Used smart choice realty for the first time for selling and also purchasing my new home. They were very helpful along the way, very enthusiastic and personable. Samara and her team especially Kristen we're spot on. High recommend.
Samara and her team made selling our home an actual treat. She helped us know exactly where to focus before listing to maximize our potential. Since we re moving out of state we couldn t use her team to purchase a new home, but the over $5000 we saved only paying a 1% fee has been a huge help in our...
Extremely happy with Smart Choice! A very knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and detail oriented group of people. It truly was a "Smart Choice".
I had very narrow requirements, and Tracy Sease helped me find a house that met what I needed. I used SmartChoice to sell then buy. Great experience both ways!
No service. We spoke to our realtor once when we listed and never saw her again. Our home did not sell with this agency. We didn't receive any feedback or guidance, and ended up taking our home off the market.
Using Smart Choice was indeed a "smart choice" both financially and logistically. The staff made selling my house seamless -- from the guidance received before, during, and after the sale. Each staff member was an expert in their own area -- sales, closing, and administration. I saved over $13,000 b...
Smart Choice helped us sell our home in less than acweek for asking price. Nicole Deluca was amazing. She helped us find the home of our dreams. She provided great communication between us and the seller realtor, which was not easy at times. We can even say we made a friend out of the deal. Smart Ch...
After attempting "For Sale By Owner" to no avail in selling our home, we chose Smart Choice as our realtor. The experience was excellent with friendly and professional staff. The process was easy once we understood the steps we needed to take. Selling a home is way more stressful than we expected...
From the time of our in home consultation till our home sold, was a total of 5 days... with multiple offers! The entire staff at Smart Choice Realty made our home selling experience one of excellence. Would definitely use them again and will refer them to friends.
Smart Choice Realty just helped us buy our second home in Wake Forest. Samara and her team are an absolute pleasure to work with.
Smart Choice did a great job helping me sell my Wake Forest home. I'd recommend them to anyone who is looking for top notch service, coupled with tremendous savings. The entire Smart Choice Team certainly exceeded all expectations and made what can be a very stressful process...a very easy and deli...
Last spring it became I realized that I should retire earlier than I planned. We decided to sell our home and move from Raleigh. I have known Samara Pressley for years and she was the first person I contacted. She came to my home and made recommendations how to get it ready to sell. We had lived in ...
Smart Choice Realty really is a smart choice. The real estate landscape has changed due to technology & Smart Choice has adapted to it. Why pay another firm the archaic commission structure when selling your home? Samara & team provide a full service experience at a fraction of the cost. Highly ...
Samara's team was great. She shared some statistics when we first met that most sales occur in about 31 days and homes sale for somewhere around 98% of list price. She was right on target with those numbers. Everything was made to very smooth and easy....and she saved me lots of money compared to ot...
One of the smartest things we ever did was to use Smart Choice Realty to sell our house. It sold in one week and we were very happy with the entire experience. Jessica guided us through the whole process, explained everything (sometimes multiple times!) and gave us great advice. She was patient w...
We could not have been happier with our experience with Smart Choice Realty.
I admit to being hesitant at first over the flat fee aspect, and when I understood how much money we stood to save I thought there was probably some catch at some point. But I was wrong - there is no catch at all and the...
Our family had been looking for a lovely home for a WHILE and wasn't having any luck. We decided to contact Smart Choice Realty where we had the pleasure to work with an amazing Realtor named Susan Brown. She was wonderful, no matter what we needed she was there beside us EVERY STEP of the way. We c...
When we decided to move closer to family, we had the tough choice of who to call to sell our home. We were recommended to Samara and Smart Choice by our lender, Michael Martin (Martin Mortgage Group) with Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp, so we knew had to be great. We weren't disappointed. She di...
Smart Choice was the best choice we've made. We bought a house and quickly outgrew it - too quickly. We knew we would lose money because of the quick turnaround, but we couldn't stay in the at house even a few more months. Looking for options, we found Smart Choice and thought we'd go for it. Since ...
There is no better way to sell your house at a flat rate with excellent customer service and wonderful people to work with! The folks at Smart Choice Realty answered all our questions promptly. We saved thousands of dollars working with them, thanks.
I am a remodeling professional and have had the opportunity to refer several customers and 2 relatives to Smart Choice Realty. She has helped all of them sell their houses and really does provide full service for a flat fee. Smart Choice has also helped my Aunt and Uncle find a new home in Raleigh...
Jaymi was great throughout the whole process of buying our first home as a couple. We were lucky to find the home of our dreams the first day we went to look...what are the odds!! Jaymi was super helpful in making very difficult decisions More
Samara is fantastic! Full service selling services including MLS listing at less than 30% of the full price realtors. Most discount brokers list you and then you never hear from them again. Smart Choice treats you as well as any full service realtor, helps you stage your house, take pictures, instal...
We interviewed 4 different Realtors before deciding on Smart Choice. Sam exceeded all of our expectations. We had previously delt with sales in Atlanta, Winston-Salem and Raleigh. Sam s team are the best!
Samara and Jessica were great throughout the whole transaction. Within a week, we had 4 offers on the table! They responded quickly to all questions and concerns and made a potentially stressful process smooth as can be. Would definitely recommend them to anyone and will use them again in the fut...
Using Smart Choice Realty to help sell my home was a decision I will never regret.

