Matt & Leslie Thomas
DJ is 5 stars and an A+ all the way. We would definitely work with him again. His knowledge and experience is unmatched, and it is obvious he genuinely cares about his clients. His assistant, DeAna...is also a gem. They are a great team! Hire with confidence!
DJ helped us sell our home of 17 years and find a new home with some very specific criteria. This was a very stress filled time for our family. DJ not only stayed in near constant communication but also handled all of the details, made recommendations and expertly guided the negotiations of both deals. He made the process fun and always treated us in a caring and professional manor. WOW! I would absolutely recommend DJ.
Anna and Tripp
You are an incredible realtor and we appreciate everything you have done for us over the last several months. You are personable, professional and uniquely gifted in this profession - we plan to recommend you to everyone we know!
Neelam & Ajay
D.J. is a great person to work with. He provided invaluable insight about the local market and gave us many reliable contacts for a number of related services. He went above and beyond what would reasonably be expected. We give him our highest recommendation.
Janet Bassford
DJ McGarrigan did a market analysis before pricing our home. He used several internet sites and magazines to get pictures and information about our home out to potential buyers. We really liked his technique, ideas, and his staff who help make buying and selling a home with him a pleasure. Thanks DJ!!
Jack Bedrosian
DJ was extremely professional in his approach to selling our home and knew how to market it to drive traffic. The result was a quick sale. Subsequently DJ's knowledge of the market also helped us quickly find our new home. He always had our best interests in mind and made the entire process move effortlessly. I highly recommend DJ for your real estate needs. Reply
Stephanie Linn
"I should preface this review by saying we have bought homes in many different states around the country, so we have had experience in other markets with lots of other realtors. DJ was great to work with. He is a great agent, very attentive and helpful throughout the whole process. We ended up having some loan issues at the last minute, however his calm demeanor and professionalism help allay our fears. We closed without any other issues and we are settling into our new home. Should we need another real estate professional in the future we will definitely use DJ again."
Cheryl Dearman
"I wish I could rate DJ and his team higher than 5 stars! They are the absolute best. DJ is by far the best real estate agent I have ever worked with and we have sold multiple homes. He has your best interest at heart, and is very knowledgeable about the market. DJ and his team are great at communicating with you and getting things done!"

Buyer's Agent
It was a pleasure working with you on the sale of 103 Farriers Lane. I sincerely appreciate all the time and effort you put into helping this home close successfully! These transactions are stressfuly enough, but it's wonderful to have an agent on the other side that has the ability to represent their client and see the bigger picture at the same time. Thanks again for you professionalism. Kathleen Graham Postel
Marjorie Parshley
DJ was very knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. In spite of having a lot of clients he was very responsive. Our home ended up being extremely difficult to sell and so we are thankful DJ was able to sell our house so we could move onto the next phase of our lives.
Kevin Williams
DJ was great for my situation. I had recently had a child and did not have much time to dedicate to getting my house ready for sale. DJ took care of facilitating all of the painting and cleaning both inside and outside of my home. I strongly recommend DJ and his team!!!
Rich Ionta
DJ is great to work with and has a solid team of helpful people working with him. Although the housing markets are difficult to navigate he was always informing us of issues and opportunities and made a comprehensive effort to market our home. I would recommend DJ McGarrigan to anyone in need of professional help in buying or selling a home.
Dana B
DJ sold my home in 2 days! He priced it right, gave me good advice on what needed to be spruced up before we went on the market, and was always available for questions/concerns/updates. His team was first rate and kept me informed at all times. I would definitely use him again should the occasion arise!
Mark Dufrain
Hired DJ from across the country when we had issues with our relocation realtor. DJ and his team quickly got our house back on the market while drastically improving the listing photos etc. Also coordinated some needed work to get the house show ready so I didn’t have to get involved. Multiple offers in a short period of time. Thanks to you and your team!!!
Steve Hase
DJ and his team are the most professional, poised issue solvers I know. They have sold our home, and helped us buy another just two days ago. Three cheers
The Teagues
DJ and team far exceeded expectations throughout our entire process of purchasing a home!!! He was extremely responsive, readily available and we always felt he had our best interest in mind. He also showed a high level of patience as it took us several months to find our dream home! He's a savvy negotiator and knows his markets extremely well. There is no one else we'd work with!
