Janet Clampitt, Charlotte NC

“We were referred by a relative living in Charlotte to Lawrence and Marcus when purchasing our first home. As first time homebuyers in a market with rising interest rates and a lot of competition, we had a lot of questions and uncertainty during the home buying process. Lawrence did an amazing job of answering all of our questions, referring us to the right professionals, and showing us homes in all different neighborhoods of Charlotte. Lawrence was extremely knowledgeable about Charlotte and instrumental in our decision to buy in the SouthPark area. We are so happy with our purchase and cannot say enough good things about Lawrence and Marcus. They continue to send us gift certificates and deals to new restaurants and shops around Charlotte and also plan fun events and giveaways throughout the year. We would highly recommend using Lawrence and Marcus when looking to rent or purchase in the Charlotte area. You won't be disappointed in their level of service and professionalism.”

“The next time we buy a house in Charlotte, we will be using Marcus. His professionalism, knowledge, and focus was exactly what we needed during this process, especially as first time home buyers. Marcus helped us get clear on what we wanted, brought a wealth of local & industry knowledge, and guided us through the process swiftly & smoothly. And he negotiated us a great deal. We are so happy with our home purchase and could not be more grateful for Marcus's guidance & partnership along the way.”

“Marcus was amazing to work with! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the Charlotte market and was very communicative throughout the whole search and buying process. We had full trust in the advice we got, and he was always on top of making sure we could see the houses we had interest in as soon as the game on market. If we ever look for a new home again, Marcus will be our first and only call.”

Ben Andersen, Charlotte, NC

“I cannot say enough great things about Marcus and this team! Marcus perfectly understood our needs and wants and worked within our timeline without adding any pressure or stress. Marcus was intentional in advising us on our options and considerations and was always available when we needed. Even when Marcus was out of town, he made sure to keep us informed and ensured Lawrence was up-to-speed to assist us if necessary. Marcus is a pleasure to work with and not only made the hectic experience of buying a home easy but fun. I can't imagine working with anyone other than Marcus or Lawrence to buy or sell a home and would recommend them above all others.”

“From the very first time that I spoke with Lawrence Mahool I immediately felt comfortable dealing with him. It was obvious that he cares about his clients, not just making a sale. It was a pleasure working with Lawrence Mahool on our adventure. Not only was he knowledgeable but we felt he went above and beyond. He used his multitude of contacts to obtain additional information for us multiple times during the process making it much easier to make our decision. He was always reachable and very responsive. Lawrence Mahool and Marcus Nance were with us every step of the way from the beginning of our search to beyond closing and have treated us like family. We would highly recommend them to anyone.”

“Lawrence did a phenomenal job with us throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand what we wanted and needed in a home and nieghborhood. He was so thorough in exploring houses we found and asked him to look into. We fully trusted him to help us with our process. We could not have asked for a better experience! Such a great person through and through. We absolutely love our home and neighborhood and could not have done it without Lawrence. THANK YOU!”

Tracy and Matthew Ziebell, Palisades

“We live in another state, so not being familiar with the area put us at a real dis-advantage. Marcus was knowledgeable and educated us about the state realty laws in NC, local communities, and options. Marcus definitely exceeded our expectations! He was friendly, knowledgable, patient, and did a great job of explaining the process without "pressuring" us to make a decision. We will definitely work with him again if the opportunity presents itself.”

Linda Milani, Cleveland, OH

“Marcus and Lawrence were the best realtors we've ever worked with. They're knowledgeable, patient, experts in their space, and work non-stop on our behalf. We won't ever use another agent again and we're so glad we had the chance to work with them. They're THAT good.”

“Absolutely would recommend and will use again and again for any real estate needs. You could not find a better professional to help with buying or selling real estate. Thanks again for all of your help!”

John Pieters, Charlotte NC

“When meeting Lawrence years ago after we moved into the neighborhood, I recall saying in passing, "When the time comes to sell our house, I'll likely be calling you up." I knew early on he is good at what he does just based on his knowledge of the area and the market. Sure enough fast forward to ~6 years of wonderful friendship and being neighbors, it was one of the best decisions we made. Lawrence and Marcus are a great team and work very well together. It resulted in going under contract on our first day on the market under desirable circumstances for our family. They are transparent and open about their recommendations, they give you the data to make informed decisions about offers and/or clauses in the contract, and overall they made the process extremely easy. Incredibly responsive to texts/calls at crazy hours throughout the entire process just to get the job done. Extremely grateful for the support and professional approach to the job even though we've known Lawrence for years. Doing business with friends is sometimes a risk, but not with Lawrence. He exceeded our expectations.”

“Our experience with Marcus could not have been better! It was our first experience buying a house in the USA and we felt Marcus support on each step of the way. Marcus knowledge was a key element that helped us to make smarter decisions, as beyond our home, the house was also an investment for us. He went above and beyond during the negotiations, always prioritizing what really matter to us, attending all our expectations. We highly recommend Marcus services. Beyond an excellent professional, he is very kind, patient and will help you to find the best opportunities!”

