"Three reasons I will 100% work with and recommend Brad again: This guy manages expectations better than any realtor I’ve ever worked with.

"Three reasons I will 100% work with and recommend Brad again: This guy manages expectations better than any realtor I’ve ever worked with. From the outset, Brad made it clear what kind of realtor he would be and what kind he wouldn’t be. He focused on making sure we were a good fit first. Sure, that led to a couple of kinda awkward “define the relationship” type conversations. But the result was that it was 100% clear how the process would work when Brad would be available, what was expected of my wife and me, and what was expected of Brad. He was responsible, respectful, and did every.single.thing he said he would do. This guy is compassionate in his service. He’s made his career an extension of his values, and that’s clear from the outset. The way he donates a portion of proceeds to a local charity he’s involved with; the way he wanted to learn about us, our lives, our story, our preferences, and our dreams for the house; the way he gave us a beautiful, handcrafted closing gift. I get that you’d want to work with someone who closes a ton of houses (and thus has a ton of experience). But it’s not a coincidence that you feel rushed and like a burden with those realtors. They’re often working with 10-12 clients at a time, each with round-the-clock concierge service. From start to finish, Brad gave us a personal touch and made us feel valued. Can’t put a price on that. (Here’s where I was going to say that Brad works super hard. While it’s true and he was available to us around the clock, I think it’s such a minor aspect of what made our experience great. He set boundaries (days that he was spending with family and couldn’t do showings), he managed expectations, and when he was on the clock, he was 100% on. He did all kinds of extra legwork for us, including drawing a sketch of a floor plan. When the time came to make an offer, it was completely natural because Brad had laid the groundwork and prepared us for it. So yes, hard work, but there’s a lot more to exceptional service than just answering your texts at 6 am."

"(2nd home-2020) The Sold by Starkey team was so helpful when it came to selling our first home and buying our next home. The Sold by Starkey team helped us buy our first home and it was such a great experience that it was a no-brainer to call Kevin and the Sold by Starkey team when we were thinking about making our next move. As Kevin began showing us houses on the market, Amanda was helping us get the house ready for market, she even staged it for us. The timing was tricky but that didn’t stop Kevin and the Sold by Starkey team from getting it done. We were looking at several different cities and dragging Kevin all around town, sometimes with our two young ones and he was so pleasant every single time, even when I asked a ton of questions. In the end, our first home went under contract in less than 48 hours and during the same time frame, we also went under contract on our new home. Throughout the process, Autumn and Kevin helped us with the paperwork and the timeline of everything. We closed on both houses successfully with no delays or issues. It was truly an amazing experience and we cannot recommend Kevin and the Sold by Starkey team enough, they are the complete package. (1st home-2015)Kevin and Amanda were amazing to work with when we bought our first home. We knew nothing about buying a house, except that we knew we wanted to own instead of rent. They helped with everything along the way, and if they could not help they offered suggestions on who could. The whole process was super smooth and I was pleasantly surprised because I heard so many horror stories about buying a home but with Kevin and his team, this was not the issue, it was actually a pleasant experience and I can't-wait to sell this home, and buy another with them."

"I can not recommend Susie highly enough. My husband and I were first-time home buyers looking for an older house that was walkable to a downtown area. We are pretty ambitious people and knew that whatever house we got with our tight budget was going to need a little (or a lot of) work. With every house we looked at, Susie gave us her honest opin..."

"I can not recommend Susie highly enough. My husband and I were first-time home buyers looking for an older house that was walkable to a downtown area. We are pretty ambitious people and knew that whatever house we got with our tight budget was going to need a little (or a lot of) work. With every house we looked at, Susie gave us her honest opinion of the work that would be necessary to restore it and whether or not she thought it was worth it. Since she lives in an old historic house, we truly trusted her judgment and recommendations. She has a keen eye for spotting a diamond in the rough. We ended up looking for 6 months at too many houses to count and even put an offer on a couple that was rejected. Susie was always there for us and brainstorming creative ideas for us to get an edge in an extremely competitive market. The first day we met Susie, she told us that when we liked a house, we were going to have to be ready to jump in head first with our best offer on the table. This was honestly the best advice we could have gotten having no idea what the market was like, especially for first-time home buyers. To make a long story short, we ended up in the perfect house for us. We can walk to coffee shops and breweries and couldn't be happier. I would be lying if I said that this process was easy, but we wouldn't have wanted to go through it with anyone else. Susie is an amazing realtor, person, and now friend. We loved working with her and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the Triangle."
