ZillowVERIFIEDWe happily recommend Tammy! Because we live out of state, we didnt know where to start when we made the decision to sell our inherited Nags Head condo. Fortunately, we found Tammy online and she guided us through the entire process. The condo needed some cosmetic updates and she put us in contact with a friendly, skilled handyman who had the condo ready in no time and at a reasonable cost. Tammy then staged it for us and had a professional photographer come in. The place looked amazing! The listing was only on the market for four days before we had numerous offers and a signed contract. Thank you Tammy, for guiding us through a difficult situation and making the entire process manageable, even from a distance!

ZillowVERIFIEDI've dealt with 8 homes sales throughout my life and Tammy is at the very top of the list of realtors l've dealt with. She sold our home in just a few days and over asking price with multiple offers. Her knowledge of the area is unmatched by anyone. From the moment we interview her (among others) she was well prepared and we knew on the spot she would get the job done. Our sale was stress free because of Tammy's expertise in negotiations. She is the most professional and top notch realtor I've met. I highly recommend you give her a call!

ZillowVERIFIEDShe was nothing short of incredible. She came highly recommended by numerous people to include builders, persons who used her in the past and other real estate agents. I am sure she did a lot of things in this process that I was not aware of but she was extremely thorough and knowledgeable throughout this process.

Typical Realtor performance. Step 1. Convince the Seller the market is in a downturn (our market was hot and getting hotter weekly) Step 2. Price the property lower than what the market tells you, with the caveat that you may get multiple offers instead of pricing a little higher and negotiating down if necessary, Step 3. Accept the first offer that will get Her to the bank quicker with the least amount of work on Her part. In our case we had a full price, all cash offer in two hours of the posting. Another property in our building sold two weeks later for $25,000 more. In other words I think she cost me $25K.
Sorry, you feel this way. At the time you were the highest sale in the community. You interviewed multiple agents and I recommended the highest list price of any of them. I staged your property, provided professional photos and a 3-D virtual tour to generate excitement from day one and it worked. You closed for $25,000 MORE than any property had previously sold for in the development. Once you sold you became the most recent comp and allowed the other condo to support a higher value. I wish you all the best in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDTammy did an outstanding job on selling my beach condo that I owned for 21 years. It was sold and closed on in under 60 days. Her staging of my property was absolutely gorgeous. No additional cost for this service. Her 3d tour was stunning. I was very impressed in how she was always available day or night to answer any questions that I had. No leaving messages and waiting for a call back. She is so friendly and her knowledge of the business is at the top. She was very proactive and it was a true pleasure in having her for my real estate agent. I could not imagine this whole process being any easier, thanks to Tammy. You will be very satisfied and I strongly recommend her for any of your real estate needs. i will always be grateful for finding her. Yes, 5 stars every step of the way. Look no further, Tammy is the real estate agent for you.

ZillowVERIFIEDShe's highly professional, knows her craft, hard working, creative, persistent and level headed. She's very very good. HIGHLY recommend. She sold a house for us in a slow market with great video and website and excellent negotiating skills with a somewhat prickly buyer. She got great/ best prices for us on property we sold in a hot market. You cannot go wrong.

ZillowVERIFIEDaEURoeHow do I love Tammy Russell? Let me count the ways...aEUR?1. When we first decided to move from the Outer Banks to Durham, NC to be closer to our daughter and her family, we didnt know any realtors there but we did know Tammy Russell and, luckily, she was in my list of contacts on my phone. Called Tammy from Durham and in a matter of minutes she got back to us with the name of a Keller Williams realtor in Durham who went the distance to help us find just what we wanted in Durham.2. But first we needed to sell our OBX home. Tammy met with us and explained the current housing market and showed us nearby similar homes for sale and priced our house competitively.3. Tammy came to our home before it went on the market and made suggestions about the placing of furniture and paintings and even brought some of her own staging supply to make sure that our home was shown to its best advantage. She really made it pop. So much so that we were under contract in 3 days!4. Tammy was responsive to all our phone calls. She returned our calls quickly even though she had a string of other buyers and sellers she was representing during the summer and fall of 2020s outrageously active housing market.5. Tammy gave us excellent advice during negotiations in order to get us the best possible price for our home.6. Tammy led us through the process of online docu-signing during the Covid-19 pandemic as we were drowning in online paperwork both buying in Durham and selling at the Outer Banks at the same time. She gave us reminder calls and helped to keep us organized.These are just a few of the ways we are so glad to have had Tammy Russell as our agent for the sale of our house in Southern Shores. If you want a tireless, knowledgeable and communicative realtor working to find your dream home or quickly sell your home, we highly recommend Tammy Russell of Keller Williams.

