View All ListingsMoving to a new area and finding your dream home can be a little overwhelming, so finding a realtor who exemplifies the best of the best is so important. From the moment we met Tanya Papandrea and throughout our entire home search and post-closure, we recognized her expertise in every step of the process and felt her support. Tanya is very professional, personable, knowledgeable, detail oriented, proactive, on top of everything and provides excellent communication. She advocates for her clients above and beyond expectations. Clients are so fortunate to have such an amazing realtor by their side.
When the time came to sell our house, there was no question that we would work with Tanya as our realtor. She had been our realtor when we bought the house, and in the years since has become the go-to recommendation we make to family and friends moving to the area. The fact that Tanya is also our neighbor and friend added a layer of complexity to the relationship that she handled with grace and professionalism throughout. Tanya guided us through every step of the selling process with care and thoroughness. Rather than simply sharing what was required, she took the time to provide context around each document and decision point so that we always felt informed and confident. Her team's work presenting the home was equally impressive; the staging and photography looked like something out of a magazine and translated beautifully across the range of platforms where the listing appeared. Having Tanya as our realtor for both the purchase and sale of our home was an advantage. She arrived with context most realtors wouldn't have, like access to original plans, paint colors, and a working relationship with the builder, which allowed added depth and credibility to conversations with potential buyers. Tanya's experience runs deep, and it shows. She gave us clear guidance on what to expect, walked us through different strategies for evaluating and responding to offers, and answered every question we had with patience and real substance. She could recognize patterns she's seen before and share relevant context from similar experiences, which provided helpful perspective and confidence. The market was cooling a bit by the time we listed. Houses that might have sold on the first showing a year or two earlier were sitting longer, and the uncertainty was hard not to feel. Tanya kept us grounded throughout, neither dismissive of our frustration nor willing to let us make any decisions she didn't think served us well. She kept us focused and motivated through a period that required more patience than we had expected, and her steady presence made all the difference.
We first heard about Tanya from a friend of ours. From our first interaction to the closing date of our settlement, Tanya was there 100%. She kept us up to date on any new houses coming in the market, doing background on the houses we were narrowing down to make sure no issues, always available, and truly a joy to work with. Hands down the hardest working and knowledgeable realtor weve ever dealt with. Id recommend her to anyone looking for a hard working realtor that puts your best interest first. Shes our realtor for life !!!
I met Tanya years ago and knew whenever I sold my house that I would want her for my realtor. She is immediately responsive and helped to facilitate anything I needed, as I was selling from a distance. Her warm personality made the whole process sail smoothly from beginning to end and she patiently takes the time to explain any questions regarding how things go and the paperwork. My house was sold in 5 days during a slow period.
I called Tanya, desperate, after my house being on the market for 5 months with another realtor, with very few showings and not one offer. I was desperate to get my house sold fast. Tanya came in as a solid real estate professional with proven solutions. She made recommendations and had the house staged by a professional staging company, which made a big difference, she ordered for new photos and a virtual walk-thru to be completed and the results were amazing. We were immediately busy with showings and 11 days after listing with her, I got an offer for an acceptable amount and we went to closing 30 days later. Tanya was there to help, advise and support me through the entire process. She was amazing and made me it feel easy and seamless and I got the results I was looking for. If you are looking for a realtor who knows her business and will walk it with you the entire way, delivering on all her promises, Tanya Papandrea is your agent!! When it's time to buy another house, there is no doubt I will be giving her a call. I would not hesitate one second to use her services again!
Tanya and her team were wonderful! Easy to work with, always available to talk with, and very professional. I was lucky to have her and her team working on selling my home.
Cannot say enough to express how wonderful our experience has been with Tanya at Absolute Realty! From our very first conversation we were very impressed with Tanya's experience and broad knowledge base of real estate. Buying and selling a house is very stressful, but Tanya and her team at Absolute helped us through every step of the process. Highly recommend!!
Tanya is very tenacious in getting positive results for her clients. She is efficient, effective and professional.
