I could not have asked for a better real estate agent. Adam is extremely knowledge about the area, and he is incredibly patient. He truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond. It was a long process, but he remained diligent, communicative, and open-minded.

Blanche was absolutely AMAZING! Not only did she assist us in finding the perfect home for us, she, also, helped us sell our home as well. She has many traits that made working with her awesome...such as honesty, dependability, attentive to our needs and wants, communicated promptly, knowledgeable of construction and, most of all, very personable and professional. We have NO reservations in recommending her to you, a potential homebuyer.

I have done several deals with Angie and she is always on top of everything! She also sold my neighbors house quickly when the last agent didn’t for 7 months. If you want your house sold fast and for top dollar, or for her to guide you through the buying process, call Angie.

As a first time home buyer, having Blanche Stanley as my realtor made my experience a great one. From the beginning, she had my best interest in mind. She took the time to listen and understand what I was looking for in a home and helped me uncover what I didn't know I wanted in a home by showing me options. She thoroughly explained in detail each step of the process ensuring I knew what to expect. She is highly professional, punctual, patient, and maintained an open line of communication. She went the extra mile to make sure she found exactly what I wanted. The experience was superb and I am very satisfied with my decision to purchase my home she made sure was just right for me.

Diane was great at finding us a home in our target location at our target price (no easy task
in these times). She was ALWAYS available to speak with or contact via text or email. She
answered all of our questions. She smoothly coordinated the closing of our new home with
the sale of out of area home. I highly recommend her.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Angelina Corroo as my real estate professional, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. As an out-of-state client, I was initially concerned about managing the process remotely, but Angelina made everything incredibly easy and efficient from start to finish. She was consistently professional, knowledgeable, and responsive, guiding me through each step with clear communication and expert advice. Her ability to handle everything virtually without missing a beat gave me complete peace of mind. If you're looking for someone who truly knows the real estate market and will go above and beyond for her clients, Angelina is the one to call. I’m very grateful for her support and would confidently recommend her to anyone needing a top-tier real estate experience.

I’m extremely grateful that I happened to get matched up with Adam through Zillow. He was everything I could’ve hoped for in a realtor, plus some. Adam is thorough, diligent, knowledgable, honest, and his work ethic is admirable. He’s always working, and he’s very responsive. Adam helped me buy a great house and also helped me sell my condo. I’m somewhat meticulous, so I had more questions than the average buyer/seller, I’m sure. Adam answered them all honestly and promptly, and never made me feel bad for having so many questions. He’s a sharp guy and was a lot of fun to work with. I highly recommend him... not just as a realtor, but as a person.

My husband and I were first time home buyers. We didn't know anything and were so stressed out. I am so thankful that we found Adam! He walked us through every step of the way and did a great job at explaining things to us. He answered every question I had, no matter how silly I felt I was being (I am a worrier) and he responded very quickly! Even after we found a house and moved in, Adam still checked in on us. He's an amazing person and is exceptionally knowledgeable and professional.

I am absolutely thrilled with the service and expertise Shirley gave us with the sale of my Sister's property, The sale of the property was very challenging because my sister passed away before the sale was finalized. Shirley made visits to the hospital, my lawyers office and the courthouse to either fill out paperwork or explain things as far as what steps we needed to take in the sale process. Shirley went above and beyond what her duties called for! I can't thank her enough and highly recommend her as far as buying or selling a property!!!Reply

Stop your search for a great realtor and work with Adam! We connected theu Zillow initially, and thru several showings, offers, and a closing on our dream home, Adam was outstanding. His communication, clarity, knowledge & advice was spot on and we never doubted he was totally committed to us. We highly recommend Adam McKnight and personably will not be using anyone else in the future!

My family has worked with Blanche for years now and she is “On It” every single time. She never disappoints. I can’t express enough how helpful she has been during our moves. Trying to sell then purchase a home can be difficult, but we were able to do it! She goes above and beyond to make sure you’re informed so that you know what you’re getting. Very reliable. Punctual and very responsive. She knows a lot about a lot being that she has a background in construction and real estate and over 20 years of experience. 10/10 recommend. We count ourselves blessed to have been given the opportunity to work with her.

My family and I had been looking at moving to Flower's Plantation for a while. I called Adam and he spoke to me as if he had known me for years. he looked at many homes for us because we were not in the state at the time. he was honest and did not push us to do something that would not be right for us. he took video and walked through everything with us. he was wonderful. I would highly recommend Adam.

She is easy to work with, goes above and beyond for her clients and has a positive outlook during the process which helped me as this was an emotional process for me. She is an expert in real estate and is well connected making the transaction smooth like butter. I highly recommend using her for all your buying and selling needs.

After Angelina helped my mom sell her home and buy another a few years ago, she was the obvious choice when it was time to put our house on the market. She came over and made suggestions on de-cluttering the home and getting it picture perfect for the listings. We followed her every instruction, took all of her recommendations and while I would love to say I was stunned that we had our first showing less than 2 hours after I listed, I can't say I'm surprised. The Showcase listing for our home was TOP NOTCH, and if I didn't already own the home, I'd be racing to view it too! We had 2 showings in the first 24 hours and an offer in the first 48!Everything went smoothly and as things came down to the wire, she was very helpful with recommending vendors to take care of minor things and she was positive, hopeful and encouraging throughout the whole process. This really was a totally stress-free experience with Angelina so when we're ready to buy again, we won't hesitate to give her a call!

