Poppy Voliva

With deep roots in North Carolina and a broader perspective shaped by her time in cities like Vancouver, London, and New York, Poppy blends local expertise with a well-rounded understanding of diverse lifestyles. As a real estate advisor with Hayes Collaborative, she combines a nuanced understanding of the Triangle's neighborhoods with an intuitive approach to finding the perfect fit for her clients.

Poppy’s journey into real estate was born from a life filled with movement—she’s relocated over 40 times, giving her a firsthand appreciation for the excitement, challenges, and emotional complexities of finding “home.” These experiences have sharpened her instincts for matching clients with properties that meet their lifestyle and aspirations, whether it’s quiet acreage surrounded by trees or a downtown condo steps from Raleigh's vibrant dining scene.

Before real estate, Poppy led operations for global corporations, where she mastered the art of negotiation and meticulous deal management. These skills, paired with her passion for lifestyle, function, and design, allow her to guide sellers in maximizing their property’s appeal and value while giving buyers a fresh perspective on every home’s potential.

Beyond her work, Poppy is endlessly curious. When she’s not previewing homes or analyzing market data, you’ll find her catching a flight from RDU for a quick adventure or enjoying an iced latte at one of Raleigh’s many local coffee shops. Her genuine warmth, attention to detail, and commitment to her clients make every transaction seamless and rewarding.

Poppy’s ultimate goal? To create a personalized real estate experience where clients feel understood, supported, and—above all—excited about the next chapter of their lives.
Ready to make your move? Poppy would love to help you find your place in the Triangle.
