"My name is Jason Morrow, and I am one of the founders of Capital City Homes. Capital City Homes was started at the end of 2009 and sold to Ashton Woods/Starlight Homes in December of 2021. The company was started from scratch and steadily grew to over 200 closings and 300+ homes under construction before it was sold in December of 2021. Over the 12 Years of operations, Capital City Homes closed 1,278 new homes in the Triangle Region and was involved in the development of at least 7 subdivisions.
To be able to grow at a steady pace, we needed to surround ourselves with great partners. One of the very best in the business was Laurie Evans. Laurie and Neil ended up selling 70 to 80% of our homes (Laurie has sold three of my personal homes over the last 14 years) each year, along with bringing us countless land deals to evaluate. They worked tirelessly to make sure our homes were right before a shovel even went into the ground. They excel at knowing the market and the potential buyer demographic.
Laurie prides herself on always being readily available, which to me was priceless. She and Neil are top producers in the triangle because of their tireless work ethic, communication skills, and honesty."
"As the President and Owner of Amward Homes, a custom home builder in Cary, North Carolina, I have collaborated with many real estate agents over my 30 years in business. Laurie consistently stands out as one of the finest professionals I have encountered in this industry.
What sets Laurie and Neil apart is their exceptional professionalism and dedication to their clients. They approach every transaction with thoroughness and attention to detail, ensuring that all parties are well-informed throughout the process. Their communication is always clear, timely, and effective, which makes working together seamless and efficient.
The team demonstrates a deep understanding of the local market and the unique aspects of custom home construction. We are constantly looking for future market opportunities and have used them as a resource for finding and securing those opportunities.
Beyond her professional capabilities, Laurie is simply a pleasure to work with. She maintains a positive attitude even when challenges arise and works collaboratively to find solutions that benefit everyone involved.
I wholeheartedly recommend Laurie Evans and team to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy real estate agency. They have earned my highest respect and confidence, and I look forward to continuing our professional relationship for years to come."
"In the 20 + years in the business, Laurie is hands down one of the best people I've had the pleasure of working with. Her elite level of drive, work ethic, and hustle is in the top 1% of the market. She is the first person I call for needs, as her customer service keeps me loyal. She is a total gem of a person and exceptional at what she does."
"I have had the pleasure to work with Laurie and Neil over the last 4 years, and I can honestly say that their service exceeds expectations with every interaction. Laurie is an outstanding communicator and always goes above and beyond to make sure that their clients are informed, confident, and comfortable in every decision. Along with being a great person, Laurie’s service, communication, and hustle are what truly set her apart. You never have to wonder what is going on—she makes sure that she communicates frequently—and her entire team provides elite-level dedication and hustle to give the best service to her clients, whether you are a buyer, seller, builder, or developer."
"I have worked with Laurie for 16 years, during which time she has successfully sold multiple communities and homes for ICG Homes. She has a strong work ethic, operates with integrity, and responds quickly regardless of the time or day.
Laurie and Neil have a deep understanding of the market and consistently approach transactions from both the buyer’s and seller’s perspectives, allowing them to find common ground and drive transactions to a successful close. They stay ahead of interior design trends and understand how design choices impact buyer perception and value. Most importantly, they deliver on their promises. In conclusion, they have a deep understanding of real estate and are a valuable asset to anyone they work with."
"I wholeheartedly recommend Laurie Evans as an outstanding real estate professional and person of exceptional character. I have known Laurie for over five years in my capacity as a custom home builder in the Raleigh/Triangle area.
What stands out most about Laurie’s character is her professionalism combined with her approachable, client-centered demeanor. She is known for going above and beyond—listening attentively to clients’ needs, providing honest and informed advice, and maintaining the highest ethical standards even in challenging market conditions, but it is her day-to-day dedication, building long-term relationships, and earning trust that truly defines her.
Laurie is reliable, communicative, and always acts with honesty and respect. She is collaborative with other professionals in the industry and contributes positively to the real estate community in the Triangle region. I have no hesitation in endorsing Laurie and her team for any professional opportunity, award, affiliation, or recognition, as she exemplifies the best qualities of a realtor and community member."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Laurie and Neil for more than a decade. Their expertise and work ethic combined have culminated in a partnership that has evolved through transitioning market conditions, growth, scale, and the ever-changing needs and demands of our shared most valuable priority, our home buyers! They truly take a "golden rule” approach of integrity in everything they do.
They have in-depth knowledge of the Raleigh real estate market, including the marketing, sales process, and contract-to-closing process. But what has made her stand out above the rest is her true understanding of the business, the needs, and the priorities, both financially and otherwise, of the new home builder and building company. The requirements for how they must operate and the level of communication needed require far more than the average agent typically provides.
Laurie's thorough understanding of the new home construction process has made her a true asset to the goals being met for the company. Anyone choosing Laurie and her team will instantly see the difference—you'll see it in your sales, your margins, and your bottom line!"
"I have had the privilege of working with Laurie and Neil for the last 11 years. They have been my main sales advisor for new construction homes as well as land acquisition. From the moment I met Laurie on our first new homeowner orientation walk 11 years ago, I could tell that she had a great work ethic and drive. She was fully engaged with every aspect of the orientation walk and has consistently exemplified the traits of an outstanding builder representative.
They understand the industry. They can be compassionate and caring to their clients at the same time, being stern and direct when necessary. These qualities are highly advantageous from the builder's perspective. They have the determination and creativity, especially in their efforts to push sales over the goal line. As our builder representatives, they never seem to take time off from doing their job, and their responses to emails, texts, and phone calls are always prompt.
It is my humble opinion that Laurie Evans is the best real estate agent in the Triangle area. It has been a pleasure working with her over the last 11 years, and I look forward to this relationship continuing for many years to come."
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Laurie since 2010. Over the years, we've worked together across several companies, and I have witnessed firsthand the professionalism, commitment, and integrity she brings to every endeavor. Laurie is a dedicated real estate professional who consistently goes above and beyond for her clients—whether developers, builders, or home buyers. Her work ethic is unmatched, and she invests herself fully in every project she undertakes.
Laurie's deep knowledge of the market, her drive to succeed, and her natural charisma have earned her a place amongst the top agents in our region. She doesn't just aim to do well; she strives to be the best, and it shows in her results. I have no doubt she is one of the most prominent forces in the real estate market. Her success has, and continues to be, built not only on her knowledge and experience, but also on the strong relationship she has nurtured throughout her career.
We are proud to have her as our lead sales agent as we continue to grow both our home building and development operations."
"I've had the pleasure of working with Laurie Evans, and without hesitation, I can say she is one of the most professional real estate brokers I've encountered in my career. Having been in this industry for many years and worked with countless Brokers, they stand far above the rest.
Her attention to detail, commitment to understanding the business from every angle, and her timeless and proactive approach are evident in everything she does. Laurie never once said, “I can't” —she always delivers on her promises and consistently goes above and beyond, with purpose and integrity.
My only regret is not having met Laurie and Neil earlier in my career. I do not doubt that working with them from the start would have made my job significantly easier. I highly recommend Laurie, Neil, and their team to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate professional."
