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 :)

I just want to start by saying that Christine as a God send. She helped us find an amazing rental here in Raleigh while we were still living in Florida. Then when it was time to buy a house, we told her what we wanted and she was able to read between the lines and really figure out what we needed. Her thorough knowledge of the area helped us find an amazing house that met our needs and wants. She was there every step of the way from answering any and all of our questions, big or small. She never let us feel lost or confused with any of the stressful steps of the home buying process. Now that we have closed, she continues to provide us with excellent recommendations for trusted professionals who are helping us make home improvements. Christine has become more than just our realtor, she also became a great friend. We would highly recommend Christine for helping anyone find their next great home.

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.

From listing to closing Patty was tremendous. Communication was easy and very efficient. Patty answered all inquiries and questions along the process quickly and clearly. Patty made the selling of my home easy. It was a pleasure working with her and her team. I highly recommend Patty and her team at NextHome RARE properties.

I was referred to Patty by a friend when I was "loosely" thinking of
buying my first home. Patty was patient with me knowing I was in no rush. She was readily available by text and e-mail and always on time to see properties. Before I knew it I made an offer on a property, and from there she was very reliable with a open line of cimmunication. I'm glad to have had her on my team as this process was new to me and she helped to make it smooth and streamlined!

Patty was fantastic!!! She went far and above the call of duty to get my house sold. She offered great advice and worked with me along the way, always setting my mind at ease. She made the process as a seller as stress free as it could be with a big smile all along the way!!! Choose Patty for your Raleigh And Surrounding Metro area needs!!! There is none better!!! Thanks for everything, Patty!!!!

Patty worked with me to find a townhome for my daughter as well as help me prepare for and list my current home in Durham, NC. I have never encountered anyone in the real estate business that was more available, prompt and timely regarding all aspects of the buying and selling process. She made my daughter feel comfortable as a brand new home buyer and has been in constant communication with me as we schedule and get feedback on my home that is for sale. She knows her stuff - in and out - and has done all of the leg work for me and my daughter. Thank you Patty for an exceptional buying and (hopefully soon) selling experience!!

Buying a house is probably one of the most important and stressful experiences people encounter during their lives. It is very important to engage the right person who provides personalized service to guide you through this purchase. We are so glad that Trevor recommended Christine to us. She is wonderful! She went over above and beyond and have been very responsive since day 1! We could not have asked for a better Realtor to guide us through the process. Thank you so much Chris!

As a first-time homebuyer, who decided to build his first home, it was great to have Trevor by our side. He assured all of our needs were met and that all questions were answered appropriately. He was our advocate throughout the entire process! Should the need arise - Trevor will definitely be our man!

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.

We have bought and sold several houses with Trevor as our realtor. He is awesome! He is professional, his marketing strategies are the best, he keeps everything on track and reduces the stress for the buyer/seller. I had feedback from other realtors that his work was impeccable and one closing attorney office that they had never worked with such an on the ball realtor. He is great!!

Patty has helped us with three homes now. Our first was in 2014 when we moved from up north and she was an excellent resource and partner in the moving process. She ran errands for us as we were not able to do much from so far away. We ended up in a great neighborhood close to all we needed which was great to establish roots in the area. She was attentive, very friendly, knew the area and had great recommendations. Smooth process, even when dealing with difficult sellers on closing day.
The 2nd home was for my parents and again she was excellent with her communication and follow through. She was always available to answer our questions throughout the process. Smooth process.
Our most recent purchase was our upgraded home. This was a year long process of viewing over a dozen homes and always keeping our options open. She was always very attentive, diligent in her research of the home and area, and was always flexible with her schedule to come and meet us for a viewing. She has been our rock during a difficult mortgage process where we had to switch lenders after our close date due to incompetence of lender. Her recommendation of a new mortgage banker and lender saved the day and got us into our new home! Couldn't have gotten through without her.
Thank you so much Patty! Always our #1 choice!

Trevor Smith recently helped me sell my house. He was professional and patient with me as I determined my priorities. Then his suggestions were spot on and he made sure my wants and needs were met through the whole process. His caring personality made this difficult life transition much easier for me and I would gladly recommend him for anyone wanting the personal touch rather than just a business transaction.

