“Working with the Sold By Starkey team was an incredible experience! They worked tirelessly from the moment we began our search to the day we closed on our new home. Kevin truly understood what we were looking for and consistently guided us in that direction until the Sold By Starkey team found the perfect fit for us. Their deep passion for what they do and the clients they serve is evident in every interaction. I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with such a trustworthy, patient, and compassionate team, and I would recommend them to any friend or family member looking to make a move!”

“Pamela began working with us and within 48 hrs we were under contract! She immediately translated our needs/requests into the ideal home and closed the deal promptly. Her communication, professionalism and ability to quickly understand what we were looking for were top notch. We relocated from NJ to NC and had very limited time to look at homes. Pamela narrowed out scope and effort and made the process simple for us. I Would recommend Pamela to anybody looking in the area and would use her again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Pamela! We are grateful!”

“Leslie Smolkowicz was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. I told her what my needs were, my price range and she hit the nail on the head ! She did all the legwork, and found me the perfect neighborhood, the perfect home! She was there EVERY step of the way, through the inspections, the paperwork... She was so knowledgeable, and professional. We were so in sync, I trusted her completely , and boy did she deliver! Attention to detail was an understatement for her , she's sharp as a tack lol, nothing gets past her. Thank you Leslie Smolkowicz, there aren't enough words to express my gratitude. You are the prime example of the phrase of having a "passion for what you do, and you will excel" it certainly shows . God Bless”

She explained things I didn’t fully understand in different ways, was on top of finding out the details of a home I would send/find, and was ready to go for any last minute things that came her way. This was a great experience for a first time home buyer. I never hesitated to reach out to her.”
