    Carrie was outstanding. She was very personable, knowledgeable, and with us every step of the way. We were so thankful to have her with us in our house buying experience. If you are looking for a realtor look no further, this is the person you want.

    Absolutely thrilled with the experience we had working with Carrie! We can’t thank her enough for all she did to help my parents through the sale of their very loved home and the purchase of their new one. From start to finish, Carrie went above and beyond. She provided thoughtful and tasteful design recommendations that truly elevated the appeal of their house. She also took charge of managing all the renovations, making the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. When it came time to find their new home, Carrie was an incredible advocate for my parents. Her negotiation skills were top-notch, and she made sure they got the best possible deal. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for her clients really set her apart. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this journey. Highly recommend!

    Carrie is the asset every homebuyer NEEDS during the homebuying/selling process! Her focus during this complicated process is on providing clear communication and service, instilling confidence, and bringing results to her clients. We worked with Carrie to both sell & buy a home during this market and always felt supported in our next decisions. Carrie provided open and honest communication and jumped in to offer recommendations when we weren’t sure how to move forward. Not only did we get more for our former house than we ever expected - but we got 2 offers within 24 hours! From recommended touch ups, guided staging, professional photos - the entire process of selling was seamless. Fast forward to the buying process and Carrie was in our corner! We found our dream house and our offer was accepted within days! The care Carrie carries for her clients is impressive - within 6 months of buying we identified a surprise pre-existing issues that wasn’t documented during the home sale. Carrie was immediately available (responding to texts within minutes!) to push to have the seller pay for an additional inspection and help us understand our next steps. It’s been a phenomenal experience working with Carrie and the service she continues to deliver to her active and post sale clients. Carrie, you’ve been an angel during this stressful process!

    I typically don't give all 5 stars since it sounds fake but I am a real person who hired Carrie Schlegel simply based on a google search and cannot recommend her highly enough. I've purchased and sold multiple homes in the last 20 years in the Raleigh area with various realtors and I can say with complete confidence that Carrie is by far the best realtor I’ve ever worked with. From every step in the process, she has been exceptional. She helped me sell my home quickly and successfully, navigating multiple offers with confidence, clarity, and strong advocacy on my behalf. Her Raleigh-area market knowledge, pricing strategy, staging expertise, and attention to detail made a huge difference in my selling process. I even referred her to a neighbor and she sold that house quickly as well. Beyond the sale, she has continued to be an incredible partner as I search for my next home, which has been a challenge since my needs are unique. She is patient, thoughtful, and incredibly responsive. Most importantly, she has held my hand through every bump in the process while waiting to find my next home. We even walked the neighborhood streets together where I want to live to get a feel for the houses I like. She is professional, kind, and deeply knowledgeable, but what truly sets her apart is how invested she is in her clients. If you want a Raleigh area realtor who will go above and beyond and treat your transaction as if it were her own, she is amazing and absolutely the one to work with.

    Carrie assisted us in finding the perfect community for our relocation from Florida. Her knowledge and professionalism are unparalleled - she helped us with all aspects of negotiating and handling contracts, working with the builder, locating great vendors, understanding the market and region. She stayed engaged with us for over a year as we progressed through several phases of our project, culminating with a home we absolutely love. We can not recommend Carrie highly enough. She is a top notch realtor, and an amazing person as well.

    I have huge respect for Carrie, she's a house wizard. Having worked with other realtors in the Raleigh area, and my search spanning over a year I was becoming bitter towards the whole process of finding a home as a first time home buyer. When I finally started to work with Carrie I could tell she was different. She's thoughtful, experienced, honest, communicative, dedicated and an excellent negotiator. Her insights to the process always kept my values first. I couldn't speak more highly of her!

    Our experience with Core Realty was stellar; from the time we made the decision to list our house, right up through and beyond closing. Carrie and her team saw to our every need. Carrie’s professionalism, integrity, and attention to detail made our move seamless. We moved out of town, and we had to leave a few days before closing in order for some work to be done in our home. Carrie facilitated that work and we felt safe leaving it in her hands. Her team worked tirelessly on our behalf, actually before we signed with them, through closing. and even as we relocated to our new home. Our closing was efficiently handled without us needing to be there!She and her team answered every question we had, and went above and beyond to make what could have been a much more stressful and overwhelming time flow almost effortlessly. We highly recommend Core Realty, and Carrie Schlegel for your buying and selling needs.

    Given the opportunity to sell our house all over again, I wouldn’t have changed anything. The opportunity to work with Carrie Schlegel and the Core Reality Advisors was a pleasurable experience, which they had our best interest in mind. Selling a house in the winter months can be difficult and this team worked many angles, so our house remained active online, social media along with open houses. They were in constant contact with updates with us and they are true professionals. It’s a pleasure to write this review.

    This is the 5th home we've purchased, and by far the best experience we've ever had with a buyer's agent. Carrie has a deep knowledge of this area, which is incredibly helpful when coordinating lenders, inspections, repair estimates for multiple systems in the home, and so much more. She has the rare ability to keep us informed while not overwhelming us with information. She is always one step ahead of the process with communication so we never missed a deadline or were surprised by anything in the process. We're very happy with the price we were able to negotiate, and with Carrie's help we're super excited to move into our new home!

    My wife and I's house was on the market for 6 months with a previous realtor. We were getting very little traffic and literally no offers. Carrie came recommended to us by a friend in the neighborhood. She was very professional from the start and was open and honest with us about what we needed to do to get the house sold. We took the house of the market for 1 month. Did some more preparations and relaunched after Christmas. We had a very great relaunch and had an offer we accepted in 5 days. She facilitated the whole closing that went very smooth. If you want a "Beast" for a Realtor who will go above and beyond what you would expect, Carrie will exceed your expectations. We consider Carrie a very good friend now!

    Carrie is as top notch as they come. Personable and professional, there was not a single moment of the entire process where we did not feel completely at ease knowing that we were in Carrie's capable hands. Our home buying experience was greater than could have even been imagined thanks to Carrie's enthusiasm, confidence and knowledge. The entire team at Core was as good as it gets. It truly felt like they were buying the home with us not for us. A perfect experience.

    Carrie was our realtor for the sale of our current house and purchase of a new build. She is amazing! Honest, ethical, hardworking, always has your best interest in mind, keeps you focused on your priorities, and makes sure you make a good financial decision. She walked us through both processes step by step, always at our side. Carrie is amazing and I highly recommend her. As a matter of fact, I recommended her to my niece and she helped her (first time buyer) purchase a townhouse. Another amazing experience!
  • Chris and Erin Thiele

    Buyer and Seller

    I cannot speak highly enough of Carrie. She served as both Seller's and Buyer's agent for us. She was incredibly responsive, getting us in to see our current house within 24 hours of our request. She was able to help us negotiate a final price well below asking, which was unheard of in the Market we are in, and at the time we were looking. She was incredibly knowledgeable of the area and our needs as well as helping us coordinate contractors for work on the house we were purchasing. But the most impressive part was Carrie doing both her job and the job of Realtor who was representing the people buying our house. She caught multiple errors on their part and seemed to drag the deal across the finish line by sheer force of will while reassuring us the entire time. If you are looking for a Realtor stop and go with Carrie.

    The experience we has with Carrie was fantastic. This was the first time selling a house and she helped us through every step of it. She was honest and to the point. She did an amazing job of setting up all appointments and professionally staging the house. Would highly recommend her for any real-estate deal that you have.
