Fantastic experience: We can't say enough great things about Laura! She worked with us for over a year to find exactly the right house. When it came time to buy, she helped us every step of the way and when it came time to sell she was also right there with us - she made everything so easy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Fuquay Varina area.
Fantastic experience: I had an exceptional experience working with Front Porch Realty. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to understanding my needs. Their in-depth knowledge of the local market and attention to detail ensured I was well-informed and confident throughout the entire process. The agents at Front Porch Realty were highly responsive, proactive, and attentive to every aspect of the transaction. They provided valuable insights, negotiated effectively on my behalf, and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Their dedication to client satisfaction truly sets them apart. I highly recommend Front Porch Realty to anyone seeking a reliable, knowledgeable, and dedicated real estate partner. Their professionalism and personalized service exceeded my expectations, and I am grateful for their support in achieving my real estate goals.
Fantastic experience: Came across Front Porch Realty by searching Realtor Offices in the area. I found them because of their 5 star ⭐️ reviews. Called them and Donya Clark reached out and set me up with searches. The process took 2 months to find the right property and get it. Donya not only steered me in the right direction, she also gave me her opinion on the area and what property would be a good investment. She always gave me the opinion I needed not the one I wanted, which is good. She always listened carefully but also would act in my defense when she would catch inconsistencies in contracts, what’s being told to me or things we would catch in property walk throughs. Donya is amazing and so nice. She’s down to earth and easy to talk with. She knows the area well and will not steer you wrong. I wish I would have found her sooner. But we ended up finding the right property. Thank you Donya for the help. If you are reading this, you’re in the right place and they will steer you correctly in the process. I’ve worked with many realtors all over the US, and let me tell you this place is it. I’m team Donya!
Fantastic experience: Donya Clark at Front Porch Realty is amazing! My wife and I worked with her over the course of nearly a year as we navigated the process of buying a new construction home from out of state. She made appointments for all the homes we looked at, was on top of scheduling all of the inspections and things that needed to be done, and helped us make sure all our ducks were in a row throughout the process. She was also a great resource for the local area and gave us suggestions and ideas on where to look for all the things that involve an out of state move. Her recommendations have always turned out great. She’s responsive and a friendly and courteous person to work with. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: With short notice Front Porch Realty (FPR) was able to secure our requested showings and secured a few more based upon our brief conversations. After viewing the 10 homes we made an offer on one—which was one that our FPR agent found for us. Our FPR Agent proved to be a good listener and advisor throughout our quick process—and, even after the Closing…
Fantastic experience: We worked with real estate agent Donya Clark of Front Porch Realty who was referred to us via our mortgage lender. We have properties in AZ, OR, and CA. This was our first time purchasing in North Carolina and Donya was both professional and knowledgeable on this front. She has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to purchasing in NC and answered all our questions and concerns in a timely manner. In addition, she was even willing to go out to our property and take pictures while we were still living in Oregon, so we could see the progression of the property being built and how the fixtures, flooring, kitchen, etcera, were all coming together. I would highly recommend Front Porch Realty and Donya Clark to represent you if you are in the market for a real estate team in the Raleigh area!
Fantastic experience: Donya was very knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and thoughtful. She truly cares about making sure you're buying the right home and considers your needs as a person/family. She went above and beyond for us. She was there for every inspection, walk through, and closing. She was available any time when I texted her with a million questions as a first time home buyer, and was always very quick to respond. She explained the entire process thoroughly, and in a way I could understand with no experience going into this. I highly recommend anyone to Donya at Front Porch Realty and I will be going back to her if I ever have any other home buying or selling needs.
Negative experience: This is probably the worst experience with real estate transaction I’ve come across Never work with Tomeka Mims. I negotiated 0.75 % of the sale to be paid back to me at closing. She typed it up in a manner that I thought was correct according to all email exchanges. It wasn’t. It was just for .75% of her commission, which was $67.40. When asked to correct it, she denied the text exchange and her BIC, Laura, was supporting the lie. NC Real Estate commission is now involved and hopefully will be revoking licenses. Steer clear of this agency. Zero stars would be more adequate.
Fantastic experience: Thank You Front Porch Realty for showing us our dream home!! We live in a beautiful area now thanks to Laura!
Fantastic experience: I recently had the opportunity to work with Laura for the purchase of our home. We had a wonderful, seamless experience. Her guidance and suggestions were greatly appreciated. She was always available to answer my questions, from finding a home to post-closing! I couldn’t have had a better experience and highly, highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Donya is amazing! So personable, understanding and overall a great realtor. She is on your side every step of the way and she made the home buying process a lot easier and fun. I’d recommend her to anyone buying or selling their home. You won’t regret choosing Donya and the front porch realty team.
