“Moving from another state is a difficult process. Making a decision on a location for our new home was also difficult. Pamela Mundra was a pro! She had the local knowledge that we needed and was a pleasure to work with. She has helped our journey tremendously! We highly recommend her!”
“We originally connected with the Hines Team when we were looking to relocate to Smithfield, North Carolina. While that move didn’t end up being our long-term fit, nearly four years later when it came time to sell our home, there was no question about who we would call. From start to finish, Kirsten and Beth Hines handled everything—and did so with professionalism, precision, and care. The listing photos were beautiful, communication was clear and consistent, and our home was on the market and sold in under 60 days, which was incredibly impressive. Kirsten was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process, and Beth was a fierce advocate for us during negotiations, always making sure our best interests were protected. You truly feel supported every step of the way with this team. I cannot recommend the Hines Team enough. If you want results, strong advocacy, and a seamless experience, this is the team you want. You will not be disappointed.”
