You can tell by our last names that Julie is my sister. So although you might think this review is biased, it is true regardless of relationship. The only difference her being my sister has made in this process for me as a buyer was that I didn’t feel as guilty sending her 20 homes a day that I might want to tour :) Julie is my current real estate agent as I am searching for my first home. From the very beginning, even before I was actually ready to start touring homes, Julie was incredibly patient with me and knowledgeable when I asked her questions about the process. I have seen her expertly guide her clients (some of which have been my closest friends and family) on their home buying journey and demonstrate an intimate knowledge of the greater Charlotte area, resulting in buyers finding their dream homes (and land). I am so blessed that it is now my turn for Julie to represent me as my realtor. Without her, I would have no idea which areas were safer than others. I also most likely would have ended up in the first home I toured out of pure excitement. Thankfully, Julie has served as a voice of reason and logic and has encouraged me to keep searching for the house that is meant for me. Additionally, as a first time home buyer, I am working with a stricter budget. With this, she has taught me the importance of “you can either buy your dream home in an area you CAN’T change, or you can buy a house you CAN change in your dream area”. I am so grateful for her guiding hand in this. As we have started touring more homes, I have truly seen the difference in work ethic and dedication between Julie and other listing agents. Julie is on call for her clients day and night, and will do whatever it takes to help close a deal. This is in stark juxtaposition to how I have seen some of the other listing agents operate. Julie will go to bat for her clients, many times without them even knowing how hard she is fighting for them. Thanks to Julie’s professionalism, effervescent personality, and ability to connect with everyone she meets, she has built a strong network of top-tier associates to help her close deals. From her recommended lenders, lawyers, and insurance agents, they are truly the A-team. I am (hopefully) nearing the end of my home search in this extremely competitive housing market, completely thanks to Julie. I told her what my non-negotiables were and she called me telling me she “found my house”. When she sent me the listing, I wasn’t necessarily sold. But when we went to go tour the house, I was ready to make an offer on the spot. Tell her your dream and she makes it a reality. I never would have toured that house without her finding and suggesting it. If you are looking to buy or sell your house, regardless of type, size, or price, there is no better realtor than Hometown Jules. She operates with a level of tenacity, integrity, and dedication that exceeds that of all other realtors.

Being a first time homebuyer in this market, I was intimidated to get started in the process, which is why I am so grateful to have been able to work with Christi Mercer at Yancey Realty. Not only was Christi professional and extremely knowledgeable in her market analysis, but having previously been a teacher, she had a unique ability to explain and translate the complicated language of real estate into simple and elementary terms that I could understand which helped me relax. More than that, it was clear to me from her responsiveness and attention to detail that Christi was personally invested in making my home buying experience a positive one. I never felt like just a client in the process, I felt a lot more like family. It was also apparent that the character and integrity that Christi showed in her work as a realtor is consistent with the same values she upholds in her personal life which made it easy to trust her with such an important milestone investment. Christi made it not only possible for me to purchase my first home, but made the process easy and enjoyable. She went above and beyond what I would have expected and I am thrilled with how everything worked out. If you are considering buying or selling a home, I cannot give a stronger endorsement than Christi Mercer with Yancey Realty.

I called Melanie Wenner Friday 2/4 to check on the availability of one property. She told me that it had just been taken off the market, but that the property next to it was going live on Monday. With that said, I followed up with her directly on Monday. She informed me that I could schedule something as soon as Wednesday and gave me her email. I emailed her the following day 2/8 and requested a weekend tour. She responded the following day with Sunday 2/13 at 12:30, in which I confirmed that the date and time she provided worked and if she could send me the listing so I can minimize the number of questions I had for her. I waited and waited for a response and received nothing, then called once went str8 to voicemail. Sunday came around and still nothing. So I didn't show up because I felt she also wasn't going to show up. All the other property management companies have been incredible with their response times and communication. Even follow up the day-of to confirm arrival. Melanie demonstrated terrible communication on behalf of Yancey Realty!

