We were looking to relocate from CA as we neared retirement. Our daughter lives in Charlotte and several colleagues suggested checking out the Lake Norman area. We don't remember exactly how we found Chad Hetherman, but it was the best thing that happened to us! Chad has a wealth of knowledge about the entire Lake Norman area. On my first visit, he drove me around the entire lake, explaining the area and showing me homes. When I visited the second time with my husband, Chad repeated this procedure so my husband could get a feel for the area as well. (Both of these visits took up the entire day.) Chad must have taken us out at least 15 times. He was even amenable to revisiting certain homes with my daughter and son-in-law in tow. It's not an easy process finding something you like when you are thousands of miles away. Chad was unfazed by this. If we saw a home on line we were interested in, Chad would visit it and send us a video with his honest impressions for us to review. Eventually we decided to build and found a lot we were happy with. When we ran into some issues with the builder, Chad worked with us until we found a builder who could deliver what we wanted. I truly can't say enough good things about Chad. He was always there for us and continues to follow the progress of our home. He has always had our best interests at heart! I promise you won't be disappointed if you put your trust in Chad! read more

Jeff helped my now fiancé and I buy our first home about 3 years ago. We were pretty overwhelmed when we started looking for what we wanted and thankfully, we came across Jeff before we got very far. Jeff was incredibly patient and understanding with us as we had a lot of wants as new home buyers. Jeff had an incredible knowledge of the Charlotte metro area taught us a great deal about future residential growth and how it would effect the markets in the towns we were looking. He also educated us on the loan process and made it an absolute breeze from start to finish. We were in perfect hands from the get go and ended up finding the perfect starter home. Fast forward 3 years, I haven't spoken to Jeff in maybe 2 years at this point, and he notices that we got engaged. Jeff immediately texted me to wish us congratulations and even sent us a congratulatory letter in the mail. He obviously cares a great deal about all of his clients and I promise, when we start looking for our next home in a few years, Jeff will be our only call. If you are looking for a thorough, knowledgeable, friendly, detail oriented family centric real estate agent, don't bother looking anywhere else. Jeff is your guy. Thanks so much for all you have done for us Jeff - I hope you and the family are doing great! read more

When we decided to sell our home, we interviewed several realtors. After speaking (in person) with Jeff, we instantly knew that he was the realtor for us. Our timeframe was tight, as we had already purchased our next home, and Jeff discussed the entire process timing plan during our initial interview, and everything that he laid out for us was accomplished just as promised. He and his team did a very professional job of staging the furniture in our house followed by quality pictures by a professional photographer. Afterwards, they uploaded them to the listing site, and included the application Explore 3D which gave a virtual 3D tour of our floorplan - just fantastic. After listing the property Monday afternoon, we quickly filled up 1.5 days of showing appointments (46 showings in total) using Showing Time, which worked flawlessly. We received 15 offers (all at or above asking price) by Wednesday evening, and were under contract later that night. In short, if you are looking for someone to sell your home, you couldn't find anyone better than Jeff and his team at Elevate Real Estate. read more

Ross is absolutely amazing realtor and he made our process of finding an investment property in NC a wonderful experience. He is very kind, patient, hard-working, brilliant and knowledgeable person. He quickly understood our requirement. He is very prompt in responding to our question and very proactive. He is absolutely the BEST! I would recommend him without a blink of an eye. Since we were doing the whole process remotely we had so much questions/concerns. But Ross made it look like a very easy process. Everyday I used to send him list of houses and he would help us narrow it down based on the neighborhood and proximity to the city. Without any hesitation he would do a video tour of the shortlisted houses. He would have done video tour of minimum of 10-15 houses for us. He came up with a brilliant clause in our offer which helped us in getting our offer through. It really helped us getting our property in this highly competitive market. He also helped us in find a good rental Property management company. He has been absolutely fantastic in every aspect. read more

It's hard to adequately express how incredible Kelly was in our search for a home. We met her randomly at an open house and knew immediately that we wanted her as our agent as we began our search. She was kind, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and had the kind of personality that can get along with anybody. She would frequently send us listings she thought we might like and was incredibly accommodating to our schedule so that we could tour homes when it was convenient for us. When we finally found the house we wanted she acted fast and did everything she could to get our offer secured so that we could move forward with the loan process immediately. Anytime we had questions she knew the answers and made us feel that truly, her clients are her #1 priority. From day one she had our best interest at heart and it remained that way until the day we closed. I honestly can't recommend Kelly enough. She helped us find the house of our dreams with as little stress as possible and I am positive she can help you find yours, too! read more

Jeff was absolutely amazing. Through an extended process, Jeff always listened to our diverse and complex criteria across both existing homes and new construction in our target area. He was always professional, supportive, patient and knowledgeable as well as extremely flexible in accommodating our limited availability when we were in from out of town. Ultimately, Jeff located the perfect new development for us that met every one of our criteria. He not only negotiated our initial new construction contract but also played an enormous and ongoing role in managing the entire pre construction, construction, post construction and closing process. And Jeff did all of this in the midst of a once in a lifetime pandemic. It is very fair to say that we would have never located the development, successfully negotiated the contract or completed the construction and successfully closed on our perfect new home and location if it were not for Jeff. We just think the world of him!!! read more

