My name is Aaron Reel, Owner, Broker, and REALTOR® of Reel Realty, a top-rated real estate firm based in Kernersville, NC, proudly serving the Triad and surrounding communities. I specialize in helping home buyers and home sellers in Kernersville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and throughout North Carolina achieve their real estate goals with confidence. My goal is to be the #1 REALTOR® in Kernersville. I grew up in Kernersville, and my wife Katharine and I are raising our family here. As a lifelong local, I understand the neighborhoods, schools, and market trends that matter most to buyers and sellers in this area. Clients often find me when searching for the "best realtor in Kernersville," "how to sell my house fast in the Triad," or "trusted buyer's agent near me" -- and I take pride in being that trusted, local resource. My real estate journey began in 2014, shortly after Katharine and I purchased our first home. What started as a passion for house hunting, negotiations, and the due diligence process quickly turned into a career that has now helped over 400 families buy and sell homes. From first-time homebuyers to move-up sellers, new construction purchases, and relocations to the Triad, I provide clear guidance through every step -- from pricing and staging to offers, inspections, and closing costs. Over the years, I've grown from selling $2.3 million in my first year to $15 million in annual sales, and the launch of Reel Realty allowed me to build a client-first brokerage focused on relationships, results, and reputation. Today, clients describe me as approachable, knowledgeable, and dedicated to making real estate simple and stress-free. Whether you're searching "how to buy a house in Kernersville," "best agent to sell my home in the Triad," or "closing costs in Forsyth County," my mission is the same: to help you feel confident, cared for, and successful in your next move.

FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Start by getting pre-approved so you know exactly what you can afford. In competitive markets like Kernersville and the Triad, having financing in place makes your offer stronger. Work with a local REALTOR® who knows the neighborhoods, schools, and market trends. I guide buyers through every step — from touring homes to making competitive offers, negotiating repairs, and understanding closing costs — so the process feels clear and stress-free.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
First impressions matter. In Kernersville and the Triad, well-staged homes with great photos sell faster and for higher prices. Start by decluttering, making small repairs, and boosting curb appeal. Pricing is just as important — overpricing can cause your home to sit, while the right strategy attracts multiple offers. I provide a detailed market analysis, professional marketing, and guidance on what updates actually increase value so you sell quickly and with confidence.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
Over the years, I’ve helped more than 400 families across Kernersville and the Triad buy and sell homes. My clients include first-time buyers, move-up sellers, families relocating to the area, and homeowners downsizing. I also work with investors and clients building or purchasing new construction. Whether you’re selling a home in Winston-Salem, buying your first house in Kernersville, or moving up in Greensboro, I provide clear guidance tailored to your unique situation.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
A recent luxury transaction I’m especially proud of was helping a family relocate to the Triad and purchase a high-end home in Kernersville. They wanted privacy, custom features, and a smooth process while moving from out of state. We toured several luxury properties in Kernersville, Winston-Salem, and Greensboro before finding the perfect fit. With multiple offers on the table, I negotiated favorable terms that protected their interests while securing the home below list price. The clients were thrilled to settle into their new property, and I was honored to help them transition into the Kernersville luxury market with confidence.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
My real estate journey began in 2014, shortly after my wife Katharine and I purchased our first home in Kernersville. I realized how much I loved the process — from house hunting to negotiations and navigating due diligence. That passion quickly turned into a career built on helping families in Kernersville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and across the Triad buy and sell homes with confidence. What started with $2.3 million in sales my first year has grown into Reel Realty, a family-driven brokerage serving more than 400 clients and over $15 million in annual sales. For me, real estate has always been about combining local expertise with genuine care for the people I serve.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
Yes — I believe ongoing education is key to serving clients well. I earned my GRI (Graduate, REALTOR® Institute) designation, which provides advanced training in contracts, negotiations, and real estate law — giving my clients an edge in every transaction. I also hold an MBA with a focus on Marketing, which I use to create innovative strategies that help sellers showcase their homes and buyers gain a competitive advantage. This combination of real estate expertise and marketing knowledge allows me to provide clear guidance, strong negotiations, and creative marketing campaigns for clients in Kernersville and across the Triad.

Aaron was very helpful and on top of everything. He made buying our first home very easy and less stressful. Hes very patient and takes his time through tours. The first time he showed us a house I knew that he knew what he was talking about. He is very knowledgeable about what to look for when buying a home. I would definitely recommend Aaron to anyone.

Love Aaron! Have used him now to buy AND sell my homes and have loved working with him on both sides. Aaron is an expert at what he does and truly does his research on the market of interest. He is incredibly busy (with good reason) but makes each client feel like his priority. Highly recommend Aaron for buying and selling your home. He will be my realtor for life

My wife and I recently purchased a home, and we cannot thank Aaron enough for his incredible support throughout the entire process! From the very beginning, Aaron was patient and attentive, answering all our questions with clarity and care. He treated our home buying journey as if it were his own, which truly alleviated a lot of the stress we felt. Aaron's recommendations and advice were spot-on, and we had complete confidence in his expertise. His guidance made every step feel easy and straightforward, allowing us to focus on finding our dream home without any reservations or second guesses. If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond, we wholeheartedly recommend Aaron. He made our home buying experience not just successful, but enjoyable! Thank you, Aaron!
