In 2023, Mary Powell took a leap of faith and opened DeLille HOME to provide an elevated real estate experience with first-hand knowledge of the High Point real estate market. 

Mary Powell’s foundation in real estate comes from her mom, Carol Young, a top-producing agent in High Point for over 37 years. Mary Powell obtained her real estate license in 1996 after graduating from the College of Charleston. Her unique combination of a Studio Arts degree and years of experience in the field allows her to approach her work with an artistic sensibility and practical expertise, ensuring a seamless experience for her clients.

Because of her numerous renovation, remodeling, and preservation projects, she deeply understands the construction and mechanics of HOMEs. Because of her extensive list of industry contacts, her clients receive top-notch support for maintaining their HOMEs, guaranteeing an elevated and stress-free real estate experience.

Passionate about historical HOMEs, Mary Powell’s expertise has earned her the prestigious Carraway Award of Merit presented by Preservation North Carolina. Her commitment to preserving architectural heritage and sharing her knowledge with clients sets her apart as a trusted advisor in this niche market.

In her HOME life, Mary Powell is known as mom to two college-aged boys and wife to Marc, a commercial real estate broker with Price Commercial in High Point. She also gives back to the High Point community by volunteering and holding leadership roles in various nonprofits.

For almost her whole life, more than 30 years, Alison has called High Point home. She grew up in the Davidson County section of High Point and attended Hasty Elementary, Ledford Middle, and Ledford High School (Go Panthers!).

She didn’t always appreciate the small-town vibe and moved to Wilmington, NC. There she attended UNCW and obtained a BA in Communication Studies. At the end of those four years, she was ready to go back to her roots and was able to convince her college sweetheart, now husband, to leave his hometown of Raleigh and join her in High Point. Their family now lives just over the Davidson County Line in Shadow Valley with their two precious children Mary Claire (4) and Baker (2) and a small pack of pets (Winnie, Ella, Bean, and Sprinkles).

In the years after college, she worked in Advertising Sales and then Insurance Sales. She loved the challenges of working in the sales world but felt like something was missing. She and her husband bought their first home and boy was it a fixer-upper. After that very eye-opening experience, she became fascinated with Real Estate. Getting her Real Estate License felt like a natural choice. She enrolled in Superior School of Real Estate in August of 2015 and began her career at Allen Tate in December of 2015 and never looked back.

When Mary Powell asked me to join Delille Home, it felt like the perfect fit and I’m excited to see all that is in store for us. I am truly passionate about helping my clients reach their goals, whether you’re a first time home buyer, a family who needs to expand or downsize, or an investor buying your next project, I enjoy being a guide through the process.

High Point is her home base but over the last five years, Alison has explored and sold homes from East Bend to Burlington and everywhere in between. There will always be challenges but she prides herself on making each transaction as pleasant and smooth as possible.

The Real Estate market is dynamic and it’s important to stay informed. There is more to that than reading market stats and running reports. Being involved in this community helps give her an edge on things that are happening that could also impact the market. She stays connected not only because it’s my job but also because she cares. This is her way of making a difference in people’s lives, selling homes in her hometown.
