As we close out another incredible year in Triangle real estate, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on everything that made 2025 so special. From record-breaking months to meaningful community connections, this year reminded us why we love what we do, and more importantly, why we love the people we do it with.
Here’s a look back at the highlights, milestones, and moments that defined The Coley Group in 2025.
New Team Photo, 2025
By the Numbers: 2025 at a Glance
This year, our team showed up. Every single day. The numbers tell the story:
- Over 50,000 phone calls made to connect with clients, answer questions, and provide support
- 6,900 new connections added to our network, new relationships that we’re honored to nurture
- May 2025: $27,643,800 in contracts, our highest contract month ever
- October 2025: $24,603,353 in closings, our highest closing month of the year
Referral Network Growth
Our referral network continued to thrive in 2025, a testament to the trust our clients and colleagues place in us:
- 67 incoming referrals, clients entrusted to us by agents across the country
- 32 outgoing referrals, connecting our clients with trusted partners nationwide
Every referral represents trust, and we never take that lightly.
Community Events & Education
One of the greatest joys of 2025 was bringing our community together, whether to learn, celebrate, or simply connect.
Client Appreciation & Networking Events
In January, we hosted Breakfast at The Highlands, a wonderful morning spent networking, sharing stories, and starting the year with gratitude. Our Galentine’s Day celebration at Skin Pharm was a hit, bringing together the incredible women in our community for a day of pampering and connection.
We also partnered with Marta’s and Glow de Vie Med Spa for a special event that combined great food, self-care, and community, the perfect trifecta.
As the leaves started to fall, we hosted a fun-filled day at Hill Ridge Farm! Watch the recap below.
Compass Events
Our team took full advantage of Compass Retreats throughout the year, opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with top agents from across the country. We also proudly hosted the Women of Compass Event at Midtown, featuring a financial wellness panel. While titled “Women of Compass,” this event was open to all, because financial empowerment has no boundaries.
Best of Raleigh Events
This past summer, we hosted the launch event for The Best of Raleigh, bringing together valued partners and community members for an unforgettable time.
Seeing the strong desire for meaningful connection and intentional networking, we gathered our growing Best of Raleigh community once again, this time in the new Makers’ Alley at North Hills. Watch the evening unfold below.
Inside The Coley Group: Team Culture
Behind every successful transaction is a team that genuinely loves working together. Here’s how we invested in our people this year:
TCG Team Awards
We gathered to celebrate individual achievements and recognize the hard work that often happens behind the scenes. These awards aren’t just about numbers, they’re about heart, dedication, and showing up for each other.
Book Club: Unreasonable Hospitality
From October through December, our team dove into Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara. This book challenged us to think bigger about service, to find those unexpected moments where we can go above and beyond for our clients. The discussions were rich, and the takeaways have already started shaping how we approach every interaction.
Monthly VIP Lunches with Gretchen
Each month, team members joined Gretchen for intimate VIP lunches, time set aside to connect, share ideas, and strengthen the bonds that make our team feel like family.
Holiday Party
We wrapped up 2025 with our annual Holiday Party, a night filled with laughter, gratitude, and celebration. There’s nothing quite like ending the year surrounded by the people who made it all possible.
Giving Back
Giving back is at the heart of everything we do, and this year our community impact took many meaningful forms.
From supporting brave North Carolina firefighters through Jalen Snipes’ incredible 150 plus mile run, to contributing a portion of every closing to the Realtor Giving Network, each donation reflects a shared commitment to care, compassion, and action. We were honored to champion causes close to home like Fitch Pediatric Rehab and Ginger Peters’ Road to Recovery, while also extending support during times of urgent need through Compass Cares Wildfire Relief and family-focused fundraisers.
Total Community Giving: $15,825
This snapshot represents more than numbers, it reflects intentional generosity, local impact, and a deep commitment to supporting people and causes that strengthen our community.

Looking Ahead to 2026
As we step into 2026, we carry with us the lessons, relationships, and momentum from an extraordinary year. We’re more committed than ever to providing luxury service at every price point, staying deeply connected to the communities we serve, and continuing to raise the bar for what real estate can be.
