About Joye Baucom, CRS, GRI, ABR, e-PRO:
Actually being a native, I offer a wide perspective of the area and its appeal. I have been listing and selling real estate since 1980 and am associated with one of the most prominent and successful residential real estate firms in the Charlotte region. I share Dan and John's passion for service, integrity, and going the extra mile for clients and customers. They have provided a family atmosphere where relationships and old-fashioned values are tremendously important. I share their commitment to superior service and value the relationship and support as it translates into working with every seller or buyer.
I embraced the internet technology for serving our real estate needs and became an e-PRO, a technology certification held by about l% of all Realtors worldwide. With on-line home tours, you can virtually see more homes and I can link you to MLS and a system to alert you by e-mail when new homes suiting your needs come on the market or reduce their price.
My husband Don and I have lived in Charlotte since 1960. Charlotte afforded us every opportunity to establish our careers, raise our family, and enjoy life to the fullest. Many people seek retirement destinations but I feel Charlotte has it all.
