Welcome to the Durham NC website created especially for private sales of homes. Recognizing that homeowners have very good reason to sell their home themselves without the representation of a real estate professional, this site was created as a way to increase the exposure of these not multiple listed homes. We encourage feedback and suggestions and hope you will feel free to make requests. Check these suggestions for pitfalls to avoid in selling your own home. Note that Piedmont Preferred Realty, Inc. is a member of the Durham Association of Realtors and the Triangle Multiple Listing Service. In addition to the services offered on this web site for individuals who are selling their own homes, the links on the left of this page lead to web sites that provide access to information about homes on the Triangle Multiple Listing Service.
