"We were so delighted we chose Ginger and Wendy to sell our property in Cary when we were given a short period of time to move back to Australia.

From day one they both made a very stressful situation so much better with their kind, caring approach. They treat you like family and truly care to get the best results for you with their attention to every detail. I highly recommend Ginger and Wendy for your real estate needs. They are the best of the best! "

If you are giving thought to hiring Ginger Dawson and Wendy Jackson as your real estate professional, let me help you make the easiest (and best) decision that you’ll make all year.

Do it. Do it now. Don’t waste another minute of procrastination. From the time the ink is dry, your journey to real estate happiness will have already started. My wife and I owned a seven-figure home in North Raleigh that had become outdated, and we needed to sell during a soft market. For 16 months, we listed the house with two agents not named Ginger Dawson or Wendy Jackson. Not only did we not get any offers, but we also barely got second showings. Enter Ginger – and her equally capable business partner Wendy Jackson – and things dramatically changed for the better immediately. To be clear, Ginger told us things that we didn’t want to hear. But she had the courage and confidence to initiate the uncomfortable conversations, and everything that she suggested proved to be correct. The 2004-built home that we constructed from scratch was molded into what the 2021 buyer was looking for. All of Ginger’s instincts and professional experience paid off in spades. The house that had been ignored for 16 months got 25 showings in three days, multiple offers and an executed contract less than a week after it had been listed by Ginger and Wendy. We were thrilled, relieved and happy beyond words. And yet, their value to the transaction had only just started. Their attention to detail as we moved through inspections, appraisals and further negotiations was second to none. They anticipated every question that we had and every answer that we would need. Nothing was ever left to chance and every stone was turned over. We moved out of the house prior to listing it for sale and, as a result, we discontinued trash pick-up. Two days before closing, without any prompting or any discussion at all, Wendy showed up at the house and removed several months of trash that had accumulated in our bin. Did they do that for our benefit? Did they do that for the incoming buyers benefit? Did they do it because they are perfectionists, and it was simply the right thing to do? I have no idea. But the point is that everything that guides them in a real estate transaction is predicated on making their clients life easier and taking responsibility for every facet of the transaction, whether it be significant or mundane. I could go on forever in regard to Ginger’s professional skills but, as importantly, Ginger’s human and personal strengths are just as relevant. The house that we sold meant a lot to us. We had built it from the ground up, raised our kids there and sadly said goodbye to two family pets while living there. Ginger was keenly aware of the emotional toll of selling this house and she struck every chord perfectly. She knew when to push and when to let go. She knew when to draw the line and when to hug. She knew when to counter and when to agree. I work for a professional sports team in sales and marketing, so I’m not a novice when it comes to making a deal. I don’t get impressed easily and I hate wasting time. With that in mind, let me tell you unconditionally that Ginger Dawson and Wendy Jackson exceeded our expectations in every possible way. With this transaction, if I could change one thing, it would have been to hire them 16 months before we did. Please don’t make the same mistake I did and hire them today. You won’t regret it for a second.

Jonathan and Laurie Kramer

I seriously told my husband that I am so thankful for the two of you through this process.

If everyone involved was more like the two of you, I would be so happy! It has been incredible working with you, we wish you could take you with us so you could be our buyers’ agents in the other state where we are purchasing. We also wish you two could be our lender and everyone else who is involved in these transactions.  You make it so much easier by being so involved and on top of everything.  You think of things before they happen and are very proactive.  We will be calling you guys again.  We are so happy with the record sales price you were able to achieve.

I can promise you that you will not be able to find a better real estate agent than Wendy Jackson.

Not only is she super knowledgeable on everything, she is the nicest person you will ever get the chance to work with. Even though this is the 5th house my wife and I have bought over the past 10 years there are so many things we forgot about or didn't realize and she was able to think of each little detail so we didn't have to worry about anything. On top of all that, Wendy went out of her way on so many different occasions to check on things, send updates, research schools, restaurants, you name it. My wife and I honestly have never had anyone who has looked after us and made sure we were taken care of in every way possible than Wendy.

Being out of state, Wendy’s excellent communication and knowledge of the area made it possible to cover so much area and whittle down our ever changing list of possibilities.

She was very diligent while seeing the entire process all the way through. Wendy made our home buying process the best experience possible.

Kristy and Mike Johnson

"Wendy and Ginger were exceptional to work with from start to finish.

My home sold in one day for asking price. They additionally helped me find contractors to do the inspection repairs and were there every step of the way!"

Amanda F.

We put Wendy through the mill for over 4 yrs looking for our home.

She put up with my ups and downs in my real estate tribulations and trials, and her commitment and patience were exceeded only by her professional excellence. She is superlative.

Wendy went above and beyond in the sale and purchase process of our homes.

She is attentive to every detail and always willing to help in any way. We highly recommend Wendy and have tremendously valued her wisdom throughout our process. She is a true professional with integrity and work ethic that can’t be matched.

Local Tech Executive

Thank you so, so much.

Wendy has been fantastic! She is so incredibly helpful and organized - not to mention as sweet as can be. It has been a true pleasure getting to know you both and we really appreciate everything.

