They don't make due diligence. It's a high volume low quality. I've had tens of thousands of dollars in repairs that their alleged inspector inspected. It's easier to hire an attorney for the closing and do the inspection from your own people with HVAC plumbing and electric. read more

We have worked with Muriel Bijeau for several real estate transactions. I've lived in Raleigh for 60 years and she is the only agent I would work with. She knows the area, has the expertise and will provide an honest assessment of the pros/cons of a property that is under consideration. If there is something complex about the transaction, she has the knowledge to handle it and provide a stress-free experience. On top of all that...she is very pleasant, responds quickly to inquiries and is fun to be around! read more

Words cannot express my gratitude for Kim Crump, the best buyer's agent at Linda Craft & Team..... I'm a first time home buyer and she went above and beyond to help me with everything in the home buying process. Additionally, she was very open-minded as I was shopping for houses with my partner.... many other agents treated same-sex couples very different. Kim works ALL hours of the day and weekend- she made herself available all weekend- even all day Sunday. She returns phone calls and texts very quickly, and she's on top of everything even after you put in your offer. Kim even went to the home inspection and reinspection when I wasn't available (I live out of state). She is truly a blessing.... and SO great and knowledgable at what she does. I could ramble on & on, but Kim Crump is the best agent I've ever met and would recommend her above ANY other agent :) read more

I can't say enough good things about working with the Linda Craft & Team! Last spring (2013) we were ready to buy our home to raise our little boys in. On Facebook one day, I asked for suggestions on who I should contact in the Raleigh area to buy a house & my college friend immediately said - "Call the Linda Craft Team, they are all awesome!" My college roommate and friend I've known for 30 years had a great experience buying & selling with them. They had 3 family houses they were managing over time & said the service is amazing. She said I wouldn't be disappointed - I really trusted her opinion & knew she had high standards, so I called. The day I called, I spoke to Andrew Truesdale and we met with him soon after. We immediately hit it off both personally & professionally. He was able to get a good "feel" for who we were, what we needed at this point in our life, and how he could help us the most. He knew our budget limits and understood what was a priority for us - even understanding my need to be in a Halloween-friendly neighborhood! Andrew connected us with great resources for repairs as well as our mortgage. Over time I was able to make further connections with the team (Nogi, Jennifer) and all my communication with them was professional, responsive, and positive. Less than a year after we bought our house, a very odd winter tornado came through in Feb 2014. It was very isolated & only caused damage to 2 homes in our neighborhood - one was ours. A tree feel through our roof & into our bedroom. Once Andrew saw my post/pics on Facebook, he immediately called me to see if we were ok, see what we needed, and share some contacts for home repairs. To know that someone didn't just "sell" us a home & walk away was pretty impressive. As much as I love our home, I know that it's probably not the home that we will retire in. One day we probably will sell and buy again. I will definitely return and I will also refer everyone I know to their team. Thanks for making this process smooth and nice. We love our home! read more

See all

We worked with Courtney Keller and Sonya Wagner to find a commercial space and could not be happier. They listened, we saw spaces that matched our needs and then worked to find the right price and terms that were great for us. Highly recommended! read more

What a great experience working with the Linda Craft team! From our relator (Heather Larose) to Nogi (Aramburo) who made sure everything went smooth (and it did). We can't recommend them enough. I didn't realize buying a house could be this painless. read more

A little about me, I live in California and I have a property in North Carolina. I've been putting off selling the property in NC due to family and finical issues. So I told myself ok, 2017 is it. I've had enough of this house. I need to do something. I reach out to Google like most people and contacted many realtors via email and phone calls. I happen to email Linda Craft and team. They were the only ones that replied to my emails and phone calls. I just want to take a moment and thank Steve Kruger and everyone at Linda Craft and team. From sales to financing they helped me every step of the way. Steve was very professional, his advise and opinions are honest and true. He messages you back or calls you back on time and very punctual. Because I was so far away he was my eyes and ears. Thank you Steve!! If you need a realtor Steve is the guy I'd recommend. If you need someone you can trust and help you every step of the way in this crazy housing industry, please try the team at Linda and Craft. Steve was able to help me sell my house in NC, I hope who ever reads this finds it useful. Thank you also to Jennifer Hicks wonderful closing manager!! Thanh nguyen read more

