What do Clients Say?
We can not recommend Allie enough as a real estate agent. We recently closed on a home in Chapel Hill and we are endlessly grateful for Allie's help to get us here. She was able to listen to our needs and never tried to waste our time on homes that weren't right for us. Since we are new to the east coast, Allie's deep expertise in our targeted area of Chapel Hill and UNC's campus was essential. She was available at all hours for questions and never pressured us to put an offer on a house even though we spent over a year with her. She's as diligent as it gets. Allie was incredibly honest and open with us, which helped guide us through tough decisions. I am positive we ended up with the exact best house for us thanks to her. You can't find better realtor than Allie: whether you're experienced in the market or are a first timer, Allie will take the time and care to help you find your home.
MB- Buyer
This will be our fifth home, and Allie is without a doubt the best realtor we have ever worked with (as a buyer or seller). She helped us with our lot selection, building plans, and supported us throughout the building process. We were doing everything while living over six hours away, and it was so comforting to know that Allie was keeping an eye on the process for us. She is patient, kind, diligent, detail oriented, and does whatever it takes to ensure that our needs are met. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Jenny Bryan- Buyer
I worked with Allie and found her to be extremely knowledgeable about real estate in Chapel Hill with 25 years of living in the area. As an added bonus, Allie was super pleasant to be with and we really enjoyed the time we spent with her. I would refer Allie to anyone and everyone looking to buy a house in Chapel Hill.
TK- Buyer
I have worked with Allie on the sale of two different properties. Both properties had their challenges and Allie went the extra mile to keep the process going forward, which allowed us to successfully close both properties in a timely manner. She helped to identify and coordinate contractors for surveying, soils analysis, and handling building repairs and updates. My entire experience with Allie has been positive and I am very comfortable recommending her to others.
