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.
Provide a nationwide network of carefully screened, physician‑friendly real estate agents.
Offer free, no‑obligation referrals—ensuring your best interests, not commissions, drive the process. Focus exclusively on medical students, residents, fellows, and practicing physicians, so your unique career pressures are always understood. Deliver peace of mind with a service built on integrity, trust, and 20+ years of physician relocation experience.
Relocating during Match, fellowship, or a new position is stressful enough. You deserve an ally who understands what’s at stake and can help you move quickly, confidently, and without wasted time. Residency Advocates isn’t just about finding you an agent—we’re about advocating for you every step of the way.
