Success Stories

Tamika K.

I've known Cynthia for 12 years, 3 transactions. I was introduced to her from a work colleague back in 2008 buying my first home. She and her team (especially financial guru, Tyler Priest) are the best! Cynthia is knowledgeable, professional, caring, thoughtful, matter of fact and sets realistic expectations. When I was ready to buy a larger home in 2019, I reached out to her and let her know that my husband and I were ready to start the process. It didn't take long we started in early June and closed in early July. She really knows her stuff, and that goes a long way! Her successful experience speaks for itself so there was no question that when I was ready to sell our townhouse, she was ready to step in listed my townhouse and within 24 hours, had multiple offers, and we were under contract! Who does that during a pandemic? Mrs. Cynthia Parker! You will not be disappointed!

Buyer | Seller

Sharon is one of the smartest and hardest workers that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She was consistently one of the top performers in our region and never ceased to surprise me with her research and knowledge of the industry. She dove head first into her work, and I could always count on her, regardless of the situation. Her clients showed her an incredible amount of respect, which was very well deserved. Anyone would be ahead of the game if Sharon were on their team.

The Mills

We really cannot get over how dedicated you are as our agent, and how likable you are as a person. Looking forward to having you and the family over for dinner sometime this summer.

Etheridge A. & Rymers S.

Thank you for being the utmost professional and for guiding us through all of the details of selling our home. We know we can count on you the next time we're ready to buy or sell!

Pujals V.

I am happy to say that Stacey represented me in both the buy and sell side! She helped me achieve my buy/sell goals and I will be forever grateful to her for that. She coordinated both closings and worked through all the many details of the process. She is awesome, great to work with and I highly recommend her!

Santos V.

I want to thank you for all your help these past few months. Without your due diligence, hard work, late nights, and early mornings we wouldn’t have been able to find our dream home. Excellent work! I will refer you to my friends, family, and colleagues who need real estate assistance in the future. Thank you for saving us from a lot of heartache. You negotiated so we wouldn't have to worry about the drainage situation. Thank you again for all your care and attention. You’re the best!

The Wilsons

Records were constantly being broken in the Triangle real estate market, so when it came time to put in our offer we were nervous and had no idea what to expect. Keeley walked us through our options and presented different paths for consideration. As we settled on our offer, we felt very confident we were competitive while not overreaching. Keeley had us right where we needed to be and our offer was accepted! We have been in our house a little over eight months now and not a day goes by that my husband and I don’t say to each other how much we love our house. It is everything we wished for and more and for that we have Keeley to thank! We can’t recommend her enough!

Buyer | Seller

Jenn made the selling process simple, including taking the time to consult on staging and walking through what we could expect.

Buyer

Michelle Jacobs (aka Wonder Woman) is an exceptional broker. As first-time buyers, in a seller’s market, she somehow managed to make us feel empowered, educated, comfortable, and confident when looking at houses. We learned so much from her before we even signed a contract with her. Choosing Michelle to be our agent was the single most important decision we made during the buying process. There was never any pressure to make a decision but there was always support, wisdom, and insight. She was patient with our learning curve and intuitively knew when to give us space/time. We found her to be well-informed on the nuances of the various neighborhoods in downtown Raleigh and if there was any topic that she couldn’t immediately answer, she knew multiple attorneys, contractors, builders, or plumbers that she could consult. In addition to all of this, she was always prepared with detailed information from the MLS, snacks, hand sanitizer and water. I cannot explain just how much of a pleasure it was working with Michelle. Not only did we find exactly what we were looking for in a fairly stress-free process, but we had fun doing it too. We have already referred friends and family to her and yes they chose her and yes, they have also already found homes that they love. Thank you, Michelle!"

Roberts. D.

Christine was wonderful from the first second! Throughout the entire home-buying process she was clear, communicative, and responsive. She provided me with a home-buying experience that was unique to my needs. All of her advice was bang on the money and she was right about everything. She has deep local knowledge of Raleigh and explains the home-buying process to first-timers very clearly. I felt very supported by Christine and I am very happy we worked together to purchase my new home! 10/10 strongly recommend!

