How do we possibly fit everything there is to say about our wonderful realtor, Pete Eisenmann? We first worked with Pete five years ago when my now-husband was purchasing his first home and reached out to Urban Durham. Pete guided him through the purchase of a foreclosed townhome that after five years was worth almost triple what he got it for. But our friendship with Pete didnt stop when the transaction closed. Over the years, we kept in touch, making sure to fill each other in on life from time to time.
Cue five years later, were married, and looking to sell his townhome and purchase

Ellen Bell is exceptional! We have bought and sold twice with Ellen, and her guidance has been spot on every time. She understood exactly what we were looking for and, in partnership with Ryan, was always quick and efficient in a wild market. Her knowledge of the process, robust contacts, and advocacy for us as buyers and sellers was top notch!

Ellen Bell helped me buy my first home in Spring 2021. I cant imagine being successful in this endeavor without her knowledge and expertise. She explained terminology to me so that I had a working knowledge of the process, which helped me truly determine what I wanted in a house. Ellens strong skillset and experience in the Durham market resulted in me closing on my first home during one of the wildest seasons the Triangle housing market has seen. Shes also fun to work with. I recommend Ellen and her assistant Ryan to anyone looking to purchase a home, and feel comfortable and confident

Ellen Bell has helped us with 3 purchases and one sale now, and we can no longer imagine working with anyone else.
Ellen's encyclopedic knowledge of every aspect of the purchase, sale, and repairs -- and her robust network of vendors -- have made every transaction as easy as possible. Would add a sixth star if I could!

I have never left a review before because reviewing a person makes me uncomfortable but I feel compelled to write one because of how spectacular Mary Hartzell is at her work. I started the home buying process overwhelmed and in need of consultation, guidance, and patience. Mary went above and beyond what I expected in every single way. She was knowledgeable about all steps of the process, listened to my needs in a home and my priorities, was attentive and responsive, and provided direct and candid advice. Cannot recommend her enough.