Jane Ellen Cunningham
DJ McGarrigan and his employees were wonderful from start to finish. DJ came to my house and met with me first. He has such a relaxed and calm nature and explained everything that would happen and asked for my feedback and preferences, totally allowing me to express any concerns I had. He quickly made me feel relaxed and confident that he really knew what he was doing. When he suggested "staging" I was worried that would mean my whole house would be turned upside down with someone else's furniture and I wasn't sure exactly what was going to happen. Once again, DJ reassured me, and DeAna and the other fabulous stagers made my house look amazing for photos and showings by adding only a couple of pieces of furniture, but moving art and furniture to much better locations in my house. They were friendly and not at all invasive, so creative and talented. We had one painless open house and several showings and the house sold and closed within about two months. I got the price I had hoped for, as well. One of the best things about the McGarrigan group is that they know a lot about the Lake Jeannette area, especially DJ, who lives in Lake Jeanette. Every time there was a showing, one of DJ's staff was present at my home to answer questions about the house and the Lake Jeanette area. This was crucial, as many potential buyers are not from Greensboro and need to know the differences between parts of the city. DJ and his group were sure to convey all the wonderful things about living in Lake Jeanette. Rhonda was fantastic tying together all loose ends for the closing and facilitating communication between the buyers and myself. She explained some of the forms and processes I wasn't familiar with, as well. She always responded to my many requests and questions quickly and clearly. I am so happy in my new home, which DJ also helped me find. The whole house selling and buying process was seamless with the McGarrigan Group and I recommend them 100%!!
Jesse Chandler
DJ did an excellent job bringing us through a difficult sale. There were issues that arose very close to the closing that nearly submarined the whole deal, but thanks to DJ's excellent grit, hard work and professionalism we're able to satisfactorily finish the deal. I feel certain that without his help this whole thing could have fallen apart. We also were very pleased with his whole team. I would recommend them to anyon
Katie Redhead
"DJ works hard to make a transaction work even when facing insurmountable odds. After all these years of being in real estate this was our first transaction and I admired his ability to navigate what we had to navigate !" -Katie Redhead"He has a very organized team in place to assist him."
Louis Gallen
DJ and his team are seasoned professionals who return your messages and calls quickly and are extremely pleasant and easy to work alongside. DJ's more laid back personality and his team's diligence combines perfectly in finding the right house for their clients. My sister in law had the same experience with them at the beginning of the year. So, we have a family realtor.
Sean Willoughby-Ray
Great job. Very satisfied. DJ and Team work great together and make buying a home easy and gratifying. I recommend them to everybody who wants a great deal a great process and to be completely satisfied
Jerry Eades
DJ McGarrigan is the most knowledgeable and absolutely honest realtor I have ever worked with. His understanding of his marketplace accurately foretold each event and response during the negotiations he has guided my wife and I through with the two closings in which he has represented us. I unhesitatingly endorse him to anyone desirous of the best representation available.
Matthew Blanchard
DJ was great and very knowledgeable. He helped us with every step of the way and was always available. He went out of his way to help us find and close our dream house.
Bill Chandler
I had a first rate experience purchasing my new home with the help of DJ McGarrigan and his very professional associates. They made every step of the process easy for me and I was confident that everything found on the inspection was corrected. The closing was seamless and I am enjoying my new home.
William Chandler
DJ McGarrigan and his associates were extremely professional and effective. DJ was always available and was very timely in his advice about when to look at a property. I have complete confidence in his judgement and integrity.
Kevin Dean Harrison
DJ McGarrigan was responsive, helpful, timely, knowledgeable and all around great guy to work with. We will use him again and help with referrals.
Michael Peterson
Great Experience buying our second home. Closing cordinator was on top of communication. Exactly what I expect when buying a home through an agent.
Lisa Ann Brayton
DJ has helped me with two home purchases in the last few years. He represented me in a way that helped me to make a quick and informed offer that was accepted and closed with little to none back and forth. He and his staff are responsive and both of my closings went seamlessly. I would recommend him if you are buying or selling.
Edward Hannan Jr
Great job to the McGarrigan team! Tate seems to be a well respected and established broker in NC. That said they can bring to bear extensive market knowledge as well as a full complement of necessary experts and craftsmen as needed throughout the course of the home buying or selling experience.
