Meet Carrie Holle

Carrie began her real estate career in 1995, quickly establishing herself as a trusted expert in residential development and luxury property marketing. With decades of experience advising builders and developers, she has become a go-to consultant for projects ranging from boutique infill communities to large-scale developments in both established and emerging markets.

Her leadership was instrumental in launching a multi-office real estate brokerage that grew to 16 locations nationwide. In 2015, she founded her own independent luxury real estate firm, providing specialized consulting services to developers, builders, and high-net-worth clients.

Carrie currently leads the #1 midsize team in Indiana by volume, and her influence now extends to the Atlanta market, where she continues to collaborate with some of the region’s most visionary developers. Known for her market insight, strategic planning, and elevated brand positioning, Carrie is frequently brought in during the early planning phases to advise on product mix, pricing, architecture, and marketing strategy.

In recognition of her deep industry knowledge and strong reputation within the community, Carrie was appointed by global visionary Mayor Jim Brainard to serve on the Carmel, Indiana Plan Commission—further solidifying her role as a respected voice in the intersection of real estate development and smart urban planning.

A recipient of the Five Star Agent award every year since 2012, Carrie was named the top-producing agent in Indianapolis in 2018 and was selected as the first founding broker for Compass Real Estate in Indiana in 2021. Her success is grounded in her collaborative approach, deep understanding of the luxury buyer, and ability to help developers maximize both impact and profitability.

"Whether it’s navigating the world of luxury properties or overseeing the intricacies of lot selection and acquisition, my primary role is that of an advisor. I empower my clients with comprehensive information, valuable insights, and innovative strategic solutions, ensuring they can make the most well-informed real estate investment decisions."

Testimonials

"Nicholas Brown is truly one of a kind. In the 33 years since Waterford Homes was founded in Atlanta, we’ve never been more impressed by a real estate agent’s expertise, integrity, confidence, responsiveness and humor. He is incredible with buyers and sellers. Does he use his British accent as a weapon? Sure. Yes. Absolutely. It is simply not fair."

"We’ve worked with Carrie on mixed-use developments here, and other places where we’ve engaged her services for feasibility analysis data, any kind of points that we would need to evaluate our projects. Specific to the downtown and luxury market, she knows it inside and out, she knows all the players. There’s a lot of overlap with development companies, and she knows all the right people so her expertise in that area, her knowledge of what’s happening on the scene, behind the scenes and obviously her role now with the city of Carmel has been helpful.”
- DAN MALLON, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT LAUTH COMMUNITIES

"You expect your Realtor to know the market well and be able to advise the clients on what they’re looking for, but Carrie takes it a step further and she tries to see what the future will bring. She’s looking at not only the history of the area, but what’s coming in the future. Carrie knows what areas are going to be growing, she knows the market really well, she’s well respected and she works hard.”
