Hello! My name is Adam Stetten. 
I am a native North Carolinian, and have had the pleasure of living all over the state. The places in which I have lived include: Bald Head Island, Wrightsville Beach, Wilmington, Hickory, Cary, and Raleigh. I love the Triangle Area and am very proud to call it home.
After growing up in Wilmington, I went to NCSU for Industrial Engineering. Rather than going to work for a furniture manufacturer upon graduation, which is what I was most qualified to do, I began selling new homes for Pulte Homes. I went on to sell for Comstock Homes, went into general brokerage and eventually started Stetten Realty Inc. because I wanted to do more. On my own I envisioned a combined realty, building and property management firm with a strong focus on environmental stewardship. In order to provide all those services under one roof I needed a lot more experience.
I took a job with a non-profit company called Advanced Energy. On the “Applied Building Science Team” I traveled the country, learned, and even taught building science, and met many fantastic people. More than anything I learned that attention to detail is what good buildings are all about.
After spending a year and a half in research, I took a job as a home energy rater. Each day I inspected and tested up to 12 homes that were being built. Generally I would inspect each home at framing, insulation, and when finished so that it could be certified Energy Star compliant or LEED, or whatever green-building program the builder wanted.
In 2010 I got my general contractors license and decided to practice Real Estate for myself full-time, and to supplement those services with contracting and maintenance which are equally as important to me. Because there are so many people who don’t want to move, I started Stetten Home Services to provide solutions for all those folks with leaky or dated property.

Stetten Realty is a full-service firm. We do property management, and we work for investors. We go way beyond brokerage services, and we have lots of experience with foreclosures, insurance work, and specialize in helping those clients who need custom solutions.
Stetten Realty is a totally different type of real estate company.
- We have low-overhead.
- We focus on utility cost reductions.
- We have the property inspected before you make an offer in most cases.
- We have the property inspected just after executing the listing contract.
- We take the guess-work and stress-work out of each and every transaction.
