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.

Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac gated on more than three private acres, this custom Loyd Builders estate is the kind of home that rarely comes to market in Chapel Hill and almost never inside the coveted Chapel Hill school district. Completed in 2022 and impeccably maintained, it lives like a five-star resort while still feeling warm, welcoming, and effortless for everyday life. Mornings begin with coffee beneath a jasmine-draped pergola; afternoons drift toward the infinity-edge pool and waterfall spa; evenings gather around the fire pit, rocking chairs and all. A covered outdoor living room, see-through fireplace, television, phantom screens, and a resort-caliber outdoor kitchen make entertaining feel seamless in every season. Beyond, there's room for everything: a sport court for basketball or pickleball, a full batting cage, and raised garden beds. Inside, the craftsmanship shows everywhere. A dramatic glass wine cellar anchors the main level, and a signature bar with a whiskey-barrel wall sets the tone for game nights. The kitchen opens to a full scullery, and an elevator connects every floor with ease. The light-filled walk-out lower level offers a movie theater, a fitness room that opens straight to the lawn, and a private guest suite, while the upstairs primary is a true retreat with a spa bath and expansive custom closet. Whole-house generator, automatic shades, gated entry. A home built and lived in like a private luxury getaway. This one has to be experienced in person.
