If you want a realtor who knows the market and knows how to get things done, then you want Amy. Look no further than her, she is the best. She will do everything and go above and beyond. Thanks for everything!!

Kristen helped us with our home search for over a year in this competitive market. She went to great lengths to eventually find us a home off-market and went above and beyond communicating directly with the seller, making the process seamless for us. Kristen is very knowledgable about the area, and anyone looking for a home in Greensboro would be lucky to work with her!

Amy's experience and professionalism were invaluable in our search for a home in Greensboro. As our buyers agent, she consulted with us on how to succeed in the insane buyers market of Spring 2022!

Amy is an incredibly personable, responsive and attentive realtor. She knew exactly what we wanted (and didn't want), advised us thoroughly on houses and neighborhoods and showed us every house we wanted to see until we found the home we loved and Amy recommended. She helped us put a competitive offer together quickly and we got the contract over other bidders. She also helped us stage the home we were living in and carefully watched the market, pricing it perfectly. It sold in less than 2 weeks for the full asking price and we were thrilled. The closings on both homes went through without a hitch. We highly recommend Amy Cook if you are buying or selling a home.

Laurie was amazing to work with! My husband and I were searching for home in NC, all the way from NY! Laurie set up virtual showings and constantly emailed homes that met our criteria. Once we were able to physically look at homes, Laurie dedicated two days to just us. She was very knowledgeable and honest about each home we looked at. She certainly did her homework before meeting with us! We looked at 10 or so homes before deciding on a property. Laurie was with us every step of the way, putting in an offer, countering, negotiating, etc. She went above and beyond what was expected. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Karen is an absolutely fantastic agent! She was very knowledgeable of our home's value and the current marketplace and we received multiple offers on the first day. Yes she had our house under contract in one day! Karen was extremely helpful throughout the entire process with great communication and a true commitment to her clients and their needs. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking to buy or sell your home you will not find a more dedicated or knowledgeable agent than her!

Laurie patiently helped me see properties to narrow my focus to places that would really suit my needs. She found the perfect place for me that had just come up for sale, negotiated a great deal, and helped me with some issues that came up with the seller after the sale. Oh and she sold my house for a good profit!

Amy is a most efficient, attentive and intuitive realtor. We were referred to her by a very happy former client. She was busy looking out for us while we still lived in another state. As we only had access to homes on the internet, Amy was always frank and honest about whether or not a particular home would be a good match for us--and she was always right. The very morning the right home became available, she contacted us immediately. Within hours she had walked us through it online, advised us about an appropriate offer, and followed through with the seller. Our offer was accepted the following day. We have now been in our wonderful home for almost 6 months, grateful every day for Amy's wisdom and insight. I would refer anyone looking for a home in the Greensboro area to Amy!

After we found out we were moving back to the Carolinas I called and asked some of my old colleagues who was the best agent in the Greensboro area. It was an unwavering answer of Amy Cook and they couldn’t have been more correct. Amy’s knowledge and expertise of the area, market, and buyer’s needs made the whole experience incredibly easy. We were unfamiliar with the area and she took the time to show us not only future potential homes, but the different benefits to each area of Greensboro. She went beyond our expectations advising on our offer and represented us very well at inspections, since we were in a different city. Amy not only became a trusted advisor, but someone I would call a friend. We cannot recommend her enough."

I highly recommend Amy Cook as a real estate agent. She was a terrific guide through the process of selling my mother’s home of over 40 years. Amy gave great advice on how to get the house ready to sell, including vendors to help with packing and moving and a variety of repairs.
I was grateful for her direct communication, responsiveness, command of the business and deep knowledge of the market. I trusted her implicitly during the negotiations and our family was thrilled with the timing and price. I always felt like she had our best interests at heart.
And as a bonus, she’s a lot of fun - a true joy to work with.

I was buying a home for the first time and was new to the Greensboro area and she did a wonderful job finding the perfect home for me! Looking for a home in the midst of a seller's market was a challenge but Karen made it easy! She was always up to date on how the current real estate market was behaving and was able to provide very sound advice as a result. Karen is very responsive and is quick to put in offers and schedule showings. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a house in the area.

Karen is our go-to Realtor. Even during this crazy COVID time she makes everything so simple and easy.

We have used Karen multiple times and we are constantly recommending her to friends and family.

