Our team
Six agents who all live in the county they sell in
Dana Kessendale has sold homes in Wake County since 2005 and built a team of six agents who each cover their own submarkets. We tell sellers when a price is too optimistic and buyers when a house has a problem worth walking away from. The referral rate suggests that works.
•Written pricing analysis with the comparable sales attached
•Professional photography and floor plans on every listing
•Trusted inspector, lender and contractor referrals with no kickbacks
•Same agent from first showing through closing day

FAQ
Buying and selling questions
How do you decide on a listing price?
We pull recent sales of genuinely comparable homes, adjust for condition, lot and updates, and look at current inventory and days on market. You see the comparables yourself, so the price is a conversation rather than a number we hand you.
What are the commission costs?
Commission is fully negotiable and there is no standard rate. We agree it in writing before listing, including what portion is offered to a buyer agent, and we explain how recent rule changes affect who pays what in your situation.
What should I fix before selling?
Usually paint, flooring, light fixtures and anything a buyer will flag at inspection. Kitchen and bath remodels rarely return their cost right before a sale. We walk the house and give you a written list ranked by return.
How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends on the loan. Conventional loans can start around three to five percent, FHA around three and a half, and VA and USDA can reach zero for those who qualify. We will connect you with two or three lenders so you can compare real numbers.
