We’re Ellen and Timothy Pitts. We’ve lived in the Triangle for years and we work almost exclusively with people relocating from out of state.

oleksandra bem2026-04-17It was an amazing experience! From first call to closing and continues to be after! Tim and Ellen are going to be our first friends we found in NC!! Moving with 3 kids from other state is stressful! Finding right community, good schools and perfect house can be so overwhelming! But Tim and Ellen made this process almost stress free! They took as much as they could from our plate!! We loved spending time with Tim, touring houses and getting his opinion! You are truly getting smarter just talking with him! Good manners and so well spoken! Ellen does the hardest part for you behind the scene! She will get right people and best prices for you!! Very good communication, during most important moments. They were on the phone with me at 10 pm!! They truly wanted us to be happy and confident with our decision! We are going to recommend them to friends, family and use them again if needed for future!!
Stephanie Martinez2026-04-10We recently relocated from out of state and purchased a new construction home in a 55+ community in Clayton, NC. Even though buying a new build can sometimes feel straightforward, having Ellen and Timothy of Harmony Realty helping us along the way made the process much easier. They helped us understand the different 55+ communities in the area and ultimately helped us secure the lot we really wanted in the community that felt most like us. Because we were not living locally during the build, their updates and follow-up on the progress of the house were incredibly helpful and gave us real peace of mind. They were always responsive, knowledgeable about the local market, and great to work with. Their follow-through and relationships in the area made the whole experience smooth for us. We would absolutely recommend Harmony Realty, especially for anyone relocating to the area from out of state.
Cheryl B.2026-03-16If I could give this 10+ stars I would. I've worked with other realtors before, and they always just did their jobs, accurately and professionally. However, Ellen and Timothy went so very far out of their way and bent over backwards. They held my hand every step of the way and made it so that I didn't have to worry about anything, They took care of every little (and big) detail and advised when I was about to do something that wasn't in my best interest. I especially loved the 2 gift baskets--1 for pre-move stress and the other for post-move, as well as a box of boxes. There wasn't anything they didn't think of!
Pamela Minore2025-12-15Ellen and Timothy were amazing to work with! Always accessible and very professional. They made the difficult and stressful experience of buying a home easy and seamless. Highly recommend!
Charmaine Mire2025-10-11Ellen and Timothy at Harmony Realty made our move to Cary so smooth. Even from out of state, they guided us through every step — from virtual meetings and helpful resources to finding our dream home on our first trip. Their knowledge of the Triangle area, excellent communication, and continued support after closing were incredible. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home here!
Karl Wunderlich2025-09-18We found Harmony Realty by doing a google search for best neighborhoods to live in, in the Raleigh/Durham area. Ellen & Timothy have many very helpful videos and a lot of information on the area. They pointed us in the right direction and went above and beyond what we would expect from a realtor. They referred us to other contractors who helped us once we found our home as well. I would highly recommend this firm if you're in the need of a realtor.
James Downey2025-09-10Ellen and Timothy were great from start to finish. They were honest and up front about the housing market and where we fit into it. They were always ready for a phone call day or night and kept us informed throughout the process. We needed professionals to help us get into a home and they were the right folks to get the job done. 10/10 would take that ride again with Harmony Realty.
Emma J2025-09-07We found Ellen and Timothy through their YouTube channel, and from the first intake call to closing on our new house, they have been the best partners in our home search and buying process! They were incredibly attentive, available, and informed, and put us at so much ease. You're in the best possible hands if you choose to work with Ellen and Timothy!
Debra Dexheimer2025-09-07Ellen and Timothy Pitts are fantastic to work with. They are professional, knowledgeable, and best of all they are quick to act. I would highly recommend them.
Lynn Meyer2025-09-04Ellen and Timothy Pitts are a marvelous realtor team and they did an excellent job of helping us find and purchase our new home in Cary. We highly recommend them! We were moving from WA State and had formed a list of criteria for a home in this area. Much of our process was done working together with Ellen and Timothy from a distance, after we had visited here and had personally met with them. At that time, Timothy showed us a variety of homes in the communities we were considering, which was quite helpful to us. Ellen and Timothy are both very comfortable to work with and they assisted us to find and purchase a home that met all of our criteria and that we love! They were quick to respond to any question or need we had during the process. Their professional expertise and straightforward friendly approach made us feel at ease through searching, closing and moving in. Many thanks to them!