Let me first begin by acknowledging the most angelic figure to step on middle earth since our Lord and Savior himself. Julie Siragusa is a sushi roll of postive energy, a can do attitude, non stop smiling, professionalism, and unmatched empathy. If I got mugged and was on my last breathe in the hospital and my parents walked in, i would tell them to get out immediately and bring in Julie Siragusa as her illuminating visage is the last thing I want to see before ascending into the sky kingdom with JC and The Big Man. The day Julie Siragusa lets me down will be the day doves turn black, the skies part, and demons pillage and conquer the planet. Her birthday should be a national holiday and I would like her to be in the room when my first child is born and pray that they turn out half the woman she is. Thank you for such an amazing experience on our first property, and I look forward to our next rendezvous in the near future for property 2.

Allison is a truly wonderful agent! My wife and I cannot express our gratitude for her help buying our first home. Being new to the Charlotte area, we were unfamiliar with different areas, and Allison took her time walking us through the differences in each neighborhood, which helped us make our ultimate decision. She was easy to reach, an excellent negotiator, and having been in the mortgage business in the past, she was extremely knowledgeable about the best way to present an offer was! Having an agent who understands the finance side of buying a house was very helpful, as Allison guided us on saving for a down payment, how to apply for a loan and who to use. Overall, she was an absolute asset to our home buying experience, and we would suggest her to anyone and everyone! Our experience with the Yancey Realty team was outstanding and we are very happy!

Our experience working with Julie Siragusa was outstanding! Julie helped us with the sale of our house and the purchase of our new one. Needless to say selling and buying a house can be very stressful. Julie was excellent with both. Her knowledge, experience, negotiating skills, communication were outstanding! She kept us informed at all times. She also had a good resource in Yancey. She listened to our concerns and anxiousness and helped lead us in the right direction to get our house sold close to our asking price. She worked well with the other realtor to get the close done on time. The other reason I’d recommend Julie is she’s so upbeat and positive, which is helpful when negotiating. If you are in the market for a realtor that cares about getting what’s best for you, I’d highly recommend Julie!!!

Kathy Klemm with Yancy Realty is a gem. We are so fortunate to have found her and highly recommend her. She has passion for her work, integrity, is extremely knowledgeable, diligent, and went above and beyond for us. Being from out of state, she took the time to answer our many questions about purchasing a home in North Carolina that helped us confirm our decision to move there. In looking for homes, she was able to advise us about repairs that were needed, and she is familiar with building codes. When we found our home, she was able to negotiate a deal that day. Kathy guided us through closing, making it a breeze. As we couldn't be in town for closing, she did a very thorough walk-through and sent photos and information to us. Whether buying or selling, Kathy is the realtor you want on your side.

Tracy Wanner is an extremely hard-working, talented agent who also happens to be one of the most caring people I have ever met. She is always available for you, day or night, which is a priceless asset in this busy market. Purchasing a home is such a dynamic process, so having a realtor that you can trust to communicate quickly and efficiently is key. Tracy will work tirelessly for you, make herself available for showings that work with your schedule, negotiate strong and respectfully, and along the way will treat you like a cherished friend. My husband and I recently closed on our first home in NC, and we owe thanks to her for being a huge part of our success. We highly recommend Tracy if you want a personable, dedicated and proven agent for your real estate needs!

My husband and I just went through the process of selling our home and purchasing another while working with our agent, Rob. Let me just say, I do not have enough great things to say about Rob. I will be the first to admit that I am not an easy client to work with but Rob was kind, patient and extremely knowledgeable through it all. There were times we questioned things but he proved us wrong every single time! We changed our minds, a lot, and no matter what our idea was for that moment, he jumped right in and started down that path. Day or night, Rob was willing to listen and assist. I think we’ve found our home until our kids grow up and move off to college but if we do decide to move again, we will definitely be using Rob.

Not enough stars to rate our experience with Christi Mercer. She remains well educated and updated on the newest information. It’s always nice when someone is passionate about what they are doing and it is reflected in the work. I ask a lot of questions and Christi was prepared. The most honorable thing I loved about our home buying experience was that regardless of our budget Christi showed that same energy from start to finish and always kept our budget and best interests in mind and not just what the sale could do for her. We have our forever home and we have continued to send our friends to her. If and when the time comes for us to purchase another home or sell we will totally be going with Christi and her company again.