Buyer

Christine was recommended to us by a mutual friend, and we are so glad they did! Christine has been not only been extremely quick with responses, but also super flexible with meeting us at the drop of a hat, and in a variety of different locations. Her personality is super fun and you instantly feel comfortable and like you are in good hands. When we had stupid questions, she didn’t make us feel like they were so. Christine advocated for us consistently throughout the process, making us think of important things we would not have thought of, and pointing out the good and bad of each home so we wouldn’t be disappointed. Overall we loved her fun and friendly personality and felt like we were in excellent hands throughout the whole process. And a bonus is that we got our dream home at the end!

Buyer

If we could give Beatriz a 10 -star review we would definitely do it. Beatriz Negrin is an absolutely amazing real estate agent. I found her on Instagram while I was still in Hawaii getting ready for our move. From the moment I spoke to Beatriz on the phone I knew she was my agent. She was able to answer all of our questions within few hours. We had all the information about the house we were interested right away. Even though we found a house we liked, she found us an even better one and it had everything we asked for. Being an ocean away, different time zone, taking care of selling our house in Hawaii, and packing all our stuff wasn’t easy, but we were lucky to have Beatriz who made the whole purchase process so smooth. We didn’t have to stress about buying the house at all. She sent us a lot of photos and videos of the house, videos of the inspection, and weekly progress on the build. We absolutely loved working with Beatriz. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and kind and she takes care of everything. We highly recommend Beatriz to anyone who wants to sell or buy a house. You won’t be disappointed! We are very grateful for everything she did for our family! Thank you Beatriz

Seller

Stacey is a rockstar! She is bright and motivated and works tirelessly to get the job done. She had the home cleaned and ready to show in a flash, and she had the house sold in two weeks! Stacey is excellent with the client and extremely knowledgeable about the industry. She made the process a great experience!

Chambrier D.

Andrew is a pleasure to work with - especially when the process of buying a home can be extremely stressful. His knowledge of the market, home construction/renovations, and how to make a deal happen were wonderful assets to have in a realtor. He was instrumental in helping us buy our dream home.

Chris & Erin

The first thing that we would like to say is how very fortunate we are to have happened upon the absolute best real estate Broker agent in North Carolina as far as we're concerned. If it was not for her hard work and dedication we would not be happy new homeowners. A dear friend of ours had recommended that we give Beatriz a call and we did. Once we did she got right on it and searched for a new home build that we would be able to call our own. Beatriz has an incredibly busy schedule in her life as well as being such a sought after broker agent. Yet she still manages to find time to be the most extraordinary broker agent with impeccable Hands-On dedication to her lucky clients like us and it shows. But she didn't stop there she also made sure that she looked out for our best interest every step of the way including following through with our inspection and with our appraisal and letting us know what we needed to do next moving forward. She was always available whenever we had a question that we needed answered and she always went the extra mile for us. Because of her we recently closed on our very first home we are happy we got the right home at the price that we were looking for in the exact location we wanted. We highly recommend Beatriz 110 million percent. We are grateful and thankful to her for making our home buying dreams come true.

Buyer

If only everyone could have the opportunity to work with Wendy Preble! Throughout the home selling process, Wendy was proactive, attentive, professional, and a true pleasure to work with. Our home was sold through a relocation service – and what could have been a draining, complicated process was made easy and stress-free with Wendy’s help. Wendy leveraged a wealth of data and robust experience to help us sell our home at the right time and for the best price possible. When we had questions, Wendy patiently took the time to understand the reasoning behind our questions and fully explain the options and potential outcomes of our decisions. We appreciated the respectful manner in which Wendy spoke about and worked with potential buyers – she followed ethical and moral guidelines throughout the process. We look forward to working with Wendy again and we highly recommend her services to anyone who is buying or selling a home!

Buyer & Seller

The thing we liked most about working with Christine was her honesty and straightforward approach. We always felt like she gave us great advice with both selling and purchasing our new home. She really helped us process what our best options were and was patient with us after we kept looking at so many homes!

Heath R.

Andrew (Ervin) helped me buy my first house. He made it seem so easy. As soon as we saw the house, we fell in love with it. There were already several offers when we viewed it. We had to get an offer on the same day. We listened to all of Andrew's advice and we got that house! We found out later there were 19 offers! I hear other people's horror stories and just makes me appreciate his help and advice more and more. I will always recommend Andrew to everyone who asks.