Hugh Arnaud
DJ has excellent command of the market and the drivers behind it, and applies it well. He and his team stayed in close communication with us thru the whole process, providing excellent counsel and response. Whether buying, selling or both, we’d highly recommend DJ McGarrigan as your Realtor.
Vincent Harris
The McGarrigan Group functions with excellence and integrity. They were engaged throughout our home buying experience while providing timely and essential feedback. The entire staff functioned as though we were their only client. I highly recommend the McGarrigan Group and will consider them for all future home buying/selling needs.4/24/2020 - Vincent HarrisYesActions"The McGarrigan Group functions with excellence and integrity.

Wayne Phillip Proctor
My family and I were being relocated for work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Timing was critical to see homes before the city was "closed" due to the pandemic. DJ was fantastic in getting us set up to view several homes and ultimately getting one under contract in just a couple of days. In the period leading up to the closing, DJ and his team were instrumental with all of closing preparations and especially helpful with several great referrals for other companies needed to close in a timely manner. I would not only recommend the McGarrigan Group, but will use them for my next real estate needs.

Richard Thomason
DJ was beyond amazing and professional at all stages. DJ helped me navigate the ups and downs and twists and turns that come with purchasing real estate in NC. His advice and knowledge was spot on and pointed out things I would have easily missed even after being in real estate myself in Arizona for more than 20 years. I would hands down highly recommend DJ and note that if you are not using him for your real estate transactions, you are doing yourself a great disservice!
Will Hamilton
DJ was geat to work with in the recent sale of our home. DJ had assisted us in two prior times in both selling and purchasing homes and in this most recent sale and prior experiences, DJ and his team provided valuable insights in displaying our home, were extremely customer focused, consistently professional, and always reachable. We have appreciated DJ's honesty and candor in both how and what to list our home. My wife and I are very pleased and would highly recommend DJ for representing either a buyer or seller.
Amanda Castor
DJ and his team were amazing to work with! They had great attitudes and knew so much about the real estate business. They quickly had our house on the market while helping us purchase our dream home simultaneously. We appreciate their responsiveness and dedication! We found our forever home, but I would recommend DJ to anyone looking to buy or sell.
D.J. and his staff were professional, patient and persistent in selling our property. Because of the aforementioned, they are presently handling a second property for me.
Guy Ribando, DDS
"D.J. and the whole McGarrigan group are top notch. They provide great service and attention to detail. If you need someone to help you navigate the process of purchasing a new home or selling a home then they are the best. I would highly recommend them. "
Gene & Mary Serpe
"DJ McGarrigan and his team did an outstanding job in preparing our home for sale, and in a very timely manner. He earned every penny of his commission. We were especially appreciative of the suggestions made by the House Stager, as well as the quality repairs and renovations carried out by all members of his work crew. Lastly, DJ and his staff were always quick to respond to our questions and concerns."
Kelly Tysinger
We met DJ by calling to see a property he had listed at the time. From that moment he became our agent for all property transactions. DJ goes above and beyond what I ever expected from a realtor. His group takes care of you every step of the way. No matter if your property is small or large he give his clients first class service.
You and your team came through at the critical times...the moving company, the 41 page inspection report, the to do list, and the showing requests. My daughter Deidre was correct – you and your crew are true professionals dedicated to getting the job done. I can recommend your services to anyone who asks. We hope the new people enjoy the home as much as we did.Bob and Carol Kahrs
Tom Jacubowitz
Did what he said he would, worked hard, great team. House was on the market for six months. He took over, moved it in three. He stayed within our revisions budget, gave us an honest price frame for our family, listened, responded the same day or a memeber of his team did.
Mike Henry
My experience with DJ and his very capable staff was outstanding. Ours was an unusual and challenging transaction but DJ was thorough, efficient and professional in anticipating our every move and exceeding our expectations. I could not have imagined a better experience and outcome. DJ McGarrigan Group earned my highest recommendation.
DJ is 5 stars and an A+ all the way. We would definitely work with him again. His knowledge and experience is unmatched, and it is obvious he genuinely cares about his clients. His assistant, DeAna...is also a gem. They are a great team! Hire with confidence!
