Wake Forest NC Homes and Real Estate

Strategic Solutions for a Better Way Home

As an agent who's an expert in this local area, we bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. We look forward to serving you. Here are some of the things I do:

Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! We can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home

Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. We can take care of everything you need, from start to close.

Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. We can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.

We met Rob at an open house in Heritage and were very impressed with his professionalism. When we were ready to list our home in Wakefield we reached out to him. With his help and that of his team we had a signed offer within five days. We really appreciated his positive presentation and aggressive approach. Highly recommend Zelem Real Estate.

I purchased my home through Zelem Real Estate and sold it 2 years later with them. You will not find ANY team in the RDU and surrounding areas that are as easy and seamless to work with. This market is insane and the last thing anyone needs is an agent who makes to process harder than it is already. Rob and his team stay in constant contact with you every step of the way …

Working with Donna Burnette and Rob Zelem at Zelem Real Estate has been an exceptional experience from the very beginning. Donna was my buying agent in 2020, and her expertise made the process seamless. With low inventory at the time, it was challenging to find a home within my budget that checked off my wish list - and Donna went above and beyond. She called me one day …

-Christy Hedrick, Client

Donna is the best realtor I've ever worked with. Her patience with my list of "must haves" was reassuring when I felt like I would never find the "perfect" home. Her expertise and thoroughness of providing information never left me guessing or questioning anything about the homes we toured. Her recommendations proved to be beneficial, and I trusted her with every decision …
