My partner and I worked with Blair Nell (with some occasional help from Clayton Nell) on finding our new home in a beautiful wooded area of Pittsboro. We had a lot of hard requirements on the property we wanted and Blair found us a lovely home that met all of them. This was our first time purchasing a home so we were a bit naive about the process and how to proceed. Blair was on top of everything throughout the process; she was pretty much available 24 hrs/7 days, even on a holiday (though she says she would like to create a couple of evening hours that are reliably work-free for her family, which she and they certainly deserve) to make sure we got OUR offer accepted on a sweet house in a competitive market. She arranged and attended all the inspections so we didn’t have to miss much work, kept us up-to-speed on every part of the process (including bank-related issues that weren’t even her responsibility) and went to bat for us when we wanted the sellers to repair multiple issues and when some of the HVAC reports seemed questionable. From the start of the process to weeks after the purchase, she was in touch with us to ensure we were happy and that all i’s were dotted and t’s were crossed. It was a total pleasure working with Blair and I will certainly recommend her to friends and colleagues in the future.

Clayton helped us buy our first home, sell our first home 4 years later, then buy our current home, so we really know him very well! As a seller, he helped motivate us to stage and sell our first home within 36 hours with 2 toddlers, a dog, and a cat. We made a profit in a neighborhood where that was not the norm, and it was his and Blair’s touches that made a huge difference. As a buyer, we felt like we had the upper hand at all times due to Clayton’s experience with the market including his history as an appraiser. In these times you need someone willing to step to the plate with integrity and Clayton was that person. We can’t recommend this team enough…!

We were first-time home buyers who were reluctantly hitting the real estate market after getting booted out of our rental in Durham. Even before we “committed,” Blair spoke with us for almost an hour on the process and procedure of how to even go about buying a house, and made me feel like it was not only possible, but totally fun. We had busy schedules, but she made everything happen, from viewings to inspections, to negotiations, to the closing. She was knowledgeable, gently drawing our attention to “red flags” that we might otherwise miss. She was responsive, and never once dropped the ball on communication with us or our seller. She expertly soothed a few anxious calls, and was there to celebrate when we closed. Her approach is personable, professional and totally tuned in to her client’s needs. Would highly recommend.

Clayton’s depth of knowledge and experience were invaluable to us as first time home buyers! He always had the patience to explain the process as well as answer our many little questions along the way. He has great contacts in the industry which made the experience very seamless. Another wonderful part about working with Clayton was getting to work also with his wife, Blair. When you are buying a home in Carrboro you need to move quickly. We always were able to see places right away working with a couple team. Since buying a home we have gone back to Clayton for service provider recommendations and have never been disappointed–his recommendations are always underpinned with quality. When we go to sell our home long into the future we know we will be knocking on Boro Realty’s door.

Blair was exactly what I needed in an agent from very first hello to closing! Moving from Asheville to the Chapel Hill area isn’t the greatest of distances but it was enough that having someone local to trust would be essential. While selling my house in Asheville I had some negative experiences with agents that felt like pushy sales so it was very important to me during my search that I find someone genuine to trust. I scoured agent bios and read SO many over several days before selecting Blair. Right away she was great at just upfront communication and understood what I was seeking. I will be highly recommending her in my new town whenever I can work it into any conversation.

We used Blair to help us buy our first home in South Durham, and we could not have asked for a better realtor! She started out by educating us on the home buying process, helping us understand what to expect both financially and from a process perspective, and was patient until we were actually ready to start looking. When we did start to look, we felt she truly understood what we were looking for, and when we needed guidance, she did not hesitate to offer it, which we really appreciated. We ended up in the absolute perfect home for us, and Blair was the reason our offer won in a competitive situation. I would have been crushed if we hadn't gotten this house and am SO grateful we had Blair to help us get it! She is amazing to work with and we will continue to recommend her to anyone who needs a realtor! So glad we found her!

Blair was great! We never would have even found our current house if she didn’t stay on top of the listings and suggest it to us before we saw it show up online. Her knowledge of the area (we saw a lot of houses together) made all the difference. And we were even able to get the house for under asking price in a spring market where the majority of prices were inflated. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor!

So many business owners get it wrong. So many realtors under perform, underwhelm, and when they show up they care more about their commission than your needs. I had the absolute best realtor experience of my life this year (And I have worked with over 12 in the last 8 years). Thank you, thank you, thank you Clayton Nell and Boro Realty! If you are in Durham, Raleigh or Chapel Hill please reach out for me to make a connection. Every “dream realtor” box was checked.

This is the second time that my wife and I have worked with the Boro Realty team, and what a great experience it was! Clayton is extremely knowledgeable about everything you could possibly want to know about buying, selling and/or owning a home. From giving his honest opinion about potential surprises waiting in a potential house, to getting dirty and examining the crawl space of every house, Clayton really went the extra mile during our home search! Due to Clayton's enthusiasm for and thorough knowledge of the home buying and selling process we fully trusted Clayton to handle selling our previous home, and our trust was rewarded, we got top-dollar for our house, beating out recent comps in our neighborhood. I would absolutely recommend Clayton and the team at Boro Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Blair was a terrific agent for us as we were selling our condo in Chapel Hill. She guided us through the process from listing to final sale and we were impressed with her knowledge of the market, experience in the entire process, and appreciated her general positive/kind demeanor. We were selling our condo while living in a different state and Blair went above and beyond our expectations by helping us find and set up appointments with local contractors – she even met them at our condo and provided us immediate feedback/guidance. She was always responsive/available to us and we would highly recommend her!

