Since launching my brokerage in March, it’s been a whirlwind, in the best way! From our amazing kickoff picnic to the incredible support from all of you, it's been a truly unforgettable start. There’s even been a surprise twist (hello, broken foot!), but I’m taking it all in stride.
Now, I’m thrilled to introduce a new initiative that’s close to my heart: “Free Dog with Every Home Sold.” It’s all about supporting animals and promoting responsible pet ownership, because finding a home should be a win for everyone, including our furry friends.

PLAN AHEAD.
Start planning your move well in advance Create a checklist, set a timeline, and establish a budget Having a clear plan will help you stay organized throughout the process
DECLUTTER BEFORE YOU PACK.
Before packing a single box, go through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or discard. This reduces the items you need to move and helps declutter your new space from the start.
PACK STRATEGICALLY.
Pack items room by room and label your boxes clearly. Consider creating an inventory list to keep track of your belongings. Don't forget to pack a "first-night" box with essentials like toiletries, clothes, and important documents.
NOTIFY IMPORTANT PARTIES.
Update your address with the post office, banks, utilities, and any other relevant institutions. Inform friends and family of your new address as well.

Loki is proud to introduce the “Free Dog with Every Home Sold” initiative...and yes, he gives it four paws up! Here’s how it works, up to $150 from my commission earned when you buy or sell with me can be used in one of the following ways after closing:
Adoption fees at the Humane Society of Charlotte or the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Control Shelter (a dog or a cat).
Need training instead? Let’s get your best friend in classes at the Charlotte Dog Training Club to help with those puppy manners.
More of a giver? We’ll make a donation in your name to the animal rescue of your choice.
You choose the option that fits you best, because every home deserves a little extra love (and a little fur, too).

While the Charlotte market is quieter than usual at this time of year, steady home prices and motivated Sellers are creating great opportunities. Interest rates remain elevated, but serious Buyers are finding less competition and more negotiating power, making this a smart time to make a move. Current Market: SELLER
