Daniel Crudup
Realtor
Specializes in: Residential Sales, First-time Homebuyers, Investors
Hello, my name is Daniel Crudup or as my team calls me, Dan the House Man! I was born in Henderson, North Carolina but moved to Winston-Salem, NC in 2011 for college at Winston-Salem State University and never left! I now consider this home, and nothing would make me happier than helping you find your home! I would say that I am still new to the real estate industry, but I have an expansive background of being service oriented and passionate about helping others. I have more than 10 years of experience working in human services/ Customer Services. In addition to this, I am currently obtaining my PhD in Public Health with a concentration in Community Health from Walden University.
I call Winston-Salem home because its where I live, work, and play. I hold several leadership positions in my community including: Secretary of the Delta Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., Vice State Director for the North Carolina State Board of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., Protocol Director for the Southeastern Region and the Special Events and FundraisingCoordinator for both the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Pan-Hellenic Council and the Winston-Salem Chapter of Winston-Salem State University National Alumni Association. I serve on the Board of Directors for several organizations including Maximum Enterprises, Inc., Total Concepts International, LLC., and B.L.U.E.-G.R.E.E.N. Academy.
I was also recently appointed to the Forsyth County Equalization and Review Board. I am in a dual career. I currently serve as the Quality Assurance/ Quality Improvement Manager at Charles Hines & Son, Inc. Our company works with individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD). Our goal is to help these individuals achieve independence based upon their level of functionality. I entered the Real Estate world in order to help others realize the American Dream of OWNING a place to call home. I made this career move upon the realization that many people do not think that they can achieve homeownership; this is especially true in minority communities. I am a firm believer that with the right resources and individuals working together, I can help to change that narrative for countless individuals.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, swimming, watching movies, reading, shopping, trying new restaurants, and getting together with friends and family.

Bob Merritt
Realtor, Licensed Broker since 1976
Specializes in: Executive Home Sales, Investors, Residential Sales
I started my investment management career as a stockbroker in Raleigh in 1976. I moved to Winston-Salem in 1985 and joined Wachovia Bank in the Asset Management Department. I moved to Chapel Hill in 1999 and joined Franklin Street Partners. I moved back to Winston-Salem in 2005 and started my real estate business. I have been licensed as a Broker since 1976.
During my career, I have always put the client’s interest first with the focus being on finding the perfect home for them no matter how long it takes. I specialize in luxury properties, relocation and second homes. A lot of my clients are first time home buyers. This is the reason why most of my business comes primarily from past clients, who want to scale down from their larger home since the kids have moved on and to be closer to their grandchildren, as well as from referrals from friends and acquaintances.
I love to cook and even wrote a “story” cookbook of recipes of family and friends. I am a NC State alum and attend as many football and basketball games as I can. I am an avid baseball fan (Atlanta Braves). I am an ambassador and committee member for the John R. Wooden Award, which selects the national college basketball male and female player each year. I enjoy traveling (primarily to Hilton Head, Los Angeles, the mountains and the beaches) and being Papa to my new granddaughter.
Being associated with Empyrean Realty powered by Keller Williams gives me the opportunity to mentor our new agents as they begin their careers.

Marcus Britt, Jr.
Realtor
In a world where it often feels like business comes before people, I'm different. I believe in building real connections, not just making sales. I'll always give you advice that's in your best interest, even if it doesn't benefit me as much. I believe that people matter more than profits, that relationships matter more than making deals, and that caring for others isn't just a business strategy - it's who I am.
Growing up in a military family taught me the values of dependability, hard work, and discipline. Despite frequent moves, North Carolina has always been my home. As a proud member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated, an organization focused on serving others, I'm committed to making a positive impact in my community. These experiences have shaped my approach to life and business, emphasizing the importance of integrity and empathy.
When I'm not working, you'll probably find me cheering for my favorite teams in the NFL, NBA, or WNBA. But what truly makes me happy is spending time with my amazing wife and our adorable toy poodle. They're my everything.