Tanya Papandrea is an exceptional real estate professional. When we moved to Pittsboro from Florida in 2020 Tanya helped us purchase our new home. Since then, she has helped our daughter with the purchase of a new home and sale of their previous home - twice. We recently purchased a new home in the Encore development of Chatham Park. Of course, we called on Tanya to be our buyer agent and to list our previous home for sale. She gave us stellar service on both transactions. Our quick sale was expedited in large part due to the services that Tanya provided. She brought in professional stagers and photographers. The photographer created a video that was so sharp, we couldnt believe it was our house. Tanya did an exceptional job in marketing our property. If you want to buy or sell your home in the Pittsboro area, do yourself a favor and call Tanya. Bill and Mary Bowers
Tanya is focused on ensuring the best result for her clients. She is accessible, knowledgeable, competent, honest and hard working. I look forward to her helping us in our next project. And for what its worth, I highly recommend her for anyone needing the service of a professional realtor.
We started working with Tanya a year ago to purchase a home. She listened to our requests and preferences, kept us informed of the area real estate market and of what was available throughout this time. Tanya was always responsive, professional and patient. Her knowledge of the area and resources available to complete the purchase were invaluable. We highly recommend Tanya!
Tanya was a pleasure to work with and put together an exceptional marketing package to help me sell my home quickly! I highly recommend her as your real estate partner.
This is our third time using Tayna. With the interest rates near six percent, she still was able to sell our home in 2 weeks. Her staging advice and her showcasing skills will present your home in its very best light. From start to finish you will recieve the very best advice, yet she will listen and let you make the choices. A true gem, Tanya is a true professional.
Tanya is an exceptional communicator with her clients and other agents. She has a strong community of resources to help the selling process move quickly and easily to closing. The photos of the house were beautiful and her promotional materials describing the benefits of the property were very professional. We had multiple offers over the 'asking price' in just 4 days. The hardest part of the entire process we trying to decide which offer to accept. With Tanya's help and advice, we are sure we made the right decision. We were so lucky to have had Tanya as our agent!
Upon first meeting Tanya, I was so impressed with her financial knowledge. She listened to our "wants" and "needs" in a home and found us a home that was superbly crafted and in just the right neighborhood. She is professional and personable as well. I will definitely recommend her in the future.
Since moving to North Carolina, we have worked with Tanya several times. Her professionalism is unmatched, and she knows her stuff. We have purchased and sold homes with Tanya, and we have always felt like our needs came first.
Tanya is truly one of the best Real Estate Agents we have ever had. She is a real go getter and gets the job done! She does not waste any time and is always available to the client. We put our house on the market and within less than 24-48 hours we had four offers well above asking price and we excepted a very generous offer with little negotiation. She seems to love what she does and it shows.
This a was my 3rd home purchase with Tanya and 2nd home sold experience. Tanya is thorough, knowledgeable and dedicated. Both of my homes sold in less than a week after listing. I highly recommend Tanya for all your real estate needs
Our home purchase find was a lengthy process. We had been referred to Tanya and made contact a couple months before arriving in NC area. She provided us good local knowledge of conditions and set our expectations realistically. With Covid impact it becomes a team effort scouting for possible properties and emphasis is on immediate response for the good ones. Tanya jumped through hoops if we notified of one we had found and she set up appointments within 24 hrs - which was critical. Still it took about 4 months and she was friendly and available thru the entire experience. Her advise in offer makeup, obtaining inspections, general contractors, credit negotiations, and review of all reports and interpreting has been extremely helpful and made the process very smooth. I'd recommend her services highly
Tanya was great to work with. She is very professional and did a great job marketing my house with beautiful brochures and a custom website. She kept me updated throughout each step of the process and followed up with Buyer's Agents after showings. The sale was quick and seamless.
We cannot say enough kind words about working with Tanya! As first-time home buyers we needed a lot of hand holding throughout the process and Tanya was there every step of the way. She patiently answered every question that we had and made suggestions for aspects that we had not even thought about. She made fantastic recommendations on other professionals to work with in the field to help us streamline our process. From first contact to closing, Tanya was the BEST!
Our estate is not run of the mill normal. Tanya researched and marketed to where we received maximum value for our property. This was done during the height of the pandemic and lockdown.
Tanya was amazing to work with and went above and beyond. Letting our fur baby chocolate lab out for us definitely was not in her job description but she was glad to help. She was always quick to respond, open minded and very knowledgeable. If you are looking for a great realtor, I highly recommend Tanya Papandrea!
