Choosing a realtor is a very important choice. As a second time home buyer, I knew what I was looking for and had high standards for a professional who could really help my family and I find our dream home. We were relocating to the Raleigh area from Austin after only one visit to the city, so Colleen had her work cut out for her. Not only did she educate us on the pros/cons of each neighborhood, she expertly navigated things we wouldn't even imagine, such as traffic flows (beyond commutes), local weather implications, drainage, road widening and more. Colleen took an entire day to drive us around the entire area, from Wake Forest to Cary and Apex. She was patient and intuitive, and after we flew back to Austin she kept sending homes that would fit. We encountered a loss of income and adjusted our budget and Coleen never missed a beat. Then one day, Colleen FaceTimed us from a house we knew was "the one." We flew up to see it and she helped us negotiate and put us in touch with a fleet of professionals at a moments notice: inspectors, mortgage agents, insurance and more. We feel so confident we made a sound decision, and we view Colleen as a real advocate and trusted friend in such a complex process. Colleen is a true professional and KNOWS THIS BUSINESS and area so so well, but she also has an infectious positive and can-do attitude, making the whole process (dare I say)...fun!

I cannot say enough great things about Colleen. We purchased our first home with her and she was the BEST! Very patient as we viewed house after house. She does not sugar coat what she thinks about her house and let us know which houses were good/not worth the repairs. I fully recommend her!

Colleen and her team was excellent. We were moving in from out of state and we didn’t have much idea about the area. Colleen helped us with that and gave us some pointers with schools as well. I would highly recommend her. Her knowledge is in depth and the final quote for the house was absolutely spot on. We ended up getting a nice house for the right price.

Colleen did an incredible job. As a first time home buyer she exceeded our expectations in many ways. She was very insightful when it came to interior and exterior house knowledge, the area, research, and background expertise. She even crawled into the crawl space for us - need I say more! I would recommend Colleen for all types of homebuyers.

Many thanks to Colleen and her team in working alongside us to find the right home for our family. Being new to NC, Colleen has been a wealth of information in helping us navigate through the process of finding and purchasing a home. We have looked at many homes online and in person and Colleen is always quick to respond to an e-mail or text with information or setting up viewing appointments. * Knows the territory - Being unfamiliar with the geography, we were pointed to areas and towns that fit our needs. * Knows the market -Has a great website to keep track of homes we were interested in based on our criteria. * Wealth of Resources - We have been put in touch with many good people through Colleen to help us with the intricacies of home finding and purchasing. * Patient and understanding - Purchasing a home can be a process and take time, we were never rushed or pushed toward any decision. I always appreciate working with people who put my priorities above their own. Moving and purchasing a home is hard and stressful for anyone. Having someone who comes along side you and be there as a resource to help make good decisions to meet your needs is the best compliment I can give to Colleen. Because that's exactly what she did for our family. JJJ

We were relocating from another state and worked with Colleen to buy a home. She is a pleasure to work with. She took the time to find out our needs and wants and really listened. Colleen was in constant contact with updates and very quick to respond to any questions. Once we found a home she guided us through every step and anticipated all our needs. We were never left wondering where we were at in the process. She also took the time to tell us about the area and everything we would need once we got here so everything went very smoothly on moving day. She took a lot of stress out of relocating. We highly recommend Colleen.

Colleen is fantastic! I’ve worked with her several times with both selling and buying homes. I would not want to work with anyone else! She is always on top of every deadline and makes the process seem simple. Colleen is very responsive and professional. She knows the market and can help find a solution for any issues that might arise. I can’t imagine buying or selling a home without Colleen’s help! I can’t recommend Colleen highly enough - you won’t find a better Realtor anywhere!

She is so amazing to work. This is our first home so we had no clue about housing. She guided us thorough and helped us make good decisions. She made sure all our requirements met and sent us listing accordingly. I am glad we found her :)

Colleen is not just diligent, competent, and exceptional at what she does, but she is a phenomenal person to work with on either side of the buying or selling experience. She arranged and negotiated on my behalf the sale of two homes and the purchase of one, and has advised me above and beyond what could be considered an outstanding service level as a realtor. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again, as her knowledge of the Triangle region and beyond is extensive and her ability to recognize and mitigate potential and unexpected issues exceeds all possible expectations.

Colleen Lawrence is an exceptional realtor. We have now worked with her on 3 occasions to buy/sell our homes, and reccomended her to our parents who bought their home through her. Colleen has been present at almost every meeting and transaction and we sincerely trust her advice and negotiation skills. There is no question that Colleen and her team put customer service before sales. Our family highly reccomends Colleen Lawrence!
