About Gretchen

Gretchen Coley is a trailblazer in Raleigh's luxury real estate market, serving as the Founding Principal of Compass North Carolina and leader of The Coley Group, the #1 Compass team in the Triangle. With more than $2 billion in sales and over 3,000 successful transactions, she has built her reputation on concierge-level service, innovative marketing, and a clear mission: showing Raleigh's best through every client experience.

As Founder and CEO of Best of Raleigh, Gretchen has expanded her vision beyond real estate to celebrate the city's businesses, people, and lifestyle. What began as a podcast has grown into a trusted digital destination, helping both newcomers and longtime residents discover how to live well in Raleigh through curated storytelling and recommendations.

A dedicated wife and mother of three children currently attending college across the country (from Stanford University to UNC Wilmington and NC State) Gretchen has connections that span from Silicon Valley to the heart of Raleigh.

Her commitment to North Carolina extends into public service through her appointment to the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, where she contributes her insight and leadership to the state's continued growth. This work underscores her belief that real estate is more than transactions; it's about building relationships, elevating experiences, and showing the very best of Raleigh at every turn.