Tanya was fantastic to work with! She paid special attention to detail and had a great knowledge of the market. Her experience helped us get our house ready to put on the market and sell quickly. We highly recommend her!
Tanya had a clear strategy and helped make sure the house was ready and the word was everywhere once we went to market. Extremely pleased with her ability to market the house from many different avenues. All around excellent service. This was my second sale with Tanya.
Tanya was amazing throughout the buying process. From looking at homes, guiding us through the offer, supporting us through the inspection, walk-through and closing and even recommendations for plumbers, painters and handyman. We couldn't have asked for a better more professional realtor. We highly recommend her and know that our experience is one that will be positively received by others who choose to work with her!
I highly recommend Tanya Papandrea. She worked with me for several months to find the right home for me. Tanya is very pleasant, friendly, approachable, helpful, dependable and easy to work with -- as well as being very knowledgeable and proactive. I always knew what the next steps were. If I had any questions, I was able to reach out to Tanya and get a rapid response. She never dropped the ball with anything that I asked her to assist me with. Shes very trustworthy aEUR" I felt she was always clear and upfront with me and that she well represented my interests. Nothing was left hanging or to chance. She works very hard at her job, and shes very good at her job, and she is very focused on client satisfaction. Tanya always gave me her honest opinion when I would ask her for it. She was very helpful in arranging inspections and evaluations for due diligence. Even after the sale, Tanya is a great resource for contractors and other service providers. It makes me feel I made the right decision to work with her because she is still working with me after the sale.
Tanya and her staff were the consummate professionals throughout our whole selling and buying process. From the beginning when she presented us with the market analysis of the area for setting our price and all the ways she would promote our house, we knew we had made a very wise choice in our realtor. The stagers she brought in were great and helped tweak our house to make it shine even more, and the photographer she used did a great job as well. Tanya really knows her stuff, and also is just a very pleasant person to work with. Clearly, we highly recommend Tanya for anyone wanting a great real estate agent.
Tanya has an amazing consultative approach to helping you find what you are looking for. She is professional and personable; astute and friendly. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in finding the best agent in the area! You wont regret it.
Tanya was phenomenal. She helped sell our old home and purchase a new one. Her attention to detail, negotiation skills, knowledge of the market and community, and her marketing strategies are just a few of the reasons we would recommend her to others and will keep her as our agent in the future.Thanks, Tanya!
Tanya came and helped sell our horse farm in Pittsboro, NC after it had been on the market for a year and a half. She brought in a professional real estate photographer and developed a full proof marketing plan and targeted audience for a special property. 24 hours after it was listed on MLS (and other online sites) it was under contract! Since then I have enlisted her help again to sell some undeveloped land that is again specific for a horse farm.
Tanya is very professional and personable. She offered us great staging ideas and responded immediately to our questions and concerns. Our house sold in 2 days and Tanya was a wonderful resource for connecting us with professionals for inspecting and completing the closing process. We highly recommend her!
Tanya helped me buy my first home in the Chapel Hill area this year, which was no small feat in this ultra-competitive market! She was always so kind and responsive whenever a property became available, and we were often bolting to go see one on short notice and were prepared to put in offers day-of. Whenever I had a question (and there were plenty), she always got the answer for me within hours. I really, really appreciated being able to work with her in this process, and I learned so much - though now that I'm officially a homeowner, I won't be doing it again for a while!
Tanya is an amazing realtor, who goes above and beyond! Her communication skills are superior. Under her guidance, our home sold very quickly and at the asking price. Tanya exceeded our expectations and I strongly recommend her as a realtor!
Nobody can find a better Realtor/Broker than Tanya Papandrea. She had sold 2 of my houses in Chapel Hill, NC, also had helped me from the beginning to the end in the building of a new house also in Chapel Hill, NC. What I like about Tanya is her devotion and her professionalism toward the job she was hired for. She had kept me informed of the status of the marketing and will take actions if necessary. If I must buy/sell again, no need to say who my Broker will be. I greatly recommend her.