Trevor Smith was recommended by a friend to help me find a home in the Raleigh area, as I transitioned into retirement from Northern VA. When we met, Trevor asked me questions to help him strategize the type of home and area that would fit my active lifestyle and showed me numerous beautiful homes to consider. On my second visit to Raleigh, I was ready to buy a home and narrowed it down to two he had showed me. Trevor added one more home we hadn't seen before that he thought I just might like and the minute we drove through the neighborhood and stepped inside the house, I knew it would be my new home. Trevor has a listening ear, insightful wisdom and calm demeanor to help guide me through the up's and down's of home buying. I wake up every day in my new home with a grateful heart. Thank you, Trevor, for finding my perfect home.

Trevor was recommended to me by friends. Several of their family members had used him as their realtor and we’re very happy with him. They did not steer me wrong. He sat down with me and discussed my goals for selling my home. Then he made it happen. He is knowledgeable, professional, and personable. I would never use anyone else if selling/buying a home in the areas surrounding Raleigh.

This was the first time my wife and I have sold a home. We could not have had a better experience than the one we had with Leslie. She was extremely thorough walking us through the selling process. From the professional photos taken of our home to negotiations with potential buyers Leslie’s communication and readiness to help was very impressive. Ohh yeah and our house sold in ten days. Thanks Leslie for your hard work and making this process so easy for our family!!!

My husband and I were looking for a home in North Carolina and Patty Topakian was our realtor. She helped us find a beautiful home. We were from out of state and had little time to look for a home. When we met with Patty to view homes, she was well organized and constructed the day to view efficiently the types of homes we wanted. She was extremely knowledgeable and was very efficient about obtaining information needed to make a wise choice in a home. We had a wonderful experience with Patty because she was so good at her profession. She took care of everything and we closed on our home without any problems. We highly recommend Patty. Not only is she knowledgeable, experienced and ethical, but also, she was simply a pleasure to deal with.

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.

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.

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 is outstanding to work with both on the seller and the buyer side. He not only helped us find our DREAM home but he also help us navigate through a stressful sale of our old home. He is always present in every conversation and always has your best interest in hand. This is the 2nd home we have sold and purchased with Trevor in the last 6 years and each experience exceeded our expectations. I will continue to refer Trevor and his team to any of my friend and colleagues that are looking in the Greater Raleigh Area!

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.

Trevor was an outstanding realtor. He was with me from the beginning of my search process, through a For Sale By Owner (which fell through due to the owner changing his mind), through the search process again, and finally the closing on my new home, which I love! Trevor was very professional and was always willing to answer texts with questions that I had and he kept me informed of everything I needed to know and shielded from things I didn't need to know nor cared about (as lawyers emailed legalese during the closing process).

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 ??.

Patty was a fantastic partner in helping me sell my parents home. She was everything you could dream of in a real estate broker, and so much more. Patty was insightful and detail oriented in all areas including: when to list the house, listing price (balancing not only our desire to get as much for it as possible, but also selling quickly), how to stage the house, how to balance open houses and listing appointments, and most importantly in the negotiating, closing the deal, and buttoning up all the millions of things that need to be done. Patty was empathetic, dedicated, efficient and thorough in her communication, extremely organized and trustworthy, and honestly a delight to work with. We felt extremely well taken care of during every step of the process. I can't imagine that selling my parents home from out-of-town could have gone half as smoothly with anyone other than Patty. A pure delight, whom I whole-heartedly recommend.

We had many requirements of a new residence, and Patty combed through countless listings to find us the ideal home. Thank you Patty!

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).

Trevor and his partner, Christine, were AWESOME. We felt so supported and in such good hands all the way through the experience of buying our house. Our home needed some work done and Christine did fabulously negotiating with the seller to help cover the costs. We felt all along that she was recommending experts that she had personal experience with, which was really comforting. But Christine and Trevor also just saw us through the ins-and-outs of the whole process in a way that was so thoughtful and informative. There were no surprises - they prepared us for everything throughout. Even the last-minute stuff that popped up, they were able to go to bat about and make it all work out smoothly and on-schedule. Fantastic, thoughtful, personable, professional. We're first-time home-owners and we are SO grateful we worked with Trevor and Christine. They're really the greatest.

Trevor assisted me in the purchase of vacant land.
Buying real estate is a big decision. It is both exciting and to be honest, terrifying.
I wanted to have someone I knew I could depend on for support in making the right decisions and ensuring the process was seamless.
Trevor was that person. His knowledge and skill were essential in making sure that things were handled with great care and detail. In the real estate world it is many times a challenge to find someone who makes you feel like your search/offer/ and contract is their number one priority. Trevor was excellent at relaying updates and communicating the next steps throughout the entire process. He was realistic about concerns I had and provided sound advice while also always being supportive in the decisions that I made.
Thank you Trevor for help!

