Joni@StraightUpRealty.com

My name is Joni Williams. As owner of Straight Up Realty I believe in being honest and "straight up" with clients. The thing that I love the most about real estate is meeting new people. I enjoy meeting people of all ages, from all walks of life and from all over the world. The older I get I realize that my mother was right in that life is all about change. The one thing that seems to remain constant in Pittsboro is the caliber of the people that are attracted here. You can still walk downtown or into the post office or grocery store and it's ok to say hi to anyone you see and they will definitely say hello back. It's part of our Southern Hospitality! Chatham County is a great location because we are only a few hours from the mountains or the coast! If you are interested in making this area your home, I would love to help you with your real estate needs.

Sandy@StraightUpRealty.com

Hi, I'm Sandy Burke! I was born and raised just outside of Pittsboro on Charlie Brooks Road (Charlie Brooks was my grandfather). I live in Goldston with my husband Bill and have three sons who all live nearby. From the time I was small, I loved home and the architectural features of houses. As I raised my children, I started a custom drapery business, gave consultations on home decor and helped clients select materials to build new homes or remodel. This passion led me to attend Fonville Morisey Real Estate School in Cary and receive my North Carolina Real Estate License November of 2017. Chatham County is certainly growing and I'm happy to be a part of these exciting changes to our community! I love people and enjoy all ages. I'd be happy to help you search for your next home or list your current one to sell.

Donna Bianco

Donna@StraightUpRealty.com

In 1981 Donna started her career with a Masters degree in Special Education teaching exceptional children in Upstate NY and continued there for 17 years until moving to NC in 1998. Once here she taught in the Triangle area for 10 years but in 2006 she changed careers and opened an Italian restaurant, Bella Donna, in Pittsboro. Now moving closer to retirement age, she is interested in slowing down, physically, and her husband is always looking for houses to flip and properties to purchase so it seems like a next step progression. If you are moving here from another state, and a smooth transition is what you are looking for, with my personal experience we can make it seamless, together.
