“When I was finally ready to sell, Kat came to my house and showed me ways to better show my house and discussed painting some bedrooms to a neutral color. She gave me names of services to assist in my sale, such as a house cleaner, a painter, a pressure washer, a junk man, a roofer to repair a gutter and a countertop company. After painting, Kat had a photographer come over to take pictures to post. She communicated with other agents after showings, especially if I had a question about their buyer's comment. She worked with me on two offers we were agreement to turn down. She helped me understood a lot in the process. Kat worked with an agent on a counter offer which sold my house.”

“We can't speak highly enough of Jill. We met her when we were in the very early stages of exploring NC before we even knew if we were serious about moving. We walked into her open house and she was so sweet and knowledgeable about the area. We kept in contact for several months and then my husband ended up getting a job in Charlotte. We were looking for houses while still living in CA which has an added level of stress, but she made everything so easy. She's not pushy but gives her opinion and it's so easy to see that she wants you to be in best house for you. This was also our first time buying a house and she made me a feel so comfortable with the whole process. We loved working with her and highly, highly recommend her!”

“Lin was absolutely amazing!! I've sold several properties with other agents, and sold the last two with Lin. I can only say that I wish I'd found her sooner! I live out of state and she made the process seamless. She took on these listings (each with its own issues) and she sold both properties at (and above) asking price. She is incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, and very pleasant to work with! I strongly recommend working with Lin, have already recommended her to family, and will definitely list with her again. Thank you so much, Lin!!”

“Our agent, Michael Diniz, was professional and extremely knowledgeable. Simply put, he's the best agent we've worked with. Selling our home had its challenges, but his persistence and urgency allowed our home to sell sooner than expected. I've used a few agents in the past, however, Michael is the only agent I'd refer to friends and family.”
