I began searching for a home in August 2005, and I was uncertain if I was ready to purchase a home but I found something that caught my eye. I contacted the listing agent and spoke with the agent. Little did I know that person would change my life and change it in such a great way!
I met Whitney Rich one afternoon to review the details of the property and other listings and it all began from there. Within a few short months we viewed many properties and the average realtor would have gotten a little frustrated because I had not made a selection. Not Whitney! He knew just I wanted, and he was not about to suggest that I settle for anything less. Whitney worked overtime in assisting me find the perfect home! Each time I called him he was more than willing to communicate information regarding the entire process.
Whitney worked diligently with me day and night to make sure I got the home I wanted. I cannot believe someone so gifted and dedicated came into my life to assist me with the most important decision I would ever make. I always thought that buying a home was a decision made by the buyer and the realtor was there to make a commission. Not Success Realty! Whitney was always there with answers to questions, and if he did not know the answer he researched and found the answer. Whitney was more concerned about making me happy than he was about making money. At no time did he attempt to raise my budget goal, nor did he ever attempt to persuade me to purchase something I could not afford.
I know that I will definitely use Success Realty again! I am so blessed to have met Whitney and the Success Realty team, they are a top class firm who goes out of their way to make the clients happy. They have to make money, but they are more concerned with the happiness of their clients and that makes a major difference, because having someone who thinks about your needs and not about how they are going to benefit is extremely important when making a decision to purchase a home.
Thank you to the Success Realty team! - Victor Carrington
Melvin Watson, a man of integrity, one who listens and one who truly cares about his clients. My very first visit with Melvin, we talked about that I wanted and he found it for me! This whole process began in February 2005 and I moved in December 2005. I explained to Melvin that I had a daycare, A Child’s Vision, so I didn’t want to rush it and he was extremely patient with me. He met with me after my daycare close and even came to me so I could sign papers! Melvin surpassed my expectations! I thank and praise God for Melvin and all of the other people who assisted in this exciting journey with me. My sincere prayer is that God will continue to bless you with great things and bring more successful opportunities your way! Again, thank you for all that you have done for me and the daycare. I look forward to working with you again in the near future!
This was my first home buying experience and honestly Mr. Watson was very helpful from our first meeting all the way to the end! There is nothing that I would have done differently! - Nikita Sanders & A Child’s Vision - December 22, 2005
My first home buying experience was amazing. I thought that I would be extremely nervous throughout the process, but my realtor Melvin Watson made it a pleasurable experience. Melvin provided answers to all my dire questions and had my best interest at heart. I would like to thank Melvin for everything that he has done. I will definitely keep Success Realty in mind for future home purchases.
The services that I received from Melvin Watson were outstanding. - Erica Green - November 30, 2005
My husband and I are so happy to have worked with Success Realty and especially Melvin Watson. He was always available to answer questions and he made us feel as if we were his only clients. I have recommended Melvin to my sister who lives in Maryland now but will hopefully be moving to Durham, NC soon. - Ruben & Nigel Wall - September 30, 2005
I am so blessed to have chosen Success Realty to assist me in finding my home! I met Whitney Rich in August 2005 and I had no idea how great he was going to be. Whitney worked around the clock to make sure I received the best deal, he researched and found answers to questions, and he made sure that I was not being taken advantage of. Whitney steered me in the direction of the best lenders who were equally concerned about the welfare of my investment. Even after the closing, Whitney has been there to assist with items that warrant attention from the sellers and/or the seller’s agents. The entire Success Realty team is a great team of realtors to have in your corner, I am so grateful to have had such a professional, loyal and dedicated realty company to guide me, help me and protect me in making the biggest decision I will probably ever make. Thank you Success Realty for being a firm who cares about the needs of the client! - Victor L. Carrington - December 2005
My name is Jetonga Keel and I am a 26-year-old homeowner. A couple of years ago I would never have thought that I would be able to say those words or even conceive that this dream could happen, but with the help of Whitney Rich my real estate agent, he made that dream become a reality November 2005. Through Whitney I was able to gain valuable knowledge about the whole process of purchasing a home. He even provided me with a booklet that outlined the entire process. No matter what question I had or how many times I needed him to explain it to me, he always remained patient and understanding and just in general really took the time to show that he cared; that I wasn’t just another prospective buyer. He truly went above and beyond the call of duty and for that I will always be grateful. Because of his caring and professionalism, I have recommended Whitney Rich and Success Realty to all my friends that are interested in purchasing a home. Thanks for everything. - Jetonga Keel - November 2005
We’ve discovered that success was actually achieved by working with Success Realty. We want to thank Whitney Rich for helping our family find our home. The professional courtesy shown to us was outstanding. The amount of patience Whitney took to find us the house was awesome. Whitney, and Success Realty, again thank you for all your time & energy spent in finding my family our home and making our dreams a reality. - Gaylord & Brenda Gilliam - Durham, NC - November 2005
Over the past two years, Whitney Rich and his staff at Success Realty have successfully assisted me with personal and business acquisitions that have substantially increased my portfolio. Mr. Rich’s negotiating skills are unmatched and his attention to detail set him apart from the average realtor. The professionalism and experience offered by Success Realty are the main reasons I will continue to use this agency as well as recommend their services. - Carlos Brown - President - ACG Enterprises of NC, Inc - May 2005
I would like to give a hardy thank you to my Success Sells realtor Tonya Mizelle. Tonya made my first home-buying experience an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Professional, knowledgeable, and always very helpful and friendly, Tonya helped me feel relaxed and confident knowing I was is very capable hands. Having been an apartment dweller for all my adult life, buying a home was a major undertaking. And now that I’ve lived in my new home for just over one month, I know I made the right decision. It’s great! I can see myself living here for many years to come.
I highly recommend Tonya Mizelle to anyone looking for a home. Thanks Tonya. - William L. Nowell - Raleigh, NC - August, 2003
I would like to thank Tonya Mizelle for her the exquisite job she did with the sell of my property. It was my first time selling a home and she is not only a consumate professional but made the process very easy. The open communication and her knowledge of the business freed uo a lot my time to properly plan my relocation to Atlanta, GA. I would recommend Tonya to anyone who is in need of a realtor. - Bonina Harris - Cisco Systems, Inc. - May, 2005
We want to take the time and tell you how truly lucky you are to have Melvin Watson working with you. We have worked very closely with Melvin and his clients on lot 42 The Webley’s at Cardinal Lake for the last few months. It has been a pleasure to work with someone like Melvin.

