“This award is a sincere testament to the trust our clients place in us and the dedication our team brings to the table each day,” said Johnny Chappell, Owner and Founder of Chappell. “As we celebrate ten years of exceptional service in the Triangle, this recognition reinforces what we’ve known all along. Our work matters. Our relationships matter. And we’re just getting started. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made and grateful for the opportunity to continue growing with our community.”
Since its founding in Raleigh in 2015, Chappell has proudly represented nearly 40 designer home collections throughout the Triangle, with price points ranging from the Mid-$200,000 to over $1 million. The team has also made a significant impact on the land and development market, helping local and national builders secure prime sites for everything from urban infill projects to large-scale commuter-friendly neighborhoods.
The firm has remained a regional leader in Missing Middle Housing, a critical sector that brings high-density, low-maintenance homes in a variety of build-styles into established communities within growing urban markets. By delivering more infill, turn-key options to meet the rising demand for Triangle homeownership, Chappell continues to play a vital role in shaping the future of housing across Wake, Durham, and Orange Counties.
“We take pride in our one-of-one luxury listings, but we’re just as proud of the footprint we’re building with thoughtful new construction and critical infill,” added Chappell. “Our team isn’t just chasing sales volume. We’re focused on solving for supply, raising the bar for design, and offering more ways for people to put down roots in the communities they love.”
In addition to new construction, the firm has closed hundreds of general brokerage sales for both buyers and sellers, offering a client-first, results-driven experience that prioritizes transparent communication and local expertise.
The team’s expanding footprint spans Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and beyond, with more innovative developments and high-performance homes already in the pipeline. Chappell VIP members can preview these future-focused collections before they formally hit the market.
As the Chappell team continues to welcome new agents and grow its award-winning Raleigh brokerage, it remains committed to expanding its impact across the Triangle region.
“We do more than the average residential real estate team,” said Chappell. “But more importantly? We care more, too. The difference in what our team delivers is felt both professionally and personally. Our clients are more than transactions; they’re friends. Our vendors are more than resources; they’re partners. And our residential collections are more than cookie-cutter builds; they’re neighborhoods delivered by your own neighbors. We execute thoughtfully, strategically and empathetically, understanding our clients’ experience matters just as much as the results we deliver.”
Chappell’s continued success is fueled by its collaborative team culture, deep builder relationships, and innovative marketing approach. Whether helping homebuyers find their perfect fit, assisting sellers in maximizing value, or guiding developers through the entitlement process, the Chappell’s expert Raleigh realtors bring unmatched experience to every transaction.
“Every recognition we receive ultimately reflects the trust our community places in us,” said Chappell. “That includes the builders who believe in our marketing, the buyers who lean on our guidance, and the agents who choose to grow with us. We’re honored, grateful, and more motivated than ever.”
Chappell [Powered by Compass] extends its deepest thanks to its dedicated team members, industry partners, and the clients whose belief that the team is made up of the best realtors in Raleigh makes the firm’s continued success possible. The team looks forward to growing its impact in the year ahead and continuing to deliver cutting-edge marketing, local expertise, and exceptional service to buyers, sellers, and developers across the Triangle.
