At Village Realty, we focus on delivering exceptional client care. From recommending trusted service providers like contractors and painters to sharing our favorite local spots for coffee, margaritas, or pet care, we're more than just real estate experts, we're your go-to resource for all things home and community.

Between us we bring 106 years of experience and more than $375 million in sales across our agents' careers, and we're passionate about guiding buyers and sellers through every step of the process. Whether you're purchasing your first home, navigating a VA loan, building new construction, or selling a cherished family property, we're here to make the experience as smooth and successful as possible.

At Village Realty, we're committed to clear communication, thoughtful service, and results that exceed expectations. Our goal is to build lasting relationships, because, as we say, it takes a village.

Founder & Owner of Village Realty

Missy Farrell

A southern gal with a love for yacht rock, a good pair of shoes, and lots of Diet Coke.

Missy Farrell founded Village Realty in 2017 with a simple idea: guide people home with real local knowledge and none of the pressure. As a licensed Realtor, she pairs a deep understanding of the Winston-Salem market with genuine care for the people she works with.

Before starting Village Realty, Missy gained valuable experience working with a larger agency. While she appreciated her time there, she identified numerous opportunities to improve the home-buying process. Determined to make a difference, she set out to build a company that prioritizes personalized service, transparency, and community expertise.

Missy has since built a team of hardworking agents who know the market and genuinely care about the people they work with. When she's not helping clients, you'll often find her playing with her beloved dog or enjoying a day at the beach with her husband and family.

Let Missy and the Village Realty team guide you home.
