Linda Craft & Team Realtors

We recently relocated to the Raleigh area and needed to find a home quickly. We chose Linda Craft and Team because of their professional website and great reviews. We worked with Scott Graves and found him to be very knowledgeable and willing to take time to show us the Greater Raleigh Area. He not only is a great real estate agent, but he also has experience as a home builder. His insight brought a different perspective to our home buying process that is unrivaled by any experience we have had in the past. Not only did he help us find the perfect home, but he also educated us on the craftsmanship. The bonus was when he informed us on the care for various plants in our landscaping. We walked away feeling like we had gained not only a new home, but a new friend. Thanks Linda Craft and Team! more

We just bought our first home in Raleigh through Linda Craft.. Kim Crump was our Realtor and we loved her. She made every thing very easy and simple. Not to mention the perks that comes with Linda Crafts team.. Free moving truck, free bounce house, and we just ordered our free pie for Thanksgiving. We closed a month ago and perks are still coming our way. When I talk my family into moving from Michigan Kim is the one they will be seeing. Everyone is great at Linda Craft. more

After 12 years of working with Real Estate agents in North Carolina & Florida I have been subjected to a dismayingly high number of incompetant, arrogant & outright dishonest (so called) Real Estate agents.\r From agents who never, ever do what they say to an agent who did not submit my offer to purchase for over 4 days after saying she would submit it - ( I had to go to the agents office literally demand my paperwork - the Broker in acted in a physically threatening manner & verbally abused me - I took it to the sellers agent and it was accepted that afternoon - they were considering other offers), to losing a bid on a property in the last 30 minutes by 1% to MY agents SON (hmmm) to an agent who literally attempted to distract me during an entire home inspection (from his inspector - who ""missed"" over $8,000 of defects - that I found the next day...\r The last agent I interviewed - a ""Top Broker"" in Raleigh blatantly lied to me several times during a conversation about factors determing market value then became abusive & condescending when I correctly explained that past tax value does not factor in determing current market value\r Look I could go on for hours... In fact over 12 years ago I won one of the largest lawsuits of its type against a Real Estate / property manager - so I, unfortunately, consider myself an expert on the problems with Real Estate agents - in North Carolina.\r THANK GOD I FOUND LINDA CRAFT & TEAM!!!!!!!!!\r I was literally terrified & unable to sleep at the thought of having to rely on an agent in the Triangle area when my familys situation dictated that we relocate to Florida.\r LINDA CRAFT & TEAM have been so refreshingly professional (with no knowledge of my past bad experiences). I never, ever have to follow-up with them to make sure they are doing what they said they would, Linda Craft & Team constantly, consistently have anticipated my needs and fulfilled them - many times before I realized what I needed.\r Linda Craft & Team have displayed excellent knowledge of the market & marketing. She and her staff priced my home perfectly! I receive email updates and tips weekly from Linda & Brenda.\r Brenda's attention to detail has been immaculately professional !\r The rest of the staff have been perfect also.\r I also love receiving the Showing Appointment & feedback emails - they let me know in real time what propects like & dislike.\r Linda also emails me valuable current market conditions - weekly. \r Linda Craft & Team evensent out an evaluation & performance survey.\r WHAT MORE COULD I ASK FOR???!!!!\r I have total peace of mind that my property is in the best hands possible. The market conditions are obviously difficult but I can find absolutely NO FAULT whatsoever with Linda Craft & Team - they have been perfect!\r Thank you Linda Craft & Team for being so professional in handling the sale of my familys home and giving me total peace of mind during these trying economic times!\r \r Sincerely,\r Dave\r \r \r Pros: Refreshingly First Class! Extremely Professional! Cons: 10/10 in every category - NO NEGATIVES!!!!!!!! more

In this difficult market, Linda Craft and Team got us two offers within 22 days on the market! They use all of the current technology to market your home. We had more showings the first week than we had with a previous realtor in 9 weeks! Everyone at LC&T is very courteous, knowlegeable and professional...if I ever need to sell again I would only go to Linda Craft & Team. Pros: They work 24-7 to sell your home! more

