where we'll be making (and have already made) the best of memories- including bringing our son into it next month. Whether you're newbies like us or experienced pros, I have no reservations in recommending Mr. Dane for your real estate needs in the Triangle. He is simply the best. And his dogs are cute too.

Merry Ann walked us through everything as if she was an old friend. We looked at three houses IRL, probably about 100 on the computer and ended up getting our dream house. Our house was the first and only offer we put in and in a market like this I know that had EVERYTHING to do with her expertise. She prepped us for what to expect, how to be competitive and we could not be happier with our purchase! Even during the stressful inspections and closing, she supported us every step of the way.

We were lucky to meet Jennifer at an open house while trying to find the right home for us. Jen made the home-buying process fun and a great experience for us. She was extremely knowledgeable and let us know what to expect in buying or selling procedures in current house marketing. She sent us her "hand-pick" house listing daily after she knew our must-have. We like to check on the neighborhood first to ensure we like the surrounding area and environment. When showing the house, Jen was incredibly thorough in looking for all potential trouble spots in the homes we looked at. And she shared her ideas to help us visualize our future home. She is good at that. We found out she has a staging business too. We make a great team together !! Jen always made herself available whenever we needed her. Jen made the home-buying process a great experience for us, smooth and easy. We recommend Jennifer to everyone, even people out of state. Jen can help you with virtual tours before you come to NC based on what we saw. She always ensures buyers know every detail they need to know about.
