Client Reviews

5 "Star" Review for Jamie Keith In this market, when you see a great deal. You almost need to be on the door step when it goes on to the market. Jamie was very aggressive in getting us in to view the property and coach us through the entire process. I highly, highly recommend Jamie. Hands down she understands the market and as a buyer, understood my goals and intent for buying without me saying a lot. Great Experience!

The Five County Specialists team assisted us in finding, buying, and closing on a home for a family member. They were very knowledgeable and professional in all aspects of the process. They were on top of things and kept the ball rolling in order for the family member to own the home. I would recommend and use them again in buying or selling a home.

I can’t say enough good things about Kelly. She is such a professional and is extremely knowledgable. She is always quick to respond to any question you have and is also very supportive of you whether you are the buyer or seller. Me and my family have used her to both sell and buy properties and we highly recommend her to everyone!

The Five County Specialists team helped my husband and I so much while we were buying our first house! I highly recommend anyone looking to buy a house to use them! They are so sweet and hard working, they made the process so easy for us, and we are so thankful! When closing day came, they made us feel so welcomed with some house warming gifts. I can’t recommend them enough if you are buying a home!

Kelly goes above and beyond in being professional. She is really caring and wanted us to be really happy with our purchase. She’s very organized, curtious, and makes the home buying process easy.

Jamie Keith sold us our first home about a month ago. Being first time home buyers, we weren't sure how the process was going to go. Jamie made it seamless, and educated us along the way. We had so much fun working with her and she is just so kind! It felt like she was a friend from day one. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Jamie Keith was great to work with. She sold us our first home and made the process easy. She helped us navigate the more complicated parts of the process and made sure we didn't miss anything. We couldn't have done it without her! 10/10 would recommend her for your home buying needs!

[Five County Specialists] helped me and my siblings sell our parents land and now their home where we all grew up and she has been the best to work with,she is very professionally in what she does and is so very nice,so glad I gave her that first call to list our parents property. She has been fantastic,please give her a call if you need an agent.You will love her.

My realtor was such a joy to work with. She is confident in what she's doing which makes working with her such a pleasure. She has every "i" dotted and every "t" crossed so there is no question that everything is done correctly and in a timely manner. She has become a part of my family.

Elisa assisted us with purchasing two new construction homes and then later selling both. Each transaction was smooth and our purchase and sales prices exceeded our expectations. This is credit to Elisa’s outstanding negotiating skills. She is not afraid to ask for more while offering  concessions to make it a true win-win transaction. She is well networked with other agents which seems to help the sales, negotiation, and closing process. She is a true professional and our “agent for life”!

Elisa was recommended to us by close friends. Elisa found them their dream home. I was not an easy client. I was hesitant about relocating. Even though it really wasn't a choice. With Elisa it was like house hunting with my BFF. She made the process enjoyable. She was able to give me vision and  clarity when I was ready to crawl up in the fetal position. I'm now a southerner and love Wake Forest. I still text Elisa with advice on place's to go and restaurants to try. She really is an amazing person and realtor. She is very knowledgeable about the area and housing market.

Elisa has helped me sell a house (in less than 30 days!) and purchase a home, both in Heritage of Wake Forest. Her knowledge of the area is second to none. She was very upfront with what would help my house sell and she helped guide me through the buying process and the “watch outs” of buying the  new one. Her team is incredible to work with and even though my sell was a complicated one, they went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of. I highly recommend Elisa and her team for any of your real estate needs.

I can’t say enough about Elisa Moore! She was the perfect agent for our needs when we had to sell our home. Elisa made the right recommendations not only on what we needed to do to get our home ready to sell but also knew the market so well that we priced it perfectly and sold quickly. Elisa is  also licensed at the coast and helped us when we were looking to buy at the coast.

I have worked with Elisa in buying and/or selling 3 different properties. She is knowledgeable, professional, ethical, and very in tune with the local market. I have also referred her to friends and family, with great results. You can trust her, and she works hard for the best outcome. I would  gladly work with her again. Experience counts!

"Hardest working, kindest, most compassionate realtors we have ever worked with in our lives! They're amazingly diligent and thorough and will do an incredible job for you!"