Working with Angie was an exceptional experience from start to finish. What truly sets her apart was not just her professionalism and knowledge, but her timing and responsiveness. Every step of the way, she was there, often anticipating questions before we even asked them. But what really made the process seamless was that we weren’t just getting her expertise, we got access to her incredible network. From inspectors to contractors and legal professionals, every referral she made was top-notch. Each person we worked with reflected the same level of care that she brought to the table. It felt like we were working with a team rather than just one agent. More than anything, Angie made a complex and often stressful process feel manageable, even enjoyable. She balanced being highly efficient with being approachable and supportive. We never felt pressured, only informed and empowered. If you want someone who’s more than just a great realtor, someone who brings strategy, and connections, you won’t find anyone better than Angie. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Adam has been my RE agent for several transactions. He is knowledgeable and professional, honest and kind. A very important attribute is his promptness in everything related to our real estate experiences, whether it be via text, phone, email or in person, he always responded in a most timely fashion. I really appreciated that!

Adam was a real pleasure to work with and has been truly amazing from the first phone call we had all the way up until the day of closing. I really could not have asked for a more knowledgeable and trustworthy person to work with. I am beyond happy with his service and have already recommended him to other potential buyers. I would absolutely go to him for any future real estate concerns and am extremely satisfied with all his help

Angie was a great help in helping us buy our first home! She was knowable, kind, responsive, and helped us close a deal on the same day we sent our offer. She was great in guiding us through the process, answering our questions, and providing recommendations along the way. She was also willing and happy to show us 7 houses on a 95 degree day in July 🤣 we would absolutely use her again!

Before reading this, you must note I surprisingly have no relation to Mrs. Amy (that we could figure out anyhow)… her last name may or may not of caught my eye when searching for a realtor. 🙈Mrs. Amy must’ve been Godsent for my husband and I to help us purchase our first home! She is nothing short of a pleasure to work with. I genuinely felt she had our best interest at heart. As first time homebuyers, Mrs. Amy made us feel confident throughout the entire process as she walked us through step-by-step, answered endless questions, and addressed any and all concerns we had. Moving forward, I will not hesitate to have her by my side for all things real estate! 😊

Adam thinks carefully about every step of the process. Don't let his being a little mild-mannered fool you! :) He is very strategic and diligent. Highly recommended! He was correct about pricing (we initially went with my number, but ended up selling for his number!) He came out of the gate with an open house for other agents and brokers. He always had conversations with showing agents to follow-up. He also was very detailed about the inspection and closing process. We had a unique property and are glad we went with Adam.

Adam is a professional through and thru. He listened to my needs and gave me options based on those needs. He gave me his thoughts when I asked for them. There was no pressure at all to make a quick decision. When the decision was mad he made me feel like I won the lottery. He will be the only person I deal with if and when I sell or buy a new home. Thanks Adam!

It was stress free and she answered any questions I had. She always responded quickly and helped me with anything I wasn’t sure about . I highly recommend anyone to have Angie find them a home! She also helped me look through the house for any imperfections . She was very positive and made the first time home buying experience very stress free! I didn’t think buying a house would be so simple but with her she made it very cut and dry

I had a truly positive experience working with Angelina Corroo as my real estate professional. I was selling my late mother’s home from out of state, which made the process both logistically challenging and emotionally sensitive. Angelina handled everything with compassion, professionalism, and clear communication, making a difficult time much easier for me.She went above and beyond to coordinate with both sellers and made sure all paperwork and deadlines were met with ease—even accommodating schedules for signing documents. Most importantly, she always followed through and did exactly what she said she would, which gave me tremendous peace of mind.Thanks to her expertise and strategy, we were able to get top dollar for the property, which I know would have made my mother proud. Angelina is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also someone you can genuinely trust to have your best interests at heart. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a standout real estate professional.

Adam was recommended to me by my son. Searching for a new home in NC from our residence in CO could have been difficult. Adam listened with focused attention on our wants and needs to find potential listings. Every question or concern of ours was answered quickly. If Adam didn’t know something, he knew who to ask. He made certain we were happy with each important decision.

My fiance and I worked with Victoria to buy our first home together, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Even though searching for a home in the Raleigh area was frustrating and had its share of ups and downs, Victoria never pressured us to act, always reminded us that we should never settle until we found exactly what we were looking for, and prioritized our comfort with every decision we made. We could trust her to be honest, to fight hard for us when dealing with frustrating sellers, and to find all options available to help us find a home. She always came to showings prepared with competitive analyses and printouts of listings so we could immediately answer any questions we had about the property. She was very responsive to our many calls, texts, and emails, and we were always confident she was on top of everything! I would use Victoria for all of our future home purchases!
