I grew up in a small Tennessee town near Memphis. Raised with a strong work ethic and value system, I believe you treat others as you want to be treated.
With a B.A. in Communication Design from the University of Tennessee, I worked as an ad agency art director, graphic designer, and in marketing and sales prior to making my career change into real estate. Real estate was a natural career move for me with my background, my passion for helping people and my love for houses and design.
I am doggedly determined to do the best job for my clients. I take them by the hand and guide them through the many decisions involved in selling or buying a house to put more money in their pockets with the smoothest, hassle free experience possible. What I enjoy most about real estate is forming relationships with people and having the privilege of helping them make wise decisions about the largest financial purchase of their lives. As a Strategic Pricing Specialist, I educate clients on current market conditions and competition so they have a pricing strategy to get the most net for heir house.
I’ve lived in Atlanta, Knoxville and Chapel Hill before moving to Raleigh and after thirty plus years I am proud to call it my home. This area is exceptional not only for career opportunities, but for our cultural, sports and recreational options available. My husband, Cary Strickland, and I enjoy boating and fishing on our wealth of lakes, rivers and beautiful coastline, all close by.
I support the NC Museum of Art, Convoy of Hope, and Wounded Warrior Project as well as local initiatives like Journey Bags for WAke County foster children. Youth missions are important to me and I support sending youth to help people in North Carolina and around the globe.
Wow-they did it again! And this one wasn’t so easy. Cary and Carolyn provided market sensitive suggestions, and changing market adjustments along the way. The 2025 market presented different challenges and buyer priorities. We were able to respond to those challenges in a very timely manner due to Cary and Carolyn’s attention to the market and inventory shifts. As always their ability to elicit in depth feedback from agents is of paramount importance and their reputation as responsive and reasonable professionals makes showings and ultimately transactions drama-free. These two experienced individuals are who you want to help you sell or buy.
I can't thank Cary and Carolyn Strickland enough for their help selling our lake house. We really had no idea how much it was worth or where to start. They were professional, extremely knowledgeable and very prompt. I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to use their services in the future for any realestate transactions. Thank you both!
In the rush of all this I don't think we ever properly thanked you for your help with selling our home. We are so thankful you were our realtor, keeping us on track and staying on top of everything that had to be done! You truly went above and beyond for us, especially in regards to the unexpected water damage work that had to be done. I still can't believe you got our neighbors to sign the ARC paperwork within 48 hours!
