Samara, Kenny and Angie are awesome people to work with, the process is thoroughly explained, they kept me well informed throughout and the best part is I saved thousands by using Smart Choice Realty to sell my home. Thanks guys, you are the best!!

jake fisher

I will recommend Smart Choice Realty to any and everybody! Not only did I save almost $9000!! My house was listed and under contract in under 36 hrs! I was truly blown away of how quick And easy it was. Samara/Kenny/Angie are truly the A-Team!! Selling a house can be stressful, and they were beyond helpful and a pleasure to work with every step of the way. If you’re looking to Sell or buy I wouldn’t recommend anyone other than Smart Choice Realty!

Response from the owner:Thanks Jake! We truly wish you well in your next chapter :-)

Martha Haley

We highly recommend Smart Choice Realty! They are very knowledgeable and responsive. Our house sold fast and they were there to help us every step of the way. Best yet, we saved big on commissions with their flat rate fee.

Response from the owner:Martha, it was our pleasure working with you & John! Thanks so much for trusting us with the sale of your home!

bigdaddy gator

Smart Choice Realty did a fantastic job for us when we listed our Raleigh townhouse. Samara (Sam) listened to us and gave excellent advice. With her help we got a very good offer which we accepted. By contrast, the selling agent was a bumbling fool.
List with Smart Choice and you will:
1. Save thousands of dollars ($16,000 in our case)
2. Get sound advice about selling your home.
3. Have excellent communication from the folks at Smart Choice.
We would recommend Smart Choice to any seller.

Response from the owner:Bob, you & Shannon were awesome to work with! Thanks so much for trusting our process and for the great review!

Bill Dougherty

When our neighbor used Smart Choice we saw how quickly her house received an offer and also noted that the realtor’s commission was a fixed amount. When we decided to sell, we contacted Smart Choice hoping for similar results. We were not disappointed. After five days we received an offer on our home. The whole experience was quite easy. The realtor stayed in contact with us throughout the process right up until Closing. We are now in our forever home and don’t plan on selling again; however, if we did, we would once again use Smart Choice Realty.

Response from the owner:We would definitely work with you and Betty again Bill, but so happy you're in your forever home to relax & enjoy life!

Andrew Mahoney

wow. so simple and fast. great communication from Kenny throughout the process.

Response from the owner:Thanks for working with us Andy, we appreciate your trust in our team!

Stan Wood

Samara and her team were unknown to us until we saw how we could possibly save a lot of money in reduced realtor commissions on her website. After calling them and meeting with her, we felt would be getting the same services as from a full fee realtor and we were right. Our sale was easy and quicker than I anticipated and we saved over $12,000. So unless you have thousands of extra dollars living around, why wouldn't you use a discount realtor as Smart Choice Realty. Think about it!

Stan Wood

Response from the owner:Thank you Stan. It was our pleasure to work with you and Karen!

Home Valuation FAQs

Valuations and appraisals are somewhat similar, although there are key differences. A valuation is a rigorous, professional estimate of your home’s value. It’s typically used to help you price your home as you’re preparing to sell it. An appraisal is equally rigorous, but it’s often conducted when you’re seeking financing or determining the property taxes for the home. Therefore, appraisals are often subject to a few more standards and regulations than valuations, and certified appraisers usually conduct them.

Certainly! There’s absolutely no pressure to sell when you have your home valuation. Even if you’re only thinking about selling, a valuation can help you get a clear picture of how much your home is worth at the present moment. It can even help you determine whether now is the right time to sell. Keep in mind that valuations can change over time, so it’s a good idea to have the home re-evaluated when you do decide to sell.

Online home estimators often used incomplete or outdated data. In short, they don’t have as full of a picture of your area’s real estate market as a real estate agent will. Smart Choice’s valuations use local data, property-specific details and expert insider knowledge to give you an accurate home valuation.

Countless factors can influence your home’s value, including its:

Size
Age
Condition and upkeep
Upgrades
Lot size
Location
Neighborhood

Local real estate market trends are also big factors in the valuation process. Our expert evaluators will know how to weigh all of these (and other) factors when determining your home’s value.

Most home price estimates are delivered within 24–48 hours after we receive your details. Feel free to reach out to us at (919) 322-0077 with any questions about the valuation process.
