For new & newly licensed agents

New to real estate? Start in Hospitality House.

The pineapple has always meant welcome, and hospitality is at the heart of APRE. That’s why our newest agents start in Hospitality House: the welcoming base of our team, and the first faces you’ll see.

Molly Little
Your guide

Molly Little

Director of Growth · leads Hospitality House

As APRE’s Director of Growth, Molly leads Hospitality House, the welcoming base where our newest agents begin. Hospitality is the heart of APRE (it’s the pineapple behind the “crown” in CrownOS), and Molly’s focus is making sure every new agent feels welcomed, known and supported from the very first day. If you’re just starting out, hers is one of the first friendly faces you’ll meet.

Coffee, tulips and a welcome basket on a kitchen counter

We know how the first year feels.

“I just got my license and I already feel overwhelmed.”

You don’t have to figure it all out at once. Get started with a conversation and tell us where you are.

“I don’t know where my first clients will come from.”

CrownOS gives you Connect to organize everyone you know and open house sign-in that routes the people you meet straight to you.

“I’m afraid of doing this alone.”

You won’t be. Molly leads the house, experienced APRE agents sit in it with you, and your house has its own Slack channel and meetings.

What you get in Hospitality House
  • Experienced agents in your house, right alongside you
  • Weekly EMPOWER training, Wednesdays at 8:30 AM ET, with replays
  • In-house transaction coordinators for the paperwork
  • CrownOS from day one: DealDesk, Connect, Toolkit with the APRE playbook and training, your own website, and open house sign-in

For agents

If any of this sounds familiar…

We built APRE for the agent who loves this work but is tired of carrying it alone.

“I feel stuck. I’m busy, but my business isn’t growing.”

You get a House Lead, weekly EMPOWER training, and a real plan. Our team closed 241 transactions in 2026 by Oct 23; we’ll show you how the work actually gets done.

“I’m doing this alone.”

Here you have a house: a small group with its own leader, Slack channel and meetings, inside a team of 54 people who show up for each other.

“I don’t have support when a deal gets messy.”

In-house transaction coordinators handle signs, photos, deadlines and the path to closing. Anna is still in the deal channels, untangling the hard ones.

“I’m new and don’t know where to start.”

Start with a conversation. Get started and tell us where you are.

What you keep

We don’t chase vanity metrics.

It’s not what you make, it’s what you keep.

Sell a ton of homes and close a lot of volume, if that’s what you want. We’ll be cheering you on. But at the end of the day, what really matters is the money you make to provide for your family and grow your impact in your community. So we don’t just help you grow your sales; we help you keep more of what you earn.

Tax strategy

Guidance to help you think through tax planning as a business owner, so you can plan ahead alongside your own CPA instead of scrambling at tax time.

Business setup

Help thinking through how your real estate business is set up, so it’s built to support your family and the life you want.

Investing

Real conversations about what you’re investing in, from your own business to your future, so your income keeps working for you and your community.

We share guidance and resources, not tax, legal or financial advice. Please talk with your own CPA, attorney or financial advisor about your situation.

Our story

From one agent to a front porch full.

Ten years of saying yes to people, one step at a time.

  1. 2016

    A one-woman business

    Anna Powell Real Estate began as Anna’s sole proprietorship: one agent who believed real estate should feel personal.

  2. 2019

    All in

    Anna stepped into full-time sales.

  3. 2021

    A home on Broad Street

    APRE moved to eXp Realty, opened at 704 Broad Street in Fuquay-Varina, and started truly investing back in the community.

  4. Nov 2021

    Our first agent

    Kristin Campbell joined as APRE’s first agent, and she’s still with the team today.

The Anna Powell Real Estate team
Why APRE

You don’t have to choose between local and supported.

The best agents are woven into their towns. APRE was built to honor that: community first, relationships over advertising. We don’t ask you to become a logo in a giant directory. We help you become the trusted name in your own community.

I started as a solopreneur, and I remember how lonely it can be. When your client is moving from the Triangle to the coast, you’ll hand them to a colleague you know by name, and when a deal gets hard, you won’t be figuring it out by yourself.

— Anna Powell

How we’re built

A team with a shape.

Anna at the top, House Leads who keep the culture in small groups, and a support team that keeps every deal moving.

Anna Powell

CrownOS

CrownOS: the platform built for APRE agents.
