Colleen did a great job negotiating a contentious situation between myself and my Ex wife during the sale of the marital home. She worked hard to keep the home preparation and selling processes on track to closing. Her efforts are greatly appreciated! Great work.

Colleen and her team were incredibly hardworking. In a difficult market, Colleen helped us navigate the buying and selling process with experience and insight. When finally find our home and Colleen was ready to move quickly in order to secure our bid. We also sold our home beyond our target price. Thankful for her positive attitude and smile! We highly recommend working with her.

Christine Xiao

Colleen is incredibly professional, accommodating, focused, and caring. She makes you feel as if you are her only client. She made the entire process easy and streamlined. It is obvious that her experience in real estate gave me a leg up when we went into a multiple offer situation. Colleen is also frank and will have you considering all aspects of a home/property before purchasing. I found this helpful as a first-time home buyer since she was able to point out potential issues when I did not spot them.

Joe Gargiulo

Colleen has been absolutely wonderful to work with over the past year. She has been our trusted advisor in our search, purchase, closing and move-in. She is extremely conscientious, helpful, knowledgeable, thorough and so friendly. Colleen has made a very difficult process almost painless. We would highly recommend Colleen as your trusted and reliable Real Estate Professional. Colleen will be our agent for life :)

Colleen was extraordinary. She was very professional, attentive, communicative and always there for us. Her work ethics is exceptional. She explained the process clearly to us on Day 1 and continue to actively communicate throughout the process. She managed a lot of items in the background while we were focusing on moving to our new location, hence making the process very easy for us. I am so glad to have you as our agent!

Mark & Jen Bouck

Colleen and her team were extremely professional while helping us sell our existing home as well as with the purchase of our new home.  Despite her busy schedule, Colleen was always willing to drop everything to show us a new listing.  We had a couple of interesting scenarios that popped up throughout the process and Colleen and her team handled them calmly and with minimal disruption to the process.  Thanks to Colleen we were able to sell our home in 1 day and are now super happy in our new home! We would highly recommend Colleen and her team if you are in the market to sell or purchase a home!Mark and Jen Bouck

We had a complex home sale in July, 2021 with Tate and am extremely impressed with Colleen Blatz and Traci Wallace. On point, they pre-anticipated the challenges so we had no surprises, and provided timely, great communication. Colleen and Traci are superstars. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my closest friends and colleagues. Very pleased with selling $125,100 over asking & setting a neighborhood record!

Marcus and Taylor

We really enjoyed working with Colleen. Her enthusiasm and positivity is what initially hooked us. Colleen was extremely knowledgeable regarding the market in our particular neighborhood. She had a very good marketing plan and she was very reassuring when addressing our concerns. Communication with her was easy which was appreciated during a stressful relocation process. I would definitely recommend her and work with her again if given the opportunity.

I recently purchased a home in Raleigh, NC, while still living in S Florida. Colleen and her team were very helpful from beginning to end of the process for purchasing a home remotely, I couldn't have asked for more support.

Stanley Francis

Colleen was great throughout my entire home buying process. In a seller's market, it's important that your agent be available to answer questions and put in offers quickly. Colleen did just that. She was quick to respond to inquiries and submitted several offers, sometimes before I even saw a property, in a timely manner to stay ahead of the competition. Colleen is very knowledgeable about real estate market and the home buying process, and helped guide me through my search and ultimate purchase.

---

Maggie & David

Colleen was amazing! As first time buyers, it was so great that she knows EVERYTHING there is to know about this process. Anytime we had a question or a bad gut feeling about something, she was able to help steer us in the right direction without ever being pushy. We're picky and this market is tough, but Colleen was patient with us and did an amazing job getting to know us. We would absolutely recommend Colleen to our friends or anyone in the Triangle who wants to work with a realtor who KNOWS their stuff.

Colleen was always available to address any questions and concerns we had during our process of purchasing our new home at Traditions. Colleen is very dedicated to her profession and to her clients. Moving from out of state could have been very stressful, but she made it a very easy transition. We would feel very comfortable to refer Colleen; certain they would be happy with the service she would provide.

