"Working with Katie, Courtney and the team was wonderful! They have the Raleigh experience, background and perspective that is super helpful throughout the process. We were selling a house from across the country and needed a lot more hands on help at the property and they were great with all of it! Could not recommend more highly! - Sulli C."

"Katie was great to work with and understanding my wants and needs in purchasing my home. We had some set backs with a couple of different houses but Katie stayed positive and at the end of the day, we found the perfect house for me and my kids. Thanks Katie! - Chris N."

"5/5 Would absolutely recommend Katie! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the Raleigh real estate market (no one knows better than a local!). She went above and beyond as our realtor, driving us around different neighborhoods to point out the best locations based on our criteria. She's also super patient - we were looking for a unicorn of a house, and she patiently showed us dozens of houses and stuck with us through the process until we found the perfect home! Thanks Katie! - Claire W."

"We met Katie at an open house we were just browsing. We instantly connected. We told her what we were looking for and the locations. The compass site made searching for houses easy. Katie brought us on many showings. She was a champ and had no problem driving around apex/holly springs/fuquay. She even helped watched our kids while we toured. Our kids love Katie! We found a great opportunity and we both navigated a new type of sale and it all went quickly and smoothly. We will definitely recommend Katie to anyone who is looking. We can’t wait to have her over after our renovations are complete :) - Breanna B."

She was so helpful with all my questions and was available any time I needed her. I would definitely recommend Katie and would absolutely use her again! - Amanda"

"Katie was very helpful throughout the home buying process for us as first-time buyers. She knows our area well, and we ended up in a home that checked all of our boxes and then some. We will absolutely use Katie again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone in the greater Raleigh area!"

"Simply put, Katie is awesome. She is an exceptional real estate agent and person. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in purchasing our first home. Her positive attitude and professionalism made a potentially stressful process go smoothly. Katie is incredibly diligent and always went above and beyond to find any answers we needed. Additionally, her team proved to be a valuable asset, providing support and expertise when needed. We cannot recommend her enough!" - Justin C.

About Katie

Welcome! My name is Katie O'Neal, and I want to be your Realtor! What sets me apart comes down to my "why". My roots run deep in North Carolina, I am a 5th generation Raleigh local and a 3rd generation Raleigh realtor. I know this city like the back of my hand, and I'm passionate about sharing its charm, history, and lifestyle with others. . Whether buying selling or just exploring, you can count on me as your Realtor to be your trusted, local expert.

After graduation I began working in technology sales for 6 years. During this time I gained valuable business skills, developed my strengths, and built lifelong relationships. Despite these successes I yearned for a more meaningful career, one that made a real difference and brought value to peoples everyday lives. The best decision I've ever made was leaving the safety of corporate America to pursue the challenge of a new career, proudly continuing my family’s legacy in Raleigh real estate.

Naturally, I have a very deep appreciation for Raleigh's history, growth, and people. For example: Most people know Moore Square for it's charming cobblestone streets, I know it as the 1920's location of the old farmers market where my grandmother went every weekend as a little girl. The historic Montague building is now home to Cafe Luna, but it used to be the home of my grandfathers first business. Oakwood Cemetery is more than a landmark—it’s where my ancestors rest, a poignant reminder of my connection to this community. 

With my extensive local knowledge, I specialize in matching people with neighborhoods that suit their lifestyle and needs. Think of me as your neighborhood matchmaker, here to make the process not only stress-free but genuinely enjoyable and fun! I want to help you discover the Raleigh I love—its welcoming neighborhoods, hidden gems, and endless opportunities. When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring Raleigh on foot. A typical Saturday afternoon for me is going on a long walk exploring downtown eclectic coffee shops, munching at buzzy restaurants, popping into a museum, or meeting my friends at our go-to secret wine bar! 

Finding the perfect home is about more than just a transaction—it’s about building a foundation for your future. With my dedication, local expertise, and heartfelt passion for helping people, I’m the realtor you can trust to make your vision a reality. Let’s connect and start this exciting journey together. Reach out today—I can’t wait to work with you!
