Peggy R. says, "Kim was focused on getting us the home that we would be happy with and was always willing to validate our feelings despite the fact that we had been looking for the right house for many months. She was a consummate professional when were dealing with a difficult realtor who was representing a builder in an subdivision we were looking in. She never lost her sense of humor and always kept an open mind and always had our best interest at heart."See more

Jeneanne Hunter says, "I was very fortunate to have found Matthew as a real estate agent to work with buying a house. He was knowledgeable about the area he covers, as well as individual communities. He patiently helped me distinguishing between what I thought I might want versus which location and types of spaces ultimately felt comfortable for me. When it came down to deciding on making an offer, he went well beyond what was expected in thoroughly looking through the entire property to check for areas of concern, including the attic and crawl space, before starting on a contract. He then outlined various scenarios and considerations in structuring the offer in way that was beneficial to me as well as realistic for the seller. Once the offer was accepted, it was Matthew who provided information to me about the inspections and subsequently made contacts for estimated repairs. He always responded quickly to my questions and concerns, and genuinely wanted me to feel comfortable through the entire process. I would recommend Matthew to anyone looking to either buy or sell a home, as he wants both the buyer and seller to be satisfied with the end result."See more

My name is Carolyn Graven, and real estate is something I came to after more than 25 years of running my own business. That long career taught me how to solve problems calmly, communicate clearly, and put the people I serve first, every single time. My path here is personal. A California native from San Mateo, I moved to the Raleigh area over a decade ago to be closer to family, and a season spent helping my in-laws through illness showed me where my heart truly is: walking beside people during life’s biggest transitions. Selling a home, downsizing, or moving across the country is rarely just logistics. It is emotional, and it deserves patience, honesty, and a steady hand. My practice is small by design. Rather than juggling dozens of listings, I take on only a handful of clients at a time, so your home and your move stay my genuine priority. From our first conversation through closing and beyond, every detail stays in my hands: pricing strategy, staging guidance, marketing, showings, negotiation, and the logistics of a long-distance move. You will never be handed off, and you will never wonder where things stand. Sellers across the Triangle, downsizers exploring 55-plus communities, and those relocating from the West Coast all come to me for the same thing: calm, white-glove guidance grounded in deep local knowledge. As a Keller Williams Elite Realty agent who lives in Brier Creek myself, I offer a truly local perspective, and as a fellow California transplant, I understand the move you are making because I have made it too. Whatever your next chapter holds, my promise is simple: thoughtful, personal support at every step. Living starts here.See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Real estate agents help their clients buy, sell, and rent commercial and residential properties. There are also real estate agents that sell industrial and agricultural real estate, but the majority sell residential properties. To become a real estate agent, you must be at least 18 years old, successfully complete real estate courses, and pass a real estate exam. Be sure to check for any required licensing, too. Often real estate agents will earn 5 percent to 6 percent of the total home sale price for their work in representing their client. Typically this commission is split equally between the buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent. Here is an overview of what a real estate agent does, according to the United States Department of Labor:

  • Represent clients who are looking to buy, sell and rent properties.
  • Stay knowledgeable about regional real estate prices, mortgages, market conditions and related information, and advise clients accordingly.  
  • Determine competitive market prices by comparing properties.
  • Create and publicize lists of properties for sale, including details such as location and features.
  • Market properties through advertisements, open houses and listing services.
  • Show prospective buyers or renters properties.
  • Present purchase offers to sellers for consideration.
  • Mediate negotiations between buyer and seller.
  • Ensure that all terms of purchase contracts are met.
  • Prepare documents, such as loyalty contracts, purchase agreements and deeds.

Real estate agents typically don’t charge a set rate to their clients, but rather earn a commission on the price of the final home sale. In traditional real estate, there is a buyer’s agent and a seller’s agent. The two agents receive 5 percent to 6 percent of the final home sale price and split it evenly, meaning they each earn roughly 2.5 percent to 3 percent of the total home sale. If you are a home seller, you may have fees associated with the sale that are above and beyond the commission the agents earn. The real estate agent may have you pay marketing fees, MLS fees, early cancellation fees, or more. Always ask pricing details before signing a contract so you clearly understand your financial obligations. Here are some of the average (and common) costs that can arise when selling a home:

  • Home inspection: $200-$350 or more, depending on region.
  • Home appraisal: $250-$400 or more, depending on region.
  • Professional real estate photography: $275-$550 or more, depending on photographer, square footage of house, and special requests like sunset shots.
  • Closing costs: Often split between the seller and buyer. An average range for the buyer to pay is between 3 percent and 4 percent, with the seller paying a lower fee at 1 percent to 3 percent of the home’s price.

Real estate agents and real estate brokers both help clients buy, sell, and rent residential and commercial properties. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, real estate brokers are licensed to manage their own real estate businesses. Real estate agents cannot have their own real estate office and must work under a broker. Real estate brokers often have real estate firms and employ real estate agents. Those real estate agents may be employees of the firm, or they may work on contract and earn part of any commission they bring into the firm.

If you are a homeowner ready to sell or a buyer in the market for a new home, either a real estate broker or a real estate agent can help you achieve your goal. What is more important than their title is their track record and client success stories. When interviewing real estate agents or brokers to help you buy or sell a home, ask about their recent sales history as compared with the original listing prices. If you’re selling a home, ask how they would market your home and what price they would list it at. Whether you hire an agent or broker, you want a professional who will have your best interests at heart.

When you’re hiring a real estate agent you want to find a qualified pro who can negotiate the best deal for your home — whether you’re buying or selling. Reading reviews will help you weed out obvious bad operators; you want to work with someone who treats their clients with fairness and respect. That said, you also want someone who can play hardball and maximize your real estate deal. Ask for references from recent clients, and be sure to call them.

Experts encourage you to interview more than one prospective real estate agent before hiring. A home sale or home purchase is a big deal — sometimes the biggest deal in a person’s life — and you want to find an agent who will work hard for you. In today’s market, having a real estate agent who is social media savvy and has an attractive online presence is critical. Ask the agent how they plan to market your house. Review their listings, and ask yourself if they have professional photos with homes that are professionally staged. If the answer is no, they might not have the marketing savvy you’re looking for. Ask what price they would list your house at and why. Pay attention to how they communicate with you during your initial interviewing phase. Are they too busy to respond for several days? Are they clear and helpful? This information is a clue to how they’ll engage during the entire process.