I have really enjoyed working with Blair. She helped my partner by some land about a year ago, and I called her up when I was ready to buy my own home. The market is competitive this season – and though several of my (above asking price) offers were not accepted – Blair was steadfast in letting me know when homes that fit my interests came to the market. Finally, the perfect home for me came on the market in a neighborhood I had been mentioning since I started my search. She showed the house to me the first day it was listed, and my offer was accepted within two days. The seller wanted a fast closing. We closed in under 1 month. Blair was able to help me pull it together that quickly because of the great working relationships she has with her colleagues (I went with her recommendations on lawyer, lender, inspector, etc. they were all superb). Needless to say, I’ll be recommending Blair to my friends and family.

Whether you are choosing an agent to buy or sell your home, it’s not an understatement that the next chapter of your life is in the hands of the individuals you choose to navigate this transaction. I can think of no two people more capable–or kind–than Clayton & Blair. They are a tireless team who devote 110% to following through with their commitment to serve with integrity and honesty, and they have an uncommon belief in never settling for anything less than the best.

We recently listed our condo for sale through Bill Mullen at Boro Realty. It was a great experience from start to finish. Real Estate transactions have become increasingly more complex, so having an experienced professional like Bill was key. He was extremely helpful with the prep and staging for the listing. Boro Realty sent out professionals to take measurements, draw a layout of the condo, and take great photos that really captured the feel of our place. We were pleased that we got an offer in a matter of hours. During the process Bill made sure the lines of communication were open and everything was taken care of in a timely manner. He stayed on top of the process and made sure everything stayed on track to avoid any of the details that can sometimes cause problems and delays. It was a pleasure working with Bill and Boro Realty.

My husband and I just bought a home in Carrboro and Blair was our buyer's agent. While I monitored the typical real estate listing websites, Blair often knew of available homes days ahead of time due to her deep knowledge of the market. We moved here from out of state and trying to find a home while learning the community is never easy. Blair had great advice at every step of the way and knew what would work for us. She is attentive, kind and persistent — all qualities you really need in a real estate agent.

Blair is the absolute best- she is a fantastic realtor and great person in general. She is so hard working, incredibly responsive and communicative. She leaves no stone unturned through the home buying process and is a great advocate to have in your court. Blair is incredibly knowledgeable of the market AND a bonus is that her husband is also a realtor, and together they are a great team. You will not be disappointed by hiring Blair as your realtor. She helped me to find the perfect home, navigate starting a business on the property, and was incredibly supportive through a difficult personal situation. In short, she’s incredible!

We were very happy with the quality of service we got from Blair! She searched with us high and low for 6 months in a crazy market til we found a home that suits us quite well. Blair is highly experienced and well networked. Our small guest house has a septic tank that the owners didn’t know about, and Blair was the one to discover it. She was pulling up old property maps and talking to her friends with the city— she truly went above and beyond. This find got us instant equity in our home and saved us from some headaches down the road.

Clayton was our realtor when we bought our first home in 2013 and he was wonderful. Helped walk us through the process, understood our unique property needs and was accessible, smart, prepared and experienced. We recommend him highly!

The whole process of buying a home has been so low-stress, working with Blair. Impressed with her social work background and disarming, kind and competent demeanor, she was just our style. Proactive and knowledgeable, Blair alerted us to aspects of each house; the importance of chimney height, what certain cracks suggested about the foundation, how traffic might impact noise and ease of resale. She quickly picked up on exactly what our needs and tastes were, and guided us to just the right house! When it came down to negotiations, Blair researched comps in the area, and guided us to come up with a workable deal, to everyone’s satisfaction. She has great connections in the community and referred us to excellent folks for inspection and repairs. As gentle and friendly as she is, Blair gets the job done-a mattress was still on the street after sellers had left the home. Blair’s right-on emails to all the right people solved that problem right away!! Get Blair on your team. She’s the one!

I can’t recommend Clayton enough. When we attended open houses together he was always focused on us. I remember seeing other agents taking phone calls, but not Clayton. That felt good. When we toured a home together he led the way, pointing out critical structural issues and scoping out every inch of the place. If there was a crawl space, he crawled it. Clayton always made us feel like we could linger as long as we needed to. We never felt rushed. In the end he showed us a house that we couldn’t have found on our own, in a neighborhood we never knew existed. Now we have a home we love with a neighborhood full of kids just like we wanted. Years later, Clayton still answers questions we have about the house and is a great source for recommendations for anything that comes up.

It’s hard to put into one review just how excellent a realtor Blair was for us. As first-time homebuyers in a very competitive market, we had a real roller coaster of a path to closing, but Blair was there to guide us through everything that came up. She was always on top of things, there to answer our questions seemingly 24/7, and relentless in finding somewhere that suited our needs. Even in a hectic market, she was able to secure us a beautiful home. There’s exactly one place that we would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell, and that’s Boro Realty!

