What is Buyer Representation?
Buyer representation involves a commercial real estate broker acting exclusively on behalf of the buyer to find and secure properties that meet their investment or business goals. Unlike a seller’s agent, a buyer’s representative prioritizes your interests, negotiating the best terms and identifying opportunities that align with your financial and strategic objectives.
At O’Bryant and Associates, I focus on understanding your unique needs to deliver tailored property options. My vision for Raleigh’s market allows me to identify value-add opportunities and properties along the path of growth, while preserving coveted neighborhoods to ensure your investment supports both financial returns and community value. With my deep Raleigh market knowledge and access to off-market deals, I uncover opportunities that deliver exceptional value for clients in Raleigh and surrounding areas.

What is a 1031 Exchange?
A 1031 exchange is a tax-deferred strategy under IRS Section 1031, allowing investors to sell a property and reinvest the proceeds into a like-kind property while deferring capital gains taxes. This process requires strict adherence to timelines and regulations, making expert guidance essential for high net worth individuals, family offices, and other investors seeking to maximize value across North Carolina’s dynamic real estate market.
My successful experience ensures a seamless, stress-free 1031 exchange process for high net worth individuals, family offices, and other investors. I leverage my market vision to source both on-market and off-market properties across North Carolina, aligning with your specific investment goals and objectives, whether focused on value-add opportunities or Raleigh’s path of growth.
