About Chris:
With more than 20 years of experience as a licensed broker and real estate investor, I've closed hundreds of transactions and built a personal portfolio of properties throughout Charlotte. That experience allows me to advise clients with a long-term perspective — evaluating opportunities through both market fundamentals and wealth-building strategy.
Together with my wife and business partner, Stacy Carter, I co-founded Carter Group Realtors to help clients make confident, well-timed decisions — whether navigating the complexity of buying and selling at the same time, relocating, or investing strategically in established neighborhoods.
Real estate is a life transition, not just a transaction.
I focus on understanding what matters most to each client: building wealth, timing a move right, or finding a home in a neighborhood that fits your lifestyle. That means asking tough questions, evaluating long-term implications, and sometimes advising clients not to move when the time isn't right.
Our work has earned more than 160 verified Google reviews, reflecting steady guidance and long-term relationships built one client at a time.
Where I Work
I specialize in Charlotte's most established neighborhoods:
Dilworth — Charlotte's most prestigious historic neighborhood
Myers Park — Elegant estates and mature properties
Sedgefield — Tree-lined streets and neighborhood character
Wilmore — Historic charm, walkable lifestyle
SouthPark — Luxury homes and estates
Elizabeth — Eclectic, artsy community
And other established Charlotte neighborhoods
I'm particularly focused on helping clients who want to invest strategically in neighborhoods with strong fundamentals, good schools, and long-term appreciation potential.
My Background
Licensed Broker, CPA & Real Estate Investor
-
20+ years in Charlotte real estate
-
Licensed broker (NC License #235499) specializing in residential transactions and investment property analysis
-
Personal investor with a portfolio of properties across Charlotte
-
Closed hundreds of transactions from first-time buyers to complex multi-property portfolios

Philosophy: Long-Term Thinking
I evaluate every transaction through two lenses:
-
Market fundamentals — Is this the right time? Is this the right price?
-
Wealth-building strategy — How does this property fit into a long-term financial plan?
That's why clients often consult me years before they're ready to move — to understand their options and plan strategically.
What Clients Say
Christopher Shepler
Seller, Dilworth
I can't recommend Chris & Stacy enough. I was referred to them by someone I trust and they were fantastic partners as I sold my home. Their knowledge of the market, keen marketing skills and attention to detail were all outstanding. I moved away from Charlotte in September so their willingness to work with local vendors to address various items during the process was invaluable. I have since referred them to two other sellers and would be happy to refer them to anyone who is looking to buy/sell in Charlotte."
Ron & Shaunna
Relocation Buyer, Dilworth
After working with Stacy and Chris Carter for nearly three years, we can say without hesitation that choosing them as our realtors was absolutely the right choice. We were searching for our new home in Charlotte while living on the West Coast, which meant navigating a three-hour time difference, countless phone calls, virtual tours, and many trips back and forth. Through every stage of the process, Stacy and Chris showed up for us with unwavering patience, enthusiasm, and professionalism. What truly sets Chris and Stacy apart is not only their expertise, but their character. Their deep understanding of Charlotte—and especially Dilworth, where they themselves live—gave us tremendous confidence throughout the process. If you're looking for realtors who will truly invest in your journey, advocate for your interests, and help you find not just a house but a home, we wholeheartedly recommend Stacy and Chris Carter.
Kat Keating,
Buyer and Seller, Dilworth & Wilmore
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Stacy and Chris Carter — they're not just our realtors, they're now our friends and neighbors! Over coffee one morning, we discovered how much we had in common — it felt like fate. While on our way to Asheville celebrating our one-year wedding anniversary, we got a text from the Carters that changed everything: an off-market opportunity to be their neighbors on Kingston Ave. From that first text message through closing, Stacy and Chris were there every step of the way. Even after closing, they've continued to help us think through design and remodeling ideas. On both the buying and selling sides, Stacy and Chris made us feel like family. Business is truly personal for the Carters, and we are endlessly grateful for the relationship we've built.

Stacy and Chris are an absolutely unbeatable team! When we needed answers, they were provided in detail and extremely quickly. They were both thoughtful and endlessly kind throughout our home purchase, and never too busy to return our messages. My husband and I have moved 17 times together and I cannot recommend the Carter team highly enough — we could feel that Stacy and Chris truly care. They didn't just want to sell us a home; it was a point of pride to them that we found the right home. We were so blessed to have been referred to this dynamic duo, and they were so patient with us and our very unique needs. They were right there as our advocates the entire way and found us an incredible, amazing home. We're now working with them to help us find a vacation home — we're so lucky to have partnered with them, and to now call them friends as we relocate to Charlotte.