Blair has helped me to buy two different houses in Carrboro and was fantastic to work with on both occasions. I had lackluster experiences with two different local agents before her so was feeling pretty jaded when we started working together. Blair was a breath of fresh air – she actually listens to what your home needs are and makes thoughtful and appropriate recommendations based on those. She is also honest and straight forward and lets you know when you are being unrealistic vs. when the seller is. And to boot, Blair is energetic, friendly, and responsive!

Let's face it. Selling a home is never a joy ride. The folks at Boro Realty handled our sale with as much knowledge, experience, and patience as one could hope for. We would use them again.

Very conscientious and knowledgeable realtors. As low-stress a process as I could hope for.

Absolute Best Team - It is still unbelievable to us that we completed our goal to sell quickly and gained so much more. We never thought this process would be easy and now looking back we are overwhelmed with gratitude in how much Blair and Clayton helped to simplify the process and achieve the sale itself. From the planning, to the timing, to the staging and the marketing, we had a collaborative plan that put us in the best possible position to sell. You both were so thoughtful and strategic in working with us. You were conscientious and kind. You went above and beyond in so many ways (helping with furniture sales and paperwork) and we cannot thank you enough. Your professionalism and yet personable approach remains unmatched with any of our past realtors. You brought heart and smarts. We could not have accomplished this without you and we are forever grateful for your understanding and concern around our situation.

Boro Realty helped us to find our first home! Blair understood our needs as first time home buyers, and took the time to talk to us whenever about whatever. Her patience, communication, and honesty showed us that we could trust her knowledge of the area and the market. From the first informal meeting to closing day, we felt confident that we were in good hands! We are so thankful.

Boro Reality helped us navigate the process of home buying with confidence and ease. My husband and I were lucky enough to cross paths with Blair Nell when she was closing a sale next to my mother's house. We knew instantly that this was who we wanted to work with! Blair worked tirelessly for us through our lengthy search. We did not have a huge amount to spend and wanted so badly to find a home with character where we could stay for decades. With Blair as our realtor we always felt that our needs and aspirations were understood, valued, and honored. She counseled us with the deep knowledge and expertise of a true professional but also with the kindness and compassion of an old friend. She fought for us, she explained everything thoroughly, she never missed a beat. Thanks to her and Boro Realty we are now in our DREAM HOME! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!

This market is rough and Blair, Clayton, and the folks at Boro Realty know how to support their people to find the right fit. I’ve bought two houses with Clayton over 12 years and have recommended them to many - all super happy about their experience. They are client focused and knowledgeable about the market and house construction. They've spent time walking through many houses with me and given thoughtful feedback on the tradeoffs of different properties, with my specific needs and interests in mind. They even went through a differential with a friend and helped them decide on what was best, which ended up to wait on buying a house. Can’t recommend them enough. Will keep recommending them over and over!

Words to describe the real estate service Blair Nell and her real estate partner and husband, Clayton Nell from Boro Realty provided? Integrity, wisdom, and tireless pursuit of best possible outcomes. We are so very happy we chose Blair to both buy and sell homes this spring! Throughout the six-month period we worked with her, she consistently provided timely clear communication – especially when time was of the essence such as before and during contract negotiations. She’s an agent who is super reliable and has excellent negotiation skills. On both our contracts, buying and selling, I was relieved to discover she has great expertise and I could relax and rely on her. She thought of items to include on the contract resulting in us getting more money at closing. She’s super organized and detail oriented. This was especially helpful when she clearly explained buyer and seller rights during the due diligence process and kept us on track to meet contract deadlines. As buyers, she listened to our needs and was patient. She never pushed us. As sellers, the marketing strategies and pricing advice were excellent and as a result we sold our home quickly. She vastly exceeded our expectations. Thank you so very much Blair and Clayton!

We recently worked with Clayton at Boro Realty in purchasing our first home, and he made the process incredibly easy. When we first met with Clayton he talked us through the entire process and answered all our questions. He was very straightforward and honest in making sure we had realistic expectations before beginning our search in earnest. While visiting homes, he had incredible knowledge of the area and of home construction- he was never afraid to climb in the attic or under a crawl space to check it out. Clayton was always prompt in his responses and on the ball when it came to new listings he thought we’d be interested in. The whole process was much easier than we anticipated, and that was entirely due to Clayton- plus he’s just a lot of fun to be around! We ended up in a wonderful house that we’re excited to call home!!

Clayton helped us buy our first home and then when our home business needed more space 7 years later, helped us purchase our dream farm. I recommend Boro Reality to everyone I know. They really know and understand the area and go the extra mile to help you find the right place for your specific needs and then navigate all the things you gotta do to actually close the purchase.

Blair Nell of Boro Realty was a real joy to work with. She came heartily recommended to me by my daughter, who she assisted in the sale of their home in Chapel Hill and the immediate purchase of another one, no small feat with my daughter’s boisterous three young children and constantly changing schedules. Blair went overboard seeking solutions to all obstacles thrown in our path during the purchase of our new home. She kept cool and calm, returned our phone calls and texts quickly, and never let us down. Blair’s the first person I’d call if we ever decided to buy another home.

