Before launching a successful career in real estate in 2017, RJ Hoggard built a diverse professional background in business, financial services, and ministry—serving as a pastor for over six years. This unique blend of experience allows him to offer clients both sharp analytical insight and grounded, empathetic guidance. Whether you're buying, building, or selling a home, RJ brings a calm, steady presence to the often-stressful real estate process—helping you navigate and negotiate with every step with confidence and clarity. In addition to helping clients, RJ is also a seasoned real estate investor. He’s flipped more than 20 homes and acquired 18 rental properties, giving him a deep understanding of how to spot hidden value, negotiate strategically, and make smart, high-return improvements. He uses this hands-on knowledge to help buyers avoid costly pitfalls and to guide sellers in making targeted updates that maximize their profits. When he’s not working with clients, RJ enjoys life in the Triangle with his wife, Tracy, their three sons, and their devoted Boykin Spaniel. You’ll often find him working out with friends in the early morning, playing pickleball, or paddleboarding on Jordan Lake.