"Our experience with them was nothing short of amazing! We were unfamiliar with the area and they helped us navigate what we wanted until we found the perfect home. We never thought she was just sticking us in a house to get a commission check - we felt truly cared for! She gave us the resources and expertise that we needed from the beginning until we closed and then afterwards. She even helped us with our many questions about just being first-time home-buyers. All I can say is thank goodness.. HIGHLY recommend using this team! When we sell we will be back!"

"I highly recommend! Awesome realtor. She was with us every step of the way in what was, at times, a challenging experience. She kept us informed and went above & beyond for us. We appreciate you! know that you will give all of your clients the same dedication we received."

"Jamie Keith was so helpful for me and my fiancé's first time buying a home. Her guidance and commitment to us made it so clear on what really works best or us. She truly cares for her customers and I recommend her to anybody buying a home whether your experienced in the home buying field or not. She stays on top of her game so well and had kept us within the loop tremendously. I will most certainly be recommending her to friends and family in the future."

Kelly [Straughn] was a pleasure to work with. My father passed away in March and selling his house was emotional for myself and my siblings. She was professional during the entire process. Any questions we had were answered in a timely manner. She made sure we knew everything that was going on from the beginning. We were informed of showings and received feedback from those showings. She was honest, sincere and made this experience amazing. She knows the area in which my Father's home was located extremely well. I highly recommend her for a realtor. I look forward to doing business with her again in the near future. What a blessing she has been."

She is very knowledgeable and helpful and helped us to make the correct decision also helped us find all the inspectors and stuff that we needed for our closing. If we ever buy another home we will definitely use her."

"I am so glad that a friend recommended Kelly Straughn as the agent to help us sell our house and another plot of land in Zebulon. Kelly and her team (shout out to the team) went above and beyond, especially when the second lot began to present challenges. Although we became discouraged, Kelly did not. She never gave up. She offered us options that we did not know we had and in the end she pulled it off for us at a profit. I cannot say enough good things about the whole experience, thanks to Kelly."

"Jamie Keith was the realtor responsible for the sale of Dorothy Inscoe’s Spring Hope, NC property. As most know selling a home can be a frustrating and difficult experience and this sale was not without its tough times. Nevertheless, Jamie Keith made those tough times bearable by shouldering many of the responsibilities and getting all of the problems resolved as painlessly as possible. Plus she was a pleasure to work with. We both highly recommend that you use Jamie Keith as your agent."

"No complaints here! Thank You [Elisa Moore]! Best Realtor EVER!"

"My Realtor, Jamie Keith, was the ABSOLUTE best part of the home buying experience. She made the whole process smooth as ever. Anytime I thought to ask her a question, I'd call or text and her response was "I'm already working on it, no worries". This being the first home me and my wife purchased, we had a lot of questions and some doubt. Jaime took out the doubt and was able to answer everything I asked her. She took the time to go the extra step and really looked out for me and my wife's best interest. Never pressured us to do anything we weren't completely sure about. I would recommend anyone remotely close to the area call Jaime and let her help you with any real estate needs. She will be the first person I call in the future whenever we're ready to move on to the next chapter!"

They were there every step of the way, answering any questions at any time on any day, and giving advice when she knew we needed it.

Very Professional. Awesome to work with. If you are looking to Buy or Sell a home Kelly [Straughn] gets it done! She did an excellent job marketing our home and finding us a buyer quickly.

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Kelly Straughn and the team did an outstanding job, selling our house in Lake Royale quickly and for top dollar. Much higher than some of the other real estate agents we interviewed. The Five County Specialists team in Zebulon were extremely professional, easy to work with, and had a system for getting everything done with attention to details that will blow your mind. I do not say this lightly - I sold real estate years ago, and I know how challenging the process can be. If you are thinking of selling or buying a property, we strongly suggest that you call Kelly Straughn at Five County Specialists office in Zebulon, NC.

Kelly was excellent from start to finish. She spent time in the beginning getting to know our family, what are needs are, wants, interests, etc... From that she was able to put together a profile of the house, location, and variables that we were looking for and would interest us. She was very transparent and honest about her feedback on particular homes and areas of the city as we are new to the area. She was very clear about the process and guided us along the way. Post closing, she had a binder that she kept all of our paperwork in along the way, which we have used already multiple times after we closed on the house. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a realtor in the area. Thanks Kelly!