We are so happy we found Amy! As transplants to the area, Amy gave us the guidance we needed to feel comfortable buying our new home in an unfamiliar place. When we met her, we knew we could trust her. Even though our home-buying journey went by quicker than we anticipated, she took the time to get to know us. She was extremely attentive and kept our best interests in mind throughout our time together. She kept everything on track and organized making the process as smooth as possible. It was such a joy to work with Amy. We are so grateful to have had such a warm welcome to the area and are excited to enjoy our new home. Thank you so much, Amy!

Working with Bill Mullen to find us a one-level home in a popular Chatham County neighborhood was a surprisingly stress-free experience! Bill was very knowledgeable of the market and the area we were targeting, finding us an ideal home within our budget that met all our needs. He stayed focused on our preferred neighborhood but also showed us properties in similar neighborhoods for comparison to help us make sure of our choice. We were impressed that he noticed some needed repairs and contacted the HOA to begin fixes as soon as our offer was accepted. Bill was also able to advise us on minor architectural/remodeling changes that would make the floor plan and livability of the home work even better for us. Through every step of the process, Bill was always available for us with the right answers to move things along. He was consistently good humored, reliable and on time. We highly recommend Bill Mullen without reservation!

We recently purchased a home in Chapel Hill and Clayton from Boro Realty served as our knowledgeable Sherpa throughout the entire process. He carefully listened to what we were looking for, selected homes that fit our criteria, and patiently adapted his search as our vision changed along the way. We were often visiting homes the day they were posted which shows both his commitment to getting us into the right house and also his ability to be flexible. Once we were under contract, he demonstrated his deep knowledge of the home buying process. Given that we were buying an older home, he made sure we had all of the necessary people provide assessments and estimates of replacing items or having repairs done. He negotiated on our behalf as if he were buying the home for himself or a close family member or friend. We wholeheartedly recommend Clayton to anyone looking to buy a home in Chapel Hill.

Buying a home, especially your first, is not easy and comes with a lot of fear, frustration and could be an emotional turbulence. However, if you have an agent like Blair on your side than you have lucked out. She is thorough beyond imagination, knowledgeable, creative (yes, that’s important too), hard worker (she is always there available for anything you throw at her), and just takes care of EVERYTHING in the buying process. Everything! Do yourself a favor and work with her. Thanks Blair!

Blair recently helped me purchase a new home as our family transitioned into a new phase of life. Throughout the entire process - from searching for homes that fit our needs, going through inspections, finding bids on repairs to closing and moving - Blair was the most professional, knowledgeable, responsive Realtor with whom I have ever worked. I love the approach that Blair and Clayton bring to the table, as we felt we had a solid team of professionals supporting our family through this process. I felt their commitment to their motto "integrity matters" throughout every step of the process and am so grateful for the ease with which I was able to make this purchase and move. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience in working with Blair and the Boro Realty Team!!

We love Boro Realty! As first-time homebuyers in a new area, we met with three separate realtors as we began our journey, and ultimately went with Blair. I’m so glad we did! She was incredibly helpful with all the questions we had, quick to respond to texts and emails, and successfully helped us buy a home in this crazy market. I loved that in addition to being open to any houses we suggested to see, Blair also spent time searching for them herself and sent listings each week when she found good fits. It felt like she was truly doing the work of a real estate agent instead of leaving it up to us to reach out to her. Blair also was incredible with our young daughters. She brought a vase of daffodils for them to a house showing, lugged in a big box of toys for them on home inspection day when we had to hang around for a few hours, and brought them both individualized closing gifts in addition to ours when the house purchase went through. We loved those personal touches and would absolutely recommend Blair in a heartbeat.

Bill Mullen was recommended to my husband and myself by a trusted friend when we were looking to purchase land in Chapel Hill. Bill was responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, professional and a real pleasure to work with. He showed us several properties, sincerely interested in us finding the "right" place. Of course, when it was time to sell the land, Bill was our go-to-guy. Once again, it was a seamless process. We highly recommend Bill!

I am so happy I had Boro Realty to help me with my house hunt! Blair Nell was my agent and she is the best! She was thorough, professional and great to work with. She kept me informed and answered all my questions even when they were confusing at times. I closed on my place last month and would definitely go with her and her company if I had to do again.

When my elderly parents decided to downsize, they engaged Bill Mullen to sell their longtime home. Bill was amazing, helping them declutter and modernize their home with some simple changes that made it appealing to younger buyers. He did a great job with the listing text and photos, playing up the unique features of the relatively small Chapel Hill home on a tricky hillside lot—its proximity to schools, the view of a creek and pond, decks, and a screen porch. He made the whole process for them easy from listing to closing. In the first day on the market, they had multiple offers. Bill helped them manage the offers and quickly sell the home for above asking price. I strongly recommend Bill Mullen and Boro Realty to future buyers or sellers.

