Buy a home in the Triangle

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make, and you deserve a team that treats it that way. Our REALTORS® guide buyers through every step in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Wake Forest, Chapel Hill and the surrounding Triangle, with honest advice on value, condition and potential so you can make your offer with confidence.

How we help buyers

Your next home, found with care

First home, next home or forever home, you’ll have a team that brings three strengths to your search: investor knowledge, design expertise and skilled negotiation. We look at every property the way an investor would: what it’s worth, what condition it’s in and what it could become.

  1. 01
    Understanding what you want

    We start with how you want to live: your commute, the space you need, the style you love and the neighborhoods that draw you. Then we shape your search around it.

  2. 02
    A closer look at every home

    On every tour we help you weigh value, condition and potential against recent nearby sales. Cristina also brings a designer’s eye, helping you picture what a home could become and which updates would be worth making.

  3. 03
    Beyond the listings

    When the right home isn’t on the market, we don’t just wait. We reach out to owners in the neighborhoods you love to uncover opportunities other buyers may never see.

  4. 04
    A strong offer, firmly negotiated

    We read the market and shape an offer that competes on both price and terms. Then we negotiate firmly on your behalf, from the first offer through the due diligence period, to protect your interests.

  5. 05
    Due diligence to closing

    We guide you through North Carolina’s due diligence period, inspections and the appraisal, and stay with you all the way to closing day and the keys.

A written buyer agreement with your agent is required before touring homes together. We review its terms with you, including compensation, before you sign. Commissions are negotiable and are not set by law.

In our clients’ words

“OMG!! If I had to sum up my experience with William and his team in one word, it would be “phenomenal”. That was my experience with this AWESOME TEAM!! I’m a first-time homeowner, and as SCARY a process as it is, William and his team eased our concerns Patient, kind and willing to go and DID go above and beyond to explain everything about homeownership and the entire process!!! We would HIGHLY recommend The Phayes Group!”

Questions

Buyer questions

Do I need a buyer agreement?
Yes. A written agreement with your agent is required before touring homes together. We walk through it with you first, including how compensation works. Commissions are negotiable and are not set by law.
Do you work with first-time buyers?
Absolutely. We explain every step, from pre-approval and the offer to inspections, due diligence and closing, and we’re always available to answer questions along the way. First home or fifth, you’ll get the same care.
Can you help if I want a home to renovate?
Yes. We’ll help you weigh the price against the work it needs and what similar homes nearby have sold for, and Cristina can share design advice on what’s worth updating. Estimates are not appraisals; please consult your own advisors and contractors.
What about new construction?
We represent buyers in new construction across the Triangle. Our sister company, Phayes Building Co., also builds designer-curated new homes. Phayes Building Co. is owned by William Phayes Patrick II and Cristina Galavis, brokers with The Phayes Group. It is a separate company, not affiliated with eXp Realty. eXp Realty does not provide construction or development services.
Which areas do you cover?
Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Wake Forest, Chapel Hill and the surrounding Triangle region of North Carolina.
