I am a Fully Licensed North Carolina and South Carolina Real Estate Agent with experience working with both buyers and sellers.  As a member of the Richmond County Realtors Association, the North Carolina Realtors Association, and the National Realtors Association, I have available to me all of the home marketing tools and resources provided by these associations.  Some of these resources include the regional MLS Service and Realtor.com which is the number one authoritative source for Real Estate Sales Information in this area.  In addition, as a RE/MAX agent, I have access to a multitude of resources and a network of agents around the world.  Resources such as RE/MAX.com and LauraFryehomes.com make it easy for me to market your home or property in the global community.

I feel that educating myself and keeping abreast of all the latest marketing strategies is my responsibility to you.  That is why I pursued and achieved the CRS and GRI designations.  The Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) and Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) symbols are the mark of a real estate professional that has made a commitment to providing a superior level of professional services by earning these designations. REALTORS® with both the CRS and GRI designations are highly trained in many areas of real estate to better serve and protect their clients and that is the type of service that I wanted to offer my clients.

As a native of Richmond County, I take pride in our community.  That pride translates into dedication to my clients and I work hard to ensure that my reputation for providing outstanding customer service continues.  My familiarity with this community will help ensure that you find the best value in a home that is available.  I will manage all of the complex issues involved in your transaction, while maintaining a close, personal contact with you.

Moving is never easy, but moving all the way across the country for a job transfer is completely overwhelming!  This year I was given an opportunity to transfer all the way from Arizona to North Carolina.  It was a big step for us, but one that we thought was well worth it.  We began the transfer with me spending alternating weeks in Arizona and North Carolina.  During that time we needed to get our house in Arizona on the market and find a place to live in North Carolina.  While searching for property in North Carolina we came across Laura Frye's website.  Laura was more than just a Realtor trying to sell us something.  Laura was, and still is, our friend.  While we were in AZ Laura continued to keep things moving along.  She took time out of her schedule, and time from her family, to get things done that we couldn't because we were in AZ during times when things got scheduled.   We've never moved before, let alone all the way across the country, so we needed a lot of help.  Laura was there for us through the whole process.  To keep this short, our original purchase didn't end up being our final purchase.  Due to fluctuations in the mortgage market we had to change our path mid-stream.  Laura didn't miss a step in the transition, she was there to help and guide us through the whole nightmare.  To add to this; the time that our original intentions didn't work was the same time that Laura went on maternity leave from the office.  Laura didn't let that stop her from helping us, she kept in constant phone contact with us to make sure that things kept moving along, even while she was on leave from work.    With Laura's help we found and purchased the house that fulfilled our dreams!  Laura was there to do things we couldn't do, she was there to guide us, and she was there to keep things moving when it appeared things had stalled.  Laura is more than just an agent, Laura is a friend to us, and she'll be a friend to you if you give her the chance to help you make your dreams come true.   Thank you Laura, you are and will always be our friend!

"Selling our home was a very exciting time in our lives.  When we needed to make a decision about an agent, we looked for someone who was energetic and willing to work hard for our family.   Laura Frye did just that. We listed our home and within fifteen days, we had two offers for exactly what we wanted.  Laura's hard work and dedication were essential to this success.  My wife and I really appreciated Laura's availability and the open lines of communication.  This relationship helped us prepare our home for a very competitive market."                                                                  Julian and Charlotte Carter
