"We were supposed to close on 3/28/24. Steve wrote the appraisal on 3/8 my birthday. He told me the appraisal was sent in on 3/15. Our lender and real estate agent said they didn't receive the appraisal until 3/18-3/19 which was not done properly. I sent in my own comps as he was comparing a house in the country club area to ones in the ghetto as we bought in a small town that Steve isn't familiar with. He has now went on vacation during closing week after he told me anything sent via computer would be looked over. He will not respond to me or the lender as the revision appraisal is the only thing holding us back from closing. Me and my three children are going to be out on the streets homeless for Easter and all of next week due to negligence in taking on task you knew you couldn't preform. 10 out of 10 wouldn't recommend."

I am a full-time residential real estate agent with Fonville Morisey Realty. Please call, text or email me so that I might learn more about your specific needs. I work seven days a week and I would love to be of service. Also, there is a link on my website called "Helpful Videos" that answers some frequently asked questions and provides information on buying and selling residential real estate in NC. Thank you!

"David was astonishingly attentive to our needs. We engaged him to help sell our house several years before the retirement community we'd registered for could accommodate us. But even though he knew it would be a considerable period of time before our house could be listed, he made a point to visiting us periodically and informing us of the ins and outs of North Carolina real estate. He never expressed impatience (even as we felt impatient waiting for the retirement community to find a place for us). And thanks to his excellent advice, our house was sold within three days of being listed. From beginning to end, David was friendly, available, informative - in a word, a superb agent. I recommend him enthusiastically."

FAQs for real estate service projects in Wake Forest, NC

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.

Real estate agents work on commission, so the cost of hiring an agent will depend on the cost of the home you’re buying or selling. The listing contract should include information about the commission for both agents, which is usually 6 percent of the sale price in total or 3 percent per side. With an average national home value of around $440,000, the typical commission per agent is $13,200. However, you won’t pay this total out of pocket. Instead, the commission comes out of the sale price of the property.

Interviewing real estate agents is the best way to find the right person for the job. Consider asking the following questions to find the best agent for you:

  • How will you show my property?

  • Will you do open houses to market my home?

  • How will you handle dual agency (representing the buyer and you as the seller)?

  • Should I make repairs to my home before listing?

  • Will you get professional photos taken of my home?

  • What is the best price you think we can get for my property?

  • How long do you expect the sale to take?

You don’t legally need a real estate agent as a buyer, as you can represent yourself, but you should always hire an agent as a home buyer. A professional real estate agent will have access to local MLS services to find homes that meet your criteria and needs, can connect you with other professionals—like a mortgage broker and real estate attorney—you’ll need for the purchase, and can often negotiate a better price for your home to help save you money. Plus, as the buyer, your agent’s commission comes from the seller’s proceeds from the sale of the home.