"Thank you so very much for being my support during the sale of my mother's house. As you know, it was very emotional for me. But you showed me the care and concern you have for others. Your time and patience were very much appreciated. You are an inspiration to the realty industry. I only hope the best for your many sales in the future. May God bless you and your family."

We are extremely pleased with the level of service and professionalism we received from our real estate agent. We moved out of state while upgrades were in progress on our home in Nash County and she helped us to not only allow contractors onto the premises to complete the work in progress but also helped coordinate, schedule and support all work/maintenance/repair to ensure our home met current requirements for sale. She was extremely knowledgeable in local and federal housing/zoning requirements, quickly got back to us with clarifications when needed, and was extremely responsive to all of our questions and concerns throughout the sales process. Most impressive of all was the fact that we had 4 showings the first weekend on the market and multiple offers within 10 days. Absolutely convinced she was the right choice for our agent. Many thanks to her broker, Elisa [Moore], as well for introducing us and helping us to prepare for sale. We couldn't be happier with the outcome!

Very helpful, understanding, skillful, always on time, she knows her stuff, those are just a few to mention. As a first time venturing into unknown line of purchasing a house she will definitely make sure you feel at ease very thorough. During the process of the purchase whenever the going got hard and one had second thoughts she was always there assuring that it is just part of the process not to worry there would be a solution and looking back one really appreciates all she did and the effort I can honestly say there were no sleepless nights she made sure all went as planned even went an extra mile just to make sure nothing was left hanging.

She was a real pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable, highly organized, always willing to get together on short notice, and always quick to respond to any questions or issues I had.

She surrounds herself with a great network of people to facilitate the whole process, and I would recommend them all without hesitation.

Highly recommended, available anywhere any time with knowledge and experience. Kelly showed us a house that eventually became our home. A property that was only on the market a short time became ours because we acted quickly. Kelly guided through our first home buying experience and made us feel comfortable with our decisions.

The Five County Specialists team excel in "attention to details." You are in safe hands with them!

What an absolute pleasure to work with! I found her after submitting an inquiry for a property on Zillow and she responded IMMEDIATELY with a phone call.

My wife and I ended up taking several weekends/weeks before we finally decided to put an offer in on a property. Katharine was more than accommodating of our schedule, our 17-month old son and his nap schedule, and making the entire process as easy and painless for my family as possible.

We made multiple stops and saw multiple properties and not once did Katharine have a schedule conflict or cancel. She was able and willing to meet us anywhere around our schedule, rain or shine!

This was our first home purchase and, as expected, we had tons of questions along the way. Her knowledge of the market, the process, and her referrals for vendors were all superior! We trusted her word from everything about negotiating the price of the home to vendors for home owner's insurance and lenders. All of which turned out to be all upstanding teams and people.

We would recommend to anyone in the area who is looking to buy or sell a home!

Kelly sold our home for us and helped us find the perfect new home! Our experience was great from start to finish because of Kelly. She was always willing to answer questions from us and help us navigate our first home selling experience. She also acted as an advocate for us and ensured that we received all we wanted from our new home. She gave us advice to make our old home market ready with her knowledge and experience. I will never use a realtor other than Kelly and highly recommend her to anyone!

Jamie Keith was our realtor and she was amazing...

She always went above and beyond. She wasn't only a realtor she was a friend. She calmed us down when things would upset us and she would handle it. She has a way of getting things done while still being the sweetest person. She's dedicated to her job and definitely goes the extra mile for her clients. We love Jamie and consider her part of our family. if you are looking for a realtor who really just cares that their clients are happy, I would definitely recommend Jamie and if needed I would defiinitely use her again!

Kelly helped my husband & I purchase our first home! She was very professional and absolutely terrific to work with. We started by showing her a house that we liked as well as telling her a few wants for our dream home & not even a week later she compiled a list of homes that fit our wants and needs. She helped us find our dream home and was there for us step by step from the beginning to the closing table. If anyone is looking to buy or sell a home, I would definitely recommend Kelly!!

5 Star Facebook Review From Veteran Family

I absolutely can not say enough good stuff! Amazing! We moved to the area from Florida and it was a very quick move. We literally gave her like a one day notice of "Hey we have 20 houses we want to come up and see can you help us" she was so on board, organized and happy to help. In one day she took us to each home and by the end of the day we had put an offer on our home. She was there for us every step of the way which was a blessing especially trying to handle it all from Florida. We have been so impressed with her. She made our first time buying a home a pleasant experience! Highly recommend!

