I've utilized CCRE on several occasions and each time have been satisfied. My most recent listing sold in 10 days! This is a very simple concept for folks that enjoy saving thousands of dollars when selling their home. They perform the same services that other listing agents do up until the point home is listed. Pics, MLS listing, call center, lock box & sign - all for a flat fee option of your choosing. I've pocketed tens of thousands by utilizing their services and cannot understand why most folks continue to pay a listing agent 3% for planting a sign in their yard. If you are comfortable negotiating the contract with the buyer's agent and don't need someone to hold your hand throughout the process, then this is the only option for you.
Description of Work: CCRE listed my home for sale.

Dave and his team were great. They told me what they were going to do, and then did it. We sold a Townhome in Brier Creek, David came out, took photos, filled out the required forms, obtained the needed documentation and provided us a researched and validated asking price. No stress, no silly sales pressure or off the wall marketing claims. Just clear and level headed advice and expectation setting. Once offers came in, they did the negotiation for us and allowed us to decide what to do without pressure or stress. Once we accepted an offer, it was smooth sailing. Our closing advisor. Lee was terrific. Everything was lined up and easy to handle and she was easily accessible for questions. After the inspection we had a few repairs to do, and Lee gave us a name of a qualified individual to handle the work. We scheduled him in and he was in and out within a week. Final closing was a breeze, and we really did not have any hitches or fire drills along the way. I'd recommend these people heartily. Don't believe that you need a "full service" broker to sell, you do not since all you will get in addition from them is a binder from them and a set of way over the top 'staging' demands. Stage your home by all means, use common sense. Marketing: a sign, photos and MLS listing is ALL you need. Enjoy!
Description of Work: They listed my home on MLS, handled negotiations and coordinated closing activity.

The owner provided a market analysis that seemed high for my area and explained their packages. Since he both sells and buys houses I asked about conflict of interest and he assured my that I would have a dedicated listing agent. I chose the full service package. The listing agent was nice, came out and took pictures and reviewed a different market analysis. We discussed price and I thought the one she suggested was low so I added $2000 to it. Then I talked to some friends and they said I should go for a higher amount since a neighbor had just sold their house for $5000 more that I was going to ask. I had to have an additional repair done and called the next week to go forward with the listing and was told that she couldn't find the pictures she took and didn't remember what we had agreed on for the asking price and would have to come out again in 2 days. I requested that she come the next day and she did. I increased the asking price by another $5000. The house sold in a day for over the asking price. Once that happened, I was assigned a closing coordinator. I think there was a lack of communications in this area. I got an introductory call and email but after that had a hard time getting her on the phone if I had a question or wanted to know the status during the due diligence period. If she had provided me with the information, I wouldn't have had to call. Everything was by email and mainly when she needed some information. She even emailed me that she would call me and then never did. After the final walk through the day before the closing, I got an EMAIL at 9:30PM saying that 2 items had not been done and would need to be before closing the next day. Their website says that the coordinator will coordinate repairs but that was never offered. They did recommend a window replacement man earlier but I coordinated him coming to the house. I chose to sign the papers a day before the actual closing. The attorney asked me who would come to sign the hud statement for me. I called her to find out, no answer, I emailed her and the listing agent and the closing coordinator did call back but to find out what time the closing was and said she would be there. The listing agent did a good job. I don't think there was much "follow-up and communication during the contract phase" as stated on their website. They should state that they do most everything by email. I don't think the closing coordinator "represented my best interests throughout to closing" as stated on their website. She did take care of the paper work. I realize that this was a flat fee service but that's no excuse for not providing good customer service during the contract phase.
Description of Work: List house, coordinate closing.

Response from Carolinas Choice Real Estate
I'm very sorry that your expectations were not met by me. We try to make it very clear prior to listing with our firm that the majority of our communication is via email. With the volume of business that we do, it is not possible to have a 20 minute conversation with everyone, when we are dealing with 60+ transactions under contract at a given time. Email is by far the most efficient way for us to do business, and for a business model like ours, we have to work smart. I did communicate by phone when it was important and necessary. We had an hour long phone conversation discussing minor repairs and recommending contractors and a plan of action. As for the final walk through, you were adamant that it not happen until at least 5:00 pm the evening before closing. I was notified at 9:15 pm of the repairs that weren't done, and forwarded the note at 9:31 pm. I am usually in bed by then, and not comfortable calling clients that late at night. We do coordinate repairs, however we are not a concierge service. I am happy to recommend contractors and advice based on each unique situation, but there is no way we can physically schedule every estimate and repair to be done. The closing attorney was incredibly unprepared, to the point that he requested seller information the day prior to closing (normally done weeks in advance; I already knew it would be needed and had you complete a generic information request form and sent it to his office a week prior to closing). The attorney did not see the note clearly written on the information request form that I would be attending closing. That information (along with a lot of your other questions) was included in the original email I sent out and followed up with a phone call when the contract was first written and the file passed to me. Again, I apologize for not meeting your expectations and not setting the proper expectations with you on how our services works. Courtney Wilson, closing coordinator in this specific transaction and co-owner.

He is the broker and realtor there. This was the fifth time I've worked with him. When he lists a home, he does just a flat price of $1,000 for full service. He takes the pictures of the home and gets it on MLS. He is a full service listing agent with a flat rate of $1,000. When the sale goes through he doesn't take any percentage of that. Of course, if he does a great job, hopefully you will use him as your buying agent and that is a normal transaction. I've used him as my buying agent and it was one of the best difficult closings he or the real estate lawyer had ever seen. I really don't think it would have worked out without his help. There were some complicated things that had to be dealt with during the transaction and leading up to it. I wouldn't trust anyone else to know real estate like he does.
Description of Work: I used David Wilson with Carolinas Choice Real Estate for my real estate agent.

I've saved thousands of dollars using Carolinas Choice on two real estate transactions. Once home was listed, buyer agents called into the call center, set up an appointment to view home and dealt directly with me if there were questions or were ready to make an offer. Excellent service to use and the best kept secret in the Triangle real estate market. Never a need to use a full service agent again unless you absolutely need the hand holding for 2.5%.
Description of Work: Hired Carolinas Choice to list my home for $199. I had previously used the services of David Wilson years earlier and sold my home within 2 weeks. Met with David who took photos of home and listed on Triangle MLS. This time home was under contract in less than 30 days.

The program works well. If you can live with email communications, don't need a weekly personal update, and want to save some real money., this is for you. Remember you are paying for a discount listing service, so don't expect someone to hold you hand. If you want that, you will need to engage a full-service broker to be happy.
Description of Work: We listed our home and an investment property and they both were sold. The program really works and full-service brokers can not compete. Everything is delivered as promised

House was sold in nine days and all negotiations were handled very professionally. We could not have been more pleased highly recommend David to anyone who wants to sell their house without the ridiculous fees charged by other agents.
Description of Work: David listed our house and handled all negotiations for a flat fee of $1000.