Negative experience: Called to ask about renting space, and was not given any info or offered help. The lady on the phone seemed annoyed at my call.
Fantastic experience: Iris Abrams, at Front Porch Realty, did a wonderful job listing our home and then completing all the Sellers paperwork. Iris is very professional and I highly recommend her if you want to sell or buy a home. Great experience all around.
Fantastic experience: Being from Massachusetts and not knowing anyone in the area it was pure luck that I found Front Porch realty. I had the pleasure of working with Iris Abrams and couldn’t of been happier. She worked tirelessly helping me find a home. Besides her dedication to her job you could see she was a people person. Right from the start she was there for anything one might encounter offering her help in anyway possible. We’d like to think of her as more than our agent. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking in the area.
Fantastic experience: Front Porch Realty has been an excellent team to work with. Laura was the listing agent for our home and made the selling process smooth and seamless. We had an offer on our house while we were still in the coming soon stage of selling. We also used Front Porch Realty to buy our next home. Donya Clark was fantastic. She was very responsive, listened to our concerns and extremely supportive through the whole building and buying process. I highly recommend their team if you need a realtor. We will definitely use their services again if we are ever need to buy or sell a house in the future.
Fantastic experience: Laura made our first time home buying experience go so smoothly. She provided immense support, answered all our questions and was part of our team when working with others involved in the process. Highly recommend Laura and Front Porch Realty!
Fantastic experience: Laura was amazing to work with! We were first time homebuyers and we leaned on her a lot when we had questions about anything! Will refer her to anyone I know that is looking to buy a home.
Fantastic experience: Highly Recommend ! Just closed on a third real estate transaction with Front Porch Realty. Donya Clark took time to answer my questions and made sure I understood the process. She acted in a timely and professional manner.
Fantastic experience: Front Porch Realty was great from the get go. We received an email within hours of talking with our loan officer initially. Melissa Zappia is so wonderful. She was very responsive, professional, and so much fun to work with. She listened to our must haves in our dream home and definitely delivered. We decided to go with a house that was in the process of being built and Melissa was with us every step of the way. When our closing date was delayed multiple times, Melissa went to bat for us and made sure that we were taken care of. I could go on and on about Melissa and I can’t say enough positive things about her. Thank you so much Front Porch Realty and thank you Melissa!!
Fantastic experience: After recently deciding to sell our property, we contacted Teresa Ennis of Front Porch Realty. Teresa was great to work with and we were very pleased with our experience. She was always responsive to our calls, questions and very knowledgeable in explaining the process to us. In fact, this is the second time we have worked with Teresa at Front Porch Realty in selling property. We were very pleased and highly recommend Teresa! She is a true professional and has a wonderful demeanor.
Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of working with Donya Clark recently and she was wonderful! Very responsive, attentive, knowledgeable and fun to work with. If you’re looking for a realtor, ask for Donya. You won’t be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: Laura of Front Porch Realty did a beautiful job helping my parents sell their home. She gave us achievable goals for staging the home to look attractive to buyers. She gave us a perfectly "tuned" asking price which was appropriate for the homes strengths and limitations. She crafted a beautiful description of the property, hired a great photographer, and strategically timed the "coming soon" and listing days. We showed the house for 2 days and we received 5 offers from the first day of showings. She facilitated the closing for us with options to make it easy for my parents. We highly recommend Laura and her team to help you sell your home!!
Fantastic experience: Laura was very helpful going above and beyond at times! We were very happy with her professionalism and knowledge and recommend her and Front Porch Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Fantastic experience: It had been 17 years since we bought a home and did not have an idea of who to really trust in this endeavor. My wife and I had the best experience with Front Porch Realty! Our contact and saving grace was Donya Clark! She was very pleasant, knowledgeable and fun to work with during our "forever" home buying process. The touch of professionalism and personal investment with us went a long way and was very much appreciated. Front Porch Realty is a business that I would definitely recommend to my family and friends.
Fantastic experience: Laura Moody was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! Made the sale so convenient and simple! Did all the leg work and went above and beyond to bring any paper work to my home!! HIGHLY recommend!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I used Donya for our home buying experience and she was wonderful. She answered all of our questions and listened to what we were looking for. I would HIGHLY recommend her to all my friends and family looking for a home. Best realtor around!! Thank you Donya for all your help, you rock!
Fantastic experience: Marsha did a great job throughout the entire process of finding and purchasing a property for our business. Would definitely recommend her as both a private and business real estate agent!
