Chelsea Vanderpool and Sam Paynter proudly serve buyers, sellers, landlords, and investors across Central North Carolina with a team-based, client-first approach designed to make every transaction smooth, clear, and stress-free.

Sam Paynter works directly with buyers and sellers throughout the process — from consultations and showings to negotiations and closing. Known for his calm approach, strong communication, and attention to detail, Sam helps clients feel confident and informed whether they are purchasing their first home, selling, or making an investment move.

Chelsea Vanderpool focuses on strategy, systems, and support throughout the transaction as your dedicated transaction coordinator and lead advisor. Chelsea ensures timelines stay on track, communication stays clear, and every detail is handled carefully from contract to closing. She also leads client nurturing, education, and long-term planning to support clients well beyond the transaction.

Together, Chelsea and Sam collaborate on consultations when helpful and combine their strengths to provide consistent, hands-on support throughout the entire experience.

In addition to residential real estate, both Chelsea and Sam are experienced Property Managers who assist landlords with leasing, management, and investment planning across Central North Carolina. You can learn more about our Property Management Services today!