Although I currently work in the "real estate/mortgage" profession, as a first-time homebuyer, I was still a bit nervous about the actual process of finding the perfect home for me. Upon recommendation from one of my colleagues, I decided to give Whitney Rich a call. My co-worker knew that I was looking for a very personable individual who would understand my needs and make this process as easy as possible. Needless to say, Whitney understood my needs, immediately gaining a sense of what my requirements in a home were and gauging location, amenities, etc. After looking at over 15 properties, we both came across the perfect place. Whitney helped me weigh my options, and we decided to put an offer in on the property. I was so pleased with the solid offer that Whitney presented to the seller's and their agent, and was elated to find out that they accepted later on that same evening. He continued to look out for my best interest through everything, even after I closed. Constant communication, availability, patience and overall passion for helping people, like myself, is what drives Whitney and Success Realty. They have truly made my dream of home ownership a beautiful reality. There are no words to describe the depth of gratitude that I have. And of course, when I am ready to move into a bigger home down the road, I will be returning to Success with no questions asked...and will be sending everyone that I know, who is in the market, your way. Thanks again for everything that you have done and will continue to do. - Jacquetta Vaughan - Cary, NC - March 2005
It was an unbelievably quick and almost effortless journey thanks to the professionalism and efforts by Whitney. He not only helped answer all the questions, and constant concerns as we got closer to closing, he went above and beyond to ensure we were making the most informed and most practical decisions possible. Thank you Whitney for your tireless efforts, we absolutely love our new home and cannot believe what a pleasant experience it really was. - Ron & Cristy LaPann - Mebane, NC - October, 2004
My wife and I moved to Memphis from Washington DC and consulted Tonya about buying a home. We were completely clueless about the process. Tonya was able to find the best Mortgage Broker for us. Moreover, she researched the Memphis area and located a realtor who matched our needs perfectly. However the most important attribute that Tonya offered us was her ability to communicate complex "realtor talk" into terms we could understand and make informed decisions about. She fought on our behalf. Thank you Tonya for helping us through a difficult process! - Eric and LaTresa - October 2004
Me and my husband talked about buying a home within 1 to 2 years. We were stressed about saving money and how much money to save. Thanks to Tonya Mizelle our home buying process was a whole lot easier than what we had imagined. Tonya introduced us to professional people who helped us get our affairs in order, plus we were blessed with putting no money down. In six months we had a brand new house. Thanks for helping us achieve a life long goal. - Lea J. Alston - Raleigh, NC - Independent Self-Care Consultant #2074

You made us fell like we were very important clients and for that we will refer all our friends and family to you. Thank You - Wayland and Sha'Ronn Brown Durham, NC November 2003
I would like to thank you for assisting my wife and I in the process of obtaining our new home. We were expecting a long and drawn out search for a new home. You made that search easy for us with your knowledge of the area and builders. That really helped us to limit our search and gave us a comfort level when choosing a builder. Again thank you for your expertise and guidance. We will refer and recommend all our friends and family to you. Thank You - Wayland and Sha'Ronn Brown Durham, NC March 2004
I was very pleased with the personal care and consideration that I was shown by Whitney Rich. He made accommodations for my constantly changing schedule, which I know was very discouraging at times.

