Saving You Thousands, One Home at a Time
At Smart Choice Realty, we are proud to be one of the top flat fee real estate brokers in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Established in 2008, we have spent the last 16 years saving Triangle homeowners money on the sale of their homes. Our mission is to provide an alternative to traditional real estate firms that charge exorbitant commissions, often up to 5-6% of the sale price.
Our Story
Our story began when our founder, Samara Presley, recognized the need for a more affordable and efficient way to buy and sell homes. She saw an opportunity to disrupt the traditional real estate market by offering a flat fee model that would save homeowners thousands of dollars in commissions. Today, we have a team of experienced real estate professionals who are dedicated to providing exceptional service to our clients.

We offer a range of services designed to make the home buying and selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our services include:

- Full-service real estate brokerage: We provide everything a traditional firm offers, from listing to closing.

- "Amanda Samara and Angie made the process of selling my Grandmother's house such an easy process for me, as I am a busy mom with a crazy schedule! I can't thank them enough for all their help! They simply are the best!" - Claire N.
- "We've used Sam and the Smart Choice team for two different home sales and one home purchase over the last 8 years - all great experiences. Samara was super helpful with staging advice for our latest home sale - she knows her stuff. Our house was under contract in less than a week - went on the market late on a Friday - we had multiple (above asking) offers by Monday morning." - Lucy Joyner
