Trevor gave us great advice on what was needed to be done to sell our home.

He was able to help us with every problem we ran into and checked in on us to ensure we had everything we needed.

The whole team at NextHome Rare Properties is top tier and makes us feel like family.

Timothy Peterson

Patty has been working with my wife and I the past six years to find a home in the Raleigh are.

We can't say enough great things about Patty's patience, knowledge and understanding of what we wanted. She also provided advice on builders and places for us to shop for things for the new house. I don't think anyone could find a more qualified broker for the area.

Richard Romano

Both were personable, and professional. They understood our needs, and patiently coached us to our very best home. Everything went smoothly from our first meeting through closing. Thank you1

Dwight Levi

Trevor was absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire process of selling our home.

After the initial meeting with Trevor, we knew we would be in good hands with him and his team. He was professional, kind, responsive, and knowledgeable. He kept us up to date and informed during every step and made it all super easy. After we did our part in getting our home ready to sell, he did his part. We were under contract in just a few short days! We look forward to working with him during the purchase of our new home in the near future. We Highly recommend Trevor and his team!

Becky Milam

We worked with Christine and Trevor to sell our home in Raleigh, NC during July of 2021.

From the beginning, this team helped us understand the process, priced our home appropriately, guided us on staging and repairs, helped us through a surprising need to re-list, and communicated regularly as closed after moving to another state. Would highly recommend to all!

Will Bocholis

Trevor did an amazing job for me in selling a rental property that had an active tenant, which is a feat in and of itself.

He was communicative at every point in the process, kept me informed of any step that I needed to do and went above and beyond most realtors. He actively had discussions with the tenant, the HOA association, the closing attorney, and the inspector and repairmen. I didn't have to lift a finger except to sign documents when needed. He is knowledgeable, responsive and communicative, which is what you would love to have in a realtor. I utilized Trevor before to buy my current house, but this was my first experience with Trevor as a selling agent. I would highly recommend him as either a buyers agent or a sellers agent. Thanks so much Trevor.

Reggie Jackson (Product Monitoring Lead)

Christine and Trevor worked with us to sell our home in Greenville, NC and helped us relocate to Raleigh,NC.

Christine coordinated the process of visiting 55 plus communities in the Raleigh Area and helped us locate the perfect community. From lot selection, construction, home inspection and closing process she was right there advocating for us. She is very professional, knowledgeable, a great researcher and very personable. We love our new home and would recommend Christine helping you find your perfect home.

Trevor and Christine helped us to find our first and second home in Clayton.

They are very professional and knowledgeable.I highly recommend them and would love to work with them again in the future.

We couldn't have gotten through our long, arduous house search process without Patty!

We were first time homebuyers during one of the hardest times to buy, and Patty was always a great advocate and cheerleader for us. Thank you Patty!!

Paige K

Working with Patty has been a wonderful experience and I truly cannot recommend her services enough!

Her knowledge of the market in the Triangle area helped us narrow down our choices easily. Patty was always available to answer any and all of our questions and gave us so much needed reassurance during such a stressful market! There is absolutely no one else we could have trusted more. Should we ever need someone to represent us with any real estate needs in the future, Patty is the only person we will call!

Stephan Miles

For my job I work with a lot of vendors and partners, the NextHome Rare Properties team and Patty Topakian, in particular, know what outstanding customer service is.

They made the process of selling my Mother's townhouse efficient and streamlined from repairs and sprucing through closing. They really go the extra mile to make things easy for their clients and I appreciated it. Highly recommend this team!

Deneen Winters Bloom (VP of Client Success)

Trevor is an outstanding Real Estate professional.

His knowledge of the market, not only in the Triangle, but regions as well, is top-notch. You couldn't ask for a better individual to entrust your home purchase or home sale with than Trevor Smith. He's a ROCK STAR in the Real Estate market.

Terry R. Lamberson (Director of Finance)

Patty Topakian found us an incredible home in North Raleigh in a highly competitive real estate market where homes are bought and sold within hours of being listed.

Her years of experience with respect to the the real estate market and ability to evaluate homes with respect to their true market value made all the difference in finding the right home for us. Patty was able to fully understand our son's accessibility needs, and how those needs translated into finding a home that would work for a physically disabled person. I would recommend Patty to anyone trying to buy or sell a home. She made our dream come true.

Frank D'Angelo (Director of Information Technology - Summit Technology Group)

Trevor is an excellent realtor, and provided the best possible support for the sale of our home.

He was always available to help and answer questions, no matter how ridiculous the request was. Additionally, he his expert support team helped stage our house such that we got tens of thousands over asking and even sold higher than neighbors with significantly bigger houses! I have and will continue to recommend Trevor to anyone who might have need of his services, he's the best!