Fantastic experience: Me and my wife recently worked with Donya Clark. We couldn’t of had a more pleasant experience with selling our home. She was reliable, easy to work with, extremely responsive, and willing to answer any question we presented her with! 10/10
Fantastic experience: My husband and I have nothing but great things to say about our realtor and this company. Donya was very responsive and helpful in an extremely competitive market. She kept our best interest in mind and helped us with every question and recommendation along the way. We would recommend her to anybody close to us! I cannot say thank you enough for everything!
Fantastic experience: This is the second time we've used Front Porch Realty and Laura as our agent when purchasing a home. We've bought quite a few primary and rental properties during the past 30 years and Laura is by far one of the best, if not the best, agent we've had.
Fantastic experience: Dave helped me and my Fiancee find our dream home. He showed us the processes to help us get through everything. He was knowledgeable and very helpful. He called and answered all of our question any time of day or night and went above and beyond to make everything work. He really made our dreams come true. Thanks Dave
Fantastic experience: Houses sell so fast right now but Donya was able to find us the home we dreamed of! She provided us with great advise throughout the purchasing process and we are so pleased with our experience that we will be recommending Front Porch Realty to all of our friends and family that are looking to purchase a home!
Fantastic experience: Donya Clark was our realtor when we moved to NC and needed to buy a house. Donya was always willing to make the drive to wherever the house was that we wanted to look at. She is very professional and the people working there were always helpful and nice. We are very happy with Donya and we would recommend her and Front Porch Realty for anyone buying or selling a house!
Fantastic experience: Everything about my experience working with Cheryl at Front Porch Realty was fantastic. She made what could be a daunting process very manageable and welcomed us first time home buyers with warmth and kindness. If only everyone was as good at their jobs as Cheryl, and this world would be a much more efficient place. We recommend her without reservation!
Bree, so glad that Cheryl took such good care of you and made this such pleasant experience for you! Congratulations on your first new home! Many blessings!
Fantastic experience: Annie was amazing and extremely helpful. She provided us with the information we needed to make an informed choice on pricing our house and made sure that we understood every step of the process. Her availability to answer questions and to oversee as needed was extremely helpful as well a relief since we moved out of town during the selling process. I appreciate her professionalism that she displayed at all times and her friendliness and honesty made trusting her with this event so much easier.
Thank you for allowing Annie and Front Porch Realty to help you with this important move. Best wishes in your new home!
Fantastic experience: Best real estate agent I've ever worked with. Knowledgeable, professional, and very responsive. Highly recommended.
So glad Melissa was able to take such good care of you. Congratulations!
Fantastic experience: Donya is very knowledgeable, helpful and responsive. Pleasant experience.
Stephen, so glad we could help you through this process!
Fantastic experience: The best experience ever. Laura went out of her way to make our closing seamless.
Thank you Mary for your trust and business. We truly appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: We have used Front Porch Realty and Annie Thieret for both buying and selling the same home. Annie is AMAZING, incredibly responsive to questions and requests, professional, thorough, and friendly. She always looked out for us and negotiated incredibly well. She is the best agent we have ever worked with hands-down. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Thank you Tara, for allowing Annie and Front Porch Realty to be a part of the time and years in that home!
Fantastic experience: It was a great pleasure working with them for my home, Laura had great knowledge of fuquay-Varina which is why I picked her, she helped me with with exactly what I wanted but also let me know a bunch of different options available for me, overall between her and my lender it was a great relationship, I highly recommend, one of my favorite things is that she was very honest about each house as we toured it together, like if it was outdated, or needed new paint, or if it was very modern and a very popular fit for an easy re-sale which was my number 1 concern. If it makes a difference, I’d choose Laura and her team to help me or my family any day
Thank you Briggs! We love selling our hometown of Fuquay-Varina!
Fantastic experience: Donya Clark was amazing to work with. She had so much patient working with me. She knew what I was looking for in a house. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house. She is awesome. Thanks Donya for all you did.
Thank you Cynthia for trusting us to help you!
Fantastic experience: Our realtor, Dave Matthews, was very professional and assisted us through and even after the sale of our house. He was always available to answer questions and help us navigate the sale of our house and the purchase of our new house. We recommend him highly.
So glad Dave was able to help you :) We appreciate your business!
Fantastic experience: Melissa was amazing to work with! She was funny and made everything easy to understand and enjoyable! Would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house. We have actually sent a few people her way already! Awesome experience!!
Thank you for choosing to work with Melissa and Front Porch Realty, we count it as a privilege!
Fantastic experience: Front Porch realty was amazing to work with. Our agent, Donya, went above and beyond for us in our home buying process. From providing never ending support throughout the process, to answering any questions we had as first time home buyers, Donya was amazing. She is very friendly and relatable and makes the whole process as smooth as can be and keeps you fully informed on every matter throughout the process. I am so glad we got to work with her!
