I met Renda in February 2009 during my quest to relocate to North Carolina. I liked her immediately and with her help I closed on a home in March of that year. Unfortunately, I was unable to find employment so I decided to rent my home in 2010. I did not hesitate to reach out to Renda during this time and I was delighted when I discovered her Realtor service was also a management company. In 2010 I became a landlord and for the past six years Chris Carter along with Renda Powell have managed my property with integrity. I must say that working with them has been wonderful. As a first time landlord and New York City resident it was important for me to work with people that were professional, experienced, communication oriented and trustworthy. I highly recommend Carter Group Realtors if you are thinking about relocating, investing or purchasing a second home. With that said, I asked Renda to help me sell my rental property this year and only a little over one month of her listing my property, it was in contract. Renda recommended the painters, carpet installers, stagers, lawn care specialist, electricians, handy men and so forth to get it ready for sale. She stayed in touch with me prior to placing my property on the market, and contacted me before, during and after the contract was signed. Further, I must add that my property sold for more than the median price range in the neighborhood and I definitely contribute this to Renda's knowledge of the housing market as well as her work ethic. "NOW HEAR THIS!" if you are thinking about relocating to Concord or Charlotte, NC from another state, a Charlotte resident looking to purchase a home or an investor in need of a property manager, I strongly advise that you reach out to Carter Group Realtors and ask for Renda Powell and Chris Carter. You will be grateful that you did. read more

My husband and I started thinking about looking for another property as our family continued to expand and our current home didn't have the additional space needed when out of town family was visiting. We solicited recommendations from friends around realtors they had used in the past. Not only were we looking to sell our current house, but also looking to find another home in Charlotte that would fit all of our needs. We focused first on getting our current house on the market, and then a few weeks later started the search for our forever home. Chris provided great advice on how to prepare our home to be listed, as well as helping us try to figure out exactly what we wanted out of our new property. Within a few weeks we were Under Contract on the house we were selling, and Chris was working tirelessly to help us find our new home as quickly as possible. While all home sales and purchases come with some sort of complication, the purchase of our new home encountered a situation that almost ended the sale. Chris went over and above to help us determine a solution that would work for both us and the seller. Thankfully, we were closed soon after that. Not only was Chris a great realtor, but he became a friend to us and our children. Chris spent so much time with us during the process that our 3 year old son would even ask where "Mr. Chris" was when he wasn't around. It was great to not only work with Chris as a professional, but to also know that he had our best interest at heart really helped ease our minds through a typically stressful process. read more

Chris Carter helped my husband and I to find our first home together, we just closed in November. We both feel that we could not have made a better decision when choosing to work with Carter Group Realtors during this process. From the beginning of the initial phone call and sit down meeting with him, Chris was open, honest, attentive, informative, and generally caring when it came to searching and selecting the home that was right for us. He provided insight and considerations with regards to selecting homes/neighborhoods that would meet our needs and future goals. After we went under contract, Chris was there with us all of the way. Guiding us and advising us with regards to inspections/estimates, and negotiations with the sellers. Chris was a terrific advocate, and fought for us in reaching a deal for the exact seller concessions that we wanted from the transaction. Even now that we have closed on our new home, Chris continues to check in and make sure that we are happy and that everything is good with the property. If you want a realtor who will truly serve your best interests, then reach out to Carter Group Realtors! read more

We are so thrilled with our new home!!! Our realtor, Renda Powell, came very highly recommended and we were not disappointed! Not only is Renda just a very pleasant person to deal with, she was very communicative, available, reliable, and tenacious throughout our experience with her. I know she worked some long hours and late nights to help us get our dream home as we hit various bumps in the road during the home-buying process. Additionally, because of her many years of experience, Renda is very well connected in the community and some of those connections proved incredibly helpful as she was able to tap into them for advice and second opinions as we navigated the twists and turns of purchasing our new home. She also referred us to our excellent home inspector Jeff Haynes who was extremely diligent and detailed oriented, as well as a providing a number of other helpful referrals and/or suggestions to facilitate our cross-country home purchase and move. We can't thank her enough and would recommend Renda Powell to anyone. read more

I take giving a positive experience reviews very seriously because I know that the Carters Group Realtors' future performance will be a reflection on me, but I have no qualms at all about recommending Chris. Chris is a dear friend of mine who also just so happens to have been our official realtor and unofficial home ownership sounding board (outside of North Carolina) on all of our real estate transactions and renovation ever since we met him at a gym and he helped us purchase our first home in 2007. From our first transaction to the sale of our house in 2014 to today our relationship has grown to a loyal friendship. I took a liking to Chris' knowledgeable outlook on the Charlotte market and his honesty. He is trust worthy, steady, patient and uniquely committed to seeing you in the home of your dreams. read more