Lindsay Bigelow

We had such an amazing experience working with Colleen! My husband and I worked with her not only on purchasing our dream home but also on two investment properties since then. Colleen always makes us feel like we are her only client. It's rare to find someone that truly cares, but Colleen really does and would even stop by the construction site of our new build and send us pictures w/o us even asking. As first time investors, Colleen was able to connect us with some of her other investor clients which was so helpful. She is also incredibly organized, which really helps take the stress out of the process. She is the real deal, I only wish I could give her more than 5 stars!

---

Eric & Michelle Kalasz

We had a great experience with the Blatz Team. Colleen and her team did an excellent job not only getting our home ready for listing but us as well! The proper preparation paid off for us as we sold it to the first people that walked through our home. We not only sold it quick, but received over asking price! We would highly recommend Colleen and her team. She made us feel like we were her only customer. She knows the market, lives in this area and can help you get top dollar for your home!

---

Lizzie Pell & Matthew Kattmann

As first time home buyers, Colleen provided us with everything we needed and more throughout the process. She listened to every bit of feedback we gave throughout our home search and brought us listings that got better each time. Once we decided we had found the one, she seamlessly moved us through the buying process and guided us every step of the way. All of my home-buying nerves were eased by Colleen's expertise and persistence! We couldn't have felt like we were in better hands than we were with Colleen. She had our trust from the beginning and we will always be grateful for her. I would definitely recommend Colleen to anyone beginning their home search in Raleigh!

---

Chris P

It was so nice working with Colleen and her team. Our house sold in one week. She was on top of all the details from getting the house ready for sale, follow up with showings, and then following up with all the inspections needed for the closing and sale of our house.

---

Bob Willix

As a VP of Sales for a software company, I've always been "hesitant" about the business acumen of most real estate agents. I can say, with great confidence, that Colleen Blatz is the best real estate agent we've ever used. She's a bright professional who as vast experience, LISTENS (a rare quality) to her clients needs and desires, and was able to negotiate fairly and point us in the right direction. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need a recommendation but I am confident that Colleen will provide you with nothing but the best service!

---

Susan & Jeff Roney

Colleen was so easy to work with and has such a wealth of knowledge and experience in Raleigh real estate. She was always available to answer our questions and stayed on top of all communications with other parties. She is especially an expert in North Raleigh neighborhoods and knows what it takes to sell quickly and competitively for top dollar.

---

Taniya & Sudhin Mandal

We worked with Colleen on a relocation home sale. At our first meeting with her, it was clear that Colleen was a very organized and hard working person who was also very knowledgeable about relocation related sales. Our faith in her paid off because we listened to her advice and our house sold on the first day that it listed. It was a smooth process throughout. When our movers messed up and forgot to pack a bunch of stuff, Colleen went above and beyond and collected it for us. Thank you for everything Colleen!

This is the second time in 3 years that we have bought a new home. Nicole has been by our side both times and I wouldn’t of changed it for the world. She has always been there for us no matter the circumstances, text or phone! It’s been a pleasure working with her as always and we are so happy with our forever home!

---

Kelli McGuire

Colleen and her team were always ready to answer questions, negotiate on my behalf and go the extra mile for me. This is the second time I have bought and sold with Colleen and I will continue to recommend her and the Blatz team to anyone looking for an experienced, kind and diligent agent.

Melissa Thompson

Being a first time home buyer I had no idea where to start, then I met Colleen. Colleen listened to what I was looking for and showed me properties that matched that and my budget. She was so patient and explained everything so well. Colleen was so attentive and responsive every time I called. Because of her I found my perfect home and I could not have imagined going on this journey with any other realtor and now a friend! Thank you for making this a wonderful experience!

Michele Adams

Colleen was fantastic! She listens to what your needs are as a buyer and remembers it all when you look at houses even when you don’t. She not only is keeping in mind your interests as a buyer but also paying attention to details for future resale that I would not have thought of. In addition, I noticed when looking at houses she always waits for my input/reaction first before making any comments. She’s very considerate and definitely has your interests in mind. I could not have asked for a better realtor! Would absolutely recommend her to others! Thank you, Colleen!

