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.

Smack dab in the heart of downtown Durham, this thoughtfully designed 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo at Church + Main offers a quieter, more intimate alternative to larger condo communities. With just eight total units in the building - six of which must be owner-occupied - the atmosphere strikes a nice balance between urban living and a more private residential feel. Large picture windows, 10' ceilings, and hardwood floors give the home an open, airy feel, while the office nook with fireplace provides a comfortable, cozy spot to work or relax with a book. The kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless appliances and plenty of cabinet space, though with some of Durham's best restaurants literally outside your door, you may not cook as often as you planned. A sweet balcony overlooking Main Street offers an easy connection to the energy of downtown while still feeling surprisingly peaceful. The primary suite includes an enormous walk-in closet with extensive custom built-in cabinetry and storage. One secure garage parking space and access to the shared rooftop terrace complete the package. HOA dues include water/sewer plus bi-annual HVAC maintenance for extra easy, low-maintenance downtown living.
