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.

Kate and her team were exactly what we needed in a selling agent. She helped handle everything with a smile, offered help with things we didnt even know we needed help with, never made us feel rushed or like a bother for reaching out. She helped organize donations for me as well, and I couldnt be more thankful! Id definitely use Kate again in the future.

We had an exceptional experience working with Meredith, Meagan, and the entire Carlton Realty Co team. They transformed the daunting journey of being first-time home buyers into a seamless and enjoyable process. Meredith's work ethic is unmatched; she went above and beyond, accommodating our schedule with late-night and weekend showings. She skillfully negotiated with the sellers to ensure we secured the best possible deal. The team kept us well-informed and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend working with this team for your next real estate venture!

As first time home buyers, the home buying process was daunting and scary at first, but Meredith and Meagan helped make the process as smooth as possible. Meredith was incredibly helpful getting us into the homes we wanted to see and jumping on making showing appointments for houses as quickly as possible as they came on the market. She was always responsiveness no matter what time of day. Meredith helped us put in a winning offer the first weekend we were viewing houses and on the first house we put an offer on. After our offer was accepted, Meredith and Meagan were there to walk us through the closing process every step off the way - helping us set up inspections, walking us through all the paperwork, and negotiating repairs with the seller. Meagan's organization made sure we were up to date on every step of the closing process. Thank you for helping make our first home buying experience a success and as stress free as possible!

I had a wonderful experience working with Kate from Carlton Realty co. She was attentive, saw countless homes with me, and really went to bat for me when I found my dream home but came up against some road blocks. She advocated for me, helped me get resources I needed before and after I closed, and made the process a lot more fun! I'm so grateful!

We met Kate when we just started exploring the idea of moving to the Raleigh area. Even though we met with her very early in buying process, when we didn't know what we were looking for or when we would purchase, she was so patient with us and always so generous with her time. We were relocating to Raleigh from New Jersey, so we wouldn't be able to travel for showings often. But when we did, Kate was so accommodating of our schedule and would pack in as many showings as possible on short weekend trips. There were times we traveled Raleigh last minute, and even with short notice, Kate made sure someone from her all-star team was there to meet us. In addition to Kate, we worked quite a bit with Imagene and Meagan who were also extremely helpful, knowledgable, and available round-the-clock to answer our questions. A little over a year after our first phone call, we were able to close on our dream house in Apex, NC after making our first offer! Negotiations were quick, and Kate navigated us through a competitive, multi-offer situation. We can't thank Kate and her team enough for making this possible. I'd recommend Carlton Realty to any home buyer looking in Wake County!
