Carey Rivers, Realtor, Angela Drum Team Realtors

Carey Rivers, Realtor, Angela Drum Team Realtors Senior Managing Real Estate Broker, Angela Drum Team Realtors I have lived in the Triangle Area in several locations for 13 years. I am a North Carolina girl.

I was born in Great Falls, Montana and moved back to NC a few days later when my father was discharged from the Air Force. I have lived all over the state but primarily Eastern NC until my move to the Triangle. My hometown in Greenville, NC and I am proud to be a Pirate! Go ECU! I spent the first few years after college teaching elementary school and education for children is a passion of mine. I

have 3 school age children of my own so I try and stay very abreast of things with Wake County Schools and preschool programs in the area. I spent 13 years in medical sales and am very well versed in the medical community in the Triangle Area for many areas of medicine. I am extremely involved in various community organizations and activities and pride myself on having a pulse on the Triangle.

Real talk: renting isn’t “throwing money away”
—
sometimes it’s exactly the right move. But you deserve
the honest math on YOUR number, not a guilt trip. So I
did it by hand 👇 Five years of rent = $120,000… and $0 of
it is yours. I built free, no-pressure calculators that show
you where your rent actually goes, what a down payment
would really take, and how to save while you rent. No
sales pitch, promise. Comment RENT and I’ll send them
over!

If you could pick up and move anywhere in 2026 —
where would you go? It’s the daydream I hear
constantly as a realtor.
And here’s the honest answer: there’s no wrong state
— only the wrong move for your situation. The trouble
is, most people fall in love with a ranking before they
know what they’re actually comparing.
So I made this. Swipe through for the 10 best states to
buy a home in 2026 → ranked by the things that
actually matter: affordability, job growth, taxes, and
long-term housing demand.
A few things that surprised me:→ Indiana ranked the
#1 market to buy — proof you don’t have to leave the
Midwest to find real value.→ “No income tax” states
made the list, but insurance and other costs can
quietly eat those savings.→ Rising inventory in places
like Florida means buyers finally have negotiating
room again.
No state is “better” They’re just different — and you
deserve to run the real numbers before you fall for a
pretty ranking.
If a move is even a maybe for you this year, I put
together a free Relocation Ready Guide → the hidden
costs nobody talks about, how to time selling and
buying across state lines, and how your equity help sets your budget there.

Before any out-of-state move, you need the full picture:
insurance, taxes, selling costs, and what your current home is actually worth right now. That last one decides
everything else.If a move is even a maybe for you this
year, comment MOVE and I’ll send you my free Relocation
Ready Guide — plus I can connect you with a great agent
in any of the 50 states. No pressure, no spam — just the
smart way to plan it.

Fridays are for referrals. I spent most of yesterday in Zoom meetings with two new sets of buyer meeting that are relocating to the Triangle from the Queen City and getting them set up for success. I never take referrals lightly. The fact that repeat agents trust me with their former clients or friends are thoughtful enough to share my name as a trusted source. Never gets old! Remember it is so crucial who you hire to help you in this process. If you are ready reach out and let’s talk! ☎️ 🖊️

Thinking about building a new home in the Triangle? Save
this before you step foot in a model home. ☀
New construction can be amazing — but the process is
built to favor the builder, not you. These 5 things protect
your money and your peace of mind:
The rep works for the builder, not you. Upgrades are
where they profit. Their lender isn’t your only choice. The
lot matters as much as the house. And timelines almost
always slip.
I put the full breakdown — plus the top 10 questions to
ask, builder pressure tactics to watch for, and what
buyers overlook in model homes — into a free New
Construction Insiders Guide.

There’s a movie quote I come back to way too often.
It starts with: “I hate the way you talk to me…” and ends with: “But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you. Not even close. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.”

And honestly? That’s kind of how I feel about real estate. 🏡

I love this industry. I love what a well-planned listing can do for a family — the equity it unlocks, the next chapter it funds, the relief of finally being able to move forward.

But I’d be lying if I said there aren’t things about how some homes get listed that drive me absolutely crazy.

Because here’s the truth most people don’t realize:
The difference between a home that sells in 7 days at top dollar and one that sits for 90 days with price reductions is almost never the house itself.

It’s the strategy behind it.
The pricing.
The photos.
The marketing.
The plan for week 2 and week 4.
The conversations happening BEFORE the sign goes in the yard.

Too many sellers are told to “just put it on the market and see what happens.”
That’s not a strategy. That’s hope.

So in honor of one of the greatest 90s rom-com monologues of all time, I put together my own version:

10 Things I Hate About How Most Homes Get Listed — and more importantly, the questions every seller should ask before hiring a listing agent.

Because your home deserves more than just being uploaded to the MLS. It deserves a real plan.

Comment “LIST” and I’ll send it over. ✨
