She is very professional and knowledgeable and helped us over every hurdle we encountered. We really appreciate how responsive she was to all our questions. And she was always there when we needed recommendations for things like a cleaning service after we moved out of our house; a moving company; a junk removal company when we were overwhelmed with cleaning out our garage. And every one of her recommendations was outstanding! We highly recommend Jennifer if anyone is looking for a real estate agent!

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. If you are looking for a buyer or seller agent who is honest, has integrity, and is very good at negotiating the deal, Jennifer Decourcy is the one!

When we decided to move back to Durham we knew we wanted to work with an agency that had strong…read moreconnections to the local community. 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.

I also recommended Susan to help my dad buy when he relocated to Durham, because she's the realtor we trust!

Courtney helped us determine the right fit by calling on her experience and expertise and being upfront about expectations from her and the real estate market. As we started our journey, we weren't sure exactly what we wanted. Our needs changed over time. Courtney was very patient and thoughtful concerning our changing situation. When the right house became available, Courtney helped us spring into action. She provided solid data so that we could make an educated and competitive offer. We were confident during our negotiations and agreed on a fair price, all with Courtney's help. Now we needed to sell our house quickly during the low season! Courtney contacted her network of professionals to get our house in top shape for showings. Our house was not at all prepared to show competitively. Yet, with Courtney's help, we got our house ready to go on the market in just 3 weeks (including Thanksgiving). It looked stunning. Accordingly, we received an offer the first day on the market, and seven above price offers in just two days. She calmly and meticulously walked us through the pros and cons of each offer, helped us select the right one, and also coordinate a backup offer just in case. Our family is so thankful for Courtney's helping hand. We're excited about our new home, and we have a little extra change in our pocket thanks to Courtney's stellar and reliable work. There were times throughout this process where it felt like we were Courtney's only clients. Of course, I know that isn't true, but it speaks to the level of service she provides to her clients. Courtney finds the right home at the right price.

I really was starting from scratch. There simply is not enough room to write about just how amazing it was working with Courtney. Courtney walked me through the entire process of buying in North Carolina, the extremely high housing demand in Durham, and what to expect. Courtney's vast knowledge of the housing market and ability to match up homes that would fit my needs was great. Courtney found my home on June 2, I closed June 29 and I am now enjoying my new home! I will be recommending Courtney all of my family members who will be moving to the Carolina's and anyone who is looking to sell or buy a home I would not have been able to find my home with out Courtney and I am truly grateful and lucky to have found her at Go Reality!

She's communicative, clear, fair, thoughtful, careful, thorough, supportive. I've been dreaming of living in Durham for years, and as a Durham native she had the local expertise and social awareness to help me find a great house in a great location in a difficult market.

Brooke is simply the best. We began our housing search over a year ago - pre-COVID - when we were…read morejust thinking of moving to Durham. And then the pandemic happened, the housing market fundamentally changed, and here we are. At every step of the way, Brooke was incredibly patient, taking us to see endless houses, offering her sage advice and insights on the market. Did I mention her patience? Our housing search took far, far longer than we anticipated and she said "we'll keep looking until we find exactly what you want." When we did finally find a house we liked, she had the best recommendations for home inspectors, closing attorneys, etc. and walked us through the process with attention and care. If you are looking for expert help with your housing search, and for someone who is deeply kind, attentive, resposnive, and empathic, Brooke should be the person you call.

It was overwhelming to find a realtor out-of-state, so I turned to a relative, a herself a retired…read morerealtor, and asked if she could help us vet the list. My relative steered us to Amy Shair for two reasons: First, because Amy holds the prestigious CRS designation, which can only be earned after rigorous training and many years in the field. And second, because when she called, Amy answered the phone herself each time, and was very responsive to calls, texts and emails. Amy has exceeded our expectations in every way. She walked us through each step, and was never impatient if we had to ask for clarification on an issue. She thoroughly knows the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill-Triangle area. Further, she has seen the region develop during her 30 years as a realtor, so she can give insights as to the history, and help predict trends for future resales. She created a list of a dozen homes in our price range to see what our preferences were. Never did we feel pressured to decide. When we settled on a home, she used trusted referrals to guide us to the end.