Selling can cost a lot of money, but Smart choice made it inexpensive with having to sacrifice service! Highly recommend them if selling your home.
As a seller, this was the way to go. Samara and Lisa were outstanding in every way. From the listing appointment through closing they provided excellent service. They took great photos, were very response when contacted, and facilitated a sale and signed contract within days. Bottom line: We saved ...
Finally a real estate agent that's keeping up with technology and charges reasonably instead of gouging you using an outdated business model. Samara and Jessica were meticulous and did everything an agent that charges you a percentage would do but did it for a reasonable flat fee. Hope to see more...
USING SMART CHOICE REALTY IS NOT A SMART CHOICE!
I am posting this complaint to help all future real estate buyers and sellers avoid the stress and incompetence that I experienced with Smart Choice Realty. As I prepared to sell my home, I interviewed three different real estate companies to repre...
Smart Choice was a great choice for us! Samara and her entire team were a pleasure to work with. Samara's list price suggestion was dead-on (and what we had independently determined). We had numerous showings and a couple of offers for our Raleigh home within 15 days. Staff was always available when...
The team at Smart Choice Realty included very professional staff members who were able to quickly answer questions, present appropriate offers, and kept on task during the process. We were very pleased - Less than 2 months between listing and closing!!!

I met Samara at a networking meeting and thought the $1000 flat fee to sell our home was too good to be true. Samara and her team sold our house in less than a month when other homes in our neighborhood have been on the market for over 6 months or more. The whole process went very smoothly and Jes...
Angie was so helpful! She was available at all hours, and went above and beyond to sell our home quickly. She gave us great advice during the selling process, and genuinely listened to our requests and concerns. We highly recommend her!

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Smart Choice Realty! The entire team was great and was always available to us to answer our questions. Buying and selling a home is such a stressful process, but the help and advice we got from the Smart Choice team was indispensable.
We especially ...
I tried listing with another firm and wasn't able to sell. The next year, I decided to give Smart Choice a try instead and I'm glad I did. It wasn't an easy sale, but they helped make it as smooth as it could be. Samara and her team were absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend them.
You could not ask for a better experience selling a home ! They made it so easy . I had a full ask offer in less than 48 hrs of placing my home on the market. The customer service was exceptional. They handled all the details at a fraction of the cost . I would highly recommend this team and the ser...
Smart Choice helped me sell my North Hills home in only 4 days with multiple offers. They also saved me over $8,000 in listing fees. Samara and her team are easy to work with, have a good understanding of the market, and I would encourage any that needs a realtor to check them out!
Samara and team were great. They helped every step of the way with advice and suggestions that ultimately helped sell our house faster. I would not hesitate to use them again if I was in the market to buy or sell again.
Samara and Smart Choice Realty are an amazing resource when buying or selling a home. They have an amazing team and process that takes the anxiety out of relocating. Highly recommend!

Samara and her team are wonderful. They provided a very professional service at a greatly reduced cost. They sold our house quickly and painlessly all while giving sage advice during the process. We would use Smart Choice again without question.
Jo Ann assisted us in selling an investment home in 2016 and the whole process was seamless. The excellent service and prompt attention was the reason for our choosing them again in January of this year for the sell of another property!
The entire team at Smart Choice was a pleasure to work with. I've work with many agents in our various moves around the country and Smart Choice would be at the top! They are a must add to your list of agents you are considering to work with, the most honest and professional group you will find. Ca...
Smart Choice lived up to its name and reputation in our neighborhood for providing the services needed to sell our home quickly.

Just closed on both the sale of my previous home and the purchase of my new home this past Friday. The whole team did a great job of taking care of us by getting our home sold in just two weeks and finding a home that we love in a market that was very limited. We used Smart Choice's preferred lender...

By the time a friend recommended them to sell our house, we had already contracted someone to buy a house, or we would have used her for both and taken advantage of their policy of 1% OR $10...
You get what you pay for. The second star was for Joann because she was always nice. I have no idea what all these 5 star reviews are talking about.
