My goal is to continue to sell with the highest level of integrity and care, and make all my customers raving fans." - Beth

Our Attitude:
The purchase or sale of a home is one of the most important financial decisions a person will ever make. We believe it should also be one of the most enjoyable. Our focus will be on your wants, needs and objectives. Our emphasis will be on helping you enjoy the process of buying a home as much as you will enjoy living in it. 

Two Friends in Real Estate:
When it comes to buying or selling a home, two sales associates make twice as much sense. Twice the service. Twice the efficiency. Twice the personal attention. That's the idea behind the real estate team of Bud and Beth McKinney, sales associates with RE/MAX United. When you're ready to buy or sell a home, call Bud and Beth. As your two friends in real estate, we'll work twice as hard for you.

Service:
Providing exceptional real estate service is our trademark. We will aggresively market your current home or diligently search for the right home for you. Our affiliation with Re/Max provides us with the tools to make your move as quick and easy as possible.

Client Testimonials

MY REAL ESTATE AGENT DID THE IMPOSSIBLE!! (Jan. 23, 2009)

In an article put out by the News & Observer on January 21, 2009:

"Homes were on the market for an average of 100 days in December -- almost a month longer than they lingered in December 2007. And a record 60 percent of the homes that were on the market had cut the price at least once, up from 40 percent a year earlier."

Congratulations to our listing agent - she got our home sold in 78 days (with a December contract; closing in January)

We want to let the public know that houses ARE selling in the Cary/Apex area.   Our real estate broker, Beth McKinney and The Team That Cares, of RE/MAX UNITED not only sold our home within the time frame requested but got us a little more than we required.  We have to say there were some rough times but her expertise, professionalism, and strong marketing ideas got the job done.

Her team was there for her and had to jump through hoops to get things done.   Beth was even there on everyone else's SNOW DAY.  If you are thinking of buying or selling, we highly recommend Bud & Beth McKinney.  ( www.cary-homes.com) (919-851-3171)  - Lee Swearingen , Cary NC

Sharon Aust sold her home with Beth McKinney at RE/MAX UNITED in Cary, and had this to say about Beth (their listing agent) and The Team That Cares. She had a great experience selling her home in the Whitehart subdivision in Apex.

"The first meeting with Beth convinced us to list with her agency. She was upbeat, knew her stuff and most of all, loved our house. She knew the value that was there and was willing to list it accordingly. We had a signed sales agreement in 16 days, at a price we were happy with. We loved the flyers, virtual tour on the internet, and the DVD's to hand out to potential buyers. (Makes a nice keepsake as well.) The use of her moving truck was also a BIG help.

"We'd recommend Beth anytime." - Sharon Aust, Apex, NC

***

"Words cannot express our gratitude for all your time, patience, and caring manner. We are so pleased with our new home. You were incredibly informative and helpful and you made it fun too! We are so fortunate to have found such warm, giving friends and realtors. You two really do care! You're the best!!" - Steve and Judy Grabowski, Cary, NC

“I bought my house with Beth McKinney & her team in 2007! I love the house & I love them. They did a fantastic job. Beth is a dynamo & she has surrounded herself with a phenomenal staff. If I were to sell my house, I would CERTAINLY do it with Beth & that great team.”  — Kristin Huber

***

“Beth and her staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and responsive during the purchase of our home. She answered all of our questions thoroughly and followed up with us to make sure we were comfortable throughout the entire buying process. She helped us to get the best deal possible and met all of our expectations. We have since recommended Beth’s office to several of our friends moving into the area, and they have all had similarly pleasant experiences.”  – Brian Wilson

***

“I have worked with the Beth McKinney team for over 8 years now. I have always been impressed with their professionalism, their dedication to the client and their loyalty to their service providers. They are a top notch team dedicated to providing the absolute best service possible to both buyers and sellers.”  — Christopher Murray

***

“Beth understands that there are many points of negotiation that can result in a good transaction on a home. Her team does not believe in having winners and losers in a transaction. Good negotiations are much more than price-cutting. During the process of working with offers leading to the sale of our home, Beth was able to craft a deal that delighted the buyer and was pleasing to us as sellers. Throughout the process, both sides believed that they were being dealt with fairly.” — Bill Gregory

***

“Beth is one of the more knowledgeable professionals in the real estate industry. She takes the time to explain confusing issues and she is always gracious. Not to mention she promptly returns our calls. In short, she just plain awesome to work with.” — Selma Pittman

***

“My wife and I have known Beth for many years as a neighbor and friend. Recently we had need of Beth’s services as a realtor. We knew we could not do better than to go with Beth; she has the creativity, marketing skills and drive needed to get results. In addition Beth has acquired and trained an excellent staff and together they make an unbeatable team.” — Terence Brest

***

“Beth was successful in finding a buyer for our Lochmere home. She uses creative, state-of-the-art methods to market and sell a home. She is on the job at all times! We were not surprised to learn that Beth is also a “Dave Ramsey approved” local agent!” — Barbara Mulkey

***

“We have known Beth for 7 years and you will not find an agent that CARES more than Beth! She guides you with her extensive knowledge of the real estate world with YOUR best interest ALWAYS in mind. We experienced this when Beth advised us as to the best steps in our home selling process knowing the results would not benefit her financially but was the best step for us. Her wisdom and passion for helping clients find and sell a home is second to none! (M/M RAW, Apex, NC)” — R. W.

