Bio

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 has loved leading 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 KW Apex Market Center and Legacy Resources, has been part of the Agent Leadership Council, 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 Southern Peak Brewery, drinking coffee at Common Grounds, or shopping the local boutiques, you’ll often find Kate supporting local businesses in the community her team serves.

Testimonials

  • My husband and I used Kate Carlton and her team to sell our first home and buy another. After I followed Kate on Instagram, she immediately reached out to me. We were able to set up a meeting the next day and she walked us through how the selling process typically worked. After hearing our options, we decided on a route that best fit our needs and matched the current market. Buying - Meredith Diamond was our buying agent. She found us our dream home in Holly Springs. She worked with our busy schedules to show us amazing options. After each open house or tour, she would ask us our thoughts and opinions to better fine-tune our search. She was always helpful, communicative, patient, a text or call away, and truly wanting the best for us. Once we decided to make an offer on a home, she did everything she could to get us it - and she did! She was amazing to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home! Selling - Kate Carlton sold our home in a weekend! The listing process was so quick and (dare I say) easy. The professional photographer took amazing photos and the turn around time for the listing was mere hours. Her and her team held 2 open houses and did an amazing job advertising them both. Meagan Moulden, their director of operations, did a thorough and organized job at handling all the paperwork. She was so helpful in explaining to us what we needed to sign and when. Everyone we encountered during this process was incredible to work with. We HIGHLY recommend them all for your selling and buying needs in the triangle. Their knowledge of the market is invaluable and their client service went above and beyond! Thank you Kate and Co!

  • Kate, Meagan, & the whole team were wonderful to work with! They made the first-time-selling process so simple & helped walk me through each step. Communication was prompt, thorough, & professional. I have no hesitation to recommend this team to anyone looking for a real estate company!

  • 5-Star Review for Kate – Outstanding Realtor! Working with Kate to sell our house was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Her prompt communication, excellent negotiation skills, and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. She coordinated staging and repairs with expertise, ensuring our home was presented in the best possible way. Kate even went the extra mile by working with a local charity to donate furniture, allowing us to handle the sale remotely with peace of mind. Her professionalism and dedication truly set her apart. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in selling our home. Highly recommend Kate for anyone looking to sell—she made the process smooth and stress-free! - Nishita and Hemesh

  • My Fiancée and I bought our first home with Carlton Realty and were very happy with the whole process. Kate responded to our requests to tour houses immediately, and helped us make an offer we were comfortable with, and good enough to be accepted. After our offer got accepted Kate & Meagan were both extremely helpful ensuring everything stayed on track and overall the whole home buying process was wicked easy with them. We'd highly recommend Carlton Realty Co to anyone looking to for their next home!

  • As part of our recent relocation back to the northeast, we were referred to Kate and her team by a dear friend who doubles as a highly successful commercial real estate professional spanning the NC. While very rarely does a firm live up to the advanced billing, Kate and her team obliterated those lofty expectations. In addition running a very successful and timely process (her marketing strategy and negotiating tactics led to us yielding 10% more than we anticipated going in on what we felt was already a frothy valuation), she and her team took care of every detail, no matter how big or small, with unparalleled grace, professionalism and transparency. Without a doubt, I would recommend Carlton Realty to handle any and all of your residential real estate needs.
