Sheryl Merritt, MBA, CEO/Broker
I'm a Raleigh native who loves this city and all it has to offer. My real estate career spans some 30 years, culminating in the launch of New Legacy Realty in 2005. In addition to my work as a real estate professional, my training as a certified housing counselor and mortgage loan officer enables me to answer finance questions and educate clients on sustainable homeownership and other topics. I enjoy assisting local and relocating families with finding their dream home and neighborhood and all the special things that make a home. Let me know when you're ready to make your next move. I'm here to serve. |

Kimberly Alim-Burgos, Broker
I was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, and have dedicated over two decades to advocating for underserved communities—especially those facing language barriers and financial hardship. With a strong foundation in the construction industry, I've developed a deep understanding of what it takes to build not only homes, but strong, informed communities. Now transitioning into a career in real estate, while staying rooting in residential and commercial construction. I strive to bring that same dedication, knowledge, and service-driven mindset to help others achieve the dream of homeownership. As a bilingual professional fluent in reading, writing, and speaking Spanish, I feel that I'm uniquely positioned to support clients who are often overlooked or underserved due to language limitations. My ability to communicate clearly and compassionately in both English and Spanish allows me to bridge critical gaps in understanding, trust, and access. Throughout my 20+ years of community advocacy, empowering individuals with the tools and information they need to take control of their financial futures. My entry into the real estate industry with a giver’s mentality, determined not only to serve but to be a voice for the voiceless and a guide for the hopeful. My mission is simple yet powerful: to equip every client—regardless of background—with the knowledge and confidence to become a homeowner. |