Blair Nell is great! My Sister-in law and Mother & Father-in law have both used her so she is the family's agent. She helped me and my wife buy our first home and was excellent at guiding us through the process. She is very knowledgeable about the area. After finding the home we wanted, we found that there was already an offer on it. Her negotiating/bargaining skills quickly allowed our counter offer to be accepted and we were able to close in 30 days. We highly recommend Boro Realty!

My husband and I have bought and sold several homes as we moved around the southeast. Clayton was the 7th realtor we worked with so we have some points of comparison. Clayton was AMAZING. We were looking for land to build a home and Clayton was able to advise us every step of the way. He knew all the right questions to ask. And, more than that - he knew: who to ask, what to do based on the answer, when and how much to push on something. He made great recommendations on builders to consider and connected us with a designer and other folks who could provide insight and assistance. We highly recommend Clayton because of his expertise, connections to the community/other experts and integrity (he actually cares/wants to help you!). And ...he's enjoyable to work with and be around!

I feel so fortunate to have met Blair & Clayton. They sold my house in Chapel Hill and then helped me find a perfect fit in Carrboro. They were always available to answer questions and address any concerns. I really appreciated their knowledge and sound advice. I highly recommend them!

Bill Mullen has been very helpful to us in several real estate transactions over the years. From helping us find a buyer for a house many years ago to more recently acting as an agent for purchasing a lot on which to build a new home and selling our beautiful house in downtown Chapel Hill. His knowledge of land and housing markets, attention to detail, willingness to respond to any and all questions in a timely manner and overall calm steady demeanor were extremely reassuring to us during the preparation, showing and final closing activities. Bill’s input and advice on what we needed to do to make our home and its surroundings more attractive made the process easier and resulted in having a property that was more valuable on the market. During all of our real estate interactions, it has been a comfort to know that Bill was working for us and in a way that was proactive, organized, and highly ethical.

My brothers and I just closed on a 100 acre property in Chatham County, NC. The elapsed time from posting the property to closing was in excess of 1 year, and involved quite a number of events and issues not usually associated with a land transaction. For example, the land had to be appraised, soil samples taken, high level survey done, staging area for prospective buyers and path built for buyers to tour the land. My brothers and I live nowhere near Orange County (DE, MA, and DC) so the load fell on and was shouldered by Bill who coordinated everything professionally and skillfully. It took a while because of COVID and the property's odd shape, but a serious buyer surfaced and we went to contract. There were a couple of encroachment issues the most serious of which required us, at our expense, to relocate a driveway. Bill, again, found a contractor to do the driveway relocation. Bill was on-site dozens of times for all issues. His level of responsiveness, skill, and humor was spectacular. The engagement he was aligned with - seller's counsel and buyer's agent - added additional complexity to the transaction. I, and my brothers, cannot sing Bill's praises loudly enough. We recommend Bill most highly.

Bill Mullen is the best! His knowledge of the Triangle area is vast and his hospitality is the most gracious. With his kind sense of humor he made the search for a house so much fun! The neighborhood that we landed in turned out to be the best one for our lifestyle. We have many new friends!

We were moving to Carrboro from out of state, in the middle of a pandemic, into an absolutely wild real estate market. We had prepared ourselves for renting and a long house hunt. Instead, we closed on the first house we made an offer on. Blair and Clayton were wonderful the whole way through the process, from giving options for local mortgage brokers, to helping us narrow down our wants and needs, and finally steering us through a bidding war to buy our dream house. They gave great advice, but never pressured us. I hope we never have to move again- but if we do, we are definitely calling Blair!

When we needed to sell our condo from a distance, and Covid-19 was preventing normal travel, Blair went above and beyond the call in order to list and sell our unit. She sold the unit quickly and took care of all the details. It was the easiest real estate transaction we've ever had, thanks to Blair. Highly recommend.

Blair Nell stood by our side for two whole years after we relocated to the Triangle without friends or family nearby. She helped us navigate the red-hot Durham housing market—and its notorious clay—with grace and grit. When we started to get nervous about our prospects and were ready to settle for less than what we wanted deep down inside, she and her husband, Clayton, encouraged us to be patient and reminded us that the right house would come along in due time. And it did! Along the way, she offered us wise counsel and a detailed roadmap of what lay ahead of us. She climbed into crawlspaces, pointed out structural defects, and recommended the most reliable and knowledgeable contractors and home inspector to help us assess potential issues. Her judgment, integrity, and negotiating skills are second to none. We are proud to recommend her and her company, Boro Realty, to anyone looking for their forever home.

We built our home during the pandemic and while the building process was a nightmare at times, Blair was fantastic to work with! I knew we would get along the minute I met her--she was kind, attentive to our needs, and so easy to talk to. Many times, I felt like she wasn't just my agent but a most supportive friend who was always looking out for us and willing to help in whatever capacity that we needed. Blair is also a hardworking professional and flawlessly handled difficult communications with the builder to ensure we were being heard. Boro Realty's motto is that "Integrity Matters" and I truly believe our dealings with Blair reflected her firm's commitment to that principle. Would highly recommend this team to anyone who is looking for their next home!