Buyer

I would gladly recommend Stacey to serve as your Realtor for all of your real estate needs. Stacey is a very loyal, dedicated, and caring person and always goes above and beyond what is expected of her.

Buyer

Tonya was always available to meet anywhere at any time. She was very responsive whenever I needed anything. She was very helpful in staging my home to maximize its appeal to potential buyers.

Jim R.

I have had the pleasure of doing business with Cynthia on both the buy and sell side of several Real Estate transactions. Allow me to say she is the consummate professional. Whether buying or selling she comes to the meeting well-prepared with facts and data to support her recommendations for an equitable market price that makes sense. As a seller, she brings meticulous research on the true value of your home with comparisons of all other sales in the area, along with pluses and minuses of each as they relate to your home. I have never had a Realtor come to a potential listing so well prepared. Yet at the same time she will take the time to listen to your side of the story about your home to help come to a realistic market price. As a buyer, she again takes the time to listen to your particular needs and wants to prepare a list of potential homes that fit your parameters without trying to upsell beyond your means as many Realtors are prone to do. Her intimate knowledge of the local market means less time searching for the 'Perfect' home. Anyone looking to buy or sell Real Estate in the Raleigh market should consider themselves privileged to have Cynthia working on their behalf.

Buyer

Andrew was wonderful to work with in selling my townhouse and buying a new single-family home. He was very knowledgeable and responsive which is crucial with the current housing market. Andrew was extremely professional and patient throughout the entire process, even with the numerous homes I requested to see. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

Natalie W.

If I were to describe Ann, I would say she is one of the most knowledgeable, responsive, professional agents I have ever worked with. She got me what I wanted for my house and made excellent recommendations during the negotiation process. She coached the buyer’s agent on proper procedure and ensured their offer came with a pre-qualification letter, which they did not originally submit. She assisted with coordinating repairs from the home inspection process. She was supportive and present as someone who was representing me during a very stressful time. I cannot find a single bit of negative constructive feedback to offer. She truly earned every star in every category!

Mary H.

As first-time home buyers, my husband and I needed an agent we could trust. We met Meg through a mutual friend, and are so glad we did. From the beginning to the very end, Meg and her team were patient with us. They helped us understand the home buying process. Her expertise is unparalleled and she worked so hard to help us find our home. We are so grateful for her guidance. She is a great agent, but an even better person. She’s honest, fair and hardworking. Her team is top notch and incredibly professional. We could not be more pleased

Lynne C.

I’ve bought and sold a total of 14 houses and I have never had a Realtor as good as Beatriz. She’s absolutely amazing. The entire process was as easy and stress-free as could be. She knows the Raleigh area market incredibly well, always had the comps ready before we looked at any home, got fast answers to my questions, and was fabulous at negotiating. I highly recommend her.

Mucaria J.

We were very fortunate to have found Sharon. Her knowledge of the area, understanding what we were looking for and professionalism were traits we immediately noticed. She was attentive and responsive each step of the way and being a first time home buyer, she communicated next steps, answered all questions and went above and beyond to assist us with hiccups along the way. We cannot thank Sharon enough for her help and professionalism throughout this process. She is definitely someone you would want alongside you as you buy your home!

Buyer

When we began our search for a home in N.C. due to our retirement and relocation from RI, I had a question about a home listed online. Beatriz, who was the listing agent, responded immediately. That was about a year before our actual time to move. She stuck with us for over a year and helped us find our N.C. home. There aren’t enough words to express what a fantastic Realtor Beatriz is! We certainly were very fortunate to have connected with her. We couldn’t have been happier! She goes the extra mile and is a Dynamo!

Cherie S.

You have built an amazing organization! Very proud of what you are doing for people each and every day.

Noelle H.

You will not find a realtor who cares about her clients more than Meg. She is honest and caring and will work tirelessly to help you find exactly what you are looking for. She knows the market inside and out and explains the entire process of buying a home in a way that makes it less overwhelming and easier to understand. Meg recently helped us buy our first home and from start to finish the process could not have been more smooth. Meg was always was one step ahead, telling us what to expect next and giving us her honest, well-informed advice on how to handle situations along the way. I cannot recommend Meg enough to anyone looking for a real estate agent in this area. She is truly the best and you will not be disappointed.

Buyer & Seller

We had an amazing and professional experience with Ann! We needed a quick sell/buy and her knowledge of our area was extremely helpful and calming throughout the process. I would highly recommend her, and we will definitely use her again. 2 thumbs up service!

