How We Work With You

Buying a Home in the Triangle

You get an agent who has walked the neighborhoods, not one reading you the MLS description over the phone. We cover 16 cities and towns and maintain individual pages on 490+ communities, written from firsthand knowledge — which streets back the power-line easement, which HOAs are run well, which builder is three months behind on delivery right now.

Best fit: First-time buyers, move-up buyers, anyone who has been outbid twice and wants to know why.

Selling Your Home

Pricing comes first, and we will tell you the number we believe rather than the number that wins the listing appointment. That is the whole difference. You get pre-market prep, professional media, and a marketing plan built around how buyers in your price band actually search — which in the Triangle increasingly means a relocating buyer looking at your house on a phone from another state.

Best fit: Sellers with a timeline, estate and inherited property sales, FSBOs who have learned what the work involves.

New Construction and Custom Builds

This is the part most agents cannot do. Tim does not just sell new construction — he builds. Custom homes, infill, builder negotiations, zoning. When you sit across from a builder's on-site sales rep, that rep works for the builder. We know what their incentives actually cost, which upgrades hold value, and which line items are negotiable this quarter. We maintain pages on 151+ Triangle builders, from production through semi-custom to full custom.

Best fit: Anyone about to walk into a model home alone. Do not sign a builder contract without representation — the builder pays your agent, and going in unrepresented saves you nothing.

Relocating to the Triangle

We have placed 200+ medical professionals, tech workers, and corporate transfers since 2008 — many of whom bought a house here having visited once. The process is built for that: virtual tours, school-zone walkthroughs, commute-time reality checks (the I-40 backup is real and it appears on no listing), and same-day offers when the market demands them.

Best fit: Duke Health and UNC Health hires, RTP transfers, military and government moves, out-of-state buyers on a 60-day clock.

Investment and Commercial

Rental acquisition, portfolio strategy, 1031 exchanges, DSTs, and cost segregation — plus land and lot sourcing for buyers who would rather build than buy.

Best fit: Investors adding Triangle exposure, owners facing a 1031 deadline, buyers assembling a lot for a custom build.

Service in Spanish

Our team serves clients in fluent Spanish through every stage — showings, negotiations, contract review, closing. Not a translation app. The entire site, every community page and every guide, is published in Spanish as well as English.

Best fit: Spanish-speaking buyers and sellers, ITIN buyers, families searching on behalf of a relative.

Who We Are Not For

We are not the cheapest agent you will find, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. If commission rate is the deciding factor, there are hundreds of agents in the Triangle who will beat us on price.

What we compete on is knowing the builders, the neighborhoods, and the contracts well enough that the outcome is better than the discount. A buyer who saves half a point and overpays $20,000 for the wrong lot did not win anything. If that trade is the one you want to make, we should talk.