Buyer experience- We reached out to Linda Craft's team because of their positive reputation for navigating USDA Loans. We quickly received a response from a member of Linda Craft's team, Bethany Georghiou, and her expertise and guidance was essential to our journey to home ownership. We were also happy to support a woman owned business. As a buyer, it cost us nothing for their services, but Bethany and the Linda Craft team surpassed our expectations. She answered calls whenever we needed her, she was ready to visit properties as quickly as we showed interest in them, and she facilitated all of the communications necessary for visits. They have a network of lenders and when due to covid, our first lender could no longer service us, a quick alternative was found. I can not recommend working with the Linda Craft team enough, particularly Bethany Georghio. After closing, the Linda Craft team lent us their box truck to move ourselves at no cost. We just had to fill the tank up when we brought it back. They performed so well for us even during the unique obstacles of covid. Thank you Linda Craft, and thank you Bethany Georghio! read more

We had a very negative experience purchasing from a seller represented by the Linda Craft team. Their agent failed to ensure the seller completed agreed upon electrical repairs before the closing date and then did not properly communicate to the electrician the repairs that were agreed to be made there after. Because of this, several repairs were not completed or done incorrectly. Further, the seller agent did not collect all relevant keys and garage openers before closing for us to receive in a timely manner. read more

Second time posting as my review was reported... In all reality, we probably need to be mad at ourselves for falling for some 'too good to be true' situation, but I've just never been treated so poorly by any organization before... ever. This isn't my first time buying/selling a house, it's not something I'm unfamiliar with--but I am new to the triangle, so when I saw that this house on was available and at such a good price for Cary, I jumped on it! We were told that we needed to make a high offer of due diligence money so the seller would know we were serious--so we did-- $3000. We were told that was standard and we wouldn't be taken seriously if we put up less than than. We were also told that we needed to hurry up and close quickly because the seller wanted a quick close. All of these things should have been huge red flags in hindsight, but everyone kept telling us how quickly the market moves and what a great deal we were getting. So, we're told to cut a check for $3000 immediately to the seller and also cut a check for $2000 in due diligence money. The next week, we paid $686 for an inspection. At this point it's worth noting that NO ONE WOULD SPEAK TO ME. I would text our realtor, Lisa, and she would reply in a text to my husband....not me... This bothered me A LOT but I didn't need to be this lady's best friend, I needed to get my house, and everything seemed on schedule for me to get my house, so I just let it go. Now-- the inspection. That inspection came back saying the house had standing water underneath, major structural issues, signs of developing mold, cracks in the foundation, and - my favorite--"the floor isn't structurally sound enough to support the existing water heater"--no one was exactly sure how the water heater wasn't crashing through the floor. So, like any sane person, we said we'd like to back out. This is when the real issues started. We got all kinds of calls from Linda herself (gasp) telling us about how humans have fears when they're afraid of their own progress ... what? No, I have fears because my house can't support the weight of a water heater and is cracking from the foundation up. Long story short, we were told we aren't getting our money back that we put down. It's our fault that no one told us that the house has major issues that make it completely impossible to be lived in. So, I hope that Linda Craft and team can sleep at night, and I hope that whoever buys this house next checks out Yelp first because I'd hate for this to happen to anyone else. And I'm saving this to immediately repost when it gets deleted because from researching Linda Craft and Team since my horrific experience, I found out that they delete their bad reviews. The last thing they told us to do in order to remedy our problems was to "get a lawyer." Well, I would get a lawyer, but someone just stole thousands and thousands of dollars from me, so money's a little tight right now. read more