To the best realtor in Charlotte NC Omar gorham he is a real one . He was always available when I needed him , he push me more than I pushed myself ! I would say he care genuinely to make sure me and my kids got into a good neighborhood which really meant a lot to me . It’s been about 9months since I have been on my house Journey and I can say this Omar stayed on top of things he worked all hrs sending me homes 2 -3am in the morning lol if I had to do this over again I would choose Omar a million times . When you talk about persistent , hardworking , professional , kind hearted , soft-spoken , down to earth and driven I can say Omar Gorham fits that description very well . I would highly recommend him for the job .

Highly recommend working with Brooke at Yancey! I worked with Brooke for about 3 years trying to find the perfect place for me. It took me awhile to find what I wanted, but I was fortunate to have such a great realtor who helped me make decisions and didn’t push me to buy a place I ultimately didn’t want. She was a great source of knowledge when it came to neighborhoods, understanding true value of the house, quality of builder / materials, and more. In addition, after I bought my place, and I ran into basic first time homeowner issues (like why the furnace or dishwasher wasn’t working) she helped me work through them. Thank you Brooke for helping me find a great place for three years!

My mother and I were fortunate to have found Justine Hill, an outstanding, knowledgeable, reliable, honest, good listener realtor. She was there for us every step of the way, always available when we needed her to be.Justine was prompt answering every single text, e-mail or phone call or even meeting personally to go over every single aspect that was important for out of state buyers like us. Justine did not only meet all our expectations as a realtor but was also personable, with a good sense of humor and a friendly attitude. We highly recommend her if you’re ever looking for a licensed realtor in North and South Carolina. Thank you , Justine !

I can not say enough great things about my experience working with Julie Siragusa at Yancey Realty. I couldn’t have anticipated a more thoughtful, knowledgeable, and punctual expert in the home buying business in Charlotte! Julie walked me through every step of the process and made the home buying process move smoothly. When buying a home it’s important to know all of your options and to have every question answered. Julie makes sure to do just that. She treats you as if you are her only client and always gets back to you right away with all the details you asked about. Highly recommended this agency and their wonderful agent!

One Outstanding Realtor! Having experienced several home purchases and sales in my lifetime, I can honestly say that my experience with Ms Siragusa was by far the best! She asked all the right questions about what we were looking for and didn’t waste our time with showings of homes that we would never consider. She was always prompt and available to suit our schedule requests. I felt like she was truly happy for us when we found exactly what we were looking for. And finally, she so impressed us away with her negotiation skills, getting us the best value for a fair price. Kudos to Julie Siragusa! Thank you so very much!!

I referred my best friends to Christi Mercer at Yancey Realty and they were OVER THE MOON at her service. Christi met them on a Thursday and got a really good understanding for what they were looking for. She did some research for them and found an off market property that was a perfect fit in a wonderful neighborhood. She showed them the property as soon as she could and they were under contract within a few days. NOT EVEN A WEEK with my referral and they had a house! I will send everyone I know to Christi in the Charlotte, Hickory and Boone area. She took care of them & they are so happy with their new home!!

The Yancey Realty team has gone above and beyond. Brooke was extremely helpful with the home purchase (first time home buyer). Brooke took care of all interface with the sellers, sellers' agent, inspections, lawyers, and has continued to provide advice and support post-close. The process was seamless and I was guided step-by-step. I recommend Brooke to those wishing to buy. Further, Franklin and Brooke provided advice post-close on potential sale opportunities and have provided the market and industry knowledge to inform potential decisions; I will definitely call them when I look to either sell or buy again.

Gloria was great from the beginning stages of our home search to closing. We moved from Chicago to Charlotte, and she made sure we were aware of everything no detail was to small. I never felt like a burden, I appreciated the level of communication and her willingness to answer every and all questions. She truly cares about her clients, she went out her way to make sure we were comfortable and knowledgeable. I’m actively trying to get family members to move to Charlotte and I will be definitely recommending Gloria. Her quality of work is unmatched.

