Buying or selling a home is super stressful. And if you’re moving to a new neighborhood? Even more nerve-wracking.
If you feel neglected and alone using online property robots, or you’re struggling to find what you want with home search applications, what should be a fun experience soon ends up horrifying. Not what a home search should be, at all.
We’re local real estate agents who know the area and are here to find you not just a home but the home.
We don’t care if you’re buying or selling a studio apartment or a 10-bedroom mansion, you’re important to us. Your happiness is important to us. Your profit is important to us. We want you to love where you live and find a house (and neighborhood) that immediately feel like home – because it’s just so perfect. And we don’t stop until we’ve found it.
You want to find somewhere that fits your lifestyle, family dynamics, and overall “vibe”, but how can you know if you’re not from the area? Luckily, we are (yay!). Our REALTORS® have lived here for decades, so no, we’re not pulling recommendations out of nowhere. We know where you’ll fit in, we know the market, we know the area- it’s our local instinct.
We know the importance of walking into a home and it just feels right. Our local REALTORS® help you chase that feeling and make an informed buying decision once you’ve found it!
Our experienced REALTORS® guide you through the selling process helping you avoid costly mistakes we see all too often to ensure your home sale is a resounding success.
Hear from our many clients spread across Triangle, from Chapel Hill, to Durham and Carrboro – could you be next?
James Blackburn is our realtor and the only appropriate qualifier for our experience is him is absolutely outstanding!! James has been incredibly patient with us in our quest for the perfect house for us, he's made every effort to find one that met all our (numerous) needs and wants, and he ultimately did find us our new home!! James was always incredibly available and helpful, willing to jump on an opportunity with us at a moment's notice. He walked us through the process of buying our very first home and made the whole thing far less intimidating that it truly is. We definitely intend to keep working with James again when the time comes for us to look for home #2, and we have both already very highly recommended him to many of our colleagues. He is fantastic!!! i & j
I've known Jeff Rupkalvis for 15 years; first as my buying agent for a new Chapel Hill home, then as a neighbor because that home was across the creek from his, as a friend, and finally as a selling agent when I sold that house 15 years later. He's honest, available, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable of the market and the local area. Dwell is a solid organization, and highly recommended.
My wife and I worked with Jeff and his team for a number of years all over the Triangle. They were always professional and handled our business with the upmost respect. Do not hesitate to work with Dwell.
The best real estate/realtor experience I could have imagined, setting a high bar for real estate agents. Jeff may sell real estate but, more importantly, he is a genuine 'people' person. He listened and helped me process and prepare for the often times grueling task of selling one's home. Nothing fell through the cracks, even though cracks showed up. Jeff was always there, one step ahead, anticipating the next decision to be made, and offering sage and friendly counsel (he has clearly been doing this for decades). I highly recommend his services.
Jeff Rupkalvis of Dwell Real Estate is an excellent realtor. He supported our long distance search in Chapel Hill intently, with the uttermost care and the provision of helpful resources. His follow-up and patience is above all others we have experienced in NC, Tennessee and TX... and this means a lot as experienced homebuyers. His ability to listen and effectively represent us as buyers facilitated the search and offer process giving us confidence each step of the way. Many thanks.
We sold our house recently and listed it with James. He is by far the best real estate agent I have worked with. His attention to detail in getting your house ready to sell is second to none. I highly recommend working with James and Dwell.
We had a great selling experience working with Colleen Jelley. She was super-positive, thorough, and professional. She kept us quickly apprised about developments with the sale, and made the selling process less stressful. Colleen was honest and straightforward. Would 100% work with her and Dwell again.
I've both bought and sold houses with James Blackburn. Each time, we've sold high and bought low. Every experience has been a pleasure because he knows his craft. I recommend him whole heartedly!
At Dwell, our goal is to take away the stress of buying or selling your home – so you can just focus on the excitement (and perfecting those Pinterest boards!)
Our local REALTORS® will patiently guide you through the process at your pace, going above and beyond to make you feel supported and prioritized, no matter what’s in your bank account.
We’ll even check-in after you move to see how you’re settling in, hook you up with our favorite local professionals, and just generally give you that warm welcome you deserve.
In other words: we’ve got you.
