New to Raleigh or thinking of making the move? Here are some common mistakes to steer clear of so you can live like a local:

❄️ Assuming Raleigh doesn’t get cold in the winter – Be prepared for snow or cold snaps!

🚗 Not knowing where to park downtown – Ending up with a parking ticket is never fun.

🚌 Believing Raleigh has reliable public transportation everywhere – You’ll need a car to get around most places.

🌸 Underestimating the impact of pollen season – Don’t forget to prepare for allergies and keep your car and home pollen-free.

🌊 Ignoring flood-prone areas when choosing a home – Some areas flood, so do your homework (@the_wrealestategroup can help find the best location for your needs)

🏞️ Not taking advantage of Raleigh’s free outdoor activities – There are so many parks, greenways, and events to enjoy.

🍽️ Overlooking the importance of early reservations – Book early for popular restaurants and events, especially during busy seasons.

🏫 Not researching school district boundaries when buying a home – This can make a big difference in your home search.

🚶‍♂️ Assuming every neighborhood in Raleigh is walkable – Some areas require a car to access basic amenities.

☀️Forgetting to plan for summer heat and humidity – Know where to go to cool off when temps rise!

I thought I knew everything about Raleigh until this happened…

I discovered Lassiter Mill Park, a stunning waterfall nestled right in the heart of North Hills. 

It feels like a secret hideaway, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. So even in a busy area like Midtown Raleigh, there are hidden gems waiting to be uncovered, offering a peaceful escape in the beauty of nature. 

Did you know about this hidden gems?

📈 Since 2020, I successfully grew a Facebook group to 12,000 engaged members by consistently providing valuable content, fostering community interaction, and sharing local insights. 

✅ This approach not only established me as a trusted expert in my area but also created a strong platform for networking and lead generation. 

By nurturing relationships within the group and positioning myself as a go-to resource for real estate advice, I was able to convert buyer leads effectively, 💵 resulting in over $250 million in real estate sales. 

This journey has transformed my business and solidified my reputation in the local market.

Spending an afternoon in Raleigh? Start with a delicious coffee from one of our local roasters, then take a stroll through Nash or Moore Square to soak up the City of Oaks feel. Next, take your pick of several popular museums, including the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and the North Carolina Museum of History, both conveniently located along Fayetteville Street. You’ll also find the Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) Raleigh and Marbles Kids Museum, which offers interactive exhibits for families. Grab an afternoon bite at City Market (Vic’s Ristorante is one of the best spots in town for pizza) or head up to Beasley’s for southern fare. Walk by the historic State Capitol. Cap it all off by catching a breathtaking skyline view at The Dillon or 10th and Terrace and then winding down the evening with craft cocktails at the hidden speakeasy, The Greenlight.

@theshinydiner in #raleighnc brings me back to my childhood and sparks nostalgia. 

Stepping inside, the retro chrome and neon lights transport me back to Saturday nights as a kid. I remember enjoying their massive milkshakes and  chocolate chip pancakes that seemed to melt in my mouth. 

But even now, @theshinydiner remains a beloved gem and there’s nothing else like it in the Raleigh area.

Have you been to The Shiny Diner?