I can not say enough fabulous, wonderful, spectacular things about Heather Smith with Yancey Realty. Heather was honest, professional, responsive, intuitive and very knowledgeable. As a first time home buyer she was able to help me seamlessly through the process and make me feel at ease. I would recommend Heather to anyone and everyone! She goes above and beyond by taking extra time to understand what you are looking for and matching her search to meet you where you are. Her communication was superb both with me as a buyer and the sellers.

Last year I was preparing to move to Charlotte from Philadelphia and I called Yancy Realty in regards to a home for rent. Shelly called me back and was so helpful throughout the remaining of transition to Charlotte. She kept her eyes and ears open for available rentals that would be available around the time of my move. Shelly is very professional and has a great personality. I am thankful for her because she really helped my move to Charlotte a successful one.

Julie did an excellent job helping me find my first home! She was helpful in recommending areas in which to look and explaining costs associated with a fixer upper. She was able to negotiate everything I asked for from the sellers, and did it all within my predetermined budget. She has a great network of vendors that I used along the way from the lender, inspector, roofer, plumber, GC, you name it! You would not regret using Julie to buy or sell your next home.

Christi Mercer is the best realtor that we’ve ever worked with by far (and we’ve worked with quite a few!) She is so quick to respond, available whenever you need to get a quick showing, and she is on top of new listings. I love Christi’s positive, sweet attitude most of all — you can tell she really cares for you and wants the best for you and your family. It was so refreshing to work with her and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience!

Julie Siragusa helped me find my perfect home over 2 years ago, and she STILL regularly checks in with me. Throughout the entire purchasing process she was kind, thoughtful, patient, and made sure I was well taken care of every step along the way. She is a phenomenal representation of the overall Yancey Realty team, and I implore anyone looking to buy or sell a home to consult with them. I will definitely be using them in the future!

worked w tracy and she held us hostage after expressing our discomfort with working with her. we were pressured to buy every house we toured. not listening to our concerns. had to pay 3k to leave the company? and i would do it again to work with the amazing company we found shortly after (check my other reviews shortly for our go-to company) my partner (who IS in your records) and i did NOT feel comfortable working with these people.

From day one, Omar G. has been and continues to be professional, courteous, and exhibits the utmost patience during our home buying process. Our original plan did not work out but due to Omar's perseverance and go-getter spirit, we are on our way to the finish line in purchasing our first home. Stay tuned, the best is yet to come for Omar G and the Yancy Realty staff. Sincerely, Roger & Rovetta Sturdivant and Family

Christi Mercer is the best! She treated us like we were her only client (and I know she was juggling a lot)! She helped us manage through a very quick buy/sell process with ease. She guided us, answered a thousand questions and help us get the best offer and best deal for our new place! Can’t say enough good things about working with her. She makes a very stressful process easy and is just a wonderful person!

Christi Mercer is the BEST! Christi was extremely organized through the entire process (which was literally only about a month because she got us in an OFF MARKET HOUSE that quickly)!!! She was a great advocate. Being a first time home buyer can be intimidating, but she was so patient and made the process seamless. She thoroughly explained everything for us. I seriously cannot rave about Christi enough!

Meeting Shelli has been wonderful. As a single mom it’s important that a realtor has my best interests financially. Consulting with Shelli has changed the way I view realtors. She’s empathetic to my needs yet definitively sure of the options she provides. She’s become more than a great realtor, but a family friend. Thanks so much. I hope other women like myself have the pleasure of meeting you.

Christi is the best realtor out there and will work very hard for her clients! She worked with us as first time homebuyers and helped walk us through all the steps of what needed to be done as well as understanding it since it can be quite confusing at times. We love her and certainly plan to use her again in the future one day when looking to sell our current home and buying our next one.

I just co-brokered a deal with Costner Merrifield. My buyer client purchased her clients listing. Costner was an absolute professional from start to finish. I wish there were more agents that were as good as her. She was timely with communication, handled problems without hesitation, and made sure the deal got to the closing table. I hope to work with her again.

My husband and I worked with Zach at Yancey Realty for the recent purchase of our home! Zach was responsive and open to our changing minds when it came to location, house size, etc. Zach is extremely knowledgeable of the Charlotte area and was able to offer a lot of insight into the different areas. We cannot recommend Yancey Realty or Zach enough - thank you!

