As an experienced RE/MAX real estate broker in Charlotte, North Carolina I have assisted hundreds of newcomers relocate to Charlotte. I know how important it was to them and now to you to have updated information available along with someone who will answer your questions.
The simple fact is no one likes to wait for information to be mailed or waste valuable time filling out a real estate agents's request for information form before any information can be obtained. That is not the way I conduct my business. For years I have had my own customized easy to use relocation publication, Golden Properties Guide to Charlotte, North Carolina which I've placed on the Internet as www.charlotterelocation.com.
Here you will find a wealth of information about Charlotte and the adjoining region. You will find many helpful links including one to my "Search For Homes" page on Goldenproperties.com which is updated daily by our Charlotte area MLS IDX system with all of the properties listed for sale in the area. On it you can begin your search without the annoyance of filling out forms to preview the property and obtain detailed information about it.