Best person I have dealt with in a long time. Her knowledge of real-estate is a given and her attention to detail is second to none. She took the time to guide us through a process we had not done in some 30 years, buying and selling a home. A lot had changed and Tanya was right there to answer, guide and advocate for us. We made a great team and we got the house of our dreams. She had fantastic associates who took pictures, who helped us stage our old home. Her list of vendors who fixed, repaired and inspected our old and new home made our decisions easy. She was a one stop shop and made our move a pleasant journey. We miss her as, we are all moved in. Tanya's smile, her bright personality, her caring nature, her attention to detail and her ability to listen to the clients are strengths most realtors today do not posses. She is a gem.
We were ready to downsize and not really sure where to start. Tanya walked us through the process of preparing our home for sale and we had a full price offer in 4 days of going on the market! We were so impressed with Tanya's knowledge, patience, and professionalism we then had her represent us as a buyer's agent. She listened to our wants and needs and found us the perfect home quickly. What typically is a very stressful experience was made much simpler with Tanya's help! We would highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling their home.
What I like of Tanya is that she is a good listener, she is extremely resourceful, she was always courteous, and professional. She was persistent and determined to help me find my dream home. I forever grateful to her for the hard work that she invested in finding my forever home!
Working with Tanya was wonderful. She made our out of town sale a breeze with her knowledge of the market and matrix of experienced contractors. She is very responsive and thorough. Great Experience!
My wife and I worked with Tanya and she was very professional and knowledgeable. We were buying a townhome from out of state and she made the process enjoyable. If we had any questions or concerns she got back with us very quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends or family.
My wife and I were originally were looking around the PIttsboro area, which is Tanya's area. After looking around for a while, we decided to stay in the Wake County area. The few times we spent looking at houses with Tanya, we loved! She was very personable, professional, and helpful! There were many times I could call, text, or email her and she would reply immediately. Ultimately, we bought our home in Fuquay Varina, which is about 45 minutes East of her area. Tanya traveled this way numerous times and was asking questions neither one of us would have ever thought about asking. She even helped us blue tape the house when we did the walk through. I can honestly say, the next time we need a realtor, we will go back to Tanya!
We met Tanya several years ago at one of her open houses. She kept in touch with us and always offered help and advice. When the time came to purchase a new house and we asked for advice she was there to guide us all the way. She is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. She gave us good recommendations to help with closing. We will use her again as our agent if needed and highly recommend her.
We met Tanya while attending our first open house. She immediately came across as professional, kind and thorough. We opted to work with her while looking to buy our first home, and we do not regret it at all. She is very organized, easy to communicate with and eager to answer questions. After we made our offer for the home we wanted, she kept us on track and ensured a timely closing. She has also gone out of her way to establish ties with local lenders and vendors, which was very important to us since we were not from the area. We thank her for making the process a truly smooth one, and would not hesitate to recommend her.
When we first met Tanya, she did assure us she would sell the house for us. She had talked to us about her marketing strategy, worked on it right away, and published it all over. Before you know it, we had opened house and visitations to our place. House was sold in less than 90 days We are very proud of Tanya, not only for finding us a buyer, but also for being a professional in that field of Real Estate. I greatly recommend her.Lionel Giordani

Tanya provided excellent realtor service. She was available whenever we had a question. She is very knowledgeable, kind, and positive. We would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor.
Tanya is very knowledgeable about the area, very professional and works hard for you. This is our second experience in using Tanya and we would definitely go with her the next time.

We were so happy to have Tanya on our side as we bought our first house. She was able to meet with us on short notice and accommodate our schedule when we first wanted to view some homes, and was always on top of our communications. Tanya did a wonderful job of explaining the home-buying process to us, including answering numerous rookie questions, and was a great advocate for us as our buyer's agent. Her knowledge of the area, including ongoing and future development, was very useful and helped us decide to buy our home. We have been in our home for about a month now, and Tanya regularly checks in to make sure we're settling in. Her personal touches, like getting dinner on move-in day, are above and beyond what we expected, and were definitely very appreciated. Thank you, Tanya!
Tanya was our realtor to buy our first house, and we had a great experience with her throughout the whole process, from looking for a house to putting an offer and negotiating the terms. She was always available when we needed her, and she was also super helpful to recommend local people to work with for things such as getting a loan, taking care of the inspections and having some work done on the house. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a house in the NC Triangle area.