Going with Renda Powell was the best decision that my wife and I ever made. We were moving to the area and since we were buying our first house, we were very nervous. After calling and meeting with Renda, she made us comfortable with the whole process and explained everything to us. She really looked out for us and put our best interests first. Renda also gets to know you on a personal level and truly cares for you. After initially having some difficulty finding a house, Renda kept us going and confident. She worked tirelessly to find our perfect home and she delivered. In the Charlotte area, I will only work with Renda Powell for all of my real estate needs. Renda is professional, caring, hard-working and one of the best in the business. I highly recommend Renda Powell for your real estate needs. read more

We had not sold any property in 42 years. Renda made it easy. She was knowledgeable. She knew what was important to buyers and how to highlight those things in presenting the property. She was professional. She had a great organization that assisted her and us at every turn. She was personable. She was very easy to talk with and very accessible. She was prompt in responding to our many questions and inquiries. She informed us quickly of developments as they occurred. She was very good at explaining options and then letting us make informed decisions without undue pressure. As we considered selling the property where we had lived for 42 years we were somewhat overwhelmed. Renda made it a breeze. She handled everything with cool efficiency. read more

We purchased an older home and Renda Powell was with us every step of the way. She was very knowledgeable, professional and upbeat through our entire home buying experience. The first home we made an offer on fell through but Renda did all of the leg work recommending contractors and repairmen she trusted to give estimates and did all the legwork while we were out of the country. Both she and Chris got on a call with us to keep us abreast of the progress on our purchase & negotiations while we were in Europe! Renda is kind and patient and so helpful. It was a little scary buying an older home but she was very patient and knew who to ask for help if we needed it. Her recommendations on home inspector and law office for closing were excellent!! read more

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Renda Powell to both buy our new home and sell our old one in historic downtown Concord. Renda is incredibly sweet, responsive, and an absolute expert when it comes to downtown Concord -- truly, nobody knows it better. Throughout both transactions, we faced several unique challenges, but Renda helped us navigate every one of them with a cheerful, positive attitude and a strong bias toward action. She never missed a beat and made a complicated process feel much smoother than we ever expected. If you're looking for a realtor who knows Concord inside and out, stays relentlessly positive, and gets things done, there's simply no one better than Renda. We can't recommend her highly enough! read more

Renda Powell knows how to get things done! We approached purchasing a historic home in a very unconventional way and she worked hard to make it happen. She was with us and helped us through every step from a survey to a structural engineer. We felt very comfortable and confident with the job she was doing. She made sure that we were happy and the seller was happy. She not only helped us purchase a new home, but knew the exact buyers for the home we were selling which allowed her to sell it in one day. The process of buying and selling was very seamless. I would absolutely recommend Renda (and I have) to anyone. She truly knows what she is doing and is such a pleasure to work with. read more

My experience with Chris and the C.A. Carter Group was excellent. As a real estate agent he was superb, letting me know all the key attributes that would increase the value of my property and informing me of features that would increase my enjoyment in my new home. Building a new house as a first time homeowner can be a bit overwhelming. Chris eliminated much of that facilitating the entire process to maximize my buying opportunity, making the entire process quite pleasurable. Would I recommend Chris to a friend? I already have and their experiences have all be as positive and pleasant as mine. read more

Mr. Carter took the listing for our house, advertised it widely, and helped facilitate the process from start to finish. The result was a smooth closing at a fair price with both parties satisfied. Although I am not the type to leave everything to a provider no matter how competent, I could easily have done so with Chris. He leaves nothing to chance....no possibility unanticipated , no eventuality not prepared for. He is personable and articulate, and if there is anybody who knows the real estate market better than he, I have yet to meet him/her. read more

Chris is patient, trustworthy, and truly interested in achieving the best outcome for his clients. We have and will continue to recommend him without reservation. read more

Renda Powell came highly recommended by a friend of ours and she did not disappoint. Her knowledge of the area, of the schools and of houses in general really helped us narrow our choices. She was also extremely patient with our indecisiveness when looking at houses. Her expertise in all things houses, the housing market, locations and much much more made the ease of finding a house that is right for our situation that much easier. We will definitely be recommending her to both buyers and sellers in the future. Thanks Renda! read more

Renda went above and beyond to help us find a home. She worked tirelessly. When we needed to see a house at night because of our crazy schedules, she drove to Charlotte with us at 7pm and walked around the yard with a flashlight so we could see the yard and siding. She was patient while we looked at countless houses until we found our dream home. She is friendly, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our closing went smoothly. If we decide to move in the future, we will not hesitate to choose Renda again! read more

Renda was amazing to work with! She took a risk with me due to having an unorthodox mortgage, and despite a number of troubles with my lender, she helped us work through it all to finally close on a home. I really appreciated her sharing her knowledge with us as first time home buyers and I can't imagine anyone else could've made the process any easier. I would highly, highly recommend Renda, probably others from the Carter Group as well, but especially Renda! read more