Cary NC.

Sharon helped us buy our first home. She was very responsive and had ideas for homes to show us frequently. While we were viewing homes, she was helpful in pointing out important information that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise or weren’t yet taking into account. Sharon is down to earth, and we felt no pressure from her at any point in the process.

Nichole M.

We relocated to Raleigh from out of state and had the pleasure of working with Ann to help us find a place to live. She was amazing. Super timely, friendly, and accommodating. Ann scheduled viewings for us when we came in from out of state, luck have it there just so happened to be a hurricane that day, and we still had a great experience- shared some laughs while we trudged through the rain and wind! Based on our tastes, she was easily able to figure out/weed out any houses that weren't up to our standards. In the end, we found the perfect place and look forward to working with her again in the future!

Alli M.

Meg made buying a home for the first time in the state of N.C. a breeze for us! She really listened to our tastes, styles, and preferences. When it came to making the purchase, she had our best interest at heart. We can’t thank her enough!

Gina & Brian

Cynthia is the rare combination of impeccable integrity and utter competence packaged with kindness and efficiency. Too many people don't realize what an enormous difference it makes to have a true professional represent you buying/selling a home. Cynthia is at the top of the trade and always looks out for you. She is a fantastic negotiator while being fair and reasonable. She spent a lot of time helping us beyond what others have done in my experience. She also works with top professionals in all the related buying activities. It was a pleasure to work with her and it is a mistake for you not to do the same.

Buyer

We were first and last time home buyers. We were looking for the right house that would carry us through the years and have the ability to house our parents as they got older as well. We found a new construction home and Frank guided us right through everything. We had one huge problem with the appraisal and Frank stepped right in contacting the builder and keeping in contact with all parties constantly! Frank is very detail-oriented and will give you his opinion on a home and how it will fit into your life situation. This is one attribute I'm very glad Frank has, the ability to see how things will develop as time goes on. We are very, very, happy with how everything turned out and would recommend Frank without a second thought!

Buyer

Annie was amazing! Her experience with Rightsizing Raleigh helped us prepare our house for the market, giving our potential buyers the best first impression. With her guidance and marketing, we received a full-price offer on our home the first day on the market. Additionally, Annie understood exactly what we wanted in our next home and helped us find the perfect fit for our family. Both transactions were professionally handled and went smoothly without a hitch!

Buyer

We bought our home in Raleigh in December 2016 and Frank was wonderful to work with. He was extremely responsive and put us at ease as first-time buyers. We encountered one minor problem with the home following due diligence that we were worried would continue to be an issue at least a month past move-in, but Frank made sure the seller had everything taken care of before we closed. We will definitely be using Frank to purchase our next home in Raleigh and to list our existing home.

Buyer

Great to work with and spent a lot of time showing us houses. We provided her a list of what we were looking for and she went to work. She was working extremely hard on the repairs with the selling agent to ensure everything was right.

Tom R.

We are so happy that we were referred to Frank to broker the purchase of our house when we decided to relocate to Wake County. Frank is incredibly knowledgeable about a wide range of topics. The insight he shared with us helped to shape our perspective and avoid problematic properties. He was very responsive to our requests and took the time to listen and understand our priorities. When we toured houses together he was exceptionally well organized and it made the process smooth and efficient. The time we spent working with Frank was always productive and enjoyable. We are very happy to have found him!

Colin H.

For our first home-buying process, Christine was wonderful. We had a ton of questions, and she was patient and thorough in answering them all. She listens very well to what you're looking for and doesn't try and suggest things you're not. On top of that, while she's very cognizant of what your top budget might be, she went out of her way to show us several places well under our budget that fit our goals-it really felt like she wasn't trying to steer us towards things that would maximize her commission. We took her advice a lot, on things such as suggested offer amounts, contractor recommendations, and just general neighborhood expectations and she really never steered us wrong. It's definitely very daunting to think about buying our next house before we've moved into our first one, but I have no doubt we'll use her again if we decide to ever sell and find someplace new.