Buying and selling a home is one of the greatest financial exchanges a person completes in their life - it is also one of the most emotional. Will my house sell for the price I need? Will I find a house that fits my daily needs and aesthetic in the neighborhood I want to be in?
I cannot recommend Kristen Jarrett with Triad's Finest more highly to guide you through that process. Kristen listened to my must haves and nice to haves and translated that into the perfect home for me in Greensboro. She is extremely smart, doing research to ensure I was not going to regret a short term decision long term (I wanted a private backyard and she found the busy road behind the house would eventually be expanded). She knows the housing market and she knows the Triad. She is honest, has vision of how you want your home to live and can steer you to that outcome.
I don't write testimonials, and hate writing them - but had to share the exceptional experience I had with Kristen as my agent.

We cannot say enough good things about working with Karen! We bought a home the day it went on the market due to her finding exactly what we were looking for and then listed our current home the next day. Thankfully she sold it in one day! Karen is incredibly knowledgeable about the area patient dealing with countless questions and requests and is incredibly trustworthy and professional. We are thankful to her for helping our family find our forever home!

This was our first time selling a home and Amy was truly our greatest asset. Her knowledge, kindness, and professionalism was invaluable as she guided us through the selling process. We could not have had a better outcome. We sold in one day, well over ask, and without complication. We will always use Amy for all future home buying/selling needs. If you want an easy, professional, and positive buying/selling experience please reach out to Amy B. Cook!

Amy was recommended to me by my colleague, who has been very experienced with home purchases, as the best agent who she had ever worked with. Unlike my colleague, I was a first-time homebuyer (plus as coming from Japan, I had noooooooooo ideas about home ownership here!). Amy has been an excellent source for me at every single step toward the home purchase in this extremely difficult market. She has an upbeat personality with a great sense of humor (which is certainly very helpful as buying a home is a nerve-racking experience). She is also very patient with me (I have asked so many questions, including very elementary ones) and is still guiding me even after the home closing to make sure that I am settling in the house. Through interacting with vendors, I have also learned Amy is highly regarded in the real estate market in Greensboro. I highly recommend her to first-time homebuyers as well as experienced ones.

Laurie went above and beyond helping me in the buying process looking at both existing homes and properties to build on. She found the perfect property for me and helped walk me step by step from the offer through the entire process of closing. We needed surveys, septic/well permits, etc. and Laurie helped make the process much easier for me that I could have ever asked for. I would 100% recommend Laurie to anyone in the area looking for their dream property!

Kristen is our go-to realtor, personally, and for any friends and family new to the area in need of a recommendation. She knows the area better than anyone. She can put herself in her clients' shoes to find the best home for them. She’s super responsive and easy to work with. She has names for plumbers, roofers, decorators, mold specialists, you name it, she has a name and number for you. We’ve used her to buy and sell multiple times and she’s truly the no-brainer choice for an easy and successful transaction!

We were selling a home for the first time in over 30 years, Kristin explained the process clearly & completely. She was always responsive to our questions and concerns no matter the time of day (or night) we called. She made the process seamless and we could not be happier with the results. We would highly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a realtor.

We are from Michigan and therefore know little about the area. We decided to rent an AirBnB to acquaint ourselves with the Greensboro area. We asked our AirBnB host if he knew a good real estate agent in the area and he recommended Amy. He was very impressed her professionalism and patient manner when he purchased. So we gave her a call. We are so happy we did. Amy showed us around the area, and made an effort to get to know our likes, and dislikes both in location and lifestyle. We enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her to others.

I love Amy. She made me want to buy a house with her. I could not decide what city I wanted to live in, but I knew that I wanted to purchase a home with Amy. She is very attentive. She goes above and beyond for her clients. In the middle of my chaos she brought the light and made things simple and easy. She is very knowledgeable and I felt that I could trust her. I was safe in her hands.

Amy is a top-notch professional who understands what her clients need and want and provides a customized experienced based on those parameters. Her years of experience allow her to navigate the area and market to guide her clients during the decision-making process. We are not novice home buyers/sellers, we came to Amy because we needed a professional who we could trust during this fast-paced and sometimes volatile experience. Without a doubt we made the right decision. We trusted Amy during all negotiations and to ensure nothing was missed. We definitely made the right choice and had 100% confidence during the entire process.

We cannot thank her enough.

Karen is simply exceptional. She helped us navigate our first home buying experience 3 years ago and we quickly learned we loved her style so calling her again was an absolute no-brainer this time around. We put an offer on our new home and walked through the door with keys in our hands in a matter of 4 weeks! We refer every home-browsing friend to her knowing they'll be well taken care of.
