"During the summer of 2005, my son and I relocated from Southern New Jersey to Chapel Hill. During preliminary discussions with my new employer, I was given Lia’s contact information. From the start, Lia was so gracious and friendly. She spent time listening to my concerns and desires regarding location, living conditions as well other concerns surrounding the potential relocation."

"Being a single mother of a teenage son I had so many concerns regarding his academic and social adjustment etc. Lia was reassuring and it was obvious that she had listened carefully when it came time for housing recommendations. She continuously addressed the issues we had discussed in every situation."

"When I received my offer and accepted my new assignment in RTP, it was less than a month before school started. Lia was instrumental in making our relocation and transition a smooth and successful one. Not only did she logistically pull off a house hunting trip, sale and move-in by the first day of school, she became a supportive friend to us in the process. We enjoyed working with Lia and we both believe that an ordinarily stressful event was instead a very positive and pleasant experience because of her. "

"We would like to recommend Lia to anyone looking for a home in Chapel Hill. She was instrumental in finding a house for us that we love. She really listened and took all our preferences and requirements very seriously. She has a very pleasant and easy going demeanor. We didn't waste a lot of time discussing or looking at houses that were not right. Relocating from New York City, we weren't sure what to expect, but Lia was able to explain the differences clearly. She knows the neighborhoods inside out and was able to give us very objective advice about each one. Once we started the negotiation process, Lia was extremely diligent in keeping up with all the back and forth and kept our best interest in mind. She has a wide network of professionals that we were able to consult with expeditiously in order to finalize our purchase. We are grateful to Lia for all her hard work and dedication.

"Lia was recommended by a family friend as being the 'best realtor to work with in the Chapel Hill area.' And I found that to be very true. She has the ability to easily get a picture of what a client is looking for, and after looking at 3 or 4 houses in different areas of Chapel Hill, she found one in a nice, quiet, established neighborhood, that really hit the mark for me. As closing drew near she gave me the names of several people to contact (a painter, a landscaper, a carpenter) who all have been wonderful, and they in turn suggested other contractors (tile man, plumber, electrician). If I ever decide to move again I will certainly work with Lia."

"Our Company builds custom homes and Lia Williams was responsible for selling these homes over the last five years. She handled all of our transactions in a very professional manner and we never had any bad experiences with her. She is detail oriented, politely aggressive and always follows up on her promises. We do not hesitate at all in saying that Lia is and will continue to be one of the leading realtors in the triangle."

"In your capacity as key member of the sales team at Southern Village, you [Lia] were most instrumental in attracting qualified home buyers and closing deals on our new homes… You also manage to close deals in such a fashion that it is always a "win-win" on the part of both the seller and buyer. Finally, and most importantly, with your positive attitude and upbeat personality, you have been a great deal of fun to work with over the past several years."

- Randolph L. Walker, President, Timberline Builders

"One of the things I have appreciated so much about you [Lia] is your character. In the face of challenging scenarios, I have repeatedly watched you blend a calm sense of purpose with a real hope for the best outcome for both parties. I believe that our buyers could feel it and I certainly knew I did...I have rarely felt so carefully and successfully represented in new home sales as I have under your watch."
