Testimonials

"Sold in 13 days for our price"

"Friends from church told us about Neal. He shared with us some ideas on how to best present our home on the market. He found a buyer for our house in 13 days and helped us buy our next home for a fantastic price..."

-Derek and Heather Overton Concord, NC

"We stopped by one of Neal's listings and called his toll-free information hotline for further information. We then spoke with Neal directly and he offered to come out and give us an idea of what our house would sell for. Neal listed it and sold it within 3 days, for 97.3% of our asking price to the second couple who looked at it. We ended up purchasing one of his listings. Thanks Neal, for making our home selling and home buying experiences successful ones."

-Bill and Teresa Malone Concord, NC

"I listed my house with an agent from a large, independent firm in the area for 183 days (over 6 months) and it never sold. The agent stopped calling me with feedback and I was very frustrated since the purpose of my move was job-related. I needed to get my home sold quickly. I interviewed Neal and was very impressed with what he had to say. With Neal's help, my house sold in 3 days for 97.5% of my asking price. He stayed in touch with me throughout the whole transaction. What an improvement from my first agent! Thank you Neal, for helping me move on with my life by getting my house sold fast and at my price."

-Penny Gilpin Charlotte, NC

"We hired Neal to list our house after we tried to sell it two times before. Neal's marketing and communication in the process were exceptional. He kept us informed and saw that we received many showings on our home. When we found a buyer, Neal acted as a dual agent for both the buyers and us. He kept things rolling smoothly along to the closing. Neal sold our house for 100% of what we were asking in only 82 days. Thanks Neal, for doing what no one else could seem to manage."

-Richard and Susan McSorley Charlotte, NC

"We hired Neal because of his great presentation and marketing techniques. Our instincts were right! Neal sold our house in 15 days for 98.9% of asking price. Then he helped us find our new dream home. Thanks to Neal's help with negotiating, we bought it for $7,500 less than the sellers were asking, plus they paid $2,500 of our closing costs. That's $10,000 that Neal saved us!"

-Jeremy and Wendy Kelly Concord, NC

"We had our house listed with another agent for 119 days and it never sold. With his system, Neal sold our house in only 67 days for 97.2% of our asking price to a buyer he found on his own. We highly recommend Neal to anyone who wants to get top dollar for their home in a short time frame."

-Pat and Sue Szyslowski Charlotte, NC

"Our first agent tried unsuccessfully for 91 days without selling our house, then we hired Neal. Using his system, he sold our house in 30 days for 98.5% of our asking price. We already knew where we wanted to build our next house. We had even picked out the floor plan, but our plans were on hold until our current house sold. Neal made it possible for us to start building our dream house in the country."

-Bobby and Jennifer Guy Charlotte, NC

"We have worked with six real estate professionals in the past seven years and can honestly say that our experience with you has been the most positive. During our search for a real estate agent, we met with many good people who had standard marketing plans. However, yours was the most comprehensive, logical and unique...we were quickly impressed with your ability to implement each step of the plan."

-Steve and Donna Mazzarell Charlotte, NC
