About Nicole Locklear

Nicole, raised in a military family, has experienced life across various global locations, yet she proudly considers North Carolina her true home. She obtained her real estate license in 1999 and has since built a successful career with some of the Triangle's most prominent real estate firms. Throughout her journey, Nicole recognized the necessity for adaptability in the industry and sought to establish a company that prioritizes the needs of clients and the community over mere profits. This vision led to the founding of NCRE Group Inc. in 2007. With over 18 years of real estate expertise in the Triangle Area, Nicole is dedicated to fostering lasting relationships and investing in both her clients and her community.

Outside of her professional commitments, Nicole cherishes quality time with her husband, Jay, of 17 years, their two sons, and their diverse array of pets, including a dog, a cat, a turtle, and exotic ducks.

Wake County, North Carolina stands as one of the Southeast's most dynamic real estate markets, anchored by Raleigh's thriving tech corridor and the prestigious Research Triangle Park. This rapidly growing region has attracted major corporations like Apple, Google, and Amazon, creating unprecedented demand for both residential and commercial properties across diverse price points.

The county's real estate landscape is supported by an impressive network of 13,792 total actively licensed agents, with complete email accessibility across this entire professional base. This robust agent concentration reflects the market's complexity and opportunity, serving everything from luxury estates in North Hills to affordable starter homes in outlying communities like Zebulon and Wendell.

Major Wake County, North Carolina Real Estate Markets

Raleigh dominates as the county's primary market, with distinct neighborhoods like downtown's warehouse district experiencing dramatic urban renewal, while established areas like Five Points and Oakwood maintain their historic charm. Cary has emerged as a premium suburban destination, consistently ranking among America's best places to live, driving luxury home sales above $800,000. Meanwhile, Apex and Holly Springs represent the county's fastest-growing suburban markets, attracting young families with new construction and top-rated schools.

The Research Triangle's influence extends beyond Raleigh's city limits, with Morrisville and Garner benefiting from proximity to RTP employers and Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Wake Forest has transformed from a small college town into a sought-after suburban community, while Fuquay-Varina offers a unique blend of historic downtown charm and modern development. Each market operates with distinct pricing dynamics, inventory levels, and buyer demographics.

Market Dynamics and Geographic Complexity

Wake County's real estate market defies simple categorization, with micro-markets varying dramatically within short distances. Downtown Raleigh condos can command $400+ per square foot, while similar properties in Knightdale might sell for half that amount. The county's rapid population growth—adding roughly 20,000 residents annually—has created persistent inventory shortages in desirable school districts, particularly in West Cary and North Raleigh.

Surprisingly, the market shows strong performance across all segments, from first-time buyer condos under $200,000 to luxury estates exceeding $2 million. Corporate relocations drive significant activity in the $300,000-$600,000 range, while local move-up buyers fuel demand in established neighborhoods. The presence of three major universities adds rental market complexity, creating opportunities in student housing and investment properties.

Why Businesses Need Wake County, North Carolina Agent Contact Data

The county's 13,792 actively licensed agents represent diverse specializations essential for business success—from corporate relocation specialists serving RTP companies to luxury agents handling executive transfers. Mortgage lenders, home improvement companies, and insurance providers need direct access to this agent network to capitalize on Wake County's sustained growth trajectory and high transaction volumes.

With complete email coverage across all licensed agents, businesses can efficiently segment their outreach by geographic focus, price range expertise, or client type. Whether targeting new construction specialists in Apex, downtown condo experts in Raleigh, or luxury market agents in Cary, having comprehensive contact data enables precise marketing campaigns that drive measurable results in this competitive, high-opportunity market.
