Huge congratulations to our incredibly talented team at The New Homes Studio.

Infill development in established neighborhoods like North Ridge requires a completely different approach to marketing. You aren't just selling a home; you're selling a highly specific architectural vision.

By ditching the standard sales pamphlet and creating a 50+ page architectural publication for The Poppy and The Sterling, they didn't just market these homes; they elevated the entire buyer experience.

We are so proud to see this innovative work recognized with a 2026 MAME Award for Best Brochure for a Community. Click below to learn more.

The Poppy and The Sterling Designer Lookbooks were created for two newly constructed infill residences in North Ridge, one of Raleigh’s most exclusive communities.

In a setting where new homes are introduced individually rather than through large-scale release, the traditional community brochure no longer applies. These brochures were designed to elevate architecture and design as the defining distinction, not price.

Each piece was developed as a 50+ page architectural publication designed to move through the home the way you actually experience it. Every visible material selection is identified room by room, providing uncommon depth for a community brochure and reinforcing design transparency. The result is a cohesive, highly readable showcase that builds confidence with buyers, brokers, and builder partners alike.

✨ We’re proud to share that this work was recognized with a 2026 MAME Award for Best Brochure for a Community. ✨

A logo is never just a mark; it’s the foundation of a larger marketing system.

When we designed our logo system, we focused on clarity, restraint, and long-term consistency. Every detail, from the typography to the proportions, was built to work seamlessly across digital platforms, print, signage, and property marketing. It’s designed to scale with us while keeping our brand integrity front and center.

We’re proud to announce that this intentional design just won the 2026 MAME Award for Best Logo for a Company, a top honor for marketing excellence from the Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County!

Thank you to our amazing team and clients who inspire us to keep raising the bar.

Raleigh isn’t just a place to live for a few years; it is a place to build a life for decades.

Most cities are great for one chapter, but Raleigh is one of the few that hold their value across all of them. From top-tier K-12 schools to being named a top-25 place to retire by Forbes in 2026, the data shows this region is built for the long game.

🚀 We’re not scaling back. We’re scaling forward.

We just finalized our lease for a brand-new office in North Hills Innovation District (NHID) in Midtown Raleigh, a next‑generation, Class A environment built for high‑performing agents who want more.

While many brokerages are shrinking their footprint, we’re investing in cutting‑edge space, technology, and support so our agents can grow their business in any market.

Here’s what our new NHID office means for agents:

• Modern, light‑filled workspace in a trophy‑level office setting, surrounded by innovation, entrepreneurship, and energy.

• Walkable access to some of Raleigh’s best restaurants, retail, and events in North Hills- perfect for client meetups and lifestyle‑driven business.

• Thoughtful amenities, outdoor workspaces, and inspiring gathering areas designed to support collaboration, content creation, and client experiences.

If your current brokerage is cutting back on support, space, and vision… this is your sign.

Stay tuned for our official move-in date, office reveal, and a calendar full of trainings, masterminds, and events coming to our new NHID home.

👉 DM us “NHID” for a confidential conversation about joining our team and being part of this next chapter.

This home sat for 6+ months.

No momentum. No story.

Then we stepped in.

Same house. Different strategy.

We didn’t just stage it, we rebuilt the entire experience.

• Reworked every furniture layout for flow and function

• Handled the details most agents skip

• Brought the upgrades and features to the forefront

But here’s what actually changed everything:

We made people feel something.

From the second you walk in the layout, the light, even the scent—everything is intentional.

Because buyers don’t just buy homes…

They buy the feeling of “this is where I belong.”

If your listing isn’t selling, it’s not the market.

It’s the marketing. 🎤 😎

Baby boomers accounted for 42% of buyers—the highest of any other age group, according to NAR’s 2026 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends Report. Their soaring home equity from decades of ownership may be freeing them to be more agile than other age groups who are struggling to afford higher home prices.
