Meet Alwyn Ngo — Showing Agent

Alwyn was born in Charlotte and moved to Raleigh in 2006. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Economics from UNC Greensboro and is on track to complete his Master’s in Applied Economics in May 2024. His strong analytical background gives him a valuable edge when helping buyers understand market trends and make informed decisions.

Originally planning a career in banking, Alwyn was introduced to real estate through a mentor who shared her positive experience with Daymark Realty. Inspired by the opportunity to combine financial insight with client service — and to join a respected, credit-union–affiliated brokerage — he chose to pursue a career in real estate and become part of The Guillama Realty Group.

As a Showing Agent, Alwyn is dedicated to helping buyers find the right home while offering thoughtful guidance and a calm, supportive presence throughout the process. He is enthusiastic about the profession and looks forward to serving clients with care and attention.

Outside of real estate, Alwyn enjoys rock climbing at Triangle Rock Club, a passion he’s had for over seven years. He also loves playing golf and has played the piano since childhood.

Chanel joined The Guillama Realty Group at Daymark Realty after several successful years in the mortgage industry. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, she developed a passion for real estate early on and now proudly calls Raleigh home. Her background in lending gives her clients a valuable advantage, offering insight into the financial side of the homebuying process while delivering exceptional service every step of the way.

Chanel finds genuine joy in helping others, and transitioning into real estate was a natural fit. She believes there is no greater reward than guiding clients through one of the biggest and most meaningful investments of their lives. Her determination, enthusiasm, and client-first mindset make her a tremendous asset to both our team and the buyers she serves.

Her greatest accomplishment is raising her daughter, and when she’s not assisting clients, Chanel enjoys gardening, hiking, and spending time at the beach whenever possible.
