Shari did an outstanding job helping us sell my brother's house from his trust after he passed away! She made the process exceptionally simple. She helped us make some improvements to the property using her recommended vendors while we were out of state. She even staged and cleaned the property at no expense to us! I've been buying and selling homes for about 40 years, and Shari is by far the best residential real estate professional I have ever worked with! Gregg M. - Seller

" Shari Austin was a joy to work with! Outstanding client experience!! Always accessible, knowledgeable, and responsive, she helped us navigate a very difficult, rapidly changing Raleigh area market for a year, finding a beautiful, affordable, quality home. She never wavered through the entire process, getting us to the close seamlessly. Her team of co-workers and contacts helped us overcome some difficult, uncertain moments, ultimately giving us critical, time-sensitive information when we needed it most. She inspired confidence that we would find "the right home for us at the right time," using collaboration center updates, word of mouth, and relentlessly searching for a house that met our unique requirements. When crunch time came during negotiations, she offered sage advice that ultimately helped us win the bidding war we were up against! We are so glad that Shari was on our team, working tirelessly, professionally, and with our best interests in mind at all times. We give her a 5-star rating and enthusiastically recommend her as realtor for anyone serious about buying a property or home in the Raleigh area. Thank you, Shari for being so gracious, professional and patient! John & Mary S..- Buyer

"Working with Shari made all the difference when selling this house! She deserves every 5-star rating I can give her and then some! We found her to be very professional and kind from day one--I'm so glad we met her when we did! Shari was very familiar with the specific neighborhood as well as the overall area where the home was located. Once we were ready to list the home, she facilitated the process quickly. She understood what the house needed to make it attractive for buyers in this competitive market, while also respecting financial concerns given that it was an estate sale. Shari was very knowledgeable when it came to identifying and recommending necessary repairs and she was able to recommend vendors that were timely and trustworthy to help us through the process. Shari handled setting up the photographer and assisted with setting up staging for the home, which made a HUGE difference in highlighting the home's features! She was happy to host open houses and worked with other realtors to maximize foot traffic for potential buyers, and also to promote the listing with other agents. Shari provided extremely helpful insight when setting a sales price and negotiating the offers put forth. I truly counted on her professionalism and guidance as we worked through all the details necessary to get the home to closing! As it often goes when selling a home, many little things can arise along the way, and Shari was consistently responsive and thoughtful. I felt very confident having Shari represent us and our home, and I feel that is so very hard to come by these days! I highly recommend working with Shari and hope to do so again myself!" - Bethany M. - Seller

ā ā ā ā ā Shari was on the spot. We moved out of state during this process and she jumped in and helped maintain the home and kept an eye on it. She even went in and cleaned the day before closing and attended the closing on our behalf! Shari went above and beyond for us on this. She made what is normally a stress filled experience one that was easy. If you are looking for a Broker who truly cares, call Shari Austin - you will be very glad you did!! Steve & Judy E.- Seller
