Most realtors don't have the patience for clients like us, but she never wavered. When we finally found the perfect location for us, our 'dream home' came up on the market, and we had to move fast, being the 'seller's multiple offer market' we were in. She did whatever it took from start to finish to make sure we stayed on track. Her professionalism is unmatched and she took the time to respond to every text, email and phone call. She was thorough in all of the details and kept our home buying process on track without missing a beat. She explained each step in advance so we knew what to expect, from the home inspection to the appraisal to the closing. We cannot recommend her services enough!

We recently moved to Raleigh and used A Cole Realty to help us find a home and manage the process…read morewith the local Seller's and their Agent. We were extremely disappointed with the lack of follow-through and advocacy we received from our agents. They were generally seller-friendly on the pre-sale side, did not advocate for a smooth transition (getting us the proper information needed to transfer a custom home) and lacked the immediacy we needed to address unfinished or undisclosed items from the seller. Throughout the process, pre and post sale, it was "buyer beware" and "we don't do that in North Carolina" attitude on all of our very basic requests. The entire transaction was very much transactional, and lacked personal support and advocacy needed to make a smooth buying/relocation process. We would not recommend A Cole Realty for any home buying experience in Raleigh.

She made the impossible happen, lined up legal team, financing, inspections, contractors, and fought on our behalf to make sure we knew what we were getting and that the sellers made any issues right! Never before have I had a realtor so on top of their game! I'd recommend A. Cole Realty and Jessica Walker in a Heart Beat!

When speaking with a friend about our interest in moving to NC, she highly recommended we reach out…read moreto Cindy Reynolds. So we did. 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.

They quickly get to know you and what you're looking for. We used them as our buyers agent and they were patient and helpful in what is an extremely challenging market for buyers.

I could give 100 more examples like this. They move quick and will take care of you. Anyone complaining about the rate of commission hasn't worked with this group. They are worth well above what you will ever pay!

I recognize that this does not happen often, but I believe it demonstrates The Glenwood Agency's high commitment to success.

I am not a person who generally fills out online reviews of companies and services, especially ones…read moreof a negative tone, but I feel this is different. 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.

George Wilson recently listed a home in Cary that sold the first day. That's very common in Cary…read morehowever what the Seller doesn't know is that Mr Wilson DID NOT represent his Seller's best interests as he agreed to in the contract he signed with the Seller. I also viewed that house the same day/time as the buyer who ended up with the house. My Realtor tried to contact Mr Wilson by phone to let him know she was bringing an offer but he wouldn't return her calls. My offer to purchase that house was almost IDENTICAL to the one the Seller accepted with one big difference...my offer was substantially higher than the offer Mr Wilson presented. The Seller NEVER new about our BETTER offer since Mr Wilson chose in his zeal to make the quick sale NEVER bothered to call our Realtor back. Oh he finally contacted her the next day to let her know it was already pending and gave his lame excuses as to why he didn't return her call. I get it. The housing market is hot. Most houses sell quickly and offers can be plentiful. In this case I wasn't even get the opportunity submit my offer the same day. It is my opinion that Mr Wilson DID NOT represent his Sellers best interests because he didn't bother to see if the other offer was better...which it was...by $20+k. I would never list a property with a person or company who apparently lacks the integrity to do his best for the clients he's supposed to be representing. I'm sure the Sellers would not be happy if they knew all the details.

As a lender I get to deal with many real estate agents in the Triangle. Craig Rutman of Raleigh…read moreCary Realty is one of the best agents I have ever worked with. Craig pays attention to details and provides the highest level of service to his customers. He is a knowledgeable, experienced real estate professional that performs an thorough investigation of the local market to better advise his clients on a fair list or purchase price and he backs it up with facts from his research. I speak from experience as Craig has represented me in two home sales and represented my parents in the purchase of their home. Hire Craig and you will see why he has sold so many homes and represents a lot of buyers in the Raleigh/Cary/Apex area. He has earned my trust and respect and I recommend him highly.

On the selling side, Claire provided excellent guidance on staging and small touch-ups that made a big difference. Thanks to her strategy, our home sold in less than 24 hours after hitting the MLS. On the buying side, Julia was an absolute pleasure to work with--fun to tour homes with, highly knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest. She consistently looked out for our best interests, even steering us away from homes we liked when she identified potential red flags. Throughout the contract process, both Claire and Julia were incredibly communicative and made what can often be a stressful experience feel seamless and manageable. We are now happily settling in our new home and truly can't thank Claire and Julia enough for helping us get here. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home

After an initial…read morestrategy meeting-at which she was totally prepared-we decided on a price and I literally sat back and waited for the proceeds to arrive about 3 weeks later. I know the sale happened quickly not only through her marketing efforts but from her suggestions on how to prepare my home for showings. Kendall has great decorating ideas but doesn't stop there. She helped implement all her ideas by picking out replacement products. My home was modernized at an very acceptable price simply through her suggestions. And she does all the other things you expect from a broker but don't always receive: open communication, excellent response times, super negotiation skills and great market trend analysis. I 100% recommend Kendall because I know you will receive old fashioned customer service during the short timeframe it takes her to sell your home.

Katie is extremely knowledgeable about the home buying process, the local real estate market, and…read moreher warm, friendly personality made her a joy to work with. We were in the market for a mid-century fixer-upper in Raleigh. Katie provided valuable insight regarding purchasing and reviving an older home that made us feel confident in our decisions. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and would preview newly listed houses on our behalf. This helped us either get a head start on promising listings and avoid anything that was not a good fit. We ultimately purchased our forever home in the beautiful, Brookhaven neighborhood. Katie helped us negotiate a fair price and was even able to get us additional money from the seller to complete much needed repairs, including hooking the house up to city sewer and extensive basement waterproofing. During closing, Katie met multiple contractors on our behalf to collect quotes for this work. This saved us an immense amount of stress and time. Her support was unwavering. We were so pleased with our buying experience, we hired Katie to sell our home in Holly Spring and she knocked it out of the park. She helped us prep the house for the market, even enlisting the assistance of her wonderful husband, and suggested a listing price that would be most to our benefit. Our house sold after the first weekend of showings, after receiving 9 offers and well over asking price! Working with Katie was an all-around great experience. We have recommended her to all our friends and family.

If you are looking for a realtor, hire Katie now and you won't regret it.