My original review was removed by yelp about a month after being asked by Linda Craft's team to remove it myself. Coincidence? It was short and sweet and to the point. I feel like I got "screwed" into the home I bought. I was misled every step of the way and given misinformation. So now I will give a much longer reason as to why I am only giving 1 star. I'm sure Linda knows my situation. She was quite familiar with what happened. August 2006 I was under contract for a house. The listing said "owner is getting a variance for the sunroom." I was told the reason for this is because he built a sunroom addition over the setback line and would just need to get a variance from the city of Raleigh. Right before closing, I was told that he didn't have time to get a variance before closing and that he had to close on another house and couldn't change the closing date. I was told that I could easily go down to the city of Raleigh, pay a couple hundred dollar fee, and get a variance myself after closing. For my inconvenience, they knocked some money off of our original contract price, and closing was still scheduled for the original date. There were also many items that I asked to be fixed prior to closing, but never got to check on, as the owner was still moving during my final walk through and we couldn't actually do a walk through. So I moved in. Most of the repairs were not done. My first week in the house, the skylights started leaking all over the sunroom. This was on my repairs list. My second week in the house, the master bedroom, kitchen, and laundry closet had no electrical. These were electrical repairs also not done on my repairs list that stemmed from an outside outlet. It was revealed later when I had to hire an electrical contractor that the prior homeowner buried live wires in the front yard, wrapped in a plastic grocery bag. Major fire hazard. I found out upon further need for repairs that this was the standard throughout the whole house. I'm surprised it never burned to the ground. When I was going to put my house on the market in 2007, I finally was going to go to the City of Raleigh to get my variance. At that time, I was told that not only did the previous owner build the sunroom addition over the setback line, BUT, he applied for a permit to build a sunroom, was DENIED by the City of Raleigh, and built it anyway. I then brought it to their attention that there was an illegal sunroom on my property. So not only was my variance not approved, but I was given 30 days to tear it down or be fined $500/day. $8,000 later, the sunroom was removed. During removal, we found more wires duct taped together and wrapped in plastic grocery bags inside the walls, the lattice from the original deck still in tact, as he built the illegal sunroom right on top of the original deck with no additional supports, and wood and support beams under the house were rotted in the crawlspace from improper drainage from the sunroom addition. Linda Craft was the initial listing agent for this property and I believe she knew that the sunroom was built illegally and therefore, did not encourage the owner to try to get the variance before I closed on the house. She wanted the sale to move along quickly. I was misled by both Linda Craft and my buyer's agent who also worked for Remax. I was a first time homebuyer. I didn't know any better. And I also didn't know that two Remax agents were probably not looking out for my best interests. I spoke to a couple of attorneys back in 2007 and 2008. I had a case and I could've pursued legal action; however, the stress, the money, and the amount of time that any court proceedings would've taken were not worth the extra stress for me. It was also not a guarantee that I would recoup the $8,000 from the sunroom repairs along with legal fees. The money had already been spent on the sunroom along with the various other repairs. Much like many other homeowners during the housing crisis, I lost a substantial amount of value on my house; however, some of mine stemmed from the loss of square footage from removal of a sunroom. I will never recoup the lost money, lost time, lost stress, etc from that nightmare house. During our time there, my husband and I spent over $31,000 on repairs and sunroom removal. I realize standard repairs are typical with any house; however, I would estimate half of our repairs stemmed from the prior homeowner's "do it yourself" sunroom and electrical disasters. We finally sold it at a loss in 2012 before it needed a new roof. Original purchase price $153,000 Amount for repairs/removal $31,379 Sold for $142,000 in 2012. read more

Linda Craft and Team has helped me sell and purchase a house. Every time I have worked with them the job gets done FAST. I sold a house in under a month with them. Recently I purchased a home using Kim Crump as the agent. We loved all the work she did for us and how timely her response was no matter the hour. This team is definitely recommended!! We could not be happier with our new purchase. Thank you! read more