Blair Nell helped us find our dream home. We moved to the area from NYC, and had very little knowledge of the local neighborhoods. Blair took the time to understand us as a couple and as a family and with her infinite knowledge, helped us navigate the local area and narrow down our search to fit out specific needs. She kept us from jumping on a home that really didn't suit us, and then went to battle for the house we wanted. I can't recommend a better person to have on your side.

Searching for and buying a house from out of state comes with its own set of challenges, but working with Bill/Boro Realty made the experience totally doable and enjoyable. Bill was always super responsive and flexible with our schedules - much appreciated when you work full time and can’t meet in person. He helped us navigate the local market and negotiation process. Once successful, he never left our side even after closing. He went above and beyond to check in on our house and meet inspectors/repairmen/contractors when we weren’t able to make the trip due to COVID-19. We felt like Bill truly cared about us and that our desires mattered to him. He has great knowledge of the area and is a trustworthy source. We would certainly utilize his services again and recommend him and Boro Realty highly.

We have bought and sold houses with Clayton at Boro Realty. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and the real value of homes. He seamlessly led us through the process and advocated for what was best for us at every step. We still turn to him for support and recommendations for home repairs as he is well networked in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area. I recommend Clayton and Boro Realty to all of my friends, and would definitely work with him again in the future.

Dedicated and knowledgable, a real class act! I can't say enough good things about Blair and her team at Boro Realty. Blair and Clayton helped our family find the perfect home and guided us through the process of buying and selling with ease. Blair is a dedicated professional who will work tirelessly on your behalf to make sure you stay informed and get the best possible results. I highly recommend Blair, she is simply the best!

We recently purchased a home in Chapel Hill and Clayton from Boro Realty served as our knowledgeable guide throughout the entire process. He carefully listened to what we were looking for, selected homes that fit our criteria, and patiently adapted his search as our vision changed along the way. We were often visiting homes the day they were posted which shows both his commitment to getting us into the right house and also his ability to be flexible.

He negotiated on our behalf as if he were buying the home for himself or a close family member or friend. We wholeheartedly recommend Clayton to anyone looking to buy a home in Chapel Hill.

My husband and I recently purchased land in Orange County along with 4 partners. What could have been a very complicated process was made seamless and simple because Clayton was such a responsive, organized, and knowledgeable agent. He helped us identify surveyors and soil scientists familiar with the area and was always available to answer questions or walk the property. He kept all six of us on schedule with regards to our contract and informed us immediately when there were any changes or issues that needed to be addressed. We would highly recommend Clayton (and Boro Realty) to anyone who was looking to buy or sell property in the Chapel Hill area.

Boro, and especially Amy, were incredible to work with. From the initial meeting through closing the communication, support, and coordination were absolutely top shelf. When I had to leave town for work, I was able to trust Amy to coordinate cleaners, photographers, pressure washing, listing, showings, and open houses. She even got my mail and watered plants so they looked good for the showings! Selling a house can be stressful but Boro made it a simple, straightforward process. In the end our house sold for $46k over asking, and set a record sale price for the neighborhood. It was so nice to work with a local small business; Amy was a delight and I would highly recommend Boro Realty to anyone, buying or selling.

Blair did an excellent job helping us get our condo ready to market, and it sold for more than our asking price in the first weekend. Our condo had been a rental for many years, so it needed work before it could be put on the market. Blair made all the necessary arrangements and got the necessary work done quickly and professionally. She also arranged to have the condo staged for showing, and it looked great. There were a number of complications that came up during the process, but Blair worked effectively with the buyer’s agent to make sure everything stayed on track. As out of state owners, we were concerned about potential difficulties relating to a long distance sale, but Blair made it work smoothly. The sale is now complete, and we are happy customers.

We worked with Blair from Boro Realty three times over the last five years and wouldn't even consider anyone else after our successful work together. Her dedication to understanding client needs and guiding them through the process is unmatched in my experience. At every step she was prepared and professional and used a practiced eye to advise us while helping us to find the perfect home for our quirky little family. Highly recommend.

Bill Mullen at Boro Realty was exceptional in terms of helping me with getting the house ready for sale and guiding me through the process of selling it, the paperwork, the inspection, and all the many details that go with selling a house. He had originally sold me this house over ten years ago and I went back to him to sell it, which tells you how much I value his help.

Blair and Clayton are wonderful to work with! We would highly recommend them to assist whether you are planning to buy/sell or both! The personal experience that they provide is truly invaluable and we felt as if we had a true partner who understood what we were looking for. Never once were we left questioning the next steps in the process and the expertise from Blair and Clayton helped us navigate a competitive market. From the moment we engaged to the moment we closed we were taken care of and at the end of the day that's all that matters.

