New to the Triangle? Start here.

I relocated here myself in 2012 - I've lived the school research at midnight and the neighborhood drive-bys. You get the honest version of every town, video tours when you need them, and one trip that counts.

HOW RELOCATION WORKS

Move once, not twice

No. 01
The honest version of every town
Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Holly Springs - what each is actually like on a Tuesday night, not the brochure version.
No. 02
Video tours that tell the truth
“You will hate this backyard” honesty, street noise included. Clients have bought sight unseen with total confidence.
No. 03
One trip that counts
By the time you fly in, we've narrowed to the finalists. Two days, the right houses, decisions you won't second-guess.
No. 04
Landing softly
Lenders, schools, commute tests, contractors - I stay your Raleigh person long after the boxes are unpacked.

Emily Murphy was our agent and she was absolutely wonderful! She was knowledgeable and responsive. Most importantly, she was caring and kind. She made looking for a home while being out of state a seamless process. She was truthful and transparent about areas, homes, and prices. After a relatively short time, we were able to close on a beautiful home in the exact area we wanted! We love our new home and are so grateful for Emily and the entire Property Specific Team.

It was such a pleasure working with Emily Murphy and Jessica Gomez - through Property Specific. As a team they were always punctual, helpful, responsive and patient. They took great care of us and walked us through every step of the process. Jessica even goes into crawl spaces! Since we were relocating from another state, we started the process of looking for houses about a year before we were ready to buy. This allowed Emily and Jessica to understand our likes and dislikes. Once we came to North Carolina, the houses we toured were for the most part on target with our style. We trust this team and recommend them for your home search - if we could give a rating of more than five stars, we would!

Thanks Emily for being with us throughout our home buying journey process. I highly recommend, as we got the best realtor any buyer should have. You answered every call and text message on time. Working with you we had a great experience. Thank you so much.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Relocation questions, answered

Q.
Can we really do this without flying out?

Yes - clients have bought sight unseen on my video walkthroughs. The tours are brutally honest (street noise, backyard slopes, the neighbor's boat) precisely so you can.

Q.
How fast do homes actually move?

Well-priced homes in the popular towns go under contract in days, often the first weekend. That's why we set the search and financing up before you're emotionally in it.

Q.
What about schools?

Wake County assignments are address-specific and change - never buy off a listing's school line. I verify current assignments and the reassignment risk before you offer.

Q.
When's the best time to move?

Summer moves suit school calendars but face the most competition; late fall and winter trade selection for negotiating room. Your timeline matters more than the season.