Review for Member: Tammy Russell
ZillowVERIFIEDTo say Tammy was exceptional would be an understatement. I can't begin to explain how happy my fiance and I were with everything about our experience! I almost went with an agent I'd met a few summers ago just through some casual showings out of a sense of ease or obligation, but Tammy came very highly recommended to me by a friend at work. So, I went with Tammy instead. And I'm so glad I did! Tammy far exceeded my expectations. She was always super responsive- from before I ever met her to today when we closed!! She happily took any suggestions I gave her for properties to look at and learned very quickly through trial and error what we would like and dislike. Most importantly, she helped us through a very stressful 8-person multiple offer situation! In the end, we came out on top not because our offer was the highest, but because of her persistence in communicating how much we wanted the house and a very personal (and unprompted) email she sent the seller's agent about who we were and why this property was so special to us. Tammy was especially comforting, and thoughtful during the stress of not knowing whether we'd be able to rent the property, or even visit it, because of bridge closures due to COVID-19. One morning a few days after we learned we couldn't be allowed to the Island to attend the home inspection, she texted a picture of the sunrise at the beach by the house, because she happened to be in that area. The fact that she thought of us, especially during those difficult times, says all you need to know. I absolutely cannot say enough nice things about Tammy, and my experience in buying a house with her as my advocate. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a seller's or buyer's agent.

ZillowVERIFIEDI signed with Tammy early December 2018 and I went to settlement on Feb. 15th. My house had been on the market since April with another realtor company, with no positive feedback. Tammy had people looking at the house right away, all with great feedback, I wish she would travel to MD and sell my house, that is how good she is. She is very professional and my entire experience was GREAT.

ZillowVERIFIEDTammy Russell responded promptly in October 2018 to our first inquiry for assistance with the sale of our beach house and worked closely with us throughout the time of preparing the house for showing, showing the property to potential buyers, and finalizing the sale. She answered our questions promptly and made us feel comfortable about the details of the sale at every step. We are especially pleased that the property sold as quickly as it did. We highly recommend Ms. Russell for the professional manner in which she conducted the sale of our beach house.

ZillowVERIFIEDTammy assisted us in the sale of 3 separate lots over the last 2 years. She thoroughly research the market conditions and helped us properly price the lots. She also advised on steps to improve the salability of one of the properties. We have no hesitation in recommending her and would work with her again.

ZillowVERIFIEDSimply put, EXCEPTIONAL service! We purchased our home from out of state and Tammy was incredibly responsive and accommodating. She adeptly responded to our needs while keeping us informed of all available options. She brings a competence and personal touch that frankly is hard to find these days. She came personally recommended to us by a friend and is by far our recommendation of choice to our close friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIEDTammy helped us sell our home in record time. Her marketing is second to none. She advised us on what to do before we hit the market then she staged the home and took photos that showed the homes best features. Once the home was under contract she kept in constant contact to keep us up to date on the process. We can not say enough about what a positive experience it was. If you need a top notch agent she is your girl!

Review for Member: Tammy Russell
ZillowVERIFIEDWe hired Tammy to sell our home after doing much research and reading rave reviews about her. At our initial meeting, she was personable and had a nice presentation with regard to her credentials, recent sales, etc.To her credit, she listed our home and we received an offer within 8 days. We were very pleased at that point despite a few red flags along the way. Unfortunately, as the transaction became a bit complicated and stressful, we realized that her value was really in marketing and sales, not guiding us through tough negotiations or holding firm with the buyer/agent when we reached our limit. Surprisingly, she became emotional and defensive when we asked questions, inquired about our options or asked her to find a satisfactory resolution. Despite the number of credits or accommodations we gave to the buyer, she seemed intent on satisfying their interests versus ours. Ultimately, she did not even attend our closing, offer to attend, or follow up with us to make sure things went smoothly. We felt abandoned by our agent when the situation became challenging, and learned a very valuable, yet expensive, lesson in the process. For that reason we cannot recommend Tammy but hope she will use this experience to improve her skills.

ZillowVERIFIEDTammy's first-hand knowledge of the Outer Banks market is second to none. We worked with her as buyers a few years ago and when it was time to sell another house we owned, we knew Tammy was the right realtor. She made putting the house on the market painless and walked us through each step - her pricing was absolutely perfect - and the house sold in 4 days for asking price. It really doesn't get better than that! She is dedicated to her clients - answering her phone/texts at any time - even while on vacation! We hope to work with her again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Outer Banks.

ZillowVERIFIEDTammy Russell is the consummate professional with many skills to achieve her clients goals. She maintained a clear vision of our goals and objectives, then she marketed, promoted and negotiated to sell our house appropriately within the framework of the area as well as to meet our objectives. She made sure we understood every aspect of her efforts so that we could all work together well. She is clearly well respected by her colleagues which is important for marketing. She does not bog down in irrelevant issues and is solution oriented when addressing any that may arise. Our house was not a vacation rental so selling a permanent home in the mid 400's is not an straight forward sale on the OBX. She did it and she did it well.

