Jake Smith is a proud veteran with 9 years of service in the U.S. Air Force, now a dedicated Realtor. He effectively uses his leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills to guide clients confidently through the real estate market. Jake is passionate about helping individuals find their dream homes and build wealth through real estate investment. Originally from Pennsylvania, Jake fell in love with the Raleigh area during annual holiday visits after his family moved there when he left for military service. His time in the Air Force involved frequent moves to multiple countries, averaging one move every two years, during which he bought and sold several homes. This experience sparked his passion for the home buying and selling process and helping others navigate it. He became highly skilled in relocation and logistics, enjoying the process of assisting friends and coworkers through homeownership. This led him to pursue real estate as a career, allowing him to connect buyers and sellers and guide them seamlessly through the transactional process, from contract to closing and beyond. Jake's military background instilled in him a strong work ethic, a commitment to excellence, and unwavering integrity. In his free time, he is actively involved in the local car community, organizing car shows, and both fixing his own and helping others fix their cars. He also enjoys spending time at the beach with his dogs.
I work on a few simple philosophies:
Every house is the RIGHT house for you at the RIGHT price.
Every house is the WRONG house for you at the WRONG price.
Remember, you don't make your money when you sell your house, you make it when you buy!!!
And finally, there is NO such thing as a once in a lifetime deal...there will always be another one.
My reviews are not from family members 'fluffing' and artificially inflating my ratings....they come from actual clients, all of whom by the end of their transactions I can energetically call friends.
I will work tirelessly for you. Those aren't empty words, I promise. And if we have to visit every house in the state to find the right one for you, then you're probably too picky :)