Buyer

My wife and I cannot recommend Frank and his firm enough. He helped us purchase our first home in the challenging buyer's market which is downtown Raleigh. He helped us find and purchase our dream house quickly, below appraisal value (sweet) and he assembled a great team between mortgage officer and inspections so that we could close in under a month! He knows downtown Raleigh very well and we would recommend him to anyone. We never felt like we were being sold on a house and it was great to have him in our corner throughout the process. He made our first home purchase a wonderful experience, which we know isn't necessarily the case for all.

Meredith T.

We have used Meg now to purchase two homes in the Triangle area and would highly recommend her to anyone. Meg did all she could to be at every home as soon as we contacted her. She promptly scheduled FaceTime walk-thru's, as we lived out of state, and very thoroughly described each home and pointed out all the items she knew were on our pro/con's list. On a personal level, Meg is very easy to work with and has many great relationships with industry professionals which worked to our advantage. If you're looking to buy a home in this difficult market, Meg is an asset. She patiently guides you through buyers frenzy while also working hard to get you your dream home.

Judge D.

Tonya helped me buy a house. She was fantastic. She is a tough negotiator and was able to bargain for a price that was very favorable for me. She held her ground on defects disclosed by the inspection and sellers made the repairs at a substantial cost to them. She was very proactive and helped me find the perfect house. I recommend her highly to anyone buying or selling.

Buyer & Seller

Tonya was a real pleasure to work with. She is knowledgeable about the market, both availability and values. She showed a high degree of professionalism while exuding friendliness and an understanding of customers' needs. She was most helpful in preparing my home for inspection by prospective buyers. It was sold in record time!

Buyer & Seller

We bought and sold our house with Tonya. She and her agency were with us every step of the way. She never rested and through her diligence, I saved $2200 on Window replacements. We had everything that could happen (through no fault of hers) and still, she kept at it and we ended up with more money than expected and held on to our original purchase despite several delays. She was great and helped us negotiate well, and if looking in 27610 definitely knows the area. I would use her again in a heartbeat.

Buyer & Seller

We are repeat customers of Frank DeRonja. Both times he sold our home and helped us to find a new one that met the specific needs of our family. Frank is patient, knowledgeable, and an overall great agent to work with.

Rebecca H.

Andrew helped me buy my first house. He made it seem so easy. As soon as we saw the house, we fell in love with it. There were already several offers when we viewed it. We had to get an offer in the same day. We listened to all of Andrew's advice and we got that house! We found out later there were 19 offers. I hear other people's horror stories and just makes me appreciate his help and advice more and more. I will always recommend Andrew to everyone who asks.

Kristy J.

Christine is extremely responsive and has a great knowledge of areas within Raleigh's Beltline (ITB), including the near east side neighborhoods that are experiencing a rapid influx of young residents and families. I trusted her with advice and opinions while she respected my needs which included "being able to walk to a grocery store." When I had a question, she would typically respond within hours. I am glad that we worked with Christine and would gladly give a recommendation. For those thinking about utilizing homebuyer's assistance programs, Christine was a great mediator and willing to learn on the fly. I was utilizing both city and state assistance for eligible first-time homeowners (Raleigh Citywide Homeownership Program and North Carolina down payment assistance) to my benefit which was a turnoff to some sellers who didn't trust my good financial status despite my qualifying to take advantage of those opportunities. Christine was fantastic at working with the seller to mediate and soften concerns. Although the program guidelines made the process a little trickier, she was a quick learner and eager to work within the program constraints when shopping for a home, through the inspections process, as well as through the internal benchmarks required by those programs along the way. The ITB house is perfect for my urban pioneering" lifestyle which includes 15 bicycles and 8 chickens. If you're a young professional or urban couple moving to Raleigh, please talk to Christine Lewis!

Chad B.

Andrew was amazing to work with during the home-buying process. With him being a Raleigh native, my wife and I leaned on his expertise and guidance through our first-time home-buyers experience. As volatile as the Raleigh housing market is, he was always quick to respond to any call or text regarding information on a property. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone I know!

Meredith S.

Ann was absolutely wonderful! She listened to my needs and showed me dozens of homes before eventually finding the perfect townhome for me. I was out of town when she found this home and she face timed me so I could see the space! She helped me consider future market value of the homes I viewed, investment opportunities, repairs I would need to complete, and shared countless contacts for those repairs. I completely trusted her guidance and advice! She has stayed in touch with me since the closing process and I'll definitely use her again when I sell and buy my next home!
