• • "Katie was excellent."

    —Jim | Agent: Katie Joyce

• • "This is a high quality organization that works swiftly, effectively, and reliably. They are always efficient and professional, in all aspects of the process of buying and selling a home. Sudi Swirles sold us our first home in 2007, helped us find our second home to fit our growing family, and then sold our first home in a matter of days. She guided us expertly through every aspect of the process, was hands on and thorough, but was never pushy. She deftly intuits what you want and need in a house and helps you find it. I very highly recommend them!"

    —Ellen | Agent: Sudi Swirles

    —Elizabeth | Agent: Laurie Myer

• • "Laurie was superb!"

    —Sharon | Agent: Laurie Hutchings

• • "We worked with Dede Hall for both selling a unit in May 2018 and then purchasing our new place in February 2019. In selling our old place Dede was expert in working with the tenants who were renting from me, and they commented to me how pleasant Dede was. Dede was great working with us, and incredibly patient, in helping us find what we wanted - rather than trying to sell us on something we didn't want. We're in love with our new place, and would wholeheartedly recommended Dede for any part of a real estate transaction."

    —Matthew | Agent: Dede Hall

    —Shelby | Agent: Todd Cromer

• • "Todd and Dede were fantastic agents! Always quick to respond to email/text, and took the time to explain each stage of the process. It was that education component that made me feel confident as they guided me through selling my townhouse. Definitely recommend them if you're buying or selling a house in the area."

    —Stuart | Agent: Todd Cromer & Dede Hall

• • "

    It was SUCH a pleasure to have Jamie as my realtor. As a first time home buyer, I was nervous about the experience and felt like I had a lot to learn. Jamie eased that worry throughout the process and provided me with so much helpful information not only about the homes we toured, but about the buying process. He was able to put information in terms I could easily understand, and I can without a doubt say that I never felt pushed by him to make a decision one way or another. He is honest, trust worthy, and demonstrated such patience as we navigated this process. Best of all- he has a GREAT sense of humor, and made the tours such a fun experience. He also made the paperwork process a breeze. He deserves the highest praise. I will recommend him to my family and friends- he is the best!

• • "

    Three of my close friends have had great experiences with James Howard as a realtor. They say that he is the most conscientious realtor they have ever dealt with. He kept them informed at each step and worked hard on their behalf. I’ve known James for twenty-four years and am very impressed with his honesty and candor. He is careful and thorough, direct and accurate. Everyone says he makes the experience of buying and selling enjoyable because of his insight and humor. He triple checks everything and you can count on the quality of his work. He is my go to person whenever someone wants a recommendation for a realtor. Real estate is his passion and he genuinely works for his clients. He will work hard so that you get what your property is worth and help you make an offer that’s supported by the market. He will help you stage your property and recommend repairs if you’re selling and advise you on issues concerning a property you’re interested in buying. He is realistic and practical.

    Considerate… Attentive… Organized… Diligent… Conscientious… Dedicated… Meticulous… Patient…

    There are just not enough accolades to describe the amazing job you have done from beginning to end with the sale of our house. There are also not enough words for us to adequately express our thanks for keeping us assured that the sale would actually take place!

    "

    —Dale and Betty | Agent: James Howard

• • "Katie Joyce is a terrific agent. She represented us nearly six years ago as we were buying a house, and just represented us again for selling the same house, hence we worked with her as both buyers and sellers. Katie knows the real estate business inside out. She knows the local market very well, works effectively with other agents, is facile with the nuances of rules and regulations, and is as nice as they come. We recommend her highly."

    —Kelly | Agent: Katie Joyce

• • "Good knowledge of market and very pleasant to work with."

    —Rebecca and Jason | Agent: Jane Phillips

• • "I was very satisfied with the whole process of the lead-up to the sale and the sale and results thereof. Katie made just the right suggestions for improving the property without spending too much and provided a wonderful workman. She is clearly very knowledgeable and helped us throughout the process. She even shopped for many of the extras to enhance out home."

    —Judith and Lewis | Agent: Jane Phillips

• • "Jane went above and beyond the call of duty on multiple occasions. The many value-added services she provided proved to be our saving grace. We have already recommended Jane! Even before we closed, we put Jane in contact with a friend looking to sell his house. The reasons were many, but in short, her genuine concern of her client’s best interest is evident in everything she does, her honesty and integrity showed in each interaction, her willingness to do what it takes to make things happen is amazing, and her professional knowledge and experience is what makes her a truly fantastic agent. All of the above, and more, make Jane a wonderful person and agent."