Steven Bush (Engineering Manager)

Christine know RDU real-estate and was the most excellent resource and guide on our journey to purchase a home.

On top of being an expert in her field, she is an amazing person who will do whatever she can to help.

Jacob Williams

We worked with Chris and her colleague Trevor to sell our house in Raleigh, NC during the summer of 2021.

This was our first experience selling a house (and in an unusual market) so we especially appreciated their knowledge and professionalism. We ran into some difficult and frustrating situations during our selling process, and Chris and Trevor were with us every step of the way to offer guidance, patience, and reassurance. We moved out of our house and out of state while we were still in the process of selling, and they looked after our house and made sure we made it all the way through to closing. So grateful to have had these two to answer all of our questions along the way. Highly recommend to anyone in the Triangle!

Casey Holmes

Is there an option to give ABOVE 5 stars?

! Trevor Smith is an exceptional realtor. From the moment we said we wanted to list our house to close, he was with us every step of the way. His advice and guidance definitely speaks to how knowledgeable he is about the home market, industry and trends. I highly recommend Trevor whether you are buying or selling! He is not only an amazing realtor, but by the end, you'll be best friends with him. He truly takes the time to help, guide and educate. I felt the whole time he truly cared about our home as much as we did and wanted nothing but the best for us. We never felt pressured to make a decision we weren't comfortable with. Choose Trevor! He'll be in your corner and you'll love the end result.

Beth Bush

Working with Trevor was great.

..he helped us find our house 6 years ago (2016) and we kept in touch with him. When we decided to sell our house (2022), we contacted Trevor and he was more than happy to assist us. The process was simple and straight forward. I would recommend Trevor to anyone looking to buy or sell their house.

Tim Schultz

Trevor was an awesome realtor to work with from start to finish.

He was organize, prepared and professional. He made the home selling process seamless. The extra details and marketing materials provided to potential buyers were far beyond our expectations.

Rebecca Lotz

Leslie did an amazing job assisting my fiancé and I with the purchase of our first home.

Her knowledge, guidance and expertise was incredibly helpful and gave us all the confidence we needed during the process. She was responsive, patient and a wonderful resource. I would highly recommend Leslie to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

Caroline Wright

Where to begin in my praise of Ms.

Patty? She was steadfast and an excellent advocate on my behalf during my long-distance purchase. She is kind, smart, patient and someone you should count yourself as lucky to have on your side. I am a challenging customer to please because my mother is a seasoned real estate broker, so I know I hold the bar high based on years of watching her commitment to her clients. However, Patty delivers in spades! I am very grateful for her support.

Kristine Curtis

Trevor did a phenomenal job helping me find my perfect home.

He went above and beyond my expectations with every task involved with the purchase process.Trevor was extremely responsive to all my questions and kept me updated with any changes related to my home. I absolutely recommend Trevor and Christine for your next home purchase.

Sandeep Gavankar

I rarely write reviews, but I had to in this case!

I would HIGHLY recommend Christine Molloy to anyone searching for a new or forever home. My husband and I are from Florida and needed to relocate to North Carolina. The big catch: we were only in town for 2 and a half weeks and we really wanted to find something while we were in town. Christine worked tirelessly to help us find a home - and we did! Our new home meets and EXCEEDS our expectations! We were tired and stressed, but Christine was always patient and cheerful. Even having other clients, we always felt that she was reachable and available. If you are looking for a honest, pleasant, and hard-working realtor, look no further - Christine Molloy is the right woman for the job!

Michelle Kisielewicz (Ballroom Dance Professional)

Patty, is the absolute best realtor.

She handled the purchase and then years later sale of a townhouse I purchased for my daughter when she was at graduate school. Since I was out of area she went far beyond what you would except to help us purchase , even maintain along the way and eventually sell. She is the best. No BS :)

Jerry Schiano

Trevor was amazing to work with.

This was my second time selling a house and each time the process is different; depending on the market or the house. Trevor walked me through every step of the process, kept me informed on an updates, and provided me all the support I needed. He is an expert in his field and would trust him to help me through the process again.

Jarrett Bailess

My family absolutely loved the level of professionalism and dedication that Patty provided in finding our new home.

The market is so tough right now, but she stuck with us and found the perfect home in a great neighborhood with both meeting all of our needs and in our budget. We purchased our home, sight unseen based on Patty’s inspection. She learned what we needed for accessibility , neighborhood and must haves. We highly recommend Patty.

Jack Montgomery

Thank you Patty!

Despite having hard to find specifications for a home, she stuck with us and has made our move to Raleigh happen. Patty was amazingly attentive and responsive to all of our questions and concerns. We would highly recommend Patty to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

Julia D'Angelo

Trevor is the kindest and most helpful person I’ve ever met.

