Built Different.

Meet Katie Dunlap

Every great story starts with a fresh chapter. For me, that began last fall when I moved from Pittsburgh to Cary. Having navigated a multi-state move myself, I know that planting roots is about more than just a house—it’s about finding the right stage for your family’s future.

I learned the hard way that some things shouldn't be DIY. After an 8-hour IKEA marathon, I realized I’d built my new TV stand entirely backward! My mom eventually stepped in to save me from the pile of Allen wrenches. That lesson stuck: Always have the right expert in your corner when things get complicated. I still have that TV stand, but I leave the complex logistics to the pros.

My background isn't typical for an agent, and that’s my greatest strength! With a degree in Child Development and Family Studies and years of experience as an Early Childhood educator and professional nanny, I see homes through a different lens. I don't just look at square footage; I look at safety, functionality for growing kids, and the "flow" a busy parent needs to keep a household running.

When I’m not helping families find their dream homes:

• On Stage: As a professional actress (look for me on Netflix and Paramount+!) and a performer in local Triangle community theatre.
• In the Community: Volunteering with the Kiwanis of Greater Cary.
• In the Books: Staying ahead of market trends and contract law to ensure my clients are protected by the highest industry standards.

My philosophy is simple: I treat your move with the same care I’d give my own family. Whether you are relocating from out of state or looking for a newer, turn-key home right here in town, I am here to ensure your transaction is smooth, successful, and "backward TV stand" free.
