Buyer

I sold and bought a few houses during the last 20 years moving around the East Coast. I think Clem is the best realtor I have ever met. 1) he knows everybody and has a superior knowledge of the territory. He tells you where to go, where NOT to go, and which neighbour is appropriate for your family and future. 2) he is a master in negotiation. A true pitbull, working for you, and chewing the other side until you get what you want, a good deal, extended warranty, discounts, and extras. 3) he is ve...

Buyer

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Clem Satterfield! We were living in Colorado and wanted to purchase a home in Highlands, North Carolina—one of the most coveted resort towns in the Smoky Mountains. Buying from out of state can be stressful, but Clem made the entire process smooth, clear, and confidence-inspiring from start to finish. His market knowledge and negotiation skills are exceptional. Clem was able to negotiate a huge $90,000 price reduction off the listed pr...

Working with Clem Satterfield to sell our home was an absolute five-star experience from start to finish. From our very first conversation, it was clear I was working with a true professional who had a thoughtful strategy, a clear marketing plan, and a deep understanding of the local market. Thanks to Clem strategic pricing, targeting marketing, and expert guidance, my home sold in just 48 hours and was under contract before I knew it, far exceeding my expectations. The quality of the photos, li...

Buyer

Clem is incredibly nice and very responsive. We saw a lot of houses and we thought we would never find something we loved in our price range but Clem always reassured us and kept us hopeful. He was right and we found the perfect place! He made our first time home-buying a great experience. Couldn't recommend him more!

Buyer

Clem is one of the best real estate agent I have come across. He was referred to me by one of my coworkers and our experience with him has exceeded all our expectations. He is very professional and one of most prompt and responsive people I have ever met. He is a very honest, patient with customers, and extremely knowledgable about the research triangle area. Over the course of our interactions with him, we has developed a really nice friendship with him. Our home-buying experience was a pleasur...