He was always there to answer any questions I had to help me make the most educated decisions. He will look out for what is best for you and guide you. It’s like working with a family member who is looking out for your best interests. I’d recommend him to anyone I know. He is a wonderful person and even more incredible real estate agent!

Jodi Schoenberger (Diamond Consultant )

Our house search lasted about a year during a time of short inventory and massive demand in the RTP/Cary area.

Christine stuck with it, searching out the scarce inventory for houses that met our sometimes divergent interests and didn't falter even when we sometimes irrationally didn't like a house that seemed to meet all our demands. And always with a smile and a great attitude. When we did find a house, she (and Tera) worked with us to navigate the buying process (seller was a relo company).

Hascall Sharp

Trevor and Chris were awesome!

Best real estate team I've worked with. They are on top of things like no other team I have ever experienced. Will most definitely recommend them to anyone I know looking to buy.

Todd Melton (Homebuyer)

Trevor and Christine were PHENOMENAL!

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with them. They understood exactly what I wanted and worked hard to find the perfect home for me! They answered every question and provided all of the the resources and expertise I needed along the way.

Sarah Hurst-Kumar

Trevor is an excellent realtor!

! He was easy to work with and wanted our happiness and satisfaction always. No pressure and always pleasant with a great sense of humor. Highly recommend!!!

Lisa Sharp

This team made my first time home buying experience so easy!

Would definitely recommend. Now the hard part... packing!

Jason G

Trevor made me feel so supported throughout the entire process of buying my first home.

He goes above and beyond. Thank you!

Frank Macri (President)

This was the first time purchasing a home on my own in 16 years.

It was an invaluable resource having Trevor there to support me but also allow me to claim this accomplishment ( if that makes sense). He was there for me with educated and informed decisions and recommendations, but gave me the room to make my choices. Very responsive to my emails, texts and questions. I have joked with him that we found the perfect home for me so I will never be moving. But I will be happy to share his information with my friends and coworkers so he can also make their dreams come true ??.

Holly Jones (RN)

Trevor and his team have taken excellent care of us during multiple searches and the purchase of two properties!

!! Very quick, responsive, and extremely attentive to all details and our best interests. We will definitely continue to use this team as our family needs and investment opportunities grow. You should too!!! Thank you to Trevor, Christine, and support team for all of your assistance in our most recent purchase!!!

Bill Britt (Healthcare Administration )

Trevor helped us find our dream home!

He was patient with our questions and a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for helping us Trevor!

Lemontrel

Christine is an excellent agent!

I have bought and sold a number of houses and Christine is by far the most diligent agent I have worked with. Christine really listens and is able to consider many complex variables and help find just the right property. I was sad when the sale was over because Christine is also funny and great to be around!

Lisa Adams Somerlot (Director of Counseling and Psychological Services )

Trevor and Christine were an amazing team!

We relocated back to this area from the West Coast and had some fairly specific wants and needs in a home for our family. They were professional, assessing our needs and helped us navigate a tricky market; we never felt pressured or rushed in our decisions. We have the perfect home for our family, and felt supported throughout the process. This is the second and not the last time we will be using Trevor!

Scott Kline

Trevor Smith was very easy to work with he listened to what we were looking for and took us to houses that fit our needs.

He was with us throughout the process of building our house and followed up with the builder throughout the closing. He provided us with quality people as we were new to the area. He has very good relationships with lawyers, insurance agents, contractors. He was always available and always got us quick responses. I would highly recommend Trevor and will definitely use him again if i buy or sell.

Alan G & Amy M Solotky

Trever and Christine made everything easy.

They were easy to get a hold of, quick to respond, and available to help with anything we needed. They were also proactive in finding us our home -- sending links, making suggestions, walking with us through many different homes, and using their experience and knowledge of the local market to help us make the right choice. I highly recommend them.

Holly Sweetwood

Leslie was awesome in all facets of the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home.

She has a good handle on the market trends and and was a great resource in helping us find a great neighborhood for our family to relocate for our local move. She was able to refer us to reputable companies and contractors when needed and just made the process so easy. I would highly recommend her!

Robert Nash

We recently purchased a townhome in Raleigh.

We chose Christine Molloy and Trevor Smith as our realtors. We were out of state and on a tight timeframe. We couldn't have been more happy with their expertise and dedicated effort in helping us find the perfect property sight unseen. We had a lot of specifics we needed and they were diligent in finding us the right place at the right price. We would give them 10 stars if that were an option! We are more than happy to recommend their services to anyone. Lloya Hall

Lloya Hall

Trevor and his team are Top of Class.

We worked with Christine Molloy who stuck with us for over 2 years while we looked at home after home. She probably was ready to pull her hair out. She persisted in the most professional way and was able to find us the home we were looking for at a good value in this crazy sellers market. Kudos to Team Smith at Next Home
