Imagine the best realtor your mind can invent. David is that good and then some…read more He was referred to me by some fellow school counselors who said he took care of them like they were his own daughters. I wanted to buy a home, but David advised me the time wasn't right yet because I didn't seem rooted. He was right! Shortly after, I moved away. But I referred him to several friends, who have happily bought homes from him. My parents bought a home with him, sold a home with him, and now my mom is buying another. David has years of experience, and knows a ton about what to look for in a home. He'll steer you clear of homes if he notices major fixes in the near future. He'll drive you toward homes that really fit who you are. He's responsive, knowledgeable, delightful, and extremely helpful. He takes 'above and beyond' to another level. I could go on and on, but I'll stop here and just conclude that I cannot more highly recommend him.

We recently sold our house and used David Jenkins as our realtor. Some of our experiences with…read moreDavid were positive and some not so much; enough things bothered us that I felt the need to say something. As other reviews have stated, David has a good understanding of how to prepare a house for market, he responds quickly to emails, takes good home pictures, and is knowledgeable about NC Real Estate Laws and processes. We also had some negative experiences. David felt that our house needed some sheetrock and painting work done prior to listing. The painters that he recommended and hired were horrible to the point that we almost fired them. They never arrived on time and were consistently one to almost three hours late with no explanation given. The quality of their work was not good; they did a poor job fixing interior sheetrock cracks. They were also hired to re-tape, mud, and paint our garage ceiling. They left our garage in such a messy condition that it took us two days to clean-up. They also ruined some of our possessions. Pertaining to determining the listing price, I felt that I had a better understanding of the current real estate market. After doing some research I felt that we could ask for $20K over David's recommended list price, so we agreed to increase the price. David was not as up on current home valuations as he should have been in this rapidly changing market. You need to stay on top of these changes to get top dollar. David seemed to be more fixated on the number of offers a home would get rather than pricing the house to attract fewer but higher quality offers. With the current red hot market you are bound to get homebuyers who lost out on several bids. These and cash sales are the people who are driving offers up. In the end, we did get over the listing price with our house selling right away. I do feel that David did not stick up for us in a way that I had wanted and swept behavior problems that we had with the buyer under the rug. For example we had multiple instances of the buyer sending their packages to our house prior to taking possession at closing. He had an unwillingness to ask them to stop or to tell them what they were doing was inappropriate. There was plenty of time for their package to be delivered to their own address or they could have picked-up their order themselves. Our move required two moving trucks, one for boxes going to an apartment and another to storage. We did not need the hassle and aggravation of keeping track of someone else's possessions. It was hard enough to keep up with our own. Lastly, we received confusing emails from David which tip-toed around whether we should leave the house for the buyer's termite inspection during the week of closing. "You do not need to leave the house for the termite inspection, but you could step out if you would like to and it is usually a good idea for the sellers to leave. They will find out tomorrow morning when they might be able to get a termite inspector in there." Later, he tells us that we didn't need to leave. So, I did not understand why he didn't say this in the first place! For the above reasons our experience should have been better, and I would be reluctant to use David again or recommend him to others.

We found Graham on yelp and could not have been happier…read more We were first time home buyers and very leery on whom we wanted to help us find our first house. We wanted someone that would be willing to guide us when needed, but was also willing to stand up for us if and/or when problems arose. Graham went above and beyond, we couldn't have asked for anyone better. I think Graham is always working. No matter what time of day I contacted him he always responded immediately. He always had our best interests in mind and not once did we feel rushed or pressured into anything. I never felt like I didn't' know what was going on; the entire process was as smooth as can be. He was able to give use recommendations on everything we asked/needed but never pressured us into using them if we didn't want to. Even after closing he has kept in contact to ensure everything has been going well! If you need a realtor; look no further, you have found him!

I have now bought 2 houses and sold 1 with Graham and will definitely be using him for any future…read moretransactions. I have felt very comfortable with Graham and he was never in any way "pushy" like I saw with some other realtors I met. Graham is laid back, let me make my own decisions but laid out all the available options and helped guide me through each (and will offer great advice when asked), and was great to work with. He is very knowledgeable and was an awesome resource to have during the process. He's a great negotiator, extremely smart, and detail oriented. I'll absolutely be using him when I am ready to sell or buy again and I encourage you to do the same.