    —Jonathan | Agent: Jane Phillips

• • "Katie Joyce is experienced, mature and knowledgeable. She also has a calm and steady presence, a desirable and even necessary quality for dealing with a first-time home seller who has lived in the same house for 46 years! Katie was responsive to my questions and concerns and worked with me closely throughout the entire process, from first to last. She also treated me and my property with great respect, with full attention."

    —Judith | Agent: Katie Joyce

• • "I worked with Sudi twice while living in Durham. I cannot say enough good things about her. She knows the area exceptionally well. Even better, she lived near where I did and at one point probably 20 years ago had sold my house in another transaction! It was really just pure luck that I was introduced to her. She is professional, honest, incredibly easy to work with, resourceful, and gets the job done. In the two homes I sold with her help, both I got more than a 33% profit over my initial paid price and in both cases got offers above my asking price. The proof is in the numbers with Sudi. You cannot go wrong."

    —Jeremy | Agent: Sudi Swirles

• • "Sudi is definitely the BEST realtor I've used yet. She helped me purchase my first home when I was young and had no idea the trials and tribulations of real estate! About a year ago my family planned on moving and decided to go with another realtor not to be named. What a mistake! We spend thousands of dollars and over six months trying to close on a house that we never ended up purchasing. I went back to Sudi and asked for help purchasing our non traditional woods home and it was seamless. Even through a pre planned vacation Sudi was easy to contact and drove the bus on everything! We were charged with very little to do except make the difficult and stressful decision of what place we could build a home in, and for that I am eternally grateful. I wouldn't recommend another realtor in the area before Sudi. Do yourself a favor and start working with her before you cold call anyone else."

    —Kym | Agent: Sudi Swirles

• • "Great realtor with comprehensive knowledge of the Durham and Chapel Hill markets!! Helped us buy a house in Durham quickly in a very competitive market. Great advocate for the buyer!!! "

    —Linda | Agent: Sudi Swirles

• • "Susan was incredibly knowledgeable with all of the details throughout the entire process. Susan was able to connect us with great people during our inspection process that enabled us to move forward with confidence. Given we were moving from out of state, this was so helpful and appreciated."

    —Scott and Catherine | Agent: Susan Peak

• • "Excellent knowledge of market; Timely response; Very professional negotiations."

    —John and Melanie | Agent: Laurie Hutchings

• • "Susan's service is perfect! She listened, understood my needs, kept me posted, did a lot of “leg” work, was available when needed, explained all details, was encouraging, and handled my total house sale! Susan was great to work with and always a pleasure to see. "

    "

    —Joe and Amanda | Agent: Jane Phillips

• • "

    We have already recommended PSCP to our friends.  Katie Joyce was a pleasure to work with.  From the beginning, she gave us what proved to be sound advice about what we needed to do to make our home presentable in the most favorable light.  That advice was mostly about how to arrange things, what to have in sight, what to have out of sight.  Her advice was not to spend a lot of money up front other than replacing anything that was obviously broken.  Katie knows the process and expertly guided through what to expect in all aspects of setting price, making the house available for showing, negotiating the final price, working through due diligence, and preparation of the final paperwork.  She communicated with the buyers’ agent in a timely manner.

    "

    —David and Polly | Agent: Katie Joyce

• • "

    Dede cared so much about finding the right home and paid attention to my likes & dislikes that she could tell if I would like a property …on her knowledge of it & my taste(although she would never turn me down if I, sometimes wrongly, insisted on seeing a property).

    "

    —Charles | Agent: Dede Hall

• • "

    Dede has so much knowledge about the market, and always had the answer to our MANY questions. She’s a pleasure to work with. We had one week to look, and her preparation and organization were fantastic. 

    "

    —Mike and Melissa
 | Agent: Dede Hall

• • "Katie was the consummate professional throughout her interactions with us. She listened carefully to our concerns and always offered us objective and candid advice delivered in a most friendly and supportive manner. The advice she gave us on preparing our house for sale and on setting the asking  price was spot on, enabling us to sell our house at a great price the first day it was on the market. Katie managed the flow of all the necessary paperwork and handled the negotiations with the other realtors in a way that minimized the time and energy we had to spend on these issues -- a huge relief to us. We definitely give Katie high marks and would recommend her to anyone seeking a realtor."

    —dmwbutler | Agent: Katie Joyce
