Kit Serrell is a Raleigh, NC agent rated 5.0 from 4 BiggerPockets member reviews, who specializes in multi-family (2-4 units), primary residence, and single-family rental.
Realtor, Househacker, and Airbnb Superhost in the Raleigh/Durham metro. My background as a CPA gives me, and my clients, a competitive edge when it comes to completing financial due diligence and making informed decisions. I strive to help new investors, out-of-state investors and first-time home buyers expedite their path to financial freedom. I own a portfolio of properties that I acquired through low-down payment strategies. I have househacked four properties, BRRR'd one out-of-state, and leveraged the power of short-term and mid-term rentals through hosting over 1,000 Airbnb reservations since 2021.

If your search is really greater Raleigh rather than the city itself, start with the agent whose reviews mention the town you are buying in.

How should I choose between them?

Read the investor reviews first, then the agent's own forum posts, which show how they think about a deal before you have spent an hour on the phone. Ask each for the last three investment deals they closed in Wake County and how those deals performed. An agent who works with investors will have the numbers ready.

What is an investor-friendly real estate agent?

An investor-friendly real estate agent represents buyers who purchase property to rent, renovate, or resell rather than to live in. They can price a property against rent comps and renovation costs, not just against nearby sales, and they are used to offers written for speed and inspection terms an owner-occupant would not accept. Many are investors themselves.
