Sold By Starkey Team - Powered by Compass

Aw shucks, thanks Hank & Mary! 🥰
PS - Broke the record for highest price per square foot ever in the neighborhood on this one. 💪

Susie made some dreams come true this weekend! Congrats to her buyers!

Well, she didn't get the nickname "Susie Sunshine" without positivity. 😉🌞

From luxury sales down to a truly accessible price point; from spacious to cozy; from Apex to Angier, between & beyond…. everything we’ve sold in the last month has gone for at or above list price with strong interest in just 1 day! It’s not coincidence and it’s not just the market. It’s strategy, preparation, and expertise. Is your home next???

With over 100,000 licensed agents in NC, we’re honored to be ranked #62 in NC on teams list based on volume! And we never spent a dime advertising or buying leads to get there. We give our clients the best service possible and let them spread the word. Thank you all for your continued business, referrals, and most of all, trust. 🖤

The kitchen on this one. 😍
Located in popular Abbington, this home exudes classic style but with all the right updates. Updated kitchen, sleek bathrooms, sensible floor plan, HUGE mudroom to hide all the stuff, and more. It's situated on a fenced corner lot complete with a both a wooded area offering the shade of mature trees and plenty of grassy spaces to play. The location can't be beat with access to 540 and Hwy 64, Beaver Creek shopping & dining, and charming downtown Apex all just minutes away. For more info, photos, and a stunning video, visit www.109chilcott.info or contact Shannon Foltz.

This price point is almost non-existent for a detached home in the Triangle area…. especially on over 1/2 acre with fresh paint and carpet throughout! The huge screened porch is our favorite feature, followed closely by the vaulted ceilings. For more info and photos, visit www.199garydenning.info or contact Kevin Starkey.

Not a bad weekend to do business with Sold By Starkey! Beautiful work by Susie Friedel & Jen Woodward, and big congrats to their clients!

We love supporting Open Arts! Best dance community we could have ever hoped for! ❤️

Saturday Sponsor Spotlight: Sold By Starkey 🏠​​​​​​​​​We want to give a shout out to for sponsoring our Showcase Performances and being proud Open Arts Parents, too! When it's time to buy, sell, or move, you're going to want the Best of the Best on your side and that means you're going to want to work with Sold by Starkey!​​​​​​​​​

Why wait on all the new construction in Harnett County when you can move in to this like-new home right away without the wait! Plus, wooded lots that measure well over an acre certainly aren't a dime a dozen. Inside you'll find a first-floor primary suite, cathedral ceilings, upgraded everything in the kitchen, and so much more! For more info, visit www.474villagebend.info or contact Susie Friedel.

THANK YOU!!! Your generosity and concern for NC families resulted in a donation of over 15,000 items to the NC Diaper Bank this year! And the team wrapped enough diapers to distribute to 175 babies on Tuesday!

Making it even easier to enjoy all Fuquay has to offer!

The Fuquay-Varina Social District will officially open this Thursday at 4 pm in both downtown districts!

What's a social district?
➡ An area where you can carry alcoholic drinks bought from participating ABC-permitted businesses.
➡ Beverages must be consumed and disposed of within the boundaries, which will be clearly marked with signs.
➡ Participating businesses will serve beverages in approved cups that display the Fuquay-Varina Social District label.

Hours of operation:
➡ Thursday and Friday: 4 pm – 9 pm
➡ Saturday: 12 pm – 9 pm

Participating businesses will fall into one of three categories, indicated by a window decal:
➡ Beverages Welcome (Beverages may be brought into the establishment)
➡ Beverages Sold Here (Beverages are sold and allowed in the establishment)
➡ Please No Beverages (Beverages are not allowed in the establishment)

Visit FVSocialDistrict.org to review the maps, rules, and a list of participating businesses.

This client didn't know Brad before she started working with him, but by the end of the process she had so many great things to say that to say we could hardly fit it all in a square! Congrats on a job well done!

All the good feelings over these 3 contracts from the weekend + 3 sweet listings hitting the market over the next week! (Stay tuned!) Inventory is low in the hot spots, but more stable in other areas, meaning there are opportunities for buyers and sellers right now. Shoot us a message and let’s figure out how to move those real estate day dreams to real estate realities!

The Diaper Bank of NC also collects period products. Teens have enough to worry about -- this should NEVER be a cause of stress for them. Just 4 more days to collect donations for diapers and period products for this year's drive! Visit www.soldbystarkey.com/diaperdrive to send some products our way.