***

“We have known Beth for over 12 years and we have bought/sold 4 houses with her. We have met some or our now best friends through her community functions. Beth knows her business and knows how to take care of her clients! We have bought and sold with Beth in a good market and now a bad one. We know we have a friend working with us and for us to get the job done. Beth is the BEST!” — Betsy Bates

“I can’t begin to say enough great things and Bud & Beth McKinney. They sold our home in Cary in record time 8 years ago and actually had people fighting over it. When we saw the virtual tour we couldn’t believe our home looked so great, so it was no wonder the showings were so numerous. Beth also sold us our new home in Apex with just one day of appointments. Since then she’s helped two of our friends buy homes; one in Raleigh though it’s closer to Clayton and Garner, and the other in Cary. The girl knows how to sell houses, no matter whether they’re in her backyard or elsewhere. Fabulous team!!!!!” — Linda Crofton

***

“We’ve known Beth McKinney for 15 years, since she helped us purchase a home. She was right there to help us from the time my job was transferring, through the closing and right up to today. What’s impressive is she has more then just real estate knowledge of the area, but a vast network of connections for most other non-real estate aspects of life, and a will to share them. With Beth McKinney, you don’t just buy a home. You may close on the house, but not the relationship. You join a family that “really does care”. Thanks, Beth!!!” — Jim Chandler

***

“We moved from NJ to Garner, NC almost three years ago. We became acquainted with Beth almost two years prior via the internet and because we sensed a genuine desire to help us, decided to use her agency when the time came to move. We looked at countless homes and never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. We were always treated, not so much as in a realtor/buyer relationship, but as family. Throughout we experienced patience and a determination to help us find just the right house for our budget and needs. And, she has maintained contact with us after the sale on social level that demonstrates the warmth she feels for all of her clients.” — Fred and Diane Garcia

***

“Hi, about 2 years ago we moved here from Upstate NY and were looking for a home and as important a Real Estate firm with folks we could trust. We started to talk with various firms and new friends around the Cary and every time we got a list of a couple firms it included Beth McKinney. So I finaly met with her and her team and have been a huge fan since. We not only bought our first NC home from her and her team, but we had our Son meet with the following year and helped him buy his first NC home from Beth McKinney and her team as well. You will never do beter than Beth, so forget all the advertising in the paper and on the web; save some time, a lot of agravation and most importantly save on your next home investment, just go to meet Beth. You will be glad you did.” — Mike & Susan Gaudet

She continues to be a good friend and a trusted advisor for us in the real estate market.” — Kara Williams

***

“Beth has more energy than anyone should. Beth and her staff were fantastic to work with and really know their stuff.

If you want the best realtor in Cary who really cares about getting people in the best home for their family, choose Bud and Beth!” — Steven Toy

“We know Beth for about Two years and she is so down to earth that you feel like family. We have good friends and told them about Beth in their search for a house and would recommend her and her staff only, to anyone I know looking for a new place to live.

“My husband and I met Beth McKinney about 5 years ago in Cary, NC while on our first visit to the area. We were most impressed with Beth’s knowledge of the Triangle Area and her willingness to provide information on the area to help us get familiar with the area. When we began our search for real estate in the Triangle Area, we felt well prepared because of her initial help provided months before. We sought her expertise when we did make our first purchase and continue to do so for our real estate needs in NC. Beth’s real estate services truly live up to her motto “We really care!”" — Paula Schwoerer

***

Beth McKinney is one of the most incredible people I have had the pleasure of knowing for the past 7 years. We met Beth when we were relocating to North Carolina. While we were in town checking out the area we called Beth on a Saturday morning after seeing an ad for Remax in the newspaper. After speaking with Beth about the area we were possibly interested in she faxed us a list of 30 homes to our hotel for our review. This first impression of Remax has never been forgotten. We have never worked with more professional kind people. They really do care about each and every client. I guarantee you can’t go wrong when you choose Beth McKinney. We have made many recommendations to our family and friends. Beth has made moving to a new area an incredible experience for so many people. Keep up the good work Beth!” — Teresa Moore

***

“The Bud n Beth team really did everything they could to sell our home. We were able to sell in 6 months and move into a great new family neighborhood.” — Patricia O’Hanlon

***

“To say that we were happy about the dedicated service that you provided would be an understatement! It wasn’t just trying to sell us a “house,” but she was trying to find us a “home,” one that after compiling information about us, she wanted to make sure that we could and would have our needs met! Everyone was so caring and accomodating, truly a breath of fresh air in today’s world! Thank you, Beth, we love you. You are such good, kind, and caring people! We are now friends, not just past clients…however that is just the kind of people you are!” — Robin Long

***

“Great team! Beth McKinney was quick to call on our first inquiry and helped us figure out what each area had to offer our needs at this time. Beth went way beyond the call of duty in order to help us get this deal closed! We would highly recommend this team if you need knowledge of the different areas, experience on your side and friendly patience to see you through to your goal! Thank you Beth!” — Ted & Cynthia Reed

***

***

“My wife and I relocated to Cary, NC knowing very little about the area. Beth and her team were fantastic! We have relocated several times and have worked with some very good Realtors, but the Bud and Beth Team tops the list. This team is very knowledgable about the local real estate market AND about the area in general, pays attention to details on your behalf that the average person doesn’t know they need to and does all of this with a very personal touch!! Look no further than the Bud & Beth Team” — Randy Hulse

“Beth and her team represented my family when we relocated to Cary NC. We had an issue with our contract and the seller of the first home we were in contract with. Beth and her team worked tirelessly to resolve the issues while we weve still living in California. In the end she found us a home we absolutely love and went out of her way to assist us with our contract dispute on the first home. If you need someone who will stand by your side and represent you I recommend you consider Bud n Beth and their team for your next real estate transaction.” — Nevin Williams
