Medical Professionals

Match Day is almost here! Each March, hundreds of fourth-year medical students hoping to complete their education in a top program are matched with Duke University or UNC residency and fellowship training programs. Both hospitals offer many top-ranked programs as rated by Doximity Residency Navigator and U.S News & World Report.

So if your match brings you to the beautiful Triangle region of North Carolina, you’re in luck! Durham and Chapel Hill are both great places to live, attracting people from around the country with an alluring mix of sunny weather, charming Southern culture, awesome sports teams and excellent schools. But where are you going to live?

That’s where we come in. At Local Market Realty, Michele Burris and Sue Fox specialize in working with medical professionals. We have many years of experience helping Duke and UNC residents find the right home quickly, within their budget and close to campus, before their residency begins. We can help you with financing too, as we have a list of reputable lenders who provide zero-percent down “doctor loans” to medical residents.

Many residents choose to buy a home here rather than rent, because the numbers tend to favor ownership. We have helped our past clients calculate the difference between renting a $1500/month apartment and buying a home with a similar mortgage payment, and buying a home generally results in a savings of tens of thousands of dollars over just a few years. If you prefer to rent, we can help you with that too.

Choosing a residency program is one of the biggest decisions new physicians face in their careers. You’ve done the hard part… now give us a call and let us make your housing search easy.

Imagine building your dream home where the loudest neighbors are songbirds and the busiest traffic is a family of deer wandering through the trees. This exceptional 6-acre homesite offers the rare combination of privacy, convenience, and natural beauty that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Originally part of a working farm, the property is now nearly entirely wooded, providing a peaceful setting with mature trees and endless possibilities for creating your own private retreat. A newly installed gravel driveway with culvert access from Redwood Road welcomes you onto the property, gracefully winding more than 500 feet in an elegant S-curve before opening into the heart of the homesite—offering both convenience and an impressive entrance. One of this property's most valuable features is what lies beyond it. The land immediately behind the property is protected by a tree conservation area, ensuring no future homes will be built directly behind you. That permanent buffer creates a level of privacy that's difficult to replicate. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being just about one mile from a public boat ramp on Falls Lake, making it easy to spend weekends fishing, kayaking, or enjoying a day on the water. Despite its tranquil setting, the property offers outstanding accessibility—approximately two miles from I-85, less than 15 minutes to downtown Durham, and about 25 minutes to Raleigh-Durham International Airport. A soil report is already available, giving buyers valuable information as they begin planning their future home. If you've been searching for acreage that offers room to breathe without sacrificing convenience, this lot is ready to become the foundation for your next chapter. Bring your builder (or use ours), your vision, and your dreams—the hard part is finding land like this.
