I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Mikaela from EXIT Realty to help me sell my home. She truly went above and beyond to make the entire process a positive and smooth experience, and the home sold quickly, which was a huge relief. Since I was not local for the sale, her proactive support and willingness to assist in so many ways were especially invaluable. Mikaela handled details I couldn’t be there for and ensured everything stayed on track. What really stood out was Mikaela’s genuine care for both sides of the transaction. She consistently looked for ways to improve the buyer’s experience as well, even suggesting thoughtful small but meaningful touches like having the grass cut right before closing so the buyer wouldn’t have extra worries when taking possession. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and sincere dedication made what could have been a stressful situation feel reassuring and well-managed. I’m extremely grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend Mikaela at EXIT Realty to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.
He did a great job working with me and my wife buying a new home he made it so easy and never left us out of anything when ever they call hem he call us immediately thank you so much ❤️
We started the "operation" of renovation of the house almost a year ago. The activity was monitored and coordinated by Jodi Bakst very efficient and professional. As we do not live in the USA we could not do it without Jodi. During this period, we needed to take many decisions, Jodi was always available and giving us the right advice. We highly recommend Jodi as a real estate agent!!
Jodi knows the market, its participants, and how to get the job done. She’s an excellent guide, sounding board, and truth teller. We’ve bought one house with Jodi and sold two and would definitely work with her if there is a next time!
This was our second time working with Kit to find a home that could serve both as our primary residence and an investment property, and once again, she exceeded our expectations. We truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Our friends and family all know how much we value working with Kit — her insight, guidance, and advocacy make such a difference. She has a unique ability to make what can feel like an overwhelming process both manageable and even enjoyable. Thanks to her expertise, we found the perfect home to fit our needs. Kit is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always accessible. Whether by call or text, she was quick to respond to simple questions and thoughtful when we needed more in-depth guidance. We especially appreciate her deep understanding of the market and the various areas throughout Raleigh and Durham. Working with Kit is always a positive experience, and we are so grateful to have her on our side.
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.
When we first decided to move, our very first call was to Shane Kirk, who sold us our first home nine years ago. From start to finish, Shane handled every detail with exceptional care and professionalism, guiding us through the entire process while keeping us calm, confident, and well-informed. He is someone we trust implicitly, and we truly cannot imagine purchasing a home or property without him in our corner.
Janice Rosenberg has sold and helped me buy three residential properties. She and her associate Gina are outstanding at communication, attention to detail, customer satisfaction, and 100% at getting the job done. Whether I was the seller or the buyer, which was the case over two decades, I have been treated with respect and genuine care that my real estate needs are met. You just can't go wrong with Legacy Reality Partners.
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.
I was on a mission to find a home in the Durham area with a short time frame. Thanks to Maya, I found something that suited all of my needs. She offered excellent advice and made the buying process less stressful.
