Tim Devinney, Co-Founder and Managing Broker

Tim Devinney, New Native Realty Co-Founder and Managing Broker, is a stalwart guide for anyone who is buying, selling, or searching for a home. An excellent communicator who is not easily flustered, Tim and his problem-solving prowess achieve great results for clients.

Tim came by these skills after twenty years with GlaxoSmithKline, a rewarding first career that shaped his desire to be an entrepreneur. At GSK, Tim went from troubleshooting mechanical and electrical problems to educating process improvement teams in the principles of Lean Enterprise and Six Sigma. He has served his Durham community as a professional paramedic, volunteered with the Wendell Rescue Squad, and acted as captain of the industrial fire fighting team at the Glaxo manufacturing facility in Zebulon. If you’re looking for a realtor who can keep his cool during stressful negotiations and deliver results, Tim is your guy.

A golf fanatic and nature lover who is also easily wooed by art, Tim’s most treasured Triangle getaway is the North Carolina Museum of Art for its inspiring collections (both indoors and out) and its cultural celebrations.

Dani Devinney, Co-Founder

Dani Devinney, New Native Realty Co-Founder, is a conscientious curator of the details. Clients appreciate her fine-tuned approach to contracts, closings, and meetings. Though she’s happy to stay behind the scenes, Dani is known to stand up for her buyers and sellers with clear communication and a calm, winning manner.

Dani’s talent for client relations was cultivated through years of customer service, from her first real estate job as a transaction coordinator in California to her first entrepreneurial years as owner and manager of a Cary coffeehouse. Dani’s approach to running a successful firm centers on her beliefs that real estate transactions are team efforts and that her clients are the most important part of that team.

Though you’re likely to find Dani enjoying a whole host of Triangle treasures, from her neighborhood greenway to Duke Gardens, her favorite evenings are spent on the lawn at Koka Booth Amphitheater taking in the sounds of the North Carolina Symphony.

Charlie D’Aleo

Charlie D'Aleo is a creative thinker who believes there’s a positive solution to every problem. Tenaciously dedicated to his clients, Charlie finds it deeply gratifying to transform what can be a stressful and confusing experience into a smooth and rewarding one.

Charlie came by his problem-solving prowess during the forty years he spent working in IT for some of the largest firms in the world, many of them financial institutions. This experience taught him the value of staying on one’s toes to respond to an ever-changing market. A fondness for logic and fine-tuned methodology drives his approach to delivering results for clients.

Charlie enjoys playing pool, strolling through downtown Wake Forest, and visiting the State Farmers Market in Raleigh on Saturday mornings.

“As first-time homebuyers, Tim & his team guided us through all of the details and paperwork. When an issue came up with the lender, they jumped right in to solve the issue. Everything came down to the wire but they got us to close ON TIME. Without their help, this would have been so stressful.”
