We were so fortunate to have Steve help us find a property for our college daughter. Since we were out of state, Steve viewed properties for us like it was for his own daughter and made sure both the property and the area were safe with good bus access. His knowledge of the market was critical since properties were selling quickly. With his advice and ability to negotiate with the seller's agent, we submitted a competitive offer and got the perfect condo! Steve - We can't thank you enough!

Report
We worked with Steve Doyle of NewStone Realty to sell our house in Southern Village and really could not recommend him more as a real estate agent. Even though Steves commission is much lower than a conventional real estate fee, his service is more than my family has ever received. He helped us to not only negotiate the sale of our house but was able to get a bid higher than our asking price. He was assertive when it came to items that would cost us money, such as repair negotiations after inspection, but was not aggressive or rude to any of the parties involved and served well as our advocate

Amy Bytnar is the best realtor I know! My husband and I used Amy to both buy and sell a home. Amy is incredibly thorough. She would go into attics and crawl spaces and she knows a lot about structural issues relating to houses and was able to help guide us well. Additionally, when we ran into a very complex issue with our appraisal, Amy went toe-to-toe with the appraiser, fought for us, and won! Because if Amys efforts, our house appraised so we could sell for top dollar. If you need a realtor in the Triangle, look no further than Amy Bytnar, because she is the hardest working, kindest, most

Buying a home with Amy by my side was made easy with all her expertise, knowledge and patience. She was so helpful with the entire process, from searching for the right home for our needs to organizing and finalizing all the details necessary for closing. Amy was always available for any questions I had and of course to show me homes. I truly enjoyed having Amy as my agent that went above and beyond, such a blessing she was recommended to me!
