About Eli

The Experience You Need to Make Your Best Move Hey! I’m Eli Wachtman, a REALTOR® with Linda Craft Team, REALTORS, helping buyers and sellers throughout Raleigh, Durham, and the greater Triangle area. I grew up in Northwest Ohio and moved to Southern California in my early 20s looking for a change of scenery. After eight years on the West Coast, a career opportunity brought my wife and me to Raleigh in 2016, and we quickly realized this was where we wanted to put down roots. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to live, work, own property, and invest throughout the Triangle. My family has lived in Downtown Raleigh and Durham and has invested in multiple properties in the Durham area. That personal experience gives me a unique perspective when helping clients understand not just the numbers behind a home purchase, but what it actually means to live and invest here. My real estate experience stretches across Raleigh, Durham, Garner, Fuquay-Varina, Clayton, and surrounding Triangle communities, including areas such as Inside the Beltline, South Raleigh, Falls Lake, South Durham, Eastern Durham, and South Square. I’ve represented clients across a wide range of price points, from homes in the $200Ks and $300Ks to luxury properties exceeding $1 million, with buyer transactions reaching as high as $2.5 million. Whether I’m helping a first-time buyer, negotiating with a builder on new construction, marketing a home for sale, or navigating a complex inspection and Due Diligence period, my approach is the same: understand the details, communicate clearly, and help my clients make decisions they feel confident about. Before real estate, I spent nearly a decade in the technology industry building client relationships and helping people solve problems and achieve their goals. Buying my own first home sparked an interest in real estate that eventually became a full-time career. The skills carried over naturally: listen carefully, understand the problem, analyze the options, negotiate effectively, and never lose sight of what the client is trying to accomplish. Today, I’m proud to be part of Linda Craft Team, REALTORS, where I’m able to combine my personal knowledge of the Triangle with the resources and experience of one of the area’s established real estate teams. Outside of real estate, you’ll usually find me exploring the Triangle with my wife, Grace, and our son, Wilder. We enjoy paddle boarding on Falls Lake and Jordan Lake, biking the American Tobacco Trail