The [Five County Specialist] team is just awesome. She went way above and beyond for us & I'd recommend her to anyone. We were looking for a cottage with a camper on it with the intent of building in a few years; her knowledge of the area helped us find the perfect home! In retrospect, we probably weren't always the easiest clients to deal within the world, but she was always warm, friendly, and patient!

As someone who works in the real estate industry, I have worked professionally with many local Realtors. I chose Kelly to sell my home because I know her to be honest and knowledgeable.

We considered selling our home ourselves, but I'm so glad we hired Kelly instead! She handled everything like a pro.

We had multiple offers and accepted an offer above asking. Once we were under contract, Kelly worked hard on our behalf.

With Kelly's help, we sold our home for considerably more than if we had sold it ourselves.

Now Kelly is helping us find our next home. I highly recommend Kelly Straughn to anyone buying or selling a home in the Raleigh area.

Kelly was heaven sent to me and my mom! We have been looking for a home for a long time, and finally got one with her help. I went through 3 different agents before and none can compare. While the others showed us homes that were not suitable for my mother, Kelly took the time and listened to our needs and only showed us homes that met our criteria, something the other agents didn't care to do. Not only that she knows the area very well and also recommended other services to us that we will need to get us ready for the move. She also knows many in the industry that are knowledgeable and will assist with the process. It was a wonderful experience working with her, she made the transition go very smoothly.

We had been on the hunt for a home for approximately a year before we decided to contact a professional that could give us more information in the Zebulon tri-county area. Wow did we need her sooner! Within the first week of contact we found the perfect home for my wife and I on the first visit to Zebulon!

But, the Lord had other plans and we didn't act fast enough to secure that dreamy home. We decided on many other options from lightly used homes, other new builds and parcels of land to build our own. All of which was over another year long process of decisions and budgeting.

After our honeymoon we got back in contact after taking a 4-5 month hiatus from the house hunt. We gave Kelly our new list of prospected houses and were back at it the following weekend. Again, first home she suggested to us was right on the money, everything we were looking for, rest of the homes that day didn't compare. But something was missing that we couldn't put a finger on.

For the heck of it we wanted to go back to the same neighborhood of the home she showed the year before, low and behold there were two homes across the street with the exact matching checklist. It was almost like she knew we'd go back to that area if we got the chance.

We are now the proud owners of one of those homes and have had the greatest and smoothest closing process out of any of our family and friends. Kelly has the knowledge and know how for the area and if she doesn't know an answer, you better believe she'll find out for you.

As if her professional skills weren't enough, in the closing process we informed her of our good news that will be expecting an addition to our family by the end of the year, Kelly surprised us after closing with a nursery gift :') can't thank her enough!!!

Update 7/15/16: We closed on our home 0n 07/12/16 and I couldn't be happier with Kelly and her professionalism. Even when I was frustrated with the closing process she was able to talk me off the ledge. You can't go wrong with Kelly in your corner.

I am currently working with Kelly in my home search. She has been a great help to me as I am a 1st time home buyer and have needed some hand holding. Kelly and been patient and kind with me and I appreciate that.

"Anybody in Raleigh or the surrounding areas that's looking to buy a home now or in the future, reach out to the Five County Specialists on Zebulon Rd! Couldn't have asked for better folks to help us find our first home. They are all about their clients. Appreciate all you've done for us!"

Kelly has introduced me to a world where realtors call, text and email and keep you updated and informed in all areas of the sale. Kelly has shown me that it is possible to have that stress-free experience buying a home even though it was jointly with my parents. She has the social aptitude to adjust to her clients comfort level and make them feel like they have a personal real estate advisor and not just a commission-seeking agent without a vested interest. Kelly is a value add for any real estate transaction.

It was a pleasure to work with Kelly Straughn. She helped us with a lot of time and dedication to get the house that we were looking for; the right house. It took several houses, looking at the good and the bad and we didn't get the pressure with her to get a home which wasn't the right one for us. She always was trying to be sure that we were buying "our house".

Once we found it, she took care of every single detail with the seller's Realtor to complete all paperwork, inspections and any requests to the sellers.
