I love what I do - it's in my blood :) I have consistently been a top producer since the moment I stepped into real estate. I am in the TOP 50 Brokers here locally (out of 13,000+) & TOP 1% of RE/MAX nationally until switching to eXp Realty in 2020. It is exciting to think little old me started this career full time at the age of 22 (I've actually been licensed since 1999!!!) & now to see what years of hard work has become! I've had the pleasure of being in Entrepreneur Magazine, a big TV debut on HGTV, Indy Weeks Best Realtor in Wake County, and more! I have lived in this area for almost 28 years - went to middle & high school in Apex, college at NC State (GO PACK!) where I graduated in 2000 with a degree in Business Management. I bought my first house in Apex, remodeled my next house in Cary, and have been a resident of Raleigh for a little over 13 years! Long and short, I know this area inside & out. And it doesn't just stop at homes – I love all the venues our area has to offer from museums to greenway systems to an excellent food scene. It isn't uncommon to find my family out and about locally trying something new. My husband & I welcomed our first child in the summer of 2015 and we are experiencing exciting new things every day! Although I like to think of myself as Superwoman, I can't do this all by myself! I do promise you that each client gets the individualized attention they deserve.

My name is Aaron Reel and I am the Owner, Broker, REALTOR® of Reel Realty. I’m married to my beautiful wife, Katharine Reel. Katharine and I grew up in Kernersville, NC and we met in 1st grade. We have 2 children, Ellie and Grady, and they sure do keep us on our feet. My wife and I bought our first home January of 2014 and I fell in love with real estate. The searching became a hobby. The negotiations and the due diligence period intrigued me. Mix that with my obsession of House Hunters and I knew real estate was going to be “my thing.” My career launched in October of 2014 and it has become a passion of mine. I love everything about it. People oftentimes ask how work is and I respond, “What’s work?!” When you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. I stopped working October of 2014. My first year, I sold $2.3 million – then $4.2 million – and next thing I knew I was at $7.2 million for 2018. With business taking off, I knew I had to launch Reel Realty. So what makes Reel Realty different? Our Slogan Our slogan is “Real Life. Reel Realty.” Buying and Selling your home is a personal, emotional experience. It’s all about lifestyle. It’s about your life. It can be a stressful experience, but Reel Realty is here to help throughout the entire process. We realize that your home is a part of your life and we want to be a part of your life as well. Availability. You know how the corporate world gives you the option to have your office door opened or closed? I always have an open “door” policy. My phone is always on ring. I always tell my clients to call, text, or email me anytime. Negotiation Ever since I was a little boy, I have always loved the concept of negotiation. I remember being about 6 years old and I went to yard sales, farmers markets, flea markets, local shops – I always negotiated pricing and it became a hobby. Being an expert negotiator is crucial to buying and selling homes. Across the 100+ homes I have sold, I have either gained or saved my clients hundreds of thousands of dollars. Marketing My state of the art marketing team is here to help you – at no extra cost! We pride ourselves on elite marketing so we can get our listings seen and sold quickly at top dollar. Professional photography, video walk through commercials, targeted audience boosting through social media platforms, coming soon options, flyers/brochures, text for instant info, and SO MUCH more! Marketing is our specialty and we would love to customize our marketing for your home. Why is Reel Realty selling in the TRIAD and the TRIANGLE? I lived in Kernersville, NC for 12 years and moved to the Raleigh/Durham area in 2012. After selling 100+ homes in the Triangle – it was time to expand into the Greensboro/Winston market. I know both markets like the back of my hand and I don’t want to limit our services and knowledge to only 1 area. Thanks for getting to know me! Now, it’s your turn. I’d love to get to know you and see how I can help. Let’s grab coffee or lunch and talk about how I can serve you.

Folks born and raised in Chapel Hill will tell you that even living here since 1982, as I have, does not qualify you as a true Chapel Hill native. So, a long time ago, I decided to deepen my Chapel Hill roots by marrying my Carolina Girl. And for a long while we lived in the house she grew up in, right in downtown Chapel Hill. Ah, the college basketball games we have seen at our home. From our front yard we could hear the crowd roar at Kenan Stadium. We watched the seasons change by seeing the students come and go. Chapel Hill is a special place. What does this have to do with Real Estate? Just to say that I appreciate and enjoy living in the Triangle area. I know it well - all of it: Durham, Hillsborough, Pittsboro, Cary, Apex & Raleigh included along with Chapel Hill/Carrboro. I feel I am a great ambassador of our wonderful area. And having been a full-time, high volume REALTOR since 2003 gives me the experience & skill to help our Buyers & Sellers in the best way possible.
