About Us
Our Local Focus Is Your Advantage
We’re locals. We love the South Charlotte towns we get to serve every day, and we know them by heart. We put that to work for every client: pricing a home against what’s selling down the street, or helping a buyer weigh one town’s commute and taxes against the next.
We’re involved here, too. Our kids go to school in Weddington. Amanda has served as Vice Chair of the Town of Weddington Planning Board and is a member of the Rotary Club of Waxhaw-Weddington. You’ll find us in downtown Matthews, Fort Mill parks and whichever restaurant just opened in Ballantyne. Pretty sure that counts as market research.
Selling, buying or both? Tell us what you want from the move. Our team takes it from the first conversation to closing day.
Home Sellers Deserve More
Plenty of agents put a home on the MLS and wait for a buyer to find it. We go find the right buyers for your home.
Every listing gets a Custom Marketing Plan: cinematic video, marketing on every major channel, and retargeting that keeps your home in front of the buyers who show interest. Then you get the results in writing every Friday.
Steve spent a decade building listing marketing technology used by agents across the country before he ever listed a home here. That experience is how we deliver results for our sellers.
Find Your Dream Home
Relocating to the area? We’ve got you. You’ll have questions about the towns, the schools and how taxes differ between NC and SC, and we can start answering them months before you move. Our relocation process keeps you in the driver’s seat:
- Learn the areaStart with our Living in South Charlotte YouTube channel, more than 100 videos made for anyone researching a move here, and our free relocation guide.
- Understand the schoolsSchools go by a home’s exact address, not the town in its mailing address. Some Matthews addresses are in Union County schools, so we help you confirm the assignment with the district for every home you consider.
- Narrow it downWe compare towns on commute, lot sizes and taxes, then dig into what each listing doesn’t show, like the flood map, HOA rules and public plans for nearby land.
- Your offer to closingWe negotiate the price and terms, then track each deadline until you have the keys.
From a first home to the one you plan to stay in for good, you’ll know what to expect at every step.