Living in North Raleigh we see Spencer Property signs throughout the area, which to me is always a…read moregood sign that the Agent or Office is doing something right. When we moved down here we originally looked at Cary so we did not know of this office and so we did not use them, but living here the past 18 months I can say when a friend wanted to move down here we recommended Spencer and it has worked out great. The Agents are knowledgable about the inventory in the area, and what the pluses and minuses are certain areas depending on what you are looking for. Our friend had a house in less then a week and with the help of The Spencer Team won a multiple contract negotiation and will soon be moving into her new home.

We can say that Chianne Capel was our best ever buyer agent. She was so easy to communicate with every step of the way. We trusted her opinions and guidance.

It was a breeze buying house with this team. I would highly recommend Spencer Properties to anyone!

Buying a home is a big investment and sometimes the process can be very stressful. 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.

Jerry with Carolina Property Access was the property manager for the house we rented for 2 years…read moreand after having such a great experience working with him, we knew he was the person we wanted to help us find and purchase our 1st home. From start to finish Jerry was extremely professional, thorough and responded immediately anytime we had questions or wanted to view a home. He made the process easy and enjoyable, which was no small task in the middle of a pandemic, but he stayed on top of everything to make sure it got to the finish line. All around great person and great realtor that I would highly recommend to anyone with a rental property or looking to buy/sell. Thanks for all your hard work Jerry, we couldn't be happier with our home!

I stuck with this property management company for five years, paying them every month. The one time…read moreI actually needed them, they completely abandoned me. My tenant had an unauthorized cat in my home which is an undeniable lease violation. Professional cleaners found cat urine on the baseboards and cat hair all over the house. They provided a written letter confirming it. I already know what MozeZen is going to say. They'll claim there were no damages which is irrelevant. The $400 pet fee isn't for damages, it's for simply having a pet in the unit. They'll probably also try to hide behind the fact that the tenant was allowed to have service animals. Doesn't matter. By North Carolina law, a cat cannot be a service animal. Instead of doing their job, they refused to collect the fee and told me to go chase the tenant myself. This whole situation reminded me of insurance. You pay them for years, then when you actually need them, they're useless. The broker in charge, who made this decision, wouldn't even speak to me. I was told she had more important things to do. So, imagine you have an issue with a property management company you've been paying for 5 years and the decision maker won't even take 10 minutes out of their day to have a discussion with you. Five years of loyalty for that disrespect? If you just want a basic property management company and never have any tenant issues, they may be okay. But the moment something actually goes wrong, you're on your own. Save yourself the headache and go with someone else.

This is by far the worst and most unprofessional property management company I have ever dealt…read morewith. Due to an oversight by their Accounting Team and Ashlee Malone, I received a threatening email saying they will be taking legal action against me. My house flooded twice and 0 sympathy was given by their team. I am now out a $4,000 rug and they are threatening legal action over a $600 security deposit that they sent twice that they clearly saw had been deposited. This feels like a scam as they saw it was deposited. I've never dealt with a more unprofessional and inconsiderate team than MoveZen. I hope and pray nobody else has to deal with them or go through a similar experience I have gone through.

The emails they sent to communicate with us were clear and concise. It cost nothing to have a conversation with them about putting your house on the market so go ahead they are worth it!

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.

They will go out of their way to provide you an even better service than you would expect from a realtor. I live in Austin, TX and was only able to come to Raleigh between Christmas and New Year's Eve; They were extremely accommodating despite the Holliday season considering their own time off. They carefully selected the best vendors in the area for all my inspections, providing me useful information about my future-purchase, all of it in plain English for someone as agnostic about home structural and technical details as I am. They will send you frequent updates, are always enthusiastic and not afraid to walk across a muddy backyard or climb into the attic to snap a picture for you (and they did all those things for me) I highly recommend Sinnett Realty Group for your real estate projects, and more!
