About us

About Local Knowledge, Global Perspective. As an MBA with real estate development and construction experience, I provide my clients with insight and services well beyond those offered by the traditional real estate agent. In addition to guiding buyers and sellers through their transactions, I can advise clients on overall marketplace trends, costs and complexities of renovations, and other economic factors associated with their decisions. Traveling around the country and even as far as China studying real estate development and sustainability, enables me to bring that global perspective to Durham. After spending years working to create compact, walkable, sustainable neighborhoods around the state and across the country, I made the decision to focus on Durham, Chapel Hill and surrounding areas. I enjoy working with people, and saw a true market need for an experienced and professional real estate advisor in the very robust Durham market. The change also suited my desire to travel less and spend more time at home with my wife and growing family. He considers Durham home and has detailed local knowledge acquired nearly a decade living, working & studying in the area. I enjoy working with a wide range of clients, from first time home buyers to experienced investors and everyone in between. Every client has a specific set of needs, and the satisfaction I get from meeting those challenges helps keep me fresh and engaged in what can be a very tough industry. Insight and Experience Working Hard for You. I began my real estate career much earlier than most. I was at first a toddler visitor, but later a teenage carpenter on the job sites of the dozens of homes built by my father, a custom builder in the New England mountains. My mom was also in the business, as a real estate agent in Maine’s Belgrade Lakes region. As such, talk around the dinner table often turned to real estate related issues. In particular, how hard my parents worked to meet their customers’ needs was a frequent topic of conversation. Thus, the excellent and responsive client service I offer can be traced back to those suppertime talks back in Maine. My analytical skills are important in helping ensure that my clients have the insights needed to make wise investments. In addition to being a broker, I also maintain a series of ongoing real estate investments. In my opinion, any serious broker who has the skills to help his clients make good decisions should also be a successful real estate investor. However, it’s equally important that I understand and fully appreciate the personal side of home buying and can help lighten the load by providing support and perspective during what can be complex process. I always enjoy talking about Durham, especially to prospective clients. I’d look forward to hearing from you and to answering your questions about the Durham real estate market.

We used Adam on a recommendation from a close friend. We were moving from out-of-state and I was 8 weeks post-partum. We had exactly 4 days to find a house. Adam talked us through potential neighborhoods, school districts, and our and quot;must haves/don't wantsand quot; in the weeks before we arrived. We had planned 2 days of house hunting but it became clear after the first day (15 homes) that we would need more time. Adam was extremely helpful throughout the process. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about real estate in the Durham/Chapel Hill area but he was able to offer advice and feedback about local laws (i.e. could we add a deck), things to avoid (e.g. some faulty piping that is common in some homes), and also possible construction feasibility (he has background in general contracting). His feedback was helpful and not pushy, it was very informative and appropriate. We ended up doing 4 days of house hunting with Adam on basically no notice. He cleared his schedule as best he could for the next few days and showed us house after house as we narrowed down our needs. We ended up selecting a house basically on the way to the airport on our last morning. He then spent the next few days negotiating for us. The sellers had some stuff they wanted (certain appliances, etc.) and he advised us how to work around those things in terms of making a fair offer. On the day of closing, we met Adam for a walk-through. It became apparent that the previous owners had accidentally taken the mirrors in the bathrooms. Within 10 seconds, Adam was on the phone rectifying the situation and they brought the mirrors to the closing. Adam was so helpful from start to finish and we will definitely recommend him to friends and will use him again!

We had a great experience with Adam and highly recommend him to home buyers and sellers. He knows a lot about the region's neighborhoods, builders, market conditions, and so forth, so was a particularly helpful resource to us as out-of-state buyers. He was patient and professional throughout (as we changed our focus several times during the search). He was a good advocate for us throughout the process, but also gave us objective, helpful information based on the market and his experience, to keep our expectations realistic. Months after the transaction closed, he continues to check to see if we need anything. It helps me when I read reviews to have comparisons. My wife and I have together worked with more than ten residential real estate agents over the past 15 years. We would recommend only two of them. One lives in California, and Adam is the other. We highly recommend Adam to Triangle home buyers and sellers.
Description of Work: My wife and I moved to this area from out of state. We were unfamiliar with local neighborhoods. Adam helped us decide on parameters for our housing search, identifying appropriate neighborhoods in three counties here (as we requested). He provided us with detailed and comprehensive listings and helpful suggestions for narrowing our search. He patiently took us to view as many houses as we wanted, and he gave constructive and objective comments for them all. He guided us through the transaction and continues to remain in touch with us, many months after the closing.
