"I was a first time home-buyer and Larry made the experience very smooth and enjoyable. He took care of everything and was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. He gave us good advice and was always available to help, no matter what issues came up. He sticks to the facts and is very down-to-earth. Highly recommend. Thank you Larry!"

"We were just moving into this area from out of state. Larry was GREAT in getting us the best possible deal on our home and also advised us on how to take care of it with maintenance suggestions. Since we are not from here, we call Larry to find out who to call for service on our current home. He knows good and reputable contrators and service people whom all have done an excellent quality job on our home. Larry is GREAT, BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the sale of your home. Wouldn't use ANYONE else!"

"Larry found me browsing on-line for a condo in Chapel Hill. How lucky I am! He spent more time with me than I deserved, showing me multiple homes that met my criteria before I was clear that I wanted to buy. Aside from that one visit to Chapel Hill to view promising listings, the entire buying process was conducted at a distance, with me in Seattle.
Larry managed to provide me with all the information and documentation I needed, even putting together my (ultimately successful) offer on a lovely townhome while I was on vacation in Canada. I was never less than confident that he knew what he was doing and that his advice was sound. I know Larry's excellent track record helped me in the final analysis, because other agents and real estate professionals in the area know him and how he works. I couldn't be happier with the results, and would not hesitate to use his services again myself or recommend him to others"

"Larry is an exceptional broker for 3 main reasons: He's bright; he's always well prepared; and he listens. Larry figures out how you need to work and then works with you in that mode. His knowledge of the local markets, including future city or county planning and his ability to structure a deal are exemplary. Larry's straightforward and shares his insight, and then let's you make the decision. He's reliable and very responsive. On top of all that, he's easy going, funny, and easy to work with. I highly recommend Larry and will work with him again. I have bought and sold my personal homes with larry as well as having bought Investment real estate with Larry. I trust him with all my real estate needs."

" We would highly recommend Larry Tollen to anyone looking to buy a house in the triangle area. We recently bought a house with him, and he made the process extremely smooth for us. With Larry, you get
someone who is knowledgeable about local housing prices and neighborhoods coupled with an exceptional ability to negotiate excellent terms on your behalf. Larry made us feel as if we were his
only clients, always replying to questions and concerns quickly and dealing with the selling agent, mortgage company, lawyers, inspectors, and independent contractors for various services to move the process along efficiently. We were never left to deal with any problems on our own; Larry always stepped in and handled them on our behalf.
Larry is patient and will show you as many houses as you need to see in order to find the right one; he will not try to sell you something you can't afford. He gives great advice on many aspects of the home
buying process. Larry can recommend people for repairs, mortgages, etc...but will never push you to go with someone he recommends. We truly feel like Larry was always looking out for our best interests
and will recommend him to our friends and family when they are ready to buy houses.

"I have know Larry for years, first in Vermont while he was at North Real Estate and now in North Carolina at The Home Team. I had never had occation to use Larry as a Broker until moving to North Carolina. When my wife and I started looking for a home we enlisted Larry's help. I knew from past experience that he would be a huge help but I was still amazed at the quality of service and expertise he provided. We would recomend Larry in a heart beat for all your real estate needs in the Triangle"

"I am writing this letter about the great experience I had with Larry Tollen and The Home Team in the sale of my home.
Larry came to my house and we sat down and he explained to me his strategy plan and ideas for selling my townhouse. Everything was explained in easy to understand language, there was no pressure and Larry is a wonderful person to work with.
I signed the contract on Wednesday, Thursday he came over and took pictures, Friday there was a brochure available with detailing the property, a For Sale sign was put out, Saturday the townhouse was listed on his website. And the best news is, that the following Saturday my house was sold. Larry was there every step of the way, even keeping in contact with me during his son's college graduation. Larry even arranged for some repairs that needed to be done after the house inspection so that was another thing I didn't have to worry about. He sees things through from start to finish.
Larry is extremely polite, professional, knowledgeable and does everything he says he is going to do. I would not hesitate in working with Larry again and I have recommended him to people that I know. "

"We recently bought our first home with Larry as our buyer agent, and we HIGHLY encourage anyone looking to buy or sell in the triangle area to consider working with him. We knew we had chosen the right agent from the start: Larry is attentive, diligent, and incredibly organized, and he always took the time to help us become acquainted and comfortable with the many aspects of home buying and home ownership in general. His insight and familiarity with the local market have been extremely valuable to us, and we also appreciate his endless resourcefulness (which we still take advantage of from time to time). We will definitely be turning to Larry when it comes time to upgrade to our next home. "

"Larry Tollen is the consummate professional in real estate. His expertise extends to financing, building, negotiating and much more. Larry showed himself to be caring, responsive and professional. He showed me options , undertook negotiations on my behalf and presented creative solutions to some difficult dilemmas I encountered with the builder of my home. Larry never failed to step in to smooth things over. He anticipated my concerns and I was never left waiting , worrying or left tense and anxious after confrontations with the builder. Larry performed tasks above and beyond his role as realtor. He served as my advocate and freqently made extra trips to check on my property. He provided sound referrals for inspectors and tradesmen.
Larry Tollen's assistance did not end at closing. He has offered to continue to help with referrals for improvements, landscaping and decorating. I can now look forward to a new beginning in my new home. "
