PRESIDENT
Blayze joins JD Signature Homes with a true passion for home building. Having been raised around Real Estate and Home Building, Blayze’s skills have been molded through years of experience with some of the top National home builders. Blayze began his career at Toll Brothers, a top five National Builder, as a Project Manager overseeing Sales, Construction, Marketing, Purchasing and Finance for several large communities in the Greater Raleigh-Durham area. Following his years as a Project Manager, Blayze felt the need to explore and learn every aspect of the business that he had not yet gotten his hands on, beginning with his focus on Land Development. Blayze acted as Senior Land Development Manager at Meritage Homes in Raleigh, yet another top five homebuilder, successfully entitling and developing over 20 communities. Having done the development side of things, Blayze thought it only natural that he continue his trajectory into Land Acquisition and development. Blayze soon became Director of Land overseeing the entire Land Acquisition and Development for a large private builder across the state of North Carolina generating twenty percent growth year over year and successfully building the company to over four hundred closings annually. Self-evident Blayze has demonstrated the desire to understand every aspect of the business while continuing to grow organizations and their footprint in the markets that they are present in. Blayze is excited to have the opportunity to grow JD Signature Homes throughout the Greater Philadelphia Area and the Carolina’s and beyond.

Blayze has his MBA from The University of North Carolina’s Kenan Flagler Business School with a quadruple concentration in Finance, Marketing, Strategy and Leadership/Entrepreneurship. Outside of his work and his deep desire to learn and grow, Blayze can be found spending time with his wife, Alessandra, and daughter, or getting 18 holes in on his favorite golf courses.

Kirk Pugh – KBT Realty Group
Sales + Design + Marketing
Meet Kirk Pugh, co-founder of KBT Realty Group, Broker/Realtor, husband, dad, deep-sea fisherman, tennis player, and lover of great food.
I’ve been in Wilmington just under 22 years; I’ve been actively involved in the real estate market for all of those 22 years, eleven of them as a general broker. And, nearly 10 years as president and co-founder of KBT Realty Group.
I’m really fortunate to have been a member of the Landfall Country Club for the past 21 years, and I share my love of this community and this town with my wife Janine, my three kids ages 25,23, and 21 – holy cow, I got old – and our two dogs at home here in Landfall, in Wilmington, North Carolina.
KBT Realty Group has a mission to create abundant lives. That’s not just in our agents. That’s for our vendors, our clients, and the people who we work with on a day-to-day basis.
The fit between KBT Realty Group and Keller Williams is great. Our mission to serve both our clients and our community is well-aligned. We take a great deal of comfort knowing that our corporate offices, and all of our brokerages across the world, are all aligned with the same mission, the same vision, and the same values.
On a day-to-day basis, KBT serves a variety of clients: first time homebuyers, to the very affluent. We like to think that we give the same service to every client of ours whether they are a young couple just starting out in their first home, or they are an affluent retiree coming to invest in their second home or their retirement home.
So, between kids, dogs, boating, fishing, dining, sipping some wine on occasion, and getting out on the courts, we lead a pretty full life here in southeastern North Carolina.

We look forward to serving you!
