With over 13 years of experience in the Raleigh-Durham real estate market, I bring deep local knowledge, genuine passion, and a strong commitment to every client relationship. Born and raised in Durham, NC, I have a true appreciation for the Triangle area’s unique communities, vibrant culture, and growing opportunities.
I’m proud to serve as an Ambassador for the Durham Chamber and have spent the last five years on the Parade of Homes Committee for Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties. Staying closely connected to local businesses and industry developments is important to me—because real estate isn’t just about homes, it’s about people and the communities we build together.
I love meeting new people and helping them achieve their real estate goals, whether it’s buying a first home, selling a longtime property, or relocating to the area. My clients know that I’ve got their back from start to finish—and many of them have become lifelong friends.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring new restaurants, practicing hot yoga, or planning my next travel adventure.
Let’s make your next move a successful one—together.

Ashley Applewhite was a wonderful, caring and resourceful help with our recent home buying experience. There is no better real estate expert than her. She’s professional, knowledgeable and is eager to ensure her clients get the absolute best results that fit their needs. Really appreciate Ashley’s passion and drive in ensuring that all our needs were met and that we were left with no questions unanswered. Ashley helped us find a brand new construction home with ALL of our “non negotiable needs” as well as our “wants” we always dreamed of, within our budget and in a wonderful area which is safe and great for our family. Ashley took the time to ensure there was no uncertainty and walked us through every step of the process with quick responses, and great attention to detail. Thank you so much Ashley! Irene A.
I had the most amazing experience working with Ashley Applewhite. She was very knowledgeable and helpful during the purchase of my first home. Whenever my wife and I had questions she was always there to explain the process. I would definitely recommend her for anyone in need of a skilled real estate agent! Marlon A.
