Where I Work
My Background
Real Estate Advisor & Home Marketing Strategist
-
Co-founder of Carter Group Realtors, licensed broker (NC License #349195)
-
Background in art, design, and marketing — applied directly to home positioning
-
Specializes in pricing strategy, staging direction, and listing presentation
-
Advisor to sellers navigating simultaneous buy/sell transitions
-
Hands-on guidance from first conversation through closing
I evaluate every listing through the lens of how a buyer will experience it — online first, then in person. That means:
Philosophy: Presentation Is Strategy
-
Pricing strategy — Priced right from day one, not chasing the market down
-
Presentation — Staging, photography, and storytelling that make a home memorable
-
Timing — Understanding when to list, when to wait, and how to sequence a simultaneous move
That's why sellers come to me before they're ready to list — to build a plan, not just take photos.
About Stacy:
I'm Stacy Carter, a Charlotte-based real estate advisor and co-founder of Carter Group Realtors, a family-run firm serving Dilworth and Charlotte's most established neighborhoods.
Together, my husband Chris Carter and I specialize in guiding homeowners and buyers through meaningful transitions — selling and buying at the same time, moving up or downsizing, relocating, or making strategic real estate investments. Our role is to help clients make confident, well-timed decisions that support long-term financial goals, not just short-term outcomes.
With more than 160 verified Google reviews accumulated over years of serving families in Dilworth and established Charlotte neighborhoods, our work reflects steady guidance, thoughtful strategy, and long-term relationships built one client at a time.
My Approach
A home has to be positioned to perform, not just listed.
With a background in art, design, and marketing, I focus on positioning homes for maximum impact through pricing strategy, presentation, and storytelling — ensuring each property stands out and performs in today's market. Great photography, thoughtful staging, and the right price aren't extras. They're the difference between a home that sits and a home that sells in days.
As a husband-and-wife advisory team, Chris and I provide calm communication and hands-on guidance from the first conversation through closing.
What Clients Say
Courtland Kunz
First time Buyer
It's taken me a while to write this because I can't quite find the words to express how much Chris and Stacy mean to us. We started house hunting with a random Zillow-assigned agent before a friend connected us to Chris and Stacy — and we are forever grateful she did. From our first conversation, they were in our corner, rooting for us and guiding us toward our forever home. When we found a house we loved but thought we couldn't afford, Chris said, 'Why don't you put in an offer for what you can afford? The worst they can say is no.' That's how we got our dream home. On closing day, we found the house was leaking during our final walkthrough — Chris and Stacy jumped on the phone immediately and got it resolved so we still closed just 3 days later. They guided two clueless homebuyers through one of the biggest decisions of our lives and became not just guides, but friends. If you're even thinking about buying a home, contact Carter Group Realtors — let Chris and Stacy guide you the whole way.
Dylan Hooper,
Repeat Client, Seller
We recently sold our home in Charlotte with Chris and Stacy Carter — the same team who helped us buy it four years ago. This time, with Stacy on board, they delivered a level of service that exceeded our expectations. Stacy's innovative marketing approach, paired with Chris's strategic guidance, ensured our home was perfectly staged and showcased for maximum impact — their cutting-edge marketing strategies got our home under contract the very day it hit the market, above asking price. Their full-service approach was invaluable, coordinating everything from stagers to handymen, especially since we were moving out of state. Their mission, 'to make difficult easy,' couldn't be more accurate — they navigated multiple offers and negotiated top dollar for our home. If you're seeking realtors who provide top-notch market insight and work efficiently to achieve outstanding results, Chris and Stacy Carter are the team to call.
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.

- Sellers who want their home positioned and marketed at the highest level

- Clients navigating simultaneous buying and selling
- Homeowners preparing to list who want a staging and pricing strategy, not just a sign in the yard
What Makes Stacy's Approach to Selling Different?
Stacy's background in art, design, and marketing shapes how she approaches every listing. Instead of simply listing a home, she builds a positioning strategy — staging direction, professional photography, pricing, and storytelling — designed to make the home stand out and sell quickly.
Does Stacy Handle Staging?
Yes. Stacy provides hands-on staging direction for every listing, helping sellers understand what to highlight, what to declutter, how to present each room to appeal to today's buyers, and working with local stagers to provide furniture as needed. This is one of the most requested parts of her process.
What Neighborhoods Does Stacy Know Best?
Stacy specializes in Charlotte's established neighborhoods, especially Dilworth, where she and Chris live. She also works extensively in Myers Park, Sedgefield, and Wilmore — neighborhoods with historic character that require thoughtful, tailored marketing.
How Does Stacy Approach Pricing Strategy?
Stacy prices homes to perform from day one rather than starting high and chasing the market down. Correct pricing combined with strong presentation typically leads to faster sales, more showings in the first weekend, and stronger offers.
Can Stacy Help With Buying and Selling at the Same Time?
Yes — this is a specialty for Stacy and Chris as a team. They help clients sequence their sale and purchase strategically, minimizing the stress of a simultaneous transition and reducing the risk of being without a home (or carrying two mortgages).
What's Stacy's Background Before Real Estate?
Stacy's background is in art, design, and marketing. She brings that experience directly into real estate — treating every listing as a marketing project that requires strategy, visual storytelling, and a clear understanding of buyer psychology.
How Involved Is Stacy Throughout the Process?
Very. As a husband-and-wife team, Stacy and Chris provide hands-on guidance from the first conversation through closing — not a hand-off to a transaction coordinator partway through.