Congratulations Kayla! We love helping first time home buyers!
Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly staff. I've only attended when our Town's Chamber had an event there. However, they are on the top if their game when it comes to helping you find your dream home!
Fantastic experience: Laura was our realtor and she was amazing! We were first time homebuyers so we were ignorant to a lot of things and she took the time to spell it out for us and gave her honest opinion about location, quality, and pricing. She was timely with finding houses that met our semi picky requirements. I highly recommend Front Porch Realty. We intend on using them (specifically Laura) in the future realty endeavors
Thank you Olivia! We love to educate our clients!
Fantastic experience: I don't give out 5 stars very often but Front Porch really did a fantastic job and helped me find the house I really love. They were in constant contact and always had answers for my questions and had helpful advice for a first time home buyer such as myself. Thank you very much!!!
Thank you Will! So glad we are thrilled to have been a part of this process with you!
Fantastic experience: Laura and her team were wonderful. We felt like we were dealing with family. Our questions were answered honestly and the advice was spot on! I highly recommend Front Porch Realty.
Thank you Jim!
Negative experience: Real estate transactions are complicated. When hiring a buyers agent, they are being paid to protect their client and playing "lawyer" by giving advice. I did not experience this protection in my home purchase. My agent was timely only in the house hunting process. After the offer was signed, most of the communication was through text and 'docu-sign'. When I asked questions about the contract, she was not knowledgable and minimized my questions by blowing off my concerns. After getting the keys to the property, there was water damage from the HVAC unit, which failed inspection and was to be serviced as part of the due diligence. After escrow closed and the damages were revealed, my agent (Paula Andersen) and the Broker in Charge (Laura Moody) ignored my questions when I asked who was responsible to pay for the damages. I have been forced to deal with the sellers agent directly, who was not motivated to support me at all, as they are trying to avoid a lawsuit. Front Porch Realty's refusal to even try to help indicates that they never really cared about me, and were obviously only interested in the commission. If you want representation for the most important purchase of your life, this is NOT the agency that will help you.
We are very sorry that you do not feel you were well represented J B. We were not aware that your concern after closing had not been handled to your satisfaction. Neither I, nor your agent, Paula, have ignored any questions from you. Please let us know if there is something we can help you with.
Fantastic experience: Family carrillo is amazing with Maria Plaza service making a big step is not easy but with her help it made it so helpful and less stressful Really recommend her services!!
Fantastic experience: My experience with the agents at Front Porch Realty has been remarkable.
Negative experience: I'll make this short and sweet my parents where trying to buy a home and not being first time buyers they know a bit of what it is that they want and ask them to show them some of the properties that they like but every time the agent would tell them that it was sold and the seller had sold it for way too much over the asking price witch we understood then they keep showing then homes that they has under them but they kept telling my parents that the only way they would get that home was if the offer 5k to 10k pver asking price and for them to cover the closing cost they decided to put an offer for a home that they got mussle in to buying they continued to signing a contract for three months with them my dad decided to not buy the home and back away from the sell at a cost and he knew that so he pay it pay for the inspection and all but my dad wants a new realtor because he's not really getting what he wants with her and ask to null the buyer seller contract and she told him that the only way for her to null the contract is if he pays somewhere around 5k for her to vanbevell the contract witch is due till the end of October we have seen better cheaper homes online but we can't do anything bc we have a contract now with her We know all cases are not the same but don't force people to buy your homes if that's not what they really want ask around first to make sure you don't have to go through what we have to go through
We are very sorry your parents did not feel they were well served by their agent; the owner has offered to match them up with another agent however they declined.
Fantastic experience: My experience with front porch realty was unbelievable. First time homebuyers and we had the best realtor anyone could ask for DONYA CLARK we love her. She made sure everything and i mean EVERYTHING was in place and made sure everything was explained to us like we needed it and we moved into our first home almost 2 months ago. Id vote for Donya anyday for any of my family and friends to have her as their agent.She knows the market and she can answer any question you may have. She's not only a good agent but shes a very very sweet person i spoke with everyday throughout our homebuying process and once i closed on my home it felt like i was missing a family member thanks alot Donya !!! Go to Front Porch realty of fuquay-varina nc, and ask for Donya Clark !!
Fantastic experience: Lisa Notini was great for us. Knows the market and knows how to sell a home. Cannot go wrong. Worked with us until we found just the right property and didn't mind showing us a zillion!
Fantastic experience: Laura and her team have helped me sell many properties in the Fuquay area. I really enjoy working with an agency that goes above and beyond what's expected.
Fantastic experience: Laura, Annie and the team at Front Porch are top notch and very professional. The best independent agency in South West Wake County.