Justine was extremely helpful when it came to finding and buying our home. We are first time home buyers from out of state. Justine helped us set up virtual showings, sometimes on short notice and ensured all of our questions were answered. I will highly recommend Justine and Yancey Realty to anyone else who is looking to purchase a home.

Christi Mercer has assisted many people I know in a variety of ways when it comes to finding their (starter, fixer upper & forever) homes. I know for sure that she has a wealth of knowledge ready to share at any time when inquiring minds want to know. Whenever the time comes for me to venture into buying she will be the my realtor.

Christi Mercer is INCREDIBLE! She is fun, energetic, very knowledgeable, professional, and really wants what is best for her clients. She makes buying or selling a home an event and just a good time… even the paperwork feels like a party with Christi. So glad to call her my realtor and friend! Look no further. She’s the bomb.com

Raquel was so prepared for our first meeting. She really did her homework from the beginning, and kept on it through the whole process. She was very friendly, honest, and had our best interest at heart. We would absolutely recommend Raquel for anyone looking to sell or buy, particularly if you want that personal touch.

Robert Davis' experience and positive personality shine above the rest. I am so impressed with his responsiveness and wealth of knowledge. He took the time to educate us on the process, answer any questions, and provide impecible recommendations. I would highly recommend Rob Davis to anyone needing a realtor.

I am very impressed with the way my account was handled. Lisa Hanna assisted me with the entire process, and everything was settled in one month. I have shared my experiences with friends, and I strongly recommend that they allow Lisa Hanna to assist them with purchasing their next home.

We’ve worked with several realtors over the years and Franklin Yancey and his team top the list. They were highly knowledgeable and attentive throughout the experience; from pre-listing advice, marketing, negotiating, and navigating the closing process. Thank you Franklin!

Gloria Leguillow is amazing! I’m extremely happy with her service. She understood my vision and the process of purchasing a home was easy thanks to her. Thank you Gloria! If you need someone who’s quick, helpful, kind and a good negotiator, Gloria Leguillow is the one!

We LOVE working with Christi Mercer - she's a great referral partner to us in business AND an amazing real estate agent for our borrowers. Definitely someone you want in your corner in this crazy market & everyone on Katie's Team at Cross Country love her to death!! :)

I had the privilege of working with Lisa and I was extremely pleased with the quality of work. From start to finish she gave me 100% of her time. Lisa has demonstrated that she is experienced and passionate about her work. She also has excellent communication skills.

We are first time home buyers and Brooke made it easy for us. She was very responsive and supportive on our home buying journey! She did everything remotely for us since we were not able to be there in person. I highly recommend Brooke! Thank you, Brooke!

Christi Mercer is one of the best realtors. You can tell she is passionate about helping her clients make the most informed decisions. And as a teacher myself, I appreciate her ability to educate her clients on the current market conditions!

Yancey Reality is a wonderful company to do business with. I’ve had the privilege of working with Mr. Omar G. He is very knowledgeable and very professional. I will definitely send my family and friends his way. Thank You Yancey Reality!!

No one has more energy and excitement for others than Christi Mercer. Whether it’s a new house or a new sweater, she’s ready to help anyone find what they want and celebrate when they get it. You definitely want her in your corner!

We purchased our home in August with Shelli Hayes as our agent at Yancy Reality. We found Shelli to be responsive, honest, forthcoming and helpful. We would definitely use Shelli and Yancy Reality with any future needs.

Julie was the best! My husband and I are first time home buyers and she made the home buying process easy and painless. She worked to get us the best deal and guided us through the process. I highly recommend her!

Working with Christi Mercer has been a true pleasure. She consistently went above and beyond expectations of home buying. I would recommend her to anybody. She is filled with love for what she does, and it shows.

Brooke was our agent and she was fantastic to work with! Quick, around the clock responses, great at explaining everything we didn’t understand in the process and just fun to be around. Highly recommend!!

We started working with Ashley Diaz at Yancey Realty and I cannot express enough how professional and FAST she is! I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends and family. Great services. WOW!

I am very happy with my newly purchased house. Thank you Julie for your help. I can't not find this beautiful home without your help. Highly recommend the team- very professional and responsive!
