“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!”
