Keeping the Real in Real Estate: Angie Carocci’s Journey of Family, Community, and Authenticity

In this week’s episode of Real Estate Real World, Marguerite is joined by Angie Carocci—Placerville’s top realtor, founder of Acre Real Estate Inc., and creator of the Acreage Crew, a collaborative network of agents championing “community over competition.” With a no-BS approach and deep roots in her community, Angie’s story is about far more than real estate; it’s about fostering genuine connections, balancing life as a mom and business owner, and redefining what it means to succeed.

Raised in a family of small business owners, Angie’s journey into real estate began after the closure of her family’s beloved store on Placerville’s Historic Main Street. From those early experiences, Angie gained an unwavering commitment to community and an insider’s knowledge of the local market—qualities that she’s carried forward into her thriving real estate career, helping over 250 families with real estate needs and closing over $85 million in sales volume.

Known for her no-nonsense, authentic style, Angie is a force to be reckoned with in El Dorado County, but she’s also a devoted wife, soccer mom to three, and a passionate advocate for local businesses and generational wealth.

Throughout the conversation, Angie shares what it takes to balance the relentless demands of real estate with her family’s needs, recounting the personal and professional milestones that have defined her journey. She recalls opening her very first escrow while in the hospital with her newborn, a testament to the “24/7” life of a realtor, and reflects on how she’s learned to set boundaries with clients while still delivering exceptional service. Angie’s solution? Setting clear expectations from the start, even adding her family-focused hours in her voicemail message, a small but impactful way to protect her time while keeping her clients’ trust.

Angie also gives listeners a look at the Acreage Crew, a collaborative group she founded to help agents prioritize community over competition. Through Acreage, she provides support, mentorship, and guidance, making room for agents to learn, grow, and succeed together. As Angie puts it, her focus is on helping others build, learn from her own successes and failures, and elevate the industry by setting a higher standard of trust and cooperation among agents. Her honesty, hustle, and unwavering belief in community have made her a guiding light for other agents looking to find success without sacrificing integrity.

As a leader in the EXP network, Angie also shares how she’s embraced social media as a platform for connecting with a broader audience, showing up authentically to share both the highs and lows. From documenting the realities of raising kids while managing clients to sharing moments from her rural lifestyle, Angie’s online presence is as down-to-earth as she is in person. For her, social media isn’t just about marketing; it’s about building real connections and staying true to who she is—a mom, a wife, a community advocate, and a top-performing realtor who’s never afraid to show her human side.

Whether you’re a new agent looking for inspiration, a seasoned professional balancing family and career, or someone interested in the real story behind real estate, Angie’s journey offers insights and encouragement for anyone navigating life’s transitions. Join us for an inspiring and heartwarming conversation with Angie Carocci as she reveals how she’s built a career that honors her roots, her family, and her community—and why, for her, keeping it real is the only way to go in real estate.
