Testimonials

Smart Choice Realty was great. Samara, the listing specialist, shared some statistics when we first met that most sales occur in about 31 days and homes sell for somewhere around 98% of list price. She was right on target with those numbers. Everything was made to very smooth and easy….and they saved me lots of money compared to other realtors. Thanks for the help!

Samara and the team were wonderful in the sale of our home. Smart Choice Realty not only saves you thousands of dollars, but they also treat you like royalty through the entire buying and selling process.

Thank You for your service and assistance in selling our home in Louisburg. We had multiple contracts within the first three days of our listing with Smart Choice Realty. The process was simplified significantly by the ability to use the online service throughout the process to include our closing. Smart Choice saved us over $3,000 compared to other Real Estate Businesses. Friendly, helpful service was available throughout. Thank You, Smart Choice Realty!!!!

I had a wondeful experience with Tracy Sease with smart choice realty. She helped us negotiate and work with a difficult situation in buying our home! She went above and beyond and was a lot of fun to work with!

We’ve bought and sold two homes with Samara, Tracy, and the team at Smart Choice. They are thorough and responsive, and accurately priced our homes for the market.  During our last purchase, she worked hard to ensure our offer sealed the deal when the seller was having second thoughts.  She also  got us 10k more than our asking price on a home we’d only owned for one year!  With three children, house hunting wasn’t easy, but she went the extra mile to work around our strange schedule and even met us at 7:30 one morning to show us a home. Sam and her team are professional yet relatable at all times, allowing both sides to speak candidly about expectations, and there’s no other real estate team I would work with or recommend in the Triangle! -Cayce

We are so grateful to Samara, Tracy and Jo-Ann for their help, advice and efficient attention to detail on the successful and speedy sale of our house.

The whole process was smooth, they answered our many questions and they made our lives easy through what can be a very stressful time.


We thoroughly recommend you go to Smart Choice before looking elsewhere.  They are professional, knowledgeable, they get the job done and they save you money.
