Petra Thomas

I'm a German native who has lived in the Raleigh area since 1993. In 1995 I literally stumbled into my real estate career and have loved every day of it ever since. Even though I've had my brokers license since 1995, it wasn't until July 2007 when my husband Damon joined me in real estate full time that we decided it was time to start our own company, Family Real Estate Brokers. Our goal was to grow a hometown company to provide a one-stop shop for our clients where they can be sure to receive excellent service coupled with integrity, honesty and care. I'm happy to say we're growing our company at a steady pace and are ready to add a few more dedicated agents to our team. Our goal is to make each and every client feel at ease while we're handling all aspects of their real estate transaction. We put 14 years of experience, extensive knowledge of the local market, superior negotiating skills, tenacity and true compassion for our client's indiviual situation to work for each and every client. The outcome is the same every time: a happy client, great friendships, and many referrals.

My husband Damon (also a full-time Realtor and photographer) and I have two children together - Tyler 13 and Sidney 11. We enjoy living in the Raleigh area and find plenty of things to do here as a family. Between Real Estate, kids and their school activities, friends and family there is never a dull moment. Oh yes, and let's not forget our mini zoo which consists of Pepper our Terrier mix , our two cats Brownie and Brownie Boy, Mosnter our Chinchilla and last but not least, Flames our albino corn snake.

While we work with buyers in all of Wake and surrounding counties, we spezialize in the Raleigh and Knightdale market when it comes to working with sellers. Our thought out marketing plan assures that the home gets sold within a time-frame that fits the sellers need. We're experienced in working with first-time buyers, move-up buyers or investors and have access to a great team of professionals to help with all aspects of real estate, such as mortgage products, tax advice, contractors, inspectors, etc.
