An independent brokerage for five Raleigh neighborhoods, known street by street, from Oakwood's porches to North Hills.

Free. A range in seconds, then a written number from an agent within one business day.

keystone & pine

We work five neighborhoods inside the Beltline and nowhere else. Every agent here has sold on the streets they talk about.

That focus is the whole idea. A house on Bloodworth Street and a house off Six Forks Road are different sales, with different buyers, inspections and rules.

Oakwood needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before you change a porch rail. A North Hills townhome comes with HOA documents a buyer will ask for in the first week.

So we lead with the neighborhoods. Read the guide, see what sold last month, and if you're selling, start with a number. Read the Oakwood guide

Work out what you'd take home

I started Keystone & Pine in 2014 in an old brick storefront on Person Street, with two agents and one rule: we only take listings in neighborhoods we can walk to.

Twelve years later there are six of us, and the rule hasn't changed. It's why we can tell you which Oakwood porches need Historic Development Commission approval, which Five Points basements take water, and what the house two doors down really sold for.

We're independent. No franchise fee comes out of your sale, and nobody in another state decides how we price your home.

When you call, you get the agent who works your street, and an answer the same day.
