"With regard to John Trapasso I have never, in my many property transactions, found a realtor as knowledgeable, responsive, tenacious and honest. His deep local market expertise and strong negotiation skills made it a breeze for me in both transactions he has assisted me with in the past few years. I say trust your high value transactions to him. His patient demeanor,
proactive approach, empathy and detail orientation made my transaction as easy and profitable for me as they could be. I would not only recommend John to represent my friends and family in real estate endeavors-- I already have!!!"

I hope to work together again in the future!"

"Working with John to sell our Wake Forest home was a delightful experience. He was always prepared and took the time to educate us along the way. He listened to our preferences and modified his recommendations accordingly, while always giving his professional input. Most of all, his listing brought in multiple fantastic offers. Thanks, John, for helping us sell one house so that we could buy another many miles away."
Joshua W. — Seller · Wake Forest, NC
"After working with multiple other realtors in North Carolina John was a true stand out. He gave us great knowledge about the areas and where he was targeting based on our asks, he came prepared and obviously took our search seriously, he was informed not just about real estate but the areas. The other Realtors we worked with were ok but we felt like just another thing they had to do that day, John made us feel like he was here for us and us alone. Can't recommend him enough!!"

Thank you so much for a very positive experience."
Christina L. — Seller · Kenly, NC
"If you want a realtor who is there for YOU and not to make a quick buck, John is your man. He will be right by your side from when you dip your toe in the market, to when you jump all in. We were looking for a unicorn property for over 2 years all over NC. He sent us many homes that met what we were looking for. He also provided details about the area and did a thorough job finding things that you wouldn’t think of and so much more. He also made sure to let us know of the concerns around properties to make sure we knew exactly what we were getting into and not blindsided after the sale. Once we found the home we loved we toured the house, ran numbers and made an offer. Our situation required us to put our home on the market prior to making an offer. Our house was listed in a timely manner and had people touring our home within 24 hours. Even before professional photos were even taken. He did such a great job with the detailed listing and marketing our house that after 4 days having professional photos listed we got a full price offer. John is a very honest realtor who is not afraid to share the good, bad, and ugly of situations so that once you make a decision he can fight for you from every angle. When it came to the buying process he did all communications, paperwork and helped us with inspections, walk-throughs and so much more. Over all we have had nothing but positive things to say about him. Give him a try and you will not be disappointed!"
Cortney E. — Buyer & Seller · Clayton, NC
"No Better Trusted Advisor
From May through October 2024, John Trapasso Jr of eXp Realty was my agent, and during this time, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication in the field of real estate. Throughout our association, John consistently exhibited the qualities you need in a real estate professional to expedite the sale and / or purchase of real estate.
John’s positive and approachable demeanor allows you to feel comfortable and confident from initial consultation, through showings and negotiations, and at the final transaction. His friendly personality and genuine care for clients' needs create a pleasant and trustworthy working relationship.
John excels in maintaining clear and open lines of communication with clients, ensuring that your needs and concerns are always addressed promptly and effectively. As a skilled negotiator who advocates tirelessly for your best interests, you will be partnered with a trusted adviser whose guidance helps you to 1) avoid costly mistakes and 2) work through any potential issues efficiently.
In our case, John’s thorough understanding of our local real estate market trends enabled us to prepare and position our home properly, which helped entice buyers who wanted to invest sweat equity to buy into a desirable location. Not only were we able to receive bids over our asking price on an asset needing work, but we were able to complete the sale per our timeline (i.e. under 60 days), which helped streamline our probate proceedings.
If you want a trusted partner, look no further than John Trapasso. We are most grateful for his professionalism and expertise, as if made a difficult situation less taxing for us."

John has high Ethics and Integrity and his company is very lucky to have such an amazing person on their team. Proud to call him our realtor, most proud he is our Friend for Life."
Tracey & Cris S. — Buyer · Garner, NC
"My wife and I reached out to a realtor that was evidentally 'too busy' to return our call. Instead, she forwarded my information to John Trapaso, what a blessing this turned out to be! John was extremely willing to listen to our needs, it was as if he was taking detailed notes so as to locate exactly the right house for us. John set us up on an app so we could put homes we liked into a list for review and schedule showings. Well...as luck would have it...John must have been taking detailed notes since the homes that were provided were exactly the type we were looking for! Very efficient. It was good to know that I was dealing with someone so attentive. Once we made our selection, made an offer and it was accepted, John took the lead and arranged all of the ancillary items that needed to be completed. John made the purchase of our new home effortless -with the exception of writing the checks, that always hurts! All in all, I cannot find enough positive adjectives to define my experience with John. Not just a great guy but a superlative realtor. Honesty, ethics, and integrity to the highest level. You will not find a better realtor out there! John also represented us in the sale of our home and got us every penny that we were hoping for! John is a fierce negotiator with a velvet touch. I admit, I am a better buyer than I am a seller but John was very agile in course changes and navigating shark infested waters. He remained a commensurate professional from cradle to grave on that deal. I applaud him for his ability to get the deal closed while dealing with me too! Not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination. In short, I would recommend John to anyone, including my friends, with the knowledge that they could not have it any better. John is a world class realtor among many of lesser caliber. He stands out in the crowd for his commitment to his client and doing the right thing. Kudos John! Glad to have had you on my team."
Matthew B. — Buyer & Seller · Clayton, NC
"john helped me buy my first home and I cannot explain how knowledgeable and informative he was along with being very patient with all of my questions as I learned the process of buying a house, if you are looking for a real estate agent John Is your guy"
Mike M. — Buyer · Smithfield, NC
"John helped my wife an I buy our first home about a month ago. Even though we weren't looking in the high-income tier of homes, he stuck with us for the entirety of the process. We viewed countless homes, and made several offers, and it's difficult to describe his patience with us through the entire process. I think we hit about every hiccup you can hit when buying a home, and he never skipped a beat. Seriously. When you figure in the time he spent showing, talking, offering advice, pointing out large and small issues, and working with paperwork, I'm not even sure how he even made a profit with us. But he was there the entire time. Whether this is your first time buying a home, or you've been through the process before, I couldn't recommend John and the team at Exit Realty enough. Go with him; you won't be disappointed."
Lewis S. — Buyer · Raleigh, NC
"John was a HUGE help to me as a first time buyer. He not only assisted me with finding the home that best fit me but guiding me on the mortgage side from his past experience as a former Loan Officer. I will certainly be recommending him and using him next time I sell/buy."
Jose G. — Buyer · Selma, NC
"Mr. Trapaso was very patient as we looked for homes. We finally landed this one and John walked us from start to finish with us and again very patient as we asked alot of questions since we were from out of state. We have recommended John to several Friends and Relatives plus when its time for us to sell this property and purchase another we will be using John. Thanks to John he even found the lender for us to speak with."
