Our Real Estate Company:
Our Real Estate Firm is called Find A Home Carolina. We previously worked with one of the largest real estate franchises in the country. After several years with them, we outgrew that relationship and started our own independent firm so that we could offer our clients the kind of exceptional customer service that mega firms cannot.
Our Emphasis is on Working with Buyers. We have helped hundreds of Home Buyers from all across the country and beyond with the Search, Evaluation, Negotiation, Inspection, and Purchase of their home. We believe strongly that we can help buyers make better educated decisions, save significant money and reduce their stress.
We have won all kinds of awards but we are far more proud of the "kind words", testimonials, and references provided by our clients. There are at least 60 of the testimonials we have received on this web site.
We are both experienced Licensed Brokers, Realtors®, Accredited Buyer Representatives, and Certified Relocation Specialists.
We Work a Lot!
But, not all the time...

You Can Choose to Work with Either One of Us:
Why work with US?
Experience combined with a positive attitude. We've worked with all types of people and handled all types of transactions in this market for the last ten years. We have lots of stories!
Together, we think we make a pretty great team -- in life as well as business. We've managed to raise four daughters (all grown up now) and still remain best friends (and married.) We are totally professional, yet still have fun working together and believe that makes it more fun for you. Our individual strengths and talents mesh well for your benefit. No matter which of us you choose to work with, we promise that you will be glad you did!
Ann:
Background - Graduated University of Wisconsin / B.S. Business Management. Previous careers include owning a small chain of gift/gourmet stores for 18 years as well as corporate jobs in sales management, marketing, and information technology for both small and large companies.
"I was born and lived in Wisconsin for many (cold) years! While it was a great state to grow up in and raise kids in, the thrill of shoveling snow passed. When we realized that we could live anywhere, we did extensive research and chose to relocate to the Lake Norman area north of Charlotte. Now, I am very proud to be a North Carolinian."
Are you relocating to the Charlotte area from another state? Boy, can we relate to that! We came to Charlotte for the first time for a long weekend over a decade ago to "check it out" and left that weekend with a contract to buy a house. We went back and sold our house in Wisconsin and never looked back. Now we can't imagine living anywhere else!
Why work with me to BUY your next home?
I work exclusively as a Buyer's Agent!
From our first meeting, you will see that I am completely committed to helping you make good, informed decisions. I am dedicated to my buyers. When we tour together, you will have absolute confidence that you are seeing everything worth seeing without wasting any of your valuable time. From the initial search to the closing table, I will do all the research, leg-work, analysis, and follow-up to make sure nothing falls between the cracks. I will answer all of your questions and concerns. Finding the right house is just the beginning. I will be your advocate through negotiations, repairs, financing and closing. I take great pride in providing the kind of exceptional customer service you'll be anxious to recommend to your friends.
I'm NOT That Kind of Agent!
If you prefer to work with an agent that meets you wearing designer clothes, spike heels, and big hair driving a spotless status vehicle -- keep looking. I work long days - often showing 20+ houses in a single day. I climb ladders on construction sites, tromp through the mud showing vacant lots, and drive a sport utility vehicle that has hauled lots of clients and their kids to see lots of houses. Both me & my vehicle have some miles & experience under our belts!
Wayne:
Background - Graduated North Texas State University / B.S. Education. In addition to real estate experience, Wayne has an extensive background in marketing and sales management including writing, advertising, designing, consulting, and negotiating.
"I am a Texan by birth, a Packer fan by choice, and a Carolinian by sheer logic. I met my lovely wife in Wisconsin. Decades of Texas heat, followed by a decade of Tundra cold, is ample experience to make determinations about Seasonal Comfort. The Lake Norman area has four beautiful seasons; it suits us perfectly. Come check it out!"
Why work with me to buy your next home?
~ Service.
You need information. I’m going to give it to you. Tours, Maps, Photos, Lot Boundaries, Room Sizes, or Sales History, I’m going to give it to you. You need analysis. I’m going to give it to you. Neighborhood Competition, Sales Trends, Internet Marketing Possibilities, or Home Improvements that make a difference when Selling, I’m going to give it to you.
~ Dependability.
Your needs, your schedules, and your time tables drive my “To Do” list. I know that you are squeezing a Home Purchase into a busy lifestyle. I cannot make the process worry free because A Home is kind of a "big deal." However; together we can divide the massive “To Do” list and I will take much of the burden from your shoulders. I don’t say "depend on me" lightly.
~ Communication.
Brokering a real estate transaction is rarely a simple and straight path. The unexpected is often the expected. Nothing replaces effective communication. The best way to tackle a surprise is to address the issue immediately with all parties in the process. I will keep you informed every step of the way.
