Can I buy a home in North Carolina without visiting first?

Yes — many David's relocation clients close having only visited once, or occasionally not at all. Live video tours, drone footage, and remote online notarization make it fully possible.

What's the best area of the Triangle for tech workers?

Cary, Morrisville, Apex and West Raleigh sit closest to RTP with strong schools. Durham (Southpoint / Hope Valley) is preferred by Duke, Cisco and IBM commuters.

In 2026: about 2,600–3,200 sqft new construction in Wake Forest, Holly Springs, or east Apex; a 3-bed established home in Cary or North Raleigh; or a fully renovated bungalow in Durham.
