Solid advice, quick sale, no headaches

I’ve worked with Jake on quite a few deals before, but always on the buying side. This was our first time working with him as a seller, and he did not disappoint. He knew exactly how and the perfect timing to market the property, and his advice on pricing was spot on. Once we went live, we had a couple offers, and by the next day we were under contract, over asking! We’re really grateful for Jake and how he handled everything. Wouldn’t think twice about recommending him or working with him again!

Unmatched knowledge and work ethic

Unmatched knowledge and work ethic

I’ve worked with Jake on a few deals now, and each one has been better than the last. His knowledge of the market and his ability to put a deal together really stands out. He’s always willing to put in the work to make things happen and consistently has the right answers. We were pretty particular about what we wanted as a family, and there were times we felt like settling just to move forward. Jake never let us do that. He kept encouraging us to stay patient, knowing the right place would come along and keeping our expectations in mind, even when it would’ve been easier for him to push an “easy sale.” In the end, we landed something even better than we originally hoped for, all within our budget. I’ve known Jake for over a decade, both personally and professionally, and he’s been consistent the entire time. His track record really does speak for itself!

We had a really great experience working with Jake during the sale of our home. From the beginning, his communication stood out. He kept us in the loop every step of the way and was always quick to respond when we had questions. What I appreciated most was how he handled the small details. Things we wouldn’t have even thought about, he was already on top of, which made the whole process feel so much smoother and less stressful. He was also honest with us throughout, which we truly valued. We always felt like we could trust his guidance and that he had our best interest in mind. Overall, he made what can be a stressful experience feel manageable, and we’re really grateful for his help. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Highly recommend Jake!

Our family cannot express enough gratitude toward Jake, a simple "thank you" will never suffice. From our first meeting, Jake was friendly, professional, personable, knowledgeable, patient, and respectful. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and our price range, reassuring us that the perfect property for our family would come along. Jake arrived at each showing fully prepared with all the necessary information to guide us through every step. He is well-informed about the changing market and provides factual insights, avoiding misleading information or false hope from both the buyer's and seller's perspectives. Whenever a challenge arose with a potential home, Jake was proactive in offering clear advice, presenting options for how to proceed, and providing a large database of resources or subcontractors to address any issues. Throughout the entire process, he consistently prioritized our best interests, and we cannot imagine having gone through this experience with anyone else as our realtor. We wholeheartedly recommend Jake to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. His dedication, expertise, and genuine care for his clients make him an exceptional realtor. Thank you, Jake, for helping us find our perfect home!

Cindy and Jake are real professionals. This is the third property they have sold for us and we could not be more pleased with them. They kept us well informed and helped us negotiate a great price on our home in Lake Toxaway!

There is no one better than Jake! Persistent, Kind, Professional & Effective

Our home was on the market for over 6 months when I asked Jake to be our realtor (he came as a strong recommendation from a friend). Man, did we hit the jackpot! We had a very unique home in a very unique community and he put in the work to get it out there to buyers. I’ve never known anyone as hard working and effective as Jake. He is a STELLAR communicator, and was always honest but positive. We never had to wonder what was going on which was a very different experience with the previous two realtors. We hit roadblock after roadblock with a potential buyer but Jake never stopped working to get us to the finish line. His network is vast and his relationships are strong… no one else could have (or would have) done what he did to close the deal. We are beyond grateful to have found him and if you want your house sold or looking to buy, do not go with anyone else. Wish I could give a thousand stars to Jake - he’s that good.

We had an experience trying to sell our home that no one should ever have. Jake stood by us all the way he provided guidance and mediated all the way to closing date. He was always available at anytime. Our home was under contract in less than a week. If you are looking to sell or buy please contact Jake. Trust me he will not disappoint you.

Jake makes things happen when others can't.  The best I've ever worked with.

Jake makes things happen when others can't. The best I've ever worked with.

Jake is the best. I've moved too many times in the past 12 years and have used a different realtor each time because I never felt like they fought hard enough or negotiated well enough to deserve the large amount of money they made. That is until I found Jake Raines. He will be my realtor from now on. I had a very difficult time selling my latest house due to various reasons and my former realtor gave up after a deal feel through. Jake stepped in and worked tirelessly to find just the right buyer, took advantage of his numerous connections and used the best strategy to get it done. He is an awesome negotiator and the hardest working realtor I've ever worked with. I was selling a double wide and trying to buy a nice house but by no means a mansion, so he wasn't set to make a killing off of helping me. But he worked like it was a million dollar deal regardless. He got me more money for my house than I would've previously gotten in the deal that previously fell through, and negotiated a great deal on the house the he helped me buy. He scheduled everything and lined everything up perfectly for us to be able to close on my old house and my new house simultaneously so we were able to move straight from one into the other. All of the signings and closing stuff were done on the same day at the same place. It couldn't have been more seamless. Of course we ran into some hiccups along the way. I was told by Jake that my situation was one of the hardest he had ever had to deal with. I never felt like it wasn't being taken care of, or nervous that it wasn't going to work out because his communication was constant and reassuring. He fought incredibly hard for me and treated me like a millionaire and I know he would for anyone else as well. Give Jake Raines a call. You will not be disappointed.
