Scott Korbin

Scott Korbin has a fantastic team of friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful agents. We worked with Scott, Andrew, and Sara, and they all have an excellent understanding of the market and are happy to assist with all questions and concerns. They were more than generous with their time. He also has a substantial list of contractors and other professionals in his network to provide services such as repairs, painting, roofing, organization/packing, and moving at a reasonable cost. He did the negotiations to sell our house, and we ended up selling it for $5000 over the asking price in less than two weeks after putting it on the market.

Scott Korbin is an outstanding professional with highest integrity and commits himself to fully serving his clients. No wonder he achieves first class results. Scott is very smart. His educational background is impressive. He has accumulated an unusual breadth of expertise which serves his clients so well in buying and selling property. Ask him anything about the searching and buying process; he will provide perfect guidance. He is a strategic thinker and enjoys solving problems. He dedicates himself to maximizing his clients' experience and results through his understanding of architecture, market conditions, finance and budgeting, schedules, and of course the varying personalities of each local area. He is a strategic thinker and enjoys being a superb problem-solver. He will serve you well as a negotiator. He is highly successful and, importantly, fair. What further sets Scott apart is that he is so keenly attuned to his clients. He addresses preferences, stress, changing parameters, levels of inexperience, costs and even clients' sensitivities to a variety of random factors. He completely follows through, immediately. As an expert at understanding workmanship, potential property upgrades and repair options, he opens up unique possibilities that expand one's housing choices. When I stubbornly changed my mind about my house preferences, Scott was relentless in providing alternatives to make me delighted in my final property choice and price. And when I managed to get locked out of my new house during my first week there, he was my first and only phone call. I knew he could and would use his resourcefulness to solve my problem!

Scott and his team are everything you could ask for and more. They are responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and professional. I worked with them for over a year before closing on my home and during that time they helped me understand the entire process, took feedback to help select homes, and made the entire ordeal a breeze. When I went to look at a home they were quick to give me feedback and insight into the home including details I didn't even consider. I have been recommending Scott's service to all my friends looking for a home and would recommend him to anyone else as well.

I was referred to Scott and his team as one of the top agents in the Raleigh area. After an initial discussion to understand our needs, Scott and his associate Andrew helped show us numerous houses until we finally keyed in on the one that would become our home. We are a bit picky, and luckily, they are very patient and took the time to ensure we found what we were looking for and did not try to sell us on house that did not fit our criteria. Andrew in particular was instrumental in helping us win and close quickly on our home. We were in a multi-bidder situation facing off against 5 other buyers and Andrew (with Scott's guidance and oversight) helped craft an offer and strategy that was accepted within 8 hours of our offer and closed within 2 weeks. We are very happy in our new home. The process was smooth and took the amount of time necessary to find the house at the price and terms we were seeking. I have worked with real estate agents/broker before. This is the first time I have work with real estate professionals. I highly recommend Scott and his associate Andrew to anyone seeking professional assistance and anyone who is seeking a successful outcome to their real estate search.

Scott knows how to protect his clients in the “buyer beware” real estate market of North Carolina. Coming to NC from the AZ, we were new to this concept and Scott worked diligently to protect our Earnest Monies on a property that did not prove to be the same as what was advertised. He had a good legal team and staff behind him to make the transaction much more efficient and gave us great confidence in our transactions. I highly recommend Scott Korbin and Compass Realty for any real estate transaction in North Carolina.

My husband & I were referred to Scott Korbin after a family crisis. We lost our Syracuse home of 25 years to a huge fire. We were undecided on "retiring" to Cary, North Carolina where our son, daughter-in-law, & their 3 children live. The desire to relocate was reinforced by the fire. Our son said of Scott, "I've got the Guy!". Due to the geographical distance, we depended on Scott & his team to answer our countless questions, requests for floor plans, & nuances of buying in NC. He also helped us explore the different communities & lifestyles available. We had pretty firm ideas about our wants, needs & attributes of a community or house that were "deal-killers". Our initial interaction with Scott was a FaceTime call to understand his background & process while he explored our desires for the "perfect" home. That home requires a gourmet kitchen, 3-car garage, bigger than a postage-stamp sized lot & less than 30-minutes to our son's house. All of these needed to be accomplished within a very specific budget. Before we met Scott we spent several months exploring over 100 houses on-line while we awaited the insurance company to settle our dwelling claim. We were going to be "cash buyers" with those proceeds. It was frustrating seeing houses we liked, not be able to see them in person, and having them bought so quickly while we awaited the settlement. Scott worked diligently suggesting possible homes within the required radius from our son that we could view online. He carefully counseled us on negatives that he found on many of the houses. Finally, Nancy flew down on a Monday to be escorted by Scott & his team to the 7 finalists. On Friday, after touring several, she, our son & Scott entered what will become our "perfect" home in Fearrington Village, Pittsboro. We were the first viewing of the first day of the Open House. Our purchase offer was made on the spot. It was accepted that day. We consider Scott & his Team trusted advisors & friends.
