Smart Choice Realty

Smart Choice Realty is definitely worth your business. Samara (the owner and sellers agent) was very good at explaining the process. She gave me great suggestions for staging my home and when the time came, took amazing pictures. I had great traffic to the house and it SOLD IN 7 DAYS!!! Comparable homes in the neighborhood sit on the market for months. I feel that Smart Choice made the difference. Jaymi (the buyers agent) was enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. She walked us through the pros and cons of every house we looked at and always got back to us when we had questions. We were able to find the house of our dreams in a great neighborhood. She is a skilled negotiator and got us extra furniture and helped us beat out 2 other couples for the home. Behind the scenes, Jessica, is an amazing organizer and communicator. She makes sure everything is turned in on time and is always there to answer questions. I cannot recommend this company enough. They are worth every penny and more! more

Top-notch company. Smart Choice delivered everything a full-priced realtor delivers, but they delivered it better. Their sign was huge and attracted a LOT of drive-by attention. We were initially concerned that other realtors would shun showing our home because it wasn't listed with a standard 5%-6% fee company. NOT SO! We had lots of traffic and multiple buyers even entered into a bidding war, selling our home above asking price in less than 3 weeks. I cannot say enough about SmartChoice Realty or their staff. They were, by far, the easiest realty company we've ever dealt with - a professional operation. Five stars all the way. more

Smart Choice staffs a great team whether you have to buy or sell. Samara and Jaymi were unbelievably patient and accommodating during our home buying experience and Jessica stayed on top of our closing schedule to help us into our beautiful new home. Thanks ladies! more

I could not be happier about my decision to sell and buy our home with Smart Choice Realty. Samara and Jessica are some of the most organized and professional agents I have ever met! Thier expectations are clear from the beginning and they are always available to discuss feedback or questions. I would recommend anyone I know to buy or sell with Smart Choice Realty! more

I never imagined buying my first home could go so smoothly. Jaymi Huff was my buyers agent and she was full of knowledge. You can really tell when someone loves their job, it makes all the difference. Between her and Jessica, any question I had was answered in such a timely manner. Although I don't plan on moving again anytime soon, I would definitely choose Smart Choice Realty again, as well as highly recommend them! more

Samara and Jessica did an outstanding job representing us as a seller's agent. The house was under contract in 90 days , and we were able to get close to our listing price. Jessica did an excellent job handling the negotiations and contracts between us and the buyer. We strongly recommend Smart Choice and would gladly use them again in the future. \r Jim and Sylvia C. more

Samara and Jessica were WONDERFUL in both selling our house and buying our new one. Not only did they get our old house sold faster than we could have imagined (for our asking price!), they got us a fantastic deal on our new home. Samara and Jessica are a top notch team and we highly recommend Smart Choice Realty!!! more

Samara and Jessica were very efficient, professional, and dependable. They were both available when we needed them and they both worked with us diligently to help achieve our goals both with selling our house and buying a new one. Samara is a great negotiator and is very persistent. I would definitely 100% recommend Smart Choice Realty if you plan to sell and buy a house! more

I cannot say enough good things about this company. We have bought and sold by owner 6 times and have never had an MLS service that has done so much for us. The pictures advertising our home were very professional and brought our buyers from out of state in 2 weeks. Smart Choice assisted in the negotiations and closing and everything in between. All of this for no extra charge! The communication was excellent even on weekends and Holidays. We saved over $16,000 in closing costs!! more

Samara Presley was exttremely helpful and knowledgable in helping us find the right townhouse for us. We were new to Raleigh and did not know any realtors. I saw her sign while riding around looking for Townhomes and gave her a call. I consider us lucky that we called her first. She answered all questions, returned all my phone calls and emails (which were many) and was always courteous. We would certainly recommend her to anyone! more

Samara was very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I got a great price for my home with a back up offer. I would have lost a lot of money if I hadn't used her service. more