Heather Adams

Wendy & Ginger have been amazing!

Their communication and responsiveness is incredible. They know the market extremely well and were able to give great advice on when to sit tight & when to move aggressively. Having them on your team is something I would highly encourage anyone looking to buy or sell in the Raleigh market!

Laura and Matt Brubaker

"Over the last 20 years I have worked with multiple Realtors in the process of buying and selling properties throughout NC.

Thanks to Wendy Jackson and Ginger Dawson we made a lot of right decisions in the recent selling of my property on Strickland Road. Their preparation, knowledge and flexibility resulted in a strategy that yielded a quick sale at an attractive price. Best of all the smooth process reduced the usual amount of stress that accompanies these transactions. In net, Wendy and Ginger are the best and you'd be lucky to have them as your Realtors."

Joyce Y.

Our relocation to Raleigh was made easy and fun by working with Wendy Jackson.

I have moved over 16 times and in all of my moves I have never worked with a real estate agent who is as knowledgeable, passionate and committed to her customers than Wendy. She is a tour de force regards her clients and their needs. We have three little children and a growing business and making this move to Raleigh could not have been done without the daily interaction with Wendy. Hard working, thoughtful, attention to detail, honest and driven are but a few of the ways I would describe Wendy and her commitment to her customers.

Patrick and Tina Daly

What can I say about these two?

Absolutely exceptional. We forgot to get a form signed before moving out of Raleigh and Wendy drove to Wilmington (where we live now) for us to sign the form. They are both so sweet and kind and we couldn’t ask for a better experience.

"We can't say enough good things about our experience working with Ginger. As first-time home buyers, the idea of purchasing a home was a bit daunting however Ginger made the entire process from start to finish better than we could have ever imagined. Local knowledge - we happened to be looking in an area of Raleigh that was super competitive with little to no inventory so we knew we needed an experienced agent who knew the area and could help us navigate that challenge. Ginger's knowledge of Raleigh/surrounding area is INCREDIBLE. She's lived in almost every corner of the area and was able to provide guidance on the house AND the surrounding neighborhoods which was a nice bonus. She's extremely well connected and was able to find us multiple off-market opportunities that we wouldn't have otherwise had access to. Responsiveness - we always felt like we were Ginger's only priority. Whether it was scheduling showings, drafting offers, amending existing offers, scheduling inspections, etc., Ginger was always on top of everything and put us in the best possible position as buyers. Negotiation Skills - Ginger did a ton of work behind the scenes to ultimately land the house we bought, most of which we'll never know about and that was the best part. She provided guidance when we were involved so that we could make smart decisions and otherwise handled all of the stressful negotiations/conversations with the sellers.We're so incredibly grateful we had the opportunity to meet, work, and become friends with Ginger!"

"All of the reviews you see here are true about Ginger! My husband and I were first time homebuyers when we first met Ginger and we were very lucky that she was our agent. She went through all the steps of home buying with us and more! We felt like we were her only clients because she replied to all of our emails right away. She listened to what we wanted and needed in our home and was very mindful whenever we changed our minds especially with location and pricing. She did a lot of research on the houses we were interested in including the community and the land itself. We never felt rushed or a bother to her. Her realty experience really showed when we started looking at houses. She saw the good and bad in all the houses especially the ones that ordinary people like us would miss. My husband called her vision as “terminator vision” because she can scan through the house and find the flaws in it within minutes! We trusted her decision and insight so much that we were comfortable for her to look at possible houses by herself and narrow it down for us to see. Also, She was our safety net against those pushy sales agents. Even after closing on our home, Ginger was still following up on us. We truly enjoyed working with her. We were glad to find our home but we already miss Ginger! She genuinely cares for her clients and looks out in their best interest. So if you’re looking for an agent right now, Ginger is your gal! You won’t be disappointed! Everything will go smoothly from home search to negotiations to closing!"

"I've known Ginger for 20+ years and I believe we're on home purchase number five but she is also my selling agent so double that.She's as honest as the day is long and truly cares about the home owners happiness and what is best for them. I fall in love at first sight with a house and only see the wonderful details or landscaping and can always count on Ginger to bring me down afterwards. She can walk through a showing with a smile on her face and mentally make notes of all the items that might be potential issues or problems down the road that I walked right past.She also knows the process is stressful and does her best to resolve of diminish any issues that pop up so that she doesn't have to bother the buyer/seller with them. We've become great friends over the years but I still know she treats all her clients the same."

"If you’re looking for a great realtor, I highly recommend Ginger Dawson! Initially, I was a bit anxious about putting my home up for sale.... until I met Ginger! Ginger calmly and expertly guided me through the home selling process from start to finish. She and her team, are professional, knowledgable, responsive, and perhaps most importantly, compassionate and caring during these unsettling times. Ginger accurately assessed the housing market and my neighborhood, offered personalized recommendations unique to my situation, and led the way for me to sell my house quickly -and for the right price! I’m a fan for life! Laurie Q."

"Ginger is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the area along with truly caring that her clients find the home that is the best fit for them. I do not know what we would have done without her. On top of all of that she really cares, beyond reaching out every now and then, she helped my sister find her home and asked me about specific projects my sister was working on."
