| Ann & Wayne Kemp - Find A Home Carolina, LLC | |
 |
We treat our clients like friends -- the way we'd want to be treated. We think you'll be impressed with how hard we work for you. |
Our Real Estate Firm is called Find A Home Carolina. Previously with the largest real estate franchise in the country, 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 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.
Sellers Are Special. While most real estate agents are all about getting as many signs in yards as they can, we are committed to only working with as many sellers as we can service to the extremely high standards we've set. Wayne accepts only a limited number of home listings at any one time and they are usually referrals. The sellers that Wayne does choose to work with get to experience exceptional marketing & communication in the selling of their homes.
Many of our local clients enlist Wayne to list/sell their current home and work with Ann to find/buy their next home for ultimate efficiency.
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 50 of the testimonials we have received on this web site. Read some of them; they are more important than the remainder of this background information about us...because those references represent Action not Words.
We are both experienced Licensed Brokers in North Carolina & South Carolina, Realtors®, Accredited Buyer Representatives, and Certified Relocation Specialists.
Ann:
Background - Graduated University of Wisconsin / B.S. Business Management. Previous careers include owning a small chain of gift/gourmet store 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 nearly 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?
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 sometimes counsel builders and sellers on what features buyers are looking for, or assist Wayne with photos and brochures for his listings, but I never represent the Seller in a transaction. I work strictly as a buyers' agent.
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 or SELL a 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 or a Home Sale 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.
Why work with US?
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.