This agency is an absolute marketing machine. Their business model is based on heavy advertising to grab as much of the market share as possible. Unfortunately, f or the individual trying to sell their house, this approach is not what will sell your home at the highest price possible and in the shortest time possible. It's just a numbers game. The approach: get as many homes on the market with as little time/energy investment as possible and SOME of them will sale. But not necessarily yours.\r \r My experience working with these people was a nightmare and I spent many months angry at being treated like a number. Here are just some of the issues:\r --Linda ""handles"" all house sales. How can one person manage so many houses well? She can't. She delegates contract issues to a contract person, showing follow-up to a couple of folks that I would never hire to handle the sale of my house, someone else to take pictures of the house and communicate. Getting Linda's attention and her dedicated service to your home is just not going to happen.\r --The Linda Craft agent that was to help us buy a house ( a separate person) didn't find the houses that we liked--we did. Then, literally, every time I called to talk to her, I got her voice mail. Everytime--no matter what time of day. I wish I had a penny for everytime this buyers agent sighed and hemmed and hawed about how ""busy"" she was when I needed to talk to her about something. This was also the attitude of couple of other critical people in the office. The effect is that we didn't feel advocated for or valued.\r --We have a nice remodeled home in a desirable N. Raleigh neighborhood and after $30,000 in price reductions--which was the ONLY advice Linda could seem to give to sell the house-- 7 months on the market, and 50 showings, the house still didn't sell.\r \r The biggest issue is one person with too much volume to handle is delegating the sale of the home to less skilled individuals resulting in diluted responsbility for the sale of the home and horrible communication. The result? The needs of an individual client like us and the strategy to sale were completely neglected. Pros: good at advertising their business Cons: communication, sales, customer service more

I have had experience with realtors in the past and I must say that it has been a pleasure to work with her team. With the soft market that we have today you need experience on your side. She has made a repeat customer out of me and will allways get recomendations from me. You want results and results only come from the best in the business. \r \r Top Notch Job Linda Craft Team!!!!!!!\r \r Pros: Her Team is Top Notch!!! more

Buying or selling a home is easy. If you have questions, do some research on the Internet or ask around. In this way, you can enjoy a more personable relationship with someone less busy who isn't about showmanship and speed. Chances are, those who report selling homes at high percentages of list price, have already lowered the list price a bit under comps just for this measurement. Try it a bit higher, first - get an agent who thinks in this way. more

I have been an investor in Raleigh Real Estate for the last 20 years. Linda Craft & her team gets it! They understand customer service and the benefits from providing the ""best"" customer service that I have every expirenced in the area. I felt comfortable at my appointment.

Knowledgable, courtious, and wonderful communicators. Linda and her team are also well ahead of the curve in technology and digital media advertising.

After buying and selling homes in different areas of the country I can't say enough about how well things went with Linda Craft and Team.

Be careful not to miss the opportunity to work with one of the best people and real estate firms in the country based on a negative review (especially when it's their ONLY review of anything). I smell a vindictive attempt in play....\r \r On a positive note, I've known Linda and her husband Jay, who is also active in Linda Craft & Team for several years. I have found them to be very customer focused and especially dedicated to staying current on market trends and methods by which to most effectively market your home for sale. If the above review were real, and that person had raised any concern I am confident it would have been addressed to their satisfaction immediately.\r \r Linda goes above and beyond to help others and supports the communities in which they do business by sponsoring many family freindly events and activities every year. Check out their webpage, ask your business associates, neighbors and friends who have worked with Linda and her team and you will find that she is highly respected and regarded among clients and collegues!

If there is one thing I've learned after buying and selling 5 homes, it's that your Realtor is the most important choice you will make. And after working with Linda Craft and Team , I am happy to report that this is one company that makes the rest pale in comparison. I was so impressed by their professionalism, their in-depth knowledge of the market and their solid advice on everything from pricing and marketing my home to great lenders for an unbeatable rate to one of the smoothest transactions ever! Everyone on the Linda Craft team was responsive and knowledgable, quick to get back to us and guide us with an experienced hand. I could not make a higher recommendation for a trusted partner to handle all real estate needs with integrity and the utmost in personal service. Thanks Linda! Pros: Knowledgable, responsive, and fast! more

We hired Linda Craft and her agency to sell our house and we could not have been more disappointed in their lack of experience and professionalism. We even received several phone calls from realtors who wanted to see our house with complaints about our realtor not returning their phone calls or giving them false information about our house. The entire office is chaotic and cannot deliver what they promise. There are a ton of good realtors in the triangle, but this agency is not one of them. Do your self a favor and stay clear of this team all together. We truly wished we did. Pros: I cannot think of any Cons: Unprofessional, not responsive, forgetful, argumentative, manipulative more
