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.

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!

Kate, Meagan, and the Carlton Realty Co team were great to us! Selling our home on short notice to be able to relocate for jobs. We felt priority as an open house was held frequently until an offer was obtained, in under 2 weeks! Kate helped with negotiations to save us money and get us to the closing table as quick as possible. Kate also got us in touch with another KW relator out of state to help us with our relocation! Meagan is super organized and got us all the documents and information quickly. IHighly recommended Carlton Realty Co!
