“I was looking for an agent to help me with buying a home in the state of North Carolina. I don't live there so I wanted to get a recommendation. I found Agent Pronto online and filled out some information and shortly after got a call from a realtor in North Carolina. Erica (the realtor) was great to work with and I recently closed on a home I wanted. Everything went smooth as possible!”

“I had a great experience with Ms. Tiffany Jones. She was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions regarding the sale. Because I was in another state, she was able to coordinate actions (repairs and upgrades) for me. I highly recommend Tiffany Jones for any future sale or project. This was truly a 5* experience.”

“I was having sleepless nights about selling my house. I reached out at 2am for support and immediately got feedback via text! I put my complete trust in the agent suggested. Sharon Maney was thorough, understanding and conscientious of my time and emotional state of disconnecting from the home I had raised my children in. We went on the market and under contract in 10 days! Needless to say, I really wasn't ready to move so quickly, but we had to and I don't regret a thing! There were bumps in the road but Sharon rode them out with me; I'm so grateful for the free service offered by Agent Pronto.”