My wife and I really lucked out when Jessica Hunt met us to show a Smart Choice listing. We were just beginning our house search and had not settled on an agent as yet. Our relationship with Jessica grew from that first meeting and it was soon clear that Jessica was very professional, knowledgeable, and always had our best interests at heart. She never tried to push us in any direction or selection, but listened to our requirements and desires and did everything she could to meet them. At times the process was arduous but with Jessica helping us each step of the way it went smoothly. In short, we ended up with a great house in a great location. I can't imagine going through this with anyone but Jessica. more

So My wife and I bought our very first home this past jan 2012. Jessica Hunt with Smart Choice realty was our realtor, and OMG...not only did we get the house of our dreams but we also got it for an OUTSTANDING price thanks to her amazing negotiation skills!!!! She was very professional,Tentative,caring and she Listened to our wants/needs. Overall showed that she really loves what she does and really wants to help you get the house of your dreams. She explained the entire process with such clarity that we felt so comfortable. We started seriously looking in Nov 2011 and by Jan 2012 we were closing on our Dream house. Jessica negotiated soo well that at closing WE GOT MONEY and We were living in an apartment and our lease wasn't up until april 2012, Well the builder even payed our lease off thanks to Jessica's negotiation skills. She is simply THE BEST!!! I'm soo glad I chose Jessica Hunt and Smart choice Realty. more

Samara sold my house in Wake Forest for more than the asking price. Don't waste your time or money on a full price realtor. more

We needed to sell our home in what turned out to be the worst real estate market in my lifetime (sixty four years). The 'entry only' listing method seemed the way to go because in all previous real estate transactions we were not satisfied with the level of integrity we received from our agents. So, why pay for service you are not going to get? Now, after listing with Smart Choice Realty and the selling of our home is behind us, signing up with Samara and the Smart Choice team was one of the smartest choices we ever made! With all the ups and downs that came along, Samara was unflappable. Her skills, knowledge of real estate, integrity, positive intentions and her willingness to work extremely hard without giving in or giving up, sold our home. To make matters even more difficult in a bad market, the buyer's agent was brand new in the business and Samara coached and mentored her through the process. Keep in mind, the buyer's agent was going to make more money in this transaction than she was. Now, that's INTEGRITY! We all know hindsight is twenty-twenty, that is why we can so heartily recommend Samara and the Smart Choice team to be YOUR agent in buying or selling a home!!!

Selling our house in Cary was made worry free with Samara and her team. I always was well informed and she was professional with a caring attitude. A friend recommended Samara and I was hooked with the $1000 flat sell fee. In a tough economy the flat fee was truly a savings. Smart Choice Realty are a top rate company that I recommend highly to my friends. When your selling your house, you want somebody on your side that knows the business, has contacts to help with repairs or staging, and somebody you can trust. Our family was very pleased with our smart choice of choosing Samara! more

I have worked as a contractor for many of Samara's clients and I have always found her clients to be extremely happy with with Smart Choice Services. Its not just the flat fee of $1,000 that makes them happy its the great full service. more

In reading through online reviews of realtors, we were so fortunate to learn about Samara and Smart Choice Realty. While we were not familiar with these names then, we can enthusiastically recommend them now. We had not planned on selling our house, but, due to an unexpected job opportunity 500 miles away, we had to get it ready and on the market quickly. Samara was an invaluable guide and resource throughout this process. She quickly identified changes we needed to make in the house and expert professionals who could complete the work efficiently. Once our house was on the market, Samara kept us informed about its prospects and the local market in general. She was positive, patient, accessible, and definitely looking out for our best interests. Thank you, Samara! more

Samara was amazing to work with!! My wife and I looked for a home (our first) for over 6 months and Samara never became discouraged or let us become discouraged. She was always positive even when we were not. I would recommend Samara to anyone I know with out thinking twice. I don't look forward to moving anytime soon but I look forward to working with Samara when I do. more