Y'all see the lines in that gorgeous green grass? Kevin Starkey is jealous. 😛 Make sure to click through and check out the backyard too; it's large, completely flat, fenced, and features a relaxing deck. Inside you'll find lovely hardwoods, updated bathrooms, and a sunroom off the kitchen with so many possibilities. (Would make a perfect 1st floor playroom for the years you need the littles in your line of sight at all times!) Bonus: You can be at Publix or access 540 in about 3 minutes! For more info, visit www.9228shallcross.info or contact Jen Woodward.

Sold By Starkey loves having our office at Fenton! The property manager joined our meeting last week and shared a few things slated to join us there soon. What are you most excited about?!

This client interviewed 4 "top producing" agents to sell her home, a small, modest home in Apex. She later shared that everyone she interviewed possessed strong expertise, strategy, and sales to prove it, but she instantly felt like she could trust us - and that's what set us apart. We got to know her and understand her concerns. We walked her through each step of the process with patience and kindness, giving the $350,000 transaction the same time and attention we would have if it were $3,500,000. There is no review that means more than someone telling us they know they can trust us completely -- because that's what this industry is all about.

Can you imagine wanting to provide for your family, but being unable to work because you cannot afford to provide enough diapers to your childcare provider? The Diaper Bank ensures that lack of diapers are not the barrier.

We have less than a week to go in our drive -- it's go time! You can help! Visit www.soldbystarkey.com/diaperdrive for the details.

Sometimes home is more of a person than a place. Happy Mother’s Day. ❤️

But we all know these items are essential to the safety and well-being of our little ones and girls.

She’s right, we ARE lucky to have her on the team!

We're all complaining about the cost of groceries lately, so now more than ever, families are facing this tough choice. We can all help! Two more weeks to give! Visit www.soldbystarkey.com/diaperdrive for the details... it's eeeeasy!

The Veridea project, to encompass 1,200 acres along Hwy 55 in Apex has released its first renderings. It’s slated for the first buildings to go up in 2025. Article in the comments.

It's time for our 3rd annual Diaper Drive for the Diaper Bank of North Carolina! Did you know 1 in 3 families struggle to afford diapers? As a result, babies born to low-income families often spend the entire day in a single diaper.

The generosity of our clients and friends has made this drive a great success over the past two years. Last year we surpassed our 2022 total with a donation of over 18,500 diapers and hygiene items to the NC Diaper Bank. Can we make it to 20,000 this year?!?! We think so!

For the next 3 weeks we'll be collecting products for the Diaper Bank of NC. On Tuesday, May 21st our team will deliver the haul and spend the day volunteering at the Diaper Bank.

We know life is busy so we want to make it as easy as possible for you to donate to the drive. Details below!

What we're collecting:
Diapers
Pull-Ups
Adult Diapers
Tampons
Pads
Baby Wipes

Packages CAN be opened! If you have diapers your kiddo has sized out of, this is a great way to get them off the closet shelf.

Amanda Starkey
284 Ransfield Ln.
Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526

We know we have the best clients/friends/family ever and can't wait to see how everyone shows up for this cause!

Pleasantly surprised is a fabulous way to leave sellers. 😍 Nice work, Susie!

We're proud to support EmiliaFest, the best backyard fundraiser ever, raising money for pediatric cancer research via Cannonball Kids' cancer. One of the first things that endeared us to Susie Friedel, before she even joined our team, was hearing her speak at an office meeting about Emilia and what their family had faced and what her family was doing to help. 💚 If you're looking for somewhere to make a meaningful gift, or want to learn more about the event, the cause, and the girl behind it, visit https://emiliafest.weebly.com/

A huge shoutout to my real estate team for another EmilaFest sponsorship! and have been huge supporters of our event and since we first started and this year have added their own sponsorship aside from mine. Sold by Starkey Realtors are one of the highest rated teams in Western Wake County and everyone that works with our team is treated like family forever. Thank you Kevin and Amanda for your continued and enthusiastic support!

"...felt like we had a family member helping us"
We struggle to find the right words to describe what we want the experience of working with Sold By Starkey to be like, because it's a feeling, not words on a page. But if that doesn't sum up the goal on every transaction, we don't know what words could. 💚
Congrats Brad!

We won’t let you forget Fido when you’re customizing the plans for a new home or shopping for the perfect resale. 🦮🏡🐈‍⬛💚
