    We did not knowRaleigh until we met to view a home we saw on Zillow. What a great surprise. We will be froends for life. Just a great agent. We know many agents. Raleigh is a cut above. We first viewed the home with Raleigh who let us know the seller had accepted a contingent offer. But she insisted we look anyway. Just in case. She stayed on top of the situation with the sellers agent gathering as much insight as possible. Suddenly the home was headed back to the market. She made sure to let the other agent know of our potential buyers interest until we could get back to town and see it again. Raleigh wanted us to be sure we wanted to take on the big property. Meeting our needs was her top priority. In the end the seller met us buyers and the rest is history. Ralieighs insights and professional persistence were key to us putting a deal together that satisfied both parties.

    As first-time homebuyers, we had such a great experience with Raleigh! From our first meeting, she was so easy to work with and really made the whole process feel less overwhelming. We loved that she listed to what we were looking for, offered her professional market knowledge, and was able to help us find the perfect home in the exact location we wanted and within our budget. When it came time to put in an offer, she walked us through every step! We couldn't recommend her enough!!

    Raleigh was a joy to work with. Her real estate knowledge went above and beyond with recommendations on carpet cleaning, plumbers, handy men, cleaners and Radon Remediation. She made it a whole lot easier for a Senior Citizen to downsize.

    I contacted Raleigh through the Zillow site and she was awesome. I wasn't familiar with the area I found the home that was right for me. She would respond early morning or later in the evening to answer my questions. She pushed the paperwork through the buying process and I was in my home as quickly as possible. Definitely recommend her for your real estate needs.
