    Wayne made what could be a stressful experience buying a home pleasant. I've owned homes in Minnesota and Texas, but this was my first time buying a home in North Carolina. Wayne made every step of the home buying process as easy as possible. Highly recommended.
    Carlos R.
    Wayne's vast experience in the real estate industry was evident from the start. He had in-depth knowledge of market trends, competitive pricing and financing, and provided me with invaluable insight throughout the entire process.

    Karen is extremely driven and tactful! I was very pleased with her process of selling my home and would highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond for her clients, never accepting anything but the best deals.

    Every morning, the first thing I do is look around my home and smile. Why? Because I love my house! I have lived in eight states, numerous cities and towns, and dozens of houses during my life but I believe that I can honestly say that the house I am living in today is my absolute FAVORITE. It is perfect for me -- my needs, my wants, my personality, and my lifestyle. This house felt like my home from day one and even though I have only lived here for a little while it feels like my place of safety and comfort. How did I get so lucky? How did I end up living in my perfect house? I had the BEST real estate agent representing me and helping me with the purchase. Karen Barnett. Karen not only took care of all the details involved in the negotiations with the purchase but she held my hand and advised me throughout the inspection. I felt assured and confident that my interests were being protected. This was not my first real estate transaction and I am fairly experienced with how real estate agent work when closing a deal but Karen was not like "most". She is much better. Karen far exceeded my expectations as she took seriously the term "agent" and fully represented ME in every aspect of the process. Karen is a real estate agent who cares about her clients and wants the very best for each of them. It was not long before I knew that Karen was determined to help me find and purchase the perfect home. I am so thankful that I had Karen and her expertise by my side she made it happen and now I am HOME.

    We worked with Wayne both selling one house and buying a second. Between my husband and I we have purchased over a dozen homes and Wayne was the most responsive, detail oriented, informative and all around wonderful Realtor either of us have ever worked with. The level of service we experienced with Wayne was unlike any other. He was available at anytime day or night and always went above and beyond to make sure that every detail was accounted for, including arranging for things that weren't necessarily his job to arrange. For example, we had a lot of trouble finding a very specific window part that needed to be installed in our house before selling. We were going to have to replace the entire window for a part that cost $4. Wayne researched and was able to contact the original builder of a community that was over 10 years old and find the missing part for us. This is one of many examples of Wayne providing superior customer service. Another thing that stood out about Wayne was his dedication to finding the perfect home for us. When we first met him we were ready to move forward with a home, which would have been an easy commission for him, but instead of rushing us to buy that home he suggested we continue to look around. This ended up being the best decision because we found our truly perfect home in the end and we are so grateful to him for guiding us in the right direction. Wayne has our highest possible recommendation -- he is the best!

    We'd be honored to help you achieve your Charlotte real estate goals