Using Craft was one of the worst mistakes I made. I was lied to throughout the process. Linda's company told me to list my house at 315,000. After a time with no one looking at it She called me and stated that we have you home way over priced. And recommended we drop the price bu $30,000. Then she tried to convince me of a short sale which I would not quality for. Which if she was such an expert she would have done her research before hand and given me a more reasonable idea of what the house could sell for. She never had her so called team of realtors come out and look at my house. Linda never even stepped foot in my front door. She advised me to paint several rooms and change the red carpet. My house did not have red carpet, Through an email she told me she had a blonde moment and was looking at the wrong pictures. I would never recommend her company. She is great at marketing her self, but a horrible realtor. All they are concerned about is their commission......BEWARE!!!!!!! Sincerely Jason Dimitri (one pissed off customer of Linda Craft's) read more

In my business my clients moving to the Raleigh-Durham area often need a realtor referral. I have worked with Linda for over a decade with fantastic results. She is also a member of the luxury home marketing group and has advised me on which home improvements my wife and I should undertake to maximize the value of our home. read more

I've never know any Realtor or mentor that energizes people and produces leaders and success at all levels. Linda generates such an overwhelmingly positive reaction from hundreds and hundreds of clients, friends and peers. When you are thinking about Real Estate do not start tomorrow . . . start today. Call Linda! read more

Spoke to someone who couldn't answer any of my questions. Data dumped me a bunch of numbers.

I wish I had read Betsy L's review prior to signing with this Realtor. It appears much has not changed in 4 years or the Linda has so much business, losing one home does not make a difference. The communication of the agents that were assigned to me were very poor. I went from slimy salesman to prudish sales guy. I did not receive feedback after interested buyers came to my home unless I asked. Linda was obliging in giving me someone else to work with. When I told the second agent the problem I had was communication, it did not make a difference. I am still awaiting feedback from the last people who saw my home. Open House was a complete joke. The agent showed up late and I had to show a couple around my home. She came late and left early. There were only two signs placed in the back of my neighborhood advertising for the Open House where no one drives. My 14 year old could have placed the signs in a better location or better yet someone blind. I even took pictures of the TWO signs with no address and no directives on where to find my house because the last (third) sign was in front of my house. When I sent an e-mail to Linda about everything that took place, No response. Not one apology...nothing...unprofessional. At that point, I was done. I have never seen an agency that could care less about the seller. It felt more like I was doing them a favor. If I could give zero stars they would get negative zero. I do not recommend you signing with this agency unless they are the last ones around and maybe not even then. You're better off on your own as I did more correcting than anything else. Linda should be ashamed. read more

Highly Recommended for Selling! I utilized Linda and her very experienced team to assist me with a short sale. I was sorely under water in what apparently was a very slow growth part of town. Linda explained the entire process from top to bottom at our first meeting and everything worked out in the end as she described it. I had over 30 visits to my home in the first 2 months of listing, not to mention hundreds of views. Her team (I worked with Brenda and Keith) were masterful at what they did. They always kept me in the loop and achieved what I thought would be impossible - sold my house in less than 6 months read more

Linda Craft and Team have a great benefit after they sell your house. We used their truck to do some local household goods swap with my son. They made it so convenient to use the truck. A big help for a small job.Great pie too at Thanksgiving! read more

We found out about Linda using Dave Ramsey's ELP program. I'm glad we did! She was a pleasure to work with and so knowledgable about Raleigh, the market, and using the latest in social media to get our house in front of as many people as possible. Even though our circumstances were not favorable, she never gave up and worked with us on every angle to see what would help us out the most. In the end, the best thing for us was renting out our home. That's when we stared working with Katherin Burnette. She was wonderful!! Walked us through every step of renting our home. We had to move out of state before we found a renter and that's when she went above and beyond! What a great partner she was to us during that time. It was a very stressful time for us, being first time landlords and not being in the state, but she made us feel at ease and we could have never done it without her! I would recommend the Linda Craft Team to anyone out there trying to sell or rent their home. Or even if you don't know what you should do, they will help you! read more

