Buying or selling a home, or land, is a life-changing event. And like most life-changing events, it’s best to go through it with someone who can support and guide you through the ups and downs. Hopefully they can even help you have fun in the process.
For that reason, we recommend finding a realtor that is not just best suited to your real estate needs, but to your worldview too. So here’s a little bit about who we are and what we believe – click through for more detailed profiles:
Louise Barnum
Partner, GRI, ABR, CRS
Has called Chatham County home since 1972
Belief:
“I believe in using clotheslines, turning your lawn into pollinator gardens, and not keeping up with any Jones'. I believe people step into our lives for a reason; so we teach and learn from one another. I believe in miracles and in manifesting your dreams.”
Background:
Originally from Kinston, NC and a graduate of UNC, Louise became a partner here in 1987.

Don Basnight
Broker
Orange Co. resident since before he was born.
Belief:
“It’s so nice working for a company where there is no corporate line that says I can’t oppose a development that I feel is wrong. In fact, we have been very explicit about the kind of development that we feel is good for the community – we’ve even turned down deals that don’t fit the bill.”
Background:
To say that Don is a native of Chapel Hill is somewhat of an understatement. In fact, on his mother’s side his family goes back 6 or 7 generations – right back to the original land grants.

Belief:
“Our role is not just to help folks buy or sell houses. It’s also about providing an objective, honest opinion. Sometimes that means telling a client what they don’t want to hear. ”
Background:
Originally from Richmond, Clayton settled in the Triangle after a stint in Portland. It is the artistic, free thinking nature of this area that make him feel at home.