Having the right realtor in such a hot seller's market is key. And honestly? There is a gamut of realtors with varying levels of experience, temperament, and intelligence. Blair was, by far, incredibly gifted in all three. You want someone who will negotiate in your best interests, who will tell you how to negotiate when other realtors just intone, "best and highest" at you. You need someone who truly wants you to be happy in your home. Blair cares about her clients and her service was top notch. Blair was ridiculously available, 10pm need to write an offer? She was on it. Need to see a house that just listed an hour ago? Done. Need to nudge other stakeholders to get things in line on time? She's already sent off the friendly email. When you are panicking because buying a home is an emotionally intense process? She will talk you off the ledge, but tells the tough truth when you need to hear it. Her command of the local area is exceptional: she talked me out of houses that she knew were bad deals / big problems when other realtors would have happily sold them to me. She never made me feel less important because I wasn't buying a 500K home. I felt just as important, and I believe she gives the same kind of attention and care to all of her clients, no matter what. Available. Kind. Honest. Knowledgeable. Invested. That is Blair, and that is Boro realty, you cannot go wrong.

Blair and Clayton epitomize "dream team," especially when it comes to real estate navigation. There is no one I would want on my team more than the folks at Boro Realty. The wealth of knowledge and steadfast attention to detail, combined with fulfilling the needs and wants of their clients is unmatched! It is a joy to spend time with these two. As first time home buyers, my partner and I never once felt pressured into a situation we weren't comfortable with. All of our many questions were addressed and Blair never slept on an opportunity (truly, this woman sends emails at all hours). We cannot give them enough praise!

We worked with Blair at Boro Realty and she was amazing!! She is warm and friendly and easy to work with. She has a deep understanding of the local area (Chapel Hill and Carrboro) which was great in terms of comparable sales, estimating value, and available inventory. She is also incredibly detail-oriented and was helpful in documenting and explaining each step of the buying process. Blair is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and the advocate you want on your side throughout the buying process. We would HIGHLY recommend!!

Blair helped us navigate a tumultuous market and stuck with us until we found the right home. Her knowledge of the area is incredible and deep. She constantly has her eye on properties and looks at each one of them in terms of her clients. She gets to know you and what resonates with you. She sincerely wants you to find the home that is going to make you happy. What we wanted was a realtor that wasn't afraid to tell us when she though something wasn't right for us. Blair did that and more. Her insight and intuition are amazing. She made us feel understood. Her negotiating skills were impressive as well. She never pushed us to go outside of our comfort zone, but she did lay it out for us in how to be aggressive in this sellers' market. I would 100% recommend Blair to help you find your home.

In nearly 40 years and the buying of many homes, working with Clayton Nell and Boro Realty was by far the best experience I had. Clayton did an outstanding job of all the basics helping us to find a home remotely and work through all the usual closing details. His communication and attention to detail throughout was awesome. What impressed me most though was his willingness to go above and beyond over and over again to help my family, even long after the sale was complete. If you need a realtor, Clayton is the one!

Clayton was wonderful to work with. He was knowledgeable, experienced and we would highly recommend him!

We are forever grateful for Amy helping us with selling our house. She responded quickly and patiently to all our questions, granting tremendous understanding for the emotional aspects of selling a home and helping us prioritize the most important repairs to do before listing. If she did not know the answer, she would humbly admit so and do some research before getting back to us. Passionate about her work, Amy was thorough and focused, not leaving anything unresolved or undone. We appreciated that she helped us stay on track, moving at the necessary pace without being pushy. She went above and beyond, putting in extra work to make the house shine for selling. The combination of her knowledge and caring energy made a typically stressful process go smoothly from beginning to end.

Fantastic working with Clayton and Blair.

Our family had a great experience working with Blair. Blair went the extra mile with my elderly mother walking her through all the necessary details. She staged the house beautifully, including managing repairs, painting and decor. All of this effort made it possible to sell the house quickly and at a price we were very pleased with. I cannot overestimate the patience and kindness that Blair offered in working out all of the arrangements with my mother and the family every step of the way. Blair’s professionalism, sincerity, warmth, organization, and attention to detail was very much appreciated. We highly recommend Blair and Boro Realty to anyone considering selling their home.

My partner and I worked with Amy to sell our condo, and I'm so glad we did: she made what would have otherwise been a stressful transition seamless and pain-free! She coordinated the showing and closing around our busy travel and research schedules to give us peace of mind AND a return well over our asking price. Work with Boro; no second thoughts needed!

Simply the best!!!! Highly recommend! Clayton took care of us from start to finish and even after we got our house. He helped us in many showings and took the time to thoroughly review each property in detail. If you are in the need of a real estate purchase or sell, look no further!

I reached out to Blair not knowing if we would make Chapel Hill our new home. She jumped right in to help us research and explore all the factors in our cross-country move: schools, neighborhoods, and special resources. Ultimately, we did not move to NC, yet I know we couldn't have found our new home without Blair! Her guidance, professionalism, and caring heart were key to helping us make the best decisions for our family. Thank you Blair for helping us gain clarity of our needs, and step through a daunting process!

Bill did such a great job handling the sell of a property for us! Boro Realty made the process simple, understandable and for the most part effortless. Would absolutely recommend! Thank you Bill & Boro Realty!

Amy Pulliam was my broker for our first house. She was absolutely terrific. She listened to us and was able to guide us where we weren't sure what to do. She kept up with us and was very kind and responsive throughout the whole process. She helped schedule inspections and get quotes and dealt with so much of the work of actually buying the house. I am so thankful she was so wonderful. I highly recommend her for a first time homebuyer!