ZillowVERIFIEDLet me start by saying if you want a realtor that is truly working for her clients and not just another sale, contact Tammy. Tammy was always available to answer any questions or concerns that we had when buying our house. She is very versed in the local market. She presented ideas during the negotiation of the home purchase that we hadn't even considered. Thanks to Tammy she stopped me from accepting the seller's offer initially and got us a better price on the property than I thought we would even get. Tammy is very personable, easy going, easy to work with and a genuine kind person. You will NOT be disappointed in choosing Tammy to assist you with your realtor needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently relocated to the OBX from out of state. We needed a realtor who would take the time to become familiar with us and our needs. We made several house hunting trips and Tammy made sure we saw what was available, even in inclement weather. She simply put on her coat, boots and gloves and got down to business. She is thoughtful, thorough and resourceful. We could not be more grateful for her assistance in this process.

ZillowVERIFIEDI asked my lender to recommend a strong and knowledgeable female to work with me. Tammy came highly recommended as being very successful in the Outer Banks market. In addition to her realty skills I found an accommodating and delightful person to work with who I'd like to think I can now consider a friend. Within 3 months we found a property that checked all the boxes of what I was looking for in a second home and two months later I closed with a good deal. I think you would have a very positive experience with the outcome you are looking for if you engage with Tammy. Wonderful working with her!!

ZillowVERIFIEDTammy was very helpful and effective in getting us an offer on our undeveloped lot within 90 days. She was especially helpful when the original offer was canceled as we neared closing and the lot was put back on the market. Within 30 days Tammy worked to get us another offer which we agreed to and have closed on. We enjoyed working with Tammy and recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIEDTammy did a fantastic job for us. We contracted her after a lot we had listed for many years hadn't sold or had much activity. If we hadn't contracted with Tammy I doubt our lot would have sold. She was able to attract activity which the other brokers failed to do.

Review for Member: Tammy Russell
ZillowVERIFIEDTammy was professional and knowledgable in every facet of selling both a lot and our home with the lot selling in an amazing 2 days and the home soon after. She never failed to keep us informed on any and all matters pertaining to the sale. Her suggestions were always spot on and her feel for the market area was invaluable, ads for the sales were attractive and informative. Because we had moved most of our furnishings out prior to putting the house on the market she staged the home on her own. Tammy coordinated all aspects of the sale including repairs needed to complete the deal. Tammy's efforts were instrumental in the successful sale of our two properties and we consider her a friend.

ZillowVERIFIEDTammy led me through selling a house, a first for me. She was very knowledgeable of the real estate market on the outer banks and had many avenues to advertise my house including Zillow, MLS, mailers, and contacting other real-estate agents in the area. She is an expert seller. She told me how to stage my house and it was under contract in 3.5 weeks with a qualified buyer. The process was so smooth and practically stress free as Tammy handles everything with efficiency and kept me up to date. She is always reachable within minutes. She has the friendliest personality and smile.

Even though this was a long distance purchase everything went smoothly because Tammy was just a phone call away. She addressed any questions in a timely and professional manner. Working with Tammy was like working with a close friend who always had your best interest at heart. We would definitely use Tammy again for any real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDTammy helped sell our beach house in Nags Head in no time! It was one of the easiest real estate transactions we have done and we had the added challenge of selling the house from out-of-state. Without missing a beat, Tammy stepped in to facilitate the sale from prepping the house so that it shown like new, handling the buyer's due diligence questions, to even returning our cable boxes and mailing our personal belongings to us at closing. We got our list price and a quick closing. She was truly a full-service and first-rate realtor on our transaction. We highly recommend Tammy Russell. You won't be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIEDI cannot even begin to tell you how wonderful Tammy Russell is! My husband and I started our OBX search back in the spring. Neither of us had any idea where to start or which realtor to work with. I was scrolling through the Zillow profiles of numerous OBX realtors and came across Tammy's profile. In short, not only did Tammy exceed our expectations during the buying process, she goes above and beyond! I sent her a quick email introducing myself along with a link of one property we were interested in seeing. Within minutes, she responded WHILE ON VACATION! Over the next few months, she took the time to get to know my family's preferences for the different locations and our expectations for our beach house. We live out of state, and were only available to look at properties on one Saturday. Tammy narrowed down a large list of properties and showed us only those that met all of our criteria. Within 5 hours, we had toured properties in Duck and Nags Head with incredible efficiency, and had decided to make an offer on a property! Tammy was a fierce negotiator, getting the property at a great price, as well as negotiating credits for repairs. She is incredibly well connected with numerous contractors, mortgage brokers, and insurance agencies and helped guide us through the entire buying process. Tammy was present for home and termite inspections, walk throughs, etc. After we closed, she even met with our phone and cable providers for installation so we didn't have to be onsite. The day after Hurricane Matthew hit, she proactively went to our house to assess if we had any storm damage. She then, immediately called us with an update (thankfully no damage!). Tammy didn't just visit our house...she visited ALL of her current and past client's vacation homes! How many realtors offer this type of service!?! I cannot express how grateful we are to have found Tammy!