Kris & Aneta Kobylinski

My wife and I have already purchased a number of real estate properties and had a chance to work with number of real estate agents. We have met Colleen accidentally as she filled in for another agent that was scheduled to show us a new house for sale. During our initial meeting Colleen was quick to gather enough information about what we seek and about our family that she suggested that we reconsider one of the lots we liked. Her perspective was refreshing and also important for somebody new to the city as we were. That situation gave my wife and I a hope that this agent may in fact be genuinely interested in her customers best interest. We have decided to work with Colleen on purchasing our family house. Unfortunately for Colleen we decided to buy a relocation house and that was an ordeal. During the process Colleen showed incredible attention to detail and diligence in keeping the vendor honest and getting all aspects of transaction and conditions taken care of. At some point we were eager to accelerate the process but Colleen cooled off our heads to make sure that our best interest was taken care of. Colleen took care of organizing all the aspects of the transaction. With such good experience we decided to buy also an investment property with Colleen and were met with similar quality of service. Colleen belongs to this rare breed of agents that are passionate for the customers best interest and for all aspects of the transaction to be done properly. Colleen is our agent for life.

Larry and Alison Zucker

We have worked with Colleen on multiple investment properties. Our first investment property was a big step into the unknown for us, but Colleen provided the knowledge, guidance and support we needed to confidently take the plunge. Colleen gave us the time and space we needed to make decisions while providing the counsel and urgency inherit in the market. Colleen has worked in our best interest making sure that all the details were covered and that all the participating parties – banks, lawyers, etc. – were on track. We have since expanded our investments with Colleen’s help and could not be happier.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Colleen. She worked tirelessly to find us our dream home and made herself available to accommodate our busy schedule. As first time buyers, she answered all of our many questions about the home buying progress and was very involved at all stages of the deal to ensure we were getting everything we wanted. I give her my highest recommendation!

Kathi & Carl Costenbader

Colleen,We have sold numerous houses in our adult life and you by far where the most professional, efficient and knowledgeable.  Your attention to detail was unbelievable and without your assistance, we would not have been able to sell as quickly as we did.  You guided us along the way making it a smooth contract and sell….Thank you for making the job of selling and moving so pleasurable.  You are absolutely the BEST!!!

  "We  came across Colleen through one of the online platforms as we were not happy with our first two realtors and we are so very glad we decided to call her and since then she has been an absolute pleasure and we could not have imagined a better realtor to guide us through our home buying process. The most outstanding qualities about Colleen are her knowledge, insight, promptness and her responsiveness to any questions one may have. She truly acted in our best interest and evaluates a home with you as if she was buying it, looking for things that we would miss, asking the questions that first time home buyers like us wouldn't think of, and above all she invested her time with us and never made us feel rushed. Her honesty and guidance helped us maneuver through many houses and even steered me off a new home construction that I liked a lot but she could see that the quality was not there and I am so glad we listened to her and waited until we found "the one". We would personally recommend Colleen to anyone looking to buy or sell a house because she will put you first and do what's best for you. We are considering future real estate endeavors and our go to realtor will always be Colleen without a doubt". P.S. - I could keep writing about you because that's how amazing you were and once again thank you for being awesome and the best!Roshan & Rachael

We can't say enough good things about Colleen. Before choosing Colleen, we met with 2 other realtors. The other realtors were pushy or just didn't seem to understand what we were looking for in a house. The minute we met Colleen, we knew she was the right realtor for us. Immediately, you can tell that she is experienced and knows what she is talking about. She is quick to respond to emails, texts and calls--no matter what time of day or night.   Our buying process became difficult with negotiations & repairs.  Colleen basically had to do the job of the other agent in order to make sure we were able to close on time. She went above and beyond! She always provided sound advice and treated us with respect. Most importantly, we have an infant and she was able to work around our crazy work and nap schedules! Colleen helped us find the perfect house! We would recommend her and her team in a second.

It is our pleasure to let you know the following:Working with Colleen was absolutely a fantastic experience from the moment we first contacted her until the transaction came to a highly successful close! Colleen gave us great advice regarding getting the property ready to list and show and pricing the property. She was available every time we needed her including on New Year's Day and after normal work hours. She went above and beyond in all areas to sell our property for our desired price and timeframe. Even after the property was under contract, she was very instrumental in making sure it closed according to schedule. In addition to her invaluable knowledge and work ethic, she is one of the nicest people you could ever want to have as a partner in selling your home. We feel very grateful that we had the good fortune to have Colleen be our agent and now our friend!I wish Colleen could list our big house in Orlando that we are selling now. I can't find another Colleen in Orlando so we didn't list it yet! WE are spoiled!We are truly grateful and feel very lucky to have met and worked with Colleen and your team! Best Regards, Deb and Chris

Colleen was an incredibly articulate and straightforward agent that was always positive and a pleasure to work with. Her patience and attention to the details that were most important to us made the home buying experience much less stressful. She was by our side every step of the way ensuring that we did not make any decisions that were not in keeping with the best interests of our family as well as ensure that our investment would be marketable in the future when the time comes to sell. Without question, we will go out of our way to use her again in the future if/when we are prepared to sell our home and search for a new one. Her positive attitude and candid feedback earned a trust and friendship that I have not experienced in any of my previous times I’ve bought a home.

