I could never have made it through this home buying process without Jennifer Harvell. She was always available to show me properties and had excellent advice on which properties would work and which would not. She was extremely patient and has extensive knowledge which was very helpful to me. Through a very difficult loan process, she kept me going and was there to help whenever I needed it. I know that she went above and beyond, without the promise of a large commission. She deserves much credit for being such a dedicated broker. Jennifer was on top of everything. Every offer to purchase, negotiation, contracts and subsequent changes to contracts, she had everything done immediately and ready for me to sign at a moment's notice. She did a lot of extra work for me to make it easier. I truly believe I could not have made it through this process with another broker. I will always use Jennifer for any real estate transaction in the future.

In April 2020 my wife and I decided to relocate Bogue Banks from Raleigh, NC. I graduated from West Carteret in 1994 so I am familiar with area and the benefits or coastal living. The market was purely a sellers' market at the time, so houses were pending as soon as they hit the market. My wife's family, as well as some of my childhood friends' parents had worked with Jenn as the agent over the years, so I gave her a call.
Over the months she represented us and she did not want us to bite on just anything. Personally, I would have fired me as a client if I was Jenn, but she didn't. We looked at a number of homes and after seven months, we found a house that fit our needs; however the house was priced WAY over market value. It wasn't long before we figured out the process was going to be lengthy. 
During our due diligence period following the inspection, we met Jenn & our contractor on site. While there was discussion that we would need to uncover the septic tank for further inspection. About 10 minutes later while inside with the contractor, my wife said, "OMG! Look out the window!" and when I did, there was Jenn, in business attire (I'm pretty sure she had heels on, too) digging up the septic tank in 85-degree weather. That was probably the easiest part of the buying process with us. Jenn was faced with dealing with us being anxious byers, a hot real-estate market, an understaffed appraisal market, an over ambitious lender and the impacts of CV-19.
Jenn, did not want us to settle and after letting her lead us, we closed on our home in Pine Knoll Shores. In the end we purchased the home well under appraisal value and with furnishings and have all the space we need. I strongly recommend @Jennifer Harvell if you're looking for a home anywhere in the coastal area of Carteret County.
Jenn, we appreciate you.
