Investment sales in the Triangle.
Investors are a big part of our business. We take an investment-first approach. Helping clients not just find deals but evaluate them, structure them correctly, and build a long-term strategy. That means honest numbers, honest advice, and walking away from deals that don't pencil rather than pushing a transaction for the commission.
Commercial buildings
Office, retail, and mixed-use buildings across Chapel Hill, Durham, Hillsborough, Pittsboro, and northern Wake County. We represent both buyers and sellers and know the pricing, the submarkets, and the buyers active in each corridor.
Land
Raw land, entitled parcels, and development sites. We help landowners maximize value and connect buyers with the right opportunity. Commercial pad sites, mixed-use infill, and larger development tracts. The Shelton Station land acquisition in Carrboro is one example of the scale we handle.
NNN / Net-lease
Single-tenant net-lease deals are a meaningful part of the investment market and we handle them selectively. If you're buying or selling a NNN property in the Triangle, we can evaluate the deal, underwrite the tenancy, and navigate the transaction.
Our process
Market analysis
We start with your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and timeline. From there we analyze submarket trends, comparable sales, cap rates, and rental growth projections to frame realistic expectations and identify target opportunities.
Property identification
We canvas on- and off-market inventory through our broker network, direct outreach to owners, and proprietary databases. For sellers, we develop a marketing strategy and target buyer profile to position the asset for competitive interest.
Due diligence and negotiation
We build detailed financial models, coordinate inspections and environmental reviews, and negotiate purchase terms that protect your interests. For 1031 exchanges, we manage identification deadlines and coordinate with your qualified intermediary.
Closing and transition
We coordinate with attorneys, lenders, title companies, and property managers to run a clean closing and a smooth transition of ownership. After closing, we stay available for asset management introductions and future disposition planning.
Our investor practice is built on repeat business. Clients who come back for their second, third, and fourth deal because we run the numbers honestly and don't chase bad transactions.

Chapel Hill
TRES's home market. UNC and UNC Health drive demand for Franklin Street retail and medical office, while residential ranges from condos near campus to estate homes in Governor's Club. Chapel Hill–Carrboro City Schools rank among the top three districts in North Carolina.
Explore
Carrboro
Carrboro is a walkable, bike-friendly town on the bus line, anchored by Weaver Street Market, a long-standing food co-op. Families enjoy main-street charm alongside restaurants and eateries that draw neighbors out nightly.
Explore
Durham
Anchored by Research Triangle Park, Durham is a blossoming city with high-end dining, DPAC, and the Durham Bulls. Mixed-use growth continues across office, tech, medical, and new residential communities.
Explore
Hillsborough
Hillsborough is the Orange County seat with a historic downtown worth lingering in. It feels like a retreat outside the major hubs while staying close enough to commute into Chapel Hill or Durham. Residential parcels tend to be larger than closer-in Triangle pockets.
Explore
Pittsboro
Pittsboro has grown from a small town into a larger community with new housing developments, fine homes, and emerging mixed-use and retail. It works well as a bedroom community for Raleigh, Cary, and Apex while keeping Chapel Hill and Jordan Lake within easy reach.
