Karen Dupree Williams has been a licensed real estate professional since 2001 and is the owner, founder, and team lead of Triangle to Coast Realty at eXp Realty. With more than two decades of experience across residential sales, property management, and investment real estate, Karen is known for combining sharp market insight with steady, thoughtful guidance—especially in complex or high-stakes transactions. Karen works with buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Wake, Harnett, and Johnston Counties, as well as North Carolina’s coastal markets. Having lived in the area her entire life, she brings a long-range perspective to pricing, negotiation, and strategy, helping clients stay focused on the big picture while making confident, well-informed decisions. Her background in property management gives her a strong command of rental properties, cash-flow analysis, and long-term investment planning—an advantage for both homeowners and investors. Karen is known for taking extra time to prepare detailed market analyses, clearly explain contracts and timelines, and remain accessible throughout the process. Clients often describe her as calm, persistent, and highly strategic—earning her the nickname “The Persevering Agent.” Trust, transparency, and results are central to how she does business. Giving back is a cornerstone of her work. She is the President and founding member of Riley’s Army Triangle Chapter, a nonprofit supporting children with cancer and their families across North Carolina. In addition, she serves as a State Political Coordinator for NCAR, advocating for the real estate industry at the state level, and is a member of the inaugural Angier Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, where she helps shape inclusive community initiatives. Karen lives in Lillington with her husband, Rob and their two children. Her daughter, Elizabeth, works alongside her as a REALTOR on the Triangle to Coast Realty team. As a family, they enjoy time at their beach house on the North Carolina coast, traveling, and spending time outdoors—especially soaking in coastal sunsets, which Karen considers her favorite way to recharge. Karen’s commitment to service was formally recognized when she became the first-ever recipient of the Good Neighbor Award from the Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS®. The award honors her decades of community impact through Riley’s Army, a nonprofit organization that supports children with cancer and their families. What began as a simple meal train has grown into a comprehensive support network serving dozens of Triangle-area families with financial assistance, hospital support, and consistent in-person presence during treatment. For Karen, real estate has always been about people—and being a good neighbor both inside and outside of the transaction. Rooted in the Triangle and deeply invested in the communities she serves, Karen’s work is driven by a simple belief: real estate is not just about transactions—it’s about people, planning, and building a future with intention.
