Our Story

Residency Advocates was created out of a simple but powerful need: helping physicians relocate during one of the busiest, most stressful transitions of their careers.

In 2002, Dr. Joseph Turek faced what every new physician experiences—Match Day excitement followed by the challenge of relocating quickly to an unfamiliar city. His father, a real estate professional, saw not just his son’s struggle but the gap in support for medical students nationwide. He began offering a free referral service that connected medical trainees with trusted, vetted real estate agents who truly understood their unique needs. Over the next 16 years, Residency Advocates guided thousands of physicians—from Hawaii to North Carolina—through smooth, reliable relocations.

After a brief pause, Residency Advocates was relaunched in 2025 by Dr. Turek’s brother, Toby, along with partners Matt Lounsberry and Brad Graham. Their mission remains unchanged: put physicians first by removing the stress and uncertainty of finding a home during training and beyond.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

A colleague of mine had a bad experience with a real estate agent he found on his own. It was evident that the real estate agent that you recommended to us in Atlanta was well-screened. It made a world of a difference!

— A. R. | Atlanta, GA

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Everything went so smoothly. You found us an excellent agent; we flew to NC; the agent took us around some great neighborhoods near the hospital. We are now in our beautiful home.

— B. R. | Durham, NC

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

It’s a shame that the residency match happens so late in the year. It turns house-hunting into a mad dash. Fortunately, I was able to get a knowledgeable real estate agent just a few days after the match through your service. Having such a good agent completely simplified the process. Thanks.
