Matt Lunceford Blivin

I was born and raised in Durham, North Carolina, and I genuinely love everything about this city—from the trails and neighborhoods to the energy of downtown. I’m passionate about infill housing and thoughtful urbanism, and I care deeply about building walkable, connected communities that make Durham such a special place to live.

I attended Belmont University, where I ran track and cross country, and running is still a huge part of my life. I run a marathon every year and am currently on a five-year journey to break 2:30 in the marathon. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me out for a run, walking my dog with my wife, or gardening at home.

I’ve been working in real estate for about five years and truly love helping people find the right place to call home. My wife owns a coffee shop here in Durham, which doubles as my favorite place to get work done. I’m also a big Duke athletics fan and take pride in being deeply rooted in the community I serve.
