About Us

Jonathan Pugeda

I’m originally from Connecticut, but after moving to the Raleigh area back in 2007, I’ve fully embraced the Southern lifestyle. I’m a proud single dad of two amazing kids, and most of our free time is spent adventuring together—whether that’s exploring a new city, hitting the gym, or soaking up the sun in Corolla, one of our favorite beaches.

I’ve always been curious by nature. I love learning new things, getting my hands in the garden, and cooking meals that make people feel at home. Before I got into real estate, I lived and worked in NYC in the world of FinTech, Data Science, and Consulting. Fast-paced, exciting—and also where my love for food from all over the world really began. Now, I’m constantly on the lookout for great eats around the Triangle. A few favorites? M Sushi, Naos, Brodeto, and Stanbury.

Somewhere along the way in real estate, I discovered I had a bit of an eye for design—and what started as a side interest has turned into areal passion.

My enthusiasm for helping people and love of real estate has brought me to a life changing career where I am grateful for the opportunity to guide our clients with one of their biggest investments in life.

I’m a small-town North Carolina girl at heart, with deep roots in Four Oaks and a love for life that’s simple, meaningful, and full of connection. I spent most of my summers chasing beach sunsets and riding through dirt fields with my family—those moments shaped who I am and how I see the world. They taught me that “home” isn’t just a place, it’s a feeling.

After graduating from UNC Wilmington, I followed my heart into real estate—not because I loved houses (though I do), but because I care deeply about people. I wanted a career that let me make a real impact in people’s lives.

Today, I split my time between the Raleigh area and the coast, and I feel so lucky to help others find their place in this beautiful state. Family is everything to me, and I carry that mindset into every relationship—treating each client like someone I’ve known for years.

When I’m not working, I’m usually outdoors—wakeboarding, biking, hiking, or tracking down the best local food spots I can find. I live for little adventures and believe that some of life’s best moments are found off the beaten path.

Real estate is the perfect blend of everything I love: people, purpose, and helping others create a life they’re excited to come home to.