OK!!! Do you have 100 STARS, because 5 is not enough. There aren't enough great words to explain who, what, how, when, where of Patty. My sister used her and "loves her some Patty" as she says. So of course, I made her my choice. Now I have purchased two homes in the past, and had used the same realtor, but wanted to go with Patty and so glad I did.
Customer Focused - Always there, I thought I was her only client even though I knew I was not. This is how she made me and my husband feel.
Accountable - What ever she said, SHE DID !! Time scheduled, she was there before. Call needed, made before you even knew it. What do you need, already had it done before you even thought to ask for it.
Ethical - Did everything in a manner of so much respect, so much integrity, so much trust, so much dignity, so MUCH PATTY. I love her, I really truly do. If she needed my kidney, she could have it. When is the surgery, I will be there.
All of the tools she uses to run her business, from DocuSign, to assistants there when needed. I'm in tears because there are no words good enough to explain Patty.

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.

Trevor worked very hard to sell our home. He ensured we didn’t lose money while helping us to negotiate fairly. Trevor was easy to work with and easy to reach at all times.

Trevor is an excellent realtor. He was patient with us as we looked at many, many houses. He really listened when we told him what we were looking for and didn't push us to go above our price point. Very responsive with any questions we had, even after purchasing our home. Would 100% recommend.

Trevor did an outstanding job being available and communicative during my hunt for a new home. From the beginning, he was always readily accessible to meet at any property and wrote up offers immediately after given the order. After my offer was accepted on my now-home he was attentive and helpful for me each step along the way from hiring a great inspector to establishing and maintaining solid communication with the sellers and listing agent.
It was a pleasure to work with Trevor and I would recommend him to anyone, especially to first-time buyers.

Trevor came highly recommended by a recruiter while i was looking to relocate here to Raleigh from Florida with my family. I was looking for a rental property and worked with both Trevor and Christine Molloy. They were both very knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful in getting us a rental property here in Raleigh. Then when it was time to purchase our home the team of Trevor and Christine helped us find that one perfect house. We are very happy and grateful to have found Trevor and Christine to help during what can normally be a very stressful time. Highly recommend.

Patty was amazing to work with. She had our house on the market within a few days of us initially contacting her. She was willing to work with our quick timeline and did not cut any corners to get it done. She had professional photos taken and gave us great advice on pricing. Our house had multiple showings per day and sold in just 8 days! I would guess there isn’t another realtor in business that could match her communication skills and response time. She was quick to answer questions and helped us find resources for repairs.

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!

Christine was an amazing asset in the purchase of my mom's new home. She took the time to understand our unique situation, found properties that would fit her needs, and helped us negotiate a great deal. Even during COVID, she met with us every step of the way, and she was creative in making the process seamless. I would highly recommend Christine Molloy and NextHome RARE Properties.

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.

Trevor is extremely professional and has the ability to calm people when they are stressed or agitated. Always digs for statistics to share with his client so they can make informed decisions. Never views anything as a problem. Hands on - came to my home several times to meet contractors since I had already moved out of state when my home was on the market. Honest, has integrity and easy to work with.

Patty and her team went above and beyond for my wife and I. They worked around the clock to make a difficult closing happen on the house that our heart fell for (thanks to her finding it!). Patty and her business partner, Denise are amazing people who believe in their motto of "Humans Over Houses." I feel a huge debt of gratitude to the NextHome team and couldn't recommend them more!!

Christine was extremely helpful throughout our home buying process. She was helping us to purchase an investment property and was always willing to provide advice for everything from which properties to look at, how to get financing, and coordinating the closing.
Also, she is a very friendly person to work with which makes all of the tedious things about the process much less of a hassle.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

I was very anxious going into the house buying process. I had many questions and little knowledge of the process of buying a home. Christine was the perfect person to help me through the process. She was very knowledgeable of the area and helped guide me through the process. She was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend using her when buying your next home!

Christine was recommended from another person from Offerpad. I called Christine she was friendly and professional over the phone. My husband and I met her in person we had a instant connection. Christine had all of her information together and from that meeting Christine worked hard and kept us in the loop. I was able to call her whenever I had a question and I was well informed about every step of the way. I would recommend Christine to friends because she’s that good.

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!

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
