The Gretchen Coley and Coley Group experience was perfect.

We felt 100% supported from our introductory meeting all the way through and beyond closing. Gretchen and her team were extremely patient with us and masterful in navigating what seemed like an impossible seller's market. The closing process was smooth and The Coley Group helped organize move-in projects, utilities, HOA logistics, etc. We couldn't be happier with our home and neighborhood! Thank you Gretchen and Team!

I can’t express enough the amazing experience we had working with the Gretchen and the Coley Group!

Gretchen sold our house in 3 weeks for 400k more than what our realtor last year listed our property. If you’re looking for a concierge experience- this is your team! They organized my estate sale, staged my home, and invested in a true online marketing plan (driven by her own in house marketing team) and provided me with metrics showing their efforts. We finally found a true real estate expert!

We moved from Chicago to North Carolina in mid June.

We started looking end of March & came across this neighborhood survey connected to The Coley Group. We took this & a realtor named Carly reached out to us & everything took off from there. We received personalized recommendations for neighborhoods, houses & ways of life we were interested in. We were introduced to Compass where we browsed hundreds of houses & eventually created a list of homes we loved & booked the trip to NC. Carly was awesome and put together 3 full days of showings in the 3 areas we were looking at. By the second day we found a home we loved, put in an offer & it was accepted by the end of the day We wouldn't have been able to do ANY of this without Carly & The Coley group; especially while living in Chicago. They tailored everything to our needs & have kept in touch even post move from free pizza delivery to a housewarming gift (wine, glasses etc.). We couldn't have asked for a better transition & they made it possible!!

10 out of 10.

I would say that this experience purchasing a new place (and listing my current residence) was/is what it should be, what everyone should experience and what other Real Estate agencies aspire to provide. Gretchen and her team covered every base. She personally took time to call me directly on a holiday weekend and listened to my situation. Ryley (an Agent at The Coley Group / Compass Realty) was my direct contact. She communicated, set clear expectations, followed through, and fought for me to get the best possible deal on my new home. She was patient and understanding and along with Paul, an in house mortgage contact, helped me close in 30 days. They also helped me get my current home listed at the same time and I’m currently in the process of getting that accomplished. This was only my third experience ever purchasing a new home and by far the best experience I could have asked for. I am truly thankful for The Coley Group and their approach to residential real estate. If you’re considering a change in residence, you will not find a better experience than working with Gretchen and her team.

We recently completed the purchase of our next home, and we could not be more grateful for the incredible experience we had with The Coley…

We had a unique and personal property and among all the agents we spoke to, we immediately felt a personality match with Jessie.

She understood what made our home special and was honest about the challenges we might face, but she was enthusiastically up for the task. When our closing was in serious jeopardy, Jessie went above and beyond providing solutions and ensuring we were prepared for every eventuality, empowering and supporting us to make informed decisions during what can be an emotional and stressful time. Her experience, relationships, level-headedness and sheer force of will literally saved our sale. If you are selling a home, you need Jessie in your corner.

Great experience!

The Coley Group has quite the staff of experts - Claire took the bull by the horns and really drove the process of selling our home in Pittsboro/Chatham County. She communicated with us and the buyer’s agent effectively and consistently. Claire is a rock star and we cannot thank her enough!

The Coley Group made buying our first home a painless process.

Their team worked all hours to cover each step of the home buying process to make it as easy and simple as possible for us. Grant worked tirelessly to find us the perfect home that checked all of our boxes. We couldn’t be happier with our new home!

We had an amazing experience with the Coley Group throughout our home buying process!

From start to finish, everything was incredibly smooth and organized. As first-time homebuyers, we had many questions, and the entire team was always supportive, knowledgeable, and quick to help us every step of the way. We specifically worked with Ryley, and we truly could not have asked for a better realtor. She advocated for us constantly and pushed to make sure we got the best deal possible. We always felt like she had our best interests in mind. Her communication, professionalism, and attention to detail made such a huge difference during the process. We are so thankful for the Coley Group and all of Ryley’s hard work. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!!

They are awesome - very knowledgeable, professional and organized.

We worked with Carly Davis Redfern at the Coley Group, and she couldn't have been a better choice. The whole process was fantastic. If you're looking to buy a home, go with the Carly and the Coley Group!

Gretchen executed a very thought out and excellent marketing strategy that resulted in the sale of my property in just over three weeks.

Her and her team are very professional and very organized. If you are looking to sell your home definitely give her a call.

Gretchen is the best.

Very thoughtful. Direct, and proven accurate in laying the framework in pre market to get homes sold quickly! 17 days!

Working with The Coley Group was an outstanding experience from start to finish.

They successfully sold my home in a very short period of time and secured the full asking price, which exceeded my expectations. Their staging was exceptional and truly showcased the home’s best features, making it stand out in the market. In addition, they provided valuable marketing insights and strategic guidance that clearly made a difference in attracting strong buyers quickly. The entire process was smooth, professional, and well-managed. I am extremely pleased with the results and would highly recommend The Coley Group to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Their expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering results truly set them apart.

There were homes sitting in our neighborhood for months and we had literally 60 days to sell our home, Jesse and team sat down with us and gave us the lowdown.

At times, it wasn’t information that we wanted to hear, but Jesse and team kept it realistic we came to a reasonable compromise place the house on the market and within eight days we had multiple offers. It’s all about listening with an open mind to your Realtor! Thank you, Jesse! You are amazing, by the way this is the second house that Jesse has sold for us! It’s all about the return customer😎

I can't say enough good things about working with the Coley Group in buying and selling our home!

Seren McClain and Devin Curlings were incredibly helpful in getting us under contract on our dream house and getting our old house sold in a short weekend. They both are so much fun to work with and have amazing teams supporting them. Thank you Seren and Devin for everything you did for my family!

Elly Young · Nov 2025
As first-time homebuyers, my partner and I were nervous about diving into the process, especially me.

Jessie immediately put us at ease. She understood how emotional and overwhelming buying a home can be and made sure I felt informed and supported every step of the way. Jessie is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a great teacher. She explained things clearly, offered honest and unbiased advice, and never made us feel pressured. I always felt like she was truly on our team, looking out for our best interests. She seemed to know exactly what we needed and when we needed it, which made the experience smooth and even enjoyable. I’d recommend Jessie to anyone, but especially to fellow first-time buyers. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!

5 stars is not enough for the work and commitment she put to make my dream become true.

I wanna name Carly Davis, and excellent and great realtor, professional and very knowledgeable. Is that possible to give 10 stars or 20? I'mma find a way. A great person, no matter the time, you have a question, she has an answer, and even she doesn't have it she will go find it the answer just to help you accomplish your dream. Thanks, Carly, because of you I did it.

My soon-to-be wife and I are shopping for a new home in Raleigh and have talked with Parker about the Raleigh real estate market.

He is the BEST and most helpful, and we will certainly be in contact with the Coley Group for our real estate needs as we find our new home.

Spencer Harris · Sep 2025
The Coley group was great to work with on both buying and selling a houses this year.

Parker was responsive and professional and did an excellent job of helping us get through both transactions seamlessly. I would definitely recommend Parker and the Coley group and we'd use them again for sure.
