    About Kate Carlton

    Born and raised in Cary, NC, Kate Carlton is no stranger to the growth the Triangle area has experienced in the last 20+ years. Kate started her real estate career as a Buyer's Agent with Nina Parker Realty Group in 2015 before branching out onto her own as a solo agent in 2015. She started her team, Carlton Realty Co. in 2022, and is looking forward to continuing to lead the team and helping each member achieve their own goals. Kate has received awards including National Association of Realtors 30 Under 30, and Triangle Real Producer Magazine's Rising Star 2021, and is a member of KW's Luxury Division. In true entrepreneurial fashion, Kate helped to launch the KW Triangle Young Professionals chapter, eventually becoming President, and putting the Triangle on the map for the top 25 Chapters nationally. She's also an investor in the Apex Market Center and Legacy Resources, has been part of the ALC, and she's a real estate investor with a growing portfolio. Outside of real estate, Kate can be found having fun and spending quality time with her daughter, Willow, and her husband, Stephen. She's an ECU graduate (Go Pirates!), and lover of all things wine and fashion. Whether it's sipping a beer at a local brewery, drinking coffee at a locally owned spot, or shopping the local boutiques, you'll often find Kate supporting local businesses in the community her team serves.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Kate and her team over the past three months. From our first meeting to sell our house, I knew that Kate was locked in and ready to work for me. On the day that our house was listed and I read the description of our home, I almost cried because Kate had captured everything that I loved most about the house. We were under contract in UNDER ONE WEEK! Then it was crunch time to find my next home. Kates representation was invaluable in making sure I was making the best decisions along the way. And during the whole process, Meagan was ensuring that all the fine details were being handled to make sure that all of the paperwork was done and on schedule. Two closings in under two months and not a single hiccup. Thank you Kate and Meagan!

    Kate, Meagan and the Carlton Realty team are best of the best!! They helped us finally purchase our first home and we are beyond thrilled with the process. Kate goes over and beyond for her clients and even got more repairs and updates done that I never thought the sellers would agree to. We recommend them to everyone we talk to about buying a house and will always use Carlton Realty in the future!! Thank you for helping make our dreams come true.

    Weve used Kate and her team in the past. We were looking to sell our house and buy a new one. It wasnt a question who our realtor team would be. We would use Carlton Realty Co again and again. From their advertising, commitment, support and kindness to their passion, go get em attitude, and drive. Meagan was so organized with emails and sending documents. We are thankful for her! Kate was very responsive and the calm to my storm when I needed her support. All around - the best team! We could not be happier with our home selling and buying process. Thanks yall!

    Kate and her team helped me sell my Fuquay home and purchase a home in Cary in 2023, and they were so incredible that I didnt consider trusting anyone else with the sale of my Cary home this summer. I had to make a quick move out of state for my husbands work, so Kate and Meagan went above and beyond with communication and logistics to handle the listing and sale of my home. They were a joy to work with, and I felt very comfortable trusting them with the process. I am so grateful to work with Carlton Realty Co, taking the stress out of a typically stressful process. Highly, highly recommend to anyone buying or selling in the Triangle!