Pamela helped find the perfect house for me and my kids! It was really challenging to find the right one, in the right neighborhood and for the price I could afford, and it took a LOT of patience to coordinate that AND my house-hunting schedule. Pamela is GREAT - so patient through a long process, and willing to go the extra mile to make things right. The complimentary moving van is a GREAT perk too! read more

The overall outcome is that our house sold. We closed yesterday. Although the first few months were not good, it turned out to be because of the Selling agent who is no longer with Linda Craft. The communications were poor and mostly via email or text. Once Steve took over, the house sold quickly although well below what we had originally listed for. But after 6 months we were already moved to SC and needed to sell the house in Wake Forest. Steve was great and kept us very informed and helped in our negotiations. Then when we began the closing Jennifer was also terrific to work with and helped immensely throughout the process. I only wish that we had been given to Steve in the beginning, as it would have provided a results sooner and perhaps at a better price. read more

When my wife and I set out to sell our home, we searched for top Realtors in the Raleigh area and found Linda Craft and her Team. Our first meeting with Linda was both professional and impressive. As our home was scheduled to go on the market, we started to run into some road bumps...couldn't get the stager to come out before the pictures, then some conflicts with scheduling the actual pictures, all minor, but a thorn in ones side. Once our home did go on the market, we were off and running. We would get weekly reports from Linda and her team from multiple sources which became a little too much. We commented on this on one of the 30-60-90 day surveys asking them to stop sending, but we continued to receive them...even the week after our house closed. I suppose we could have clicked the unsubscribe button as well. We continued to take the advice to drop the price of the home to get more leads and we did, but it was frustrating knowing that there was no discussion around a commission drop to help offset our hit on the price, so I was disappointed with that process. I appreciate that we sold our house, but to see the final HUD and know the Realtor is keeping 3X the amount that we netted, was hard to take in. I understand they have marketing cost and overhead, but in a tough market, I felt as though Linda and her team should have been more sensitive to that. She did put up an incentive for the buyers :) When we did get an offer, we never heard from Linda again. It was passed off to a closer, who was very professional and did take care of everything minus some minor things. Overall, I am pleased, however we did not become a "raving" fan as Linda had hoped for. If we are in the market to purchase a home in the area again or sell a home, I would at least look at other options first. read more

Please do not use these realtors. They nor the seller disclosed the fact that the home I was purchasing was in the RDU Noise Contour Zone 55. After a few weeks of closing - I noticed the air traffic noise was often and loud. When I contacted Linda Craft & Team, they denied my home being in the air noise zone and continue to deny this to date. I contacted RDU Air Noise Officer who informed me that we are and she violated the law of disclosure. Linda Craft has never returned any of my calls. Subsequently after almost 2 years I decided to file a complaint with the North Carolina Real Estate Commission. At this point it is an ethical principle. Also there were other items such as bats and the siding falling off the house which were never disclosed. The home inspector caught the siding issue but not the bats. In addition, her representative, Jennifer Hicks, was an hour late for closing and was rude and unapologetic for wasting everyone's time. I wish I would have read some of the similar reviews on Google about Linda Craft & Team however I was moving from out of state. Linda Craft has never given me the courtesy of a return call. Jennifer Hicks insists there is no need for filing a complaint or to consult and attorney in this matter ... hmmm. I did consult an attorney as I believe I have a case however the stress, the money, and the amount of time that any court proceedings would've taken were not worth it. Hopefully her peers are NCREC agree with me and then I will then reconsider. There are a lot of agents in Raleigh that have a team that are more ethical than Linda Craft's. Don't let the Carolina Hurricanes sponsorship persuade you. Please do not use this realtor - she is unethical and I hope she is fined and her license is taken away by NCREC. Do Not Use Linda Craft & Team. PS as per other reviews - the legal disclosure of the air traffic noise is an issue with this realtor. A house closing should be a happy and enjoyable time however Linda Craft & Team made it one of the worst experiences I have ever experienced. Hopefully this will not be an issue when I decide to sell however I will disclose this to any prospective buyers AS REQUIRED BY LAW! read more