There is no way to overstate the exceptional experience that Blair and her team provided for my elderly mother who was downsizing from Fearrington. There were a considerable number of things as a widow that had been left undone she wasn't capable of doing that Blair gently stepped in and took care of - way beyond what a typical realtor would be expected to do. The idea of staging was a completely new idea to my moms generation which Blair was able to, again, persuade her to do without being pushy. Every step of the way, Blair showed consummate patience combined with respectful understanding often going to her new house to explain how the process was going. The final result was a transformed house that sold for way over asking price. The selling phase also highlighted Blairs talents- she managed the offers with considerable savvy and made sure all parties involved felt good about the transaction. One can trust Blair and her team every step of the way and most assuredly get the best deal in town and a new friend as well. If you want a personalized, professional, warm with attention to detail experience, look no further than Blair and Boro !

Our family purchased 2 homes with Boro Realty in 2020 and 2022. Their knowledge of the market, professionalism and flexibility allowed us to achieve quick results even during this challenging market. Blair, Clayton and others at Boro were fantastic to work with and we've recommended them to friends and family.

Buying a home in 2022 is a wild ride, but Blair knew how to make it as easy as possible. She was communicative, knew how to look for things that suited our wants and needs, and knew all the answers to my million questions. I also felt comfortable with her and trusted her to tell us the truth and not to nudge us into buying something that wasn't worth it. I can't imagine having done it any other way!

Can’t recommend Amy enough! My partner and I met Amy at an open house and immediately appreciated her kindness and warmth. We are first time homebuyers and recent transplants to the Triangle and she helped us navigate this crazy market with great knowledge, professionalism and attentiveness. We had an offer accepted much more quickly than we anticipated and couldn’t be more grateful, but feeling like our time hunting with Amy got cut short was bittersweet. We’re excited to make our new house a home, but would not hesitate to work with Amy in the future!

My daughter recently bought a single dwelling home and sold her townhouse using Boro Realty. From a mothers perspective Blair and Clayton are amazing ! They were able to walk my daughter through the exhausting process with exceptional professionalism and confidence. Blair provided my daughter with just the right amount of direction which was so helpful given the recent real estate market. She always had my daughters best interest in mind. And to top it off she is incredibly kind and caring !

Blair and her team at Boro Realty are the absolute best real estate firm in North Carolina! Hands down if you need a real estate firm to help you buy or sell your home and navigate all the complexities of this market these are the people for you! Blair help me both buy and sell a home, in a complex and competitive market. She lead me through the process with professionalism, kindness, and a true understanding of my unique financial situation. Blair is honest, kind, efficient, straight-up, and down to earth! Blair knows how to juggle many things, and she was 100% focused on my needs as her client. I was able to put full trust and faith in Blair! I will be recommending this wonderful person to every single person I know who is buying or selling or both!

My husband and I reached out to work with Amy after we heard that she had done a superb job selling our neighbor's house, and our experience with her was nothing short of the same! Amy was professional, kind, and attentive to our concerns and needs as sellers. Throughout the entire process, Amy was flexible and provided expert advice about scheduling the sale in perfect timing with our cross-country move, suggested helpful design tips for staging our home, and was communicative whenever we had questions. We were very impressed with the overall professionalism and promptness we experienced with Amy and Boro Realty. If we are ever in the search for a home in the area again we would not hesitate to contact Boro Realty and work with Amy again.

We had two great experiences with Boro Realty—once selling and then buying. We were so impressed with Blair when she represented the buyers of our townhouse, we decided to work with Boro to find our new (very old) home in Hillsborough. Although there were numerous challenges and considerations with buying a 100+ year old house, Blair and Clayton were undaunted and stepped up with their excellent experience and service. We are very grateful!

I highly recommend Boro Realty. My sister spoke the world of having worked with Bill Mullen, so I gave Boro Realty a call. I worked with Blair and she was a breath of fresh air. I have had bad experiences with a realtor where I felt that she was untrustworthy, and I found myself questioning everything due to a lack of guidance. Blair was knowledgeable, professional, easy to talk to and always made me feel like she was looking out for what was in my best interest. Her guidance was superb and I felt completely at ease throughout the whole process. If you are unsure which realtor to go with, look no further than Boro Realty. You’ll be glad you did.

I have never bought a piece of land by myself before. Because there was very little land available for a price I could afford in my charming, bustling town, we had a daunting task ahead of us. Amy was not deterred. Rather, she was determined. Aside from her stellar personality and expertise, what I loved about Amy was that she was always prepared, available and resourceful- knowing precisely who to contact for any unanswered questions. Once I found some land I wanted to pursue, Amy joined me in my celebration of the positive aspects of the land while also cautiously pointing out things about the land that I might otherwise not have noticed if it weren't for her careful attention to detail. She helped me to arrive at an informed decision. I could barely believe my ears when Amy called me to tell me that the land was mine! It was a moment I will never forget. The future is bright and I was so grateful to have had Amy advocating for me through every step of the process. The peace of mind I had knowing I was in excellent hands was worth its weight in gold as a first time buyer.
