    About Theresa Olson

    I started out in Real Estate as a Residential Income Property Investor, originally managing all aspects of my own units. The technical knowledge of the physical properties and the deep understanding of real estate contracts gained through my personal real estate acquisitions and dispositions naturally led me to obtain my Real Estate Sales license. At first, friends and family would call on me to help navigate them through the often complex purchase process. Fortuitously and unintentional, I had developed a blossoming real estate sales business. Unfortunately the real estate market crashed but my desire to help others did not diminish. I shifted with the market and learned all I could about short sales and pre-foreclosure options for distressed sellers. I transitioned into a short sale solutions Manager in my current brokerage and earned the reputation as a short sale specialist among my colleagues in the industry. I was the executive Manager of a growing Real Estate Firm, overseeing a staff of Real estate professionals that focus on Home Buyers & Sellers. In addition to that I was very much involved in my first love of Property Management. I oversaw a property management department that manages a portfolio of scattered site single and multifamily properties. I love to work with new investors and try and assist them in all the steps in starting an investment portfolio of their own as well as seasoned investors. Any area of Real estate is my passion from first time home buyers to sellers. I have been traveling to NC for the last twenty years and finally made this beautiful state my home. I enjoy Lake Jordan, and downtown dining in both Raleigh and Durham.

    This is the second time I've used Theresa O as my realtor both as a buyer and recently as the seller. She is amazing and I wouldn't dream of using anyone else in the Tri- City area for my realty needs. She got me OVER asking for my home during the stressful Holiday time. She is a joy to work with and takes all the stress and frustration out of the home buying/selling experience. Best there is!

    The real estate market being as ludicrous as it's been lately, buying a house was a very difficult and frustrating experience, especially given that we had a very specific need for a home with an apartment/mother-in-law suite or a floor plan that could be divided. But Theresa was tireless in her efforts and went above and beyond, showing us some 200 homes over the course of a year and writing 16 offers before we finally won the bid on a 70s ranch with a walk-out basement apartment. In addition to working so hard for us, Theresa did it with a smile and a great sense of humor and kept my spirits up whenever I thought it was an impossible task to find what we needed. We would definitely use her again if the need arises.

    My husband and I were thrilled to have had such a great team of people behind us ensuring our home building experience went as smooth as possible. Theresa Olson was there for us throughout the process and was able to calm my fears and anxieties at times I didn't understand things such as inspections and appraisals and all those documents we had to sign! She advocated for us to make sure our new home we were building was completed well and encouraged us when there were common and frustrating delays related to things out of the builders control as well. She was skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced in her field. We are happy to say that now living in our beautiful home, Theresa is a welcomed friend, not just our realtor.

    Really appreciated Theresa's partnership and support in finding our Triangle home! She highlighted and showed us homes across a very wide area and worked closely with us throughout the transaction process. We highly recommend her.

    We reached out to Theresa when we thought we would be relocating from NY to NC for a job. She was very knowable about the area, neighborhoods and builders, which was extremely helpful coming from out of state. She always responded to emails and texts promptly and you can tell she really enjoys what she does. Not only is she good at what she does, she is also a lot of fun to work with. My wife and I have purchased several homes over the years and showings with Theresa were by far the most fun we ever had. We wound up not making the move and she still checks in on us to see how things are going. You won't go wrong if hire her to represent you and will have a lot of fun as a bonus. Julie and Tim