My first home buying experience started out as intimidating only to become one of the friendliest, funniest, and exciting times of my life.

Being introduced to Whitney Rich and Rodney Debro thru a referral was truly a blessing for my husband and I. We always thought about buying a new home but with credit issues you sometimes put that on the back burner. Working with them made the entire process bearable and less intimidating because they did all the work and guided us thru the process. We are very thankful and would recommend them highly to family and friends. When and If we ever move up up another home we already know who we will choose. Thank You! Whitney and Rodney
- Willis and Kathy Glanton, Durham, NC May 2003
Tonya, I sincerely appreciate your professionalism and expertise during the process. As a first-time buyer, I was a little intimidated by the time and effort required. But you held my hand through it all! Things did not always go as expected, but we maneuvered around the roadblocks and there was success at the end. Your updates and communication were incredible and I felt comfortable with you from day we toured the model until closing. I truly love my home! Thanks for being my agent and friend through one of the most important milestones of my life. - Torrez B. Harris, Raleigh, NC February 2003
If it were not for Tonya, we would not be in a house right now. She will be an advocate every step of the way. Our plan was to be in a house within a year to a year and a half. We were in a house within 4 months. Thanks, Tonya for being an agent and a friend. - Michelle and Greg, Raleigh, NC February 2003
You were a blessing in our life. It truly was a pleasure working with you... I'm proud to have had this opportunity. - Mr. & Mrs. Dupree, Durham, NC November 2002
I want to thank you very sincerely for guiding me through the process of buying my own home. Your knowledge of FHA and other assistance programs made it possible for me, and has helped me reach a milestone. I really appreciate your kind and friendly demeanor along with your high standard in professionalism. What you've brought to this experience has made all the difference to me in a situation, where under normal circumstances, I wouldn't have had a chance. You do a great service to people that are trying to improve their lives by making positive changes. Thank you. - Pramila Singh Durham, November 2002

We will definitely entrust our family and friends to you for a great realty experience. - Solomon & Elisa Wells, Durham, NC August 2002
Now that I'm comfortably settled into my first new home I want to take this time to thank you for all you did. You were a wonderful realtor, you kept your appointments, were easy to relate to, and of course eventually helped me get the perfect house for me at an affordable price. It turns out that I'm now paying considerably less for my mortgage than I was for my rent. - Elisia Smith, Durham, NC June 2002
I really enjoyed working with Whitney. His professionalism and flexibility in scheduling was a blessing. I would definitely refer my friends interested in purchasing a new home to Success Realty. - Tamiko Watts, Raleigh, NC

I have nothing but great things to say about his services and I will refer him to anyone that is in need of a realtor. I know that he will continue to do a great job. – Kimberly Coleman, Raleigh, NC
I am very pleased with the services provided by Success Realty. My home buying experience wasn't as smooth as anticipated, however my realtor remained patient, loyal and motivated to help. I don't believe that I would have received such excellent service anywhere else. I'm glad I chose Success Realty. – Tisha Baker, Raleigh, NC
Melvin is one of the most professional and courteous young men that I have ever met. He made me comfortable and able to trust him during our first meeting. Melvin made every effort to work with my schedule and I really appreciated that. – Sherry Lee I've known Whitney Rich for years! When it was time for me and my wife to make our first home investment, there was no question that I would go to Whitney for his expertise and guidance. We bought our first home in 1997 with his assistance. Then we called Whitney 9 years later and told him that we needed his help again. He sold our house in less than 30 days, and had us in the home of our dreams on the same closing day! I can't thank Whitney and Success Realty enough! I had so many people tell me that we were crazy to have the closing dates on the same day. Or just horror stories in general about selling and buying. But Whitney made sure that the process would flow smooth........AND IT DID!!
Whitney......"if" we decide to move again, you know who we're calling! Thanks again! Tracy, Kimberly, and Taylor Pierce Durham, NC June 2006
