“I worked in Operations in the Home Building industry for more than 25 years and thus have known many real estate agents. Jeff's experience, knowledge, customer service and integrity are second to none! Jeff Lesley has represented me in three separate transactions: one as buyer and two as seller. I wholehearted reccommend him to everyone I know and would utilize no other agency in future real estate transactions.”

“Bill did an excellent job helping us sell my brother's house. He made recommendations of what to do and what not to do which were most helpful! After listing the house we had two showings with an offer on the second showing! Bill was most helpful during the negotiation process and we closed within six weeks! I would recommend Bill to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in this area! He's honest, trustworthy and just the BEST!”
“Michele was great! Not only was she extremely helpful with our search and purchase, but her experience and knowledge of the local housing market, inspections, fixtures, and comps made her assistance invaluable!”
“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!!”
“Mitzy has been such an eye opener and stress reliever. She took care of everything so quickly and diligently, she made us both feel so included and well informed. She is kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, patient and so much more! We had a rough experience and had to drop a real estate agent and called Century 21 and thank goodness we got Mitzy. She found us a house within 3 days of signing the documents to hire her. She explained what we could do to save us money but also got us the house. She made sure we were well informed on possibilities from her knowledge of the market. I cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Jennifer was very patient with selling our rental property and was of great help when we ran into situations and am sure we could not have handled them without her knowledge and understanding. She was very patient during the process and kept us encouraged during this time because of the stress involved. Thank you Jennifer for all you done and your expertise in handling the sale.”
“Stephanie reached out immediately after you connected her with my information. She is very knowledgeable about the area we were looking. She was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. She often provided information we hadn't even thought of in the land purchase process. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for land or a home in that region.”
“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!”
“Communicated well and kept me informed throughout the entire process.”
“Chaisty was very helpful to me every step of the process. She went above and beyond to support my needs. I would definitely recommend Chaisty in representing anyone who is looking to buy a home.”
“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!”
“Anthony was instrumental in assisting my family with the sale of my mother's home upon her death. He was informative and knowledgeable about our area and the challenges we were facing with the condiiton of the home. He was in line with our thoughts and pricing which proved to be beneficial to all. Anthony maintained constant communicatoins with us throughout the process and made this difficult endeavor as smooth as possible. It was a pleasure working with him, so much so that I made an immediate referral to a collegue and he sold their property within days as well. They also are very pleased. I would highly recommend working with Anthony for your needs and would definitely work with him again should the need arise.”
“Kat was great in helping us get our house sold quickly and at the price we hoped. She was quick to reply and very on top of everything.”
“We really enjoyed working with Sue. She listened to what we were looking for and was quick to respond to meet us wheb needed.”

“Kelly Bossman was wonderful to work with. She made herself available for any and all questions and very supportive even when I was 'clueless' about the whole process. Very thankful to have had her at my side!”
“Matt Hyduchak was exactly the agent for us. He listed our home for sale and I brought him on for the buying process of our new construction home. I like to be involved in the real estate process and Matt allowed me to do so with all the communication I needed. I had many suggestions and requests throughout the listing period and Matt took everything into consideration with professional expertise, knowledge and kindness. Selling houses during this time was difficult for everyone, so Matt went the extra mile to increase our showings and presence, all while encouraging our confidence in selling our home. Though we believe our new home is forever, we would definitely ask Matt to represent us again if we choose to sell.”
“Rebecca was available and patient in answering all our questions and walking us through the homebuying process, from beginning to end. Her knowledge and experience were the keys to our success.”
“She did everything i needed in an agent and more. A wonderful job.”
