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.

Welcome home to this airy, well-appointed 2-story townhome in the popular Copley Farm community of Durham. This well maintained home is completely move-in ready and stands out from the pack with thoughtful upgrades throughout. Sunlight floods the main level, centering around a modern chef's kitchen complete with quartz countertops, a large central island, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a walk-in pantry. Upgraded finishes run throughout the interior, including a mix of luxury vinyl plank, tile, and carpet, custom blinds, smooth ceilings, upgraded light fixtures, and stylish indoor and outdoor ceiling fans. Upstairs, a dedicated laundry room sits near the primary suite, which showcases high tray ceilings, a walk-in closet, a double vanity, and a custom-tiled walk-in shower. The garage has been upgraded with functional storage built-ins and an epoxy floor. Multiple closets have built-in upgrades as well. The home features functional upgrades, including a radon mitigation system and a reverse osmosis water filtration system. Its standout feature is a fully paid-off, high-efficiency solar panel system installed by NC Solar Now in 2021. Because the solar array regularly overproduces power and feeds it back into the local grid, it offsets the home's energy consumption to the point where monthly electric bills are often the bare minimum. Outside you can relax on either the private screen porch or the beautiful stamped concrete rear patio. This home is so well appointed you could have your movers here in the morning and you could be relaxing at the nearby community pool in the afternoon. Copley Farm offers a highly central Triangle location just 8 miles from downtown Durham, 9 miles from the heart of Research Triangle Park (RTP), and 12 miles from Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). It provides seamless highway connectivity, keeping neighboring cities within easy reach: downtown Cary is roughly 18 miles away, downtown Raleigh is about 23 miles away, and Chapel Hill sits just under 20 miles to the west. The property provides full access to community amenities which include a swimming pool, dog park, playground, and walking trails.
