Real Estate Partner
Courtney Pizzitola
As a proud Winston-Salem native and Brookberry Farm resident, I am honored to represent Third Generation Homes in the neighborhood I call home. After years in Texas, my husband and I returned to raise our children in the area we love most. With firsthand experience relocating and a deep connection to the area, I bring both empathy and expertise to every transaction. My goal is to make the buying or selling process smooth, informed, and relationship focused. Beyond real estate, my greatest joy is my family. Raising three amazing kids means our household is always full of adventure. Whether we're grilling, playing some driveway pickleball, or piecing together a challenging puzzle, we try to stay laughing. These shared experiences reinforce my belief that a house truly becomes a home through the moments created there.