Trula S.

Colleen sold two properties for me in Raleigh in less than 18 months.  I am an overextended professional who was forced to relocate.  My growing business is my first priority, leaving limited time for preparing my home of 10 years to be "move in ready" or overseeing the punch list items of a new construction project that I would never occupy.   Colleen truly took charge of the details.  She arranged contractors, picked out paint colors, and even staged my house with beautiful items from her own home.  She answered every call, email and text and eliminated the stress of selling two houses and moving to a new city.  When I told her that she "God sent", I meant it.

Tom Tisdale

"I interviewed many agents through friendships, through networking and through unsolicited requests  Most seemed qualified and capable.   I selected Colleen not just because she was the most knowledgable of the neighborhood and market and brutally honest, but for her ability to get the job done.   I had no idea how or where or when to begin or what to do to sell a house after raising three boys for 15 years in the house.   Make no mistake, its a project and Colleen isn't an agent, she is a project manager.Colleen engaged at the first meeting, not on negotiation fees but on understanding my timeframes and then reviewing my house.   I had many different views on what i needed to change, stage and fix.    Some agents said nothing, some said everything.   For instance, Do I paint all rooms, even one that is just painted?  What is the new neutral color?   Do I keep or stage furniture? Wall hangings?   Cabinets?  Do I need to replace countertops?   Colleen put a detailed plan together for me on what has to be done and what does not.  She is not afraid to confront you on hard decisions.   Most importantly, she set a mutual timeline to get onto the market at the right time and we laid out a biweekly to do list over five months.   Colleen checked in weekly and provided the right resources and project management to keep the project on track such that we hit the early spring deadline.     Secondly, the new game in selling is the pictures (Zillow, Trulia)  Now, its all about the pictures.  Colleen engaged interior design help and a professional (big time) photographic company and spent days getting the staging perfect.   The best testament to her investment that she made and the corresponding results was a quote from one of my boys "Dad, this is more amazing than HGTV - this isn't our house!"Third, the project doesn't end at a signed contract.   Colleen's role changed and she rode herd on the contractors (repairs from inspection), appraisers, finance companies, banks, buyer's agent, lawyers, etc. - always on top of me daily to ensure closing is a non-event. In the end, we sold in three days wth multiple offers for more than asking price and more than what all interviewed agents said would be the total max, on a good day.   And we came in 56% of budget on repair/staging/moving/cleaning costs and finally closed 1 month earlier than my best case scenario and both the buyer and seller are very happy."  Kudos Colleen. Feel free to contact me for any details. -- Tom Tisdale

After moving out of state, I was nervous about selling my condo in Cary, particularly because I was 1,000 miles away. I needed a realtor I could trust. I found that and so much more in Colleen Blatz! Colleen is amazing! She's very knowledgeable about the process and kept me informed. She followed up on every lead and sold my unit within weeks! Her fantastic negotiating skills, attention to detail, and dedication resulted in my home selling at the highest price of all comparable homes in my area! I am overjoyed! I would definitely recommend Colleen Blatz to anyone in the market to buy or sell real estate!

Colleen Blatz's passion for real estate coupled with her knowledge of the market put us in the perfect home! She has years of experience and was able to negotiate a great deal.  She was always available and willing to go the extra mile.  As we prepared to move to North Carolina Colleen made sure every detail was covered and the process couldn't have been smoother!

Colleen was great to work with when my husband & I bought our 1st home.  She acquired an excelelnt sense of what we were looking for in a house, while keeping in mind our budget.  She was also patient with us through all our questions and decision making.  She offered good advice and suggestions to us as new home buyers.  We have enjoyed working with Colleen and have recommended her to friends and family members.  We are now working with her again to purchase another property.
