About Us

Founded by fraternity brothers John (“Johnny”) Morisey and Thomas (“Tommy”) Fonville in 1973, Fonville Morisey Realty has been the undisputed leader of the Greater Triangle (“Research Triangle”) residential real estate market for nearly two decades.

In July 2006, Fonville Morisey Realty was acquired by the Long & Foster ® Real Estate Companies, the largest privately owned real estate company in the nation. The transaction left the company name and organization completely intact – now further empowered by a parent company of world class standing.
Fortified by synergies with Long & Foster, the company continues to set records for sales and client satisfaction.
Focused strictly on new and resale residential real estate, Fonville Morisey has 11 sales offices located strategically throughout the Greater Triangle region.
Over a decade ago, the company committed to delivering a “one stop shopping customer experience,” and continually strives to offer all the services a homebuyer or seller require – through FM Lending (a full service mortgage banking company consistently ranked as one of the top 10 lenders in the market) and Guaranty Title Services (an underwriter for nationally recognized Chicago Title).
Taking great pride in its ability to recruit, train, and retain the finest quality real estate professionals, Fonville Morisey has over 600 professional sales associates. The company’s private real estate school, Fonville Morisey Center for Real Estate Studies, prepares nearly 1,000 students annually for North Carolina Broker and Sales person licensing examinations.