Highly recommend Jeff Arzonico and his team! The moving process was very stressful (we moved from out of state) and without Jeff's persistence, patience and knowledge I think we would have thrown in the towel. We were very picky buyers but he was always very reassuring and made us a priority. He believes in helping you find the home you were meant to have. Once we were under contract and began dealing with the rest of his team (Alex & Alyssa) the process was refreshingly simple and low stress. They handled everything, and were always helpful and informative. I never had to follow up because they were on top of everything. We also used the mortgage company, attorney, inspector, etc that he referred us to and we were beyond happy with them as well. Jeff provides the full package and only works with the best which for us, made all the difference. read more

Jeff is also an exceptional negotiator. His strategic approach and calm demeanor helped us secure the best possible deal, and we always felt confident knowing he was advocating for our best interests. Whether you're buying or selling, Jeff is the kind of realtor you want in your corner--professional, trustworthy, and deeply committed to your success. Highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate experience! read more

We worked with Jeff in selling our home, and couldn't be happier with the entire process end-to-end. He did a preliminary walk-through to make his recommendations for what should be updated to maximize our return, and how to prioritize - where to put our funds and our effort. He walked through again as we were nearing going live and helped us evaluate any last-minute needs. Throughout the process, he was always easy to reach via text or cell and super responsive. Jeff worked with us to competitively price to sell quickly and maximize our return. We got a full price cash offer the day we went live, and closed in 10 DAYS!! He truly set us up for success and we will be working with him for any future real estate needs. Highly recommended! read more

What we thought would be a stressful experience, Jeff's expertise made this transaction seamless! In the middle of a pandemic and moving from Texas, Jeff went above and beyond to help us find our first North Carolina home. He was very knowledgeable of the areas we were interested in, understanding of what we were looking for, and very flexible when it came to us visiting from Houston to house hunt. He was always quick to respond with all of our questions, no matter the time of day, and had our best interests in mind when it came to negotiations. Also, not to forget Alexandra for coordinating all of our inspections in a timely manner! We could not be happier with Jeff and Elevate Real Estate's hard work to make this process a breeze. read more

Daniel Burzlaff was a great agent! He was patient with me and worked diligently to find the specific house I was looking for. This did not prove to be easy due to the sellers market we are currently in, the areas I was interested in living in, and my price point. Nevertheless, Daniel was able to put all the difficult pieces together and find the perfect house for me! I highly recommend using Daniel Burzlaff and Elevate if you are looking to sell or buy a home. The Elevate team I worked with made my first ever home purchase very easy and straightforward. Buying a home can be confusing and a little overwhelming, but they definitely made the whole process less stressful and were able to explain all the details to me in a clear manner. read more

Chad went above and beyond to help us purchase our mini farm. He happily drove all over NC with us as narrowed down where we wanted to live. He was very knowledgeable (past, present and future) about every area we had questions about. When we finally found our home, Chad went way above to make the process as smooth as possible. At one point Chad literally grabbed his shovel, rolled up his sleeves and started digging to help get a much needed inspection completed. And when the bank through in a last minute contingency to finalize our close, Chad was doing everything he could to pull together all required signatures to ensure we still closed in less than 24hrs! We highly recommend him, and are so glad we bought with Chad!! read more

Shawn Cunningham has changed our lives. He helped us find our forever home and we're truly THANKFUL to have him in our lives. His professionalism was second to none. He was always just a phone call or text away. He was always honest and upfront with us with everything. That's hard to come by nowadays. He never made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Met us at every appointment on time and most importantly he was conscious of our schedules. He made sure our needs were met and that he had our best intention at heart. We're glad to say he's part of our family. I would recommend Shawn to any and everyone looking for THE BEST AGENT!!! FIVE STARS ALL DAY!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING YOU SHAWN CUNNINGHAM! read more

Kelly Giovanelli helped me buy my very first home and I loved working with her! She knew the area extremely well and after figuring out what I was looking for, every house she showed me met those "wants". As a first time home buyer, I appreciated how thorough she was in explaining the process to me and what steps needed to be taken. She checked in with me every week during the closing process to assure me everything was going smoothly and nothing was needed of me yet. Kelly was also always so enthusiastic and sincerely excited for me, it truly enhanced my excitement about purchasing the home I decided on as well. I would highly recommend Kelly for her expertise and persona! read more

I have been in touch with Ross for a year, much of the time prior to my actually moving to the Charlotte ares. He has been a pleasure to work with. He is like a friendly bulldog, persistent when you need that, but also caring. He genuinely wanted me to get what I needed, tireless in our exploration of the area, and a lot of fun too. I am so very happy with what I chose, knowing that I saw what I needed to see in many house visits, in order to make the best decision and "come home" to my new residence. Throughout the negotiation, I always felt Ross was working for me. As he once said, "I've got your back," and I didn't experience a single thing that didn't demonstrate that. read more

I am very happy that Chad was our realtor. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was very responsive and also understanding of any concerns we had. My wife and are were first time home buyers and he was there to walk us through the process step by step. He didn't just set you up with a random mortgage company or home inspector. He used the same home inspector that he used for his own home. And he set us up with a mortgage company that was there to help complete this whole dealio with a personable touch. Buying a home was stress free and all because I knew Chad would look out for us. I recommend everyone work with Chad since I want work with any other realtor. read more

Daniel was absolutely amazing to work with. As someone who was buying their first house from out of state during the COVID-19 pandemic, Daniel went above and beyond to help me look for the perfect place to call home through FaceTime and diligent communication. He really looked out for my best interest, adding in his perspective while touring places when I couldn't be there in person. This meant a lot to me, considering I was putting my trust in someone to keep my best interest in mind. I would not hesitate to choose Daniel as your real estate agent. He was genuinely a great person to work with and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the area. read more