“This is our third transaction with Lawrence and Marcus. They deftly navigated us through both purchases and sales of properties in Charlotte and we couldn't be happier with the outcomes. They always have a plan that they clearly communicate and efficiently execute on. We had a few complicated situations arise and they did the research on the appropriate actions to take. We always felt that they have gone above and beyond in a challenging market like Charlotte. We will continue to use their expertise in the future.”

“My experience with Marcus and Lawrence was incredible. I dealt with Marcus for the majority of meetings/communication and could not recommend them more highly. They were extremely helpful throughout our entire buying process and I have already been recommending them to friends and other business relationships. In the current world of transactional relationships and poor customer service, Marcus and Lawrence are a breath of fresh air.”

Jordan Berry, Charlotte

“We had a great experience working with Marcus! One of our favorite aspects about Marcus is his relaxed personality -- something we really valued when embarking on our home search. Buying a home is a pivotal life event, and we appreciated that Marcus calmly navigated the market with us and never created a high-pressure environment. He made our home buying experience enjoyable and stress-free. Marcus was always knowledgeable when dissecting comps or details of a proposed negotiation. He was happy to answer our (at times) many questions, and he consistently expressed his accessibility, as he was always a text or phone-call away. We recommend Marcus to anyone looking to sell or buy a home!”

Chris & Sarah - Charlotte NC

“Working with Lawrence on the purchase of our first home was a dream! From the moment we reached out to get the ball rolling, to the day we closed, Lawrence was incredibly communicative, knowledgable, kind, and patient with us as we navigated the process. Not to mention, he made house hunting fun! We are confident he will be our agent of choice when it comes to future buying and selling needs.”

“Working with Lawrence is always great. He response quickly and makes me feel like I'm his only customer, but I know that's not the case.

You were always available to answer our questions and provide updates, and you went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the transaction went smoothly. In addition to your exceptional real estate skills, we also appreciated your friendly and warm personality. You made the entire experience enjoyable, and we felt like you had out best interests at heart. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in the market for a new home. Your professionalism, expertise, and commitment to excellence set you apart from other agents and make you a true standout in the real estate industry.”

“I am a financial industry professional with over 30 years experience. The important factor is reputation. The decision was driven by the referral of a business partner that worked with Lawrence before and several other business partners that are known to me. With my relocation, understanding my needs, asking clarifying questions and local area knowledge were the key drivers for choosing to work with Lawrence. Previously I used REMAX for my last three home purchases. I would definitely call Lawrence again in the future and have already referred two other friends to him. Lawrence has a fantastic knowledge of the NC and SC area. He listens well and asks probing questions. Lawrence recommended to check out the area I purchased my home in that was not even on my radar, even after months of searching online prior to my relocation. After my move to the Charlotte area, I found my dream home within two weekends and closed within 30 days. Exceptional industry leader.”

“As first-time homeowners and with the added complication of purchasing a home while living out of state, Marcus Nance was with us every step of the way. Any questions we had, Marcus would make himself available to answer (via email/text/phone) at any time of day. He truly took the time to understand what was important to us and prioritized the search to find us the right home in an incredibly condensed period of time. Closing happened very quickly, and Marcus never dropped the ball - seamlessly coordinating between us, the seller, the attorneys, and the inspectors. He could not have done a better job, and I could not recommend him more highly.”

Amy Clark, Charlotte

“Lawrence and Marcus are a fantastic team. We have worked with them for close to 15 years buying and selling multiple homes as we've grown. From our first townhome before we got married, to hopefully this forever home - there's no one else we would have considered working with. Their knowledge of the market, responsiveness, care for their clients' best interests and willingness to go above and beyond is unparalleled. Marcus even went crawling through a crawl space for us in an extreme situation. They answer every call, provide valued counsel and always work to ensure their clients are happy. They have transitioned from realtors to deeply appreciated friends. We highly recommend Lawrence and Marcus to everyone.”

“This is our second time working with Lawrence (and occasionally Marcus). As always, they do the best job at keeping us at ease during the whole process. We felt like we could really trust them and their knowledge of homebuying. We will never use anyone else as a realtor and will continue to refer Lawrence to our friends, with 100% confidence. We really felt like Lawrence and Marcus would do anything for us that we needed. They are the best, y'all!!”

“Lawrence Mahool was recommended to us by a close friend, and we are so glad she did. During our initial search we probably talked to dozens of agents to help us with the buying process and there were others who seemed like good possibilities, although none ever felt like the right fit. However, Lawrence's knowledge of Charlotte and its neighborhoods, his understanding of the current market, and his depth of experience and expertise of the whole process set him apart from the others. On top of that he is just a great guy--friendly, positive, and a pleasure to work with. We hit it off from the start. He was always willing to talk or text if something came up, and was always available to us at any time. He treated the transaction as important to him as it was to us, and he made us feel he would devote whatever time was required. He gave great advice and suggestions without ever seeming pushy. We have bought and sold many houses over the years, and this was one of the smoothest transactions ever--even though it was a difficult time to buy. He allowed us to navigate an uncertain market and made us confident we were making the right decision. We would recommend Lawrence to anyone, and we consider him a friend for life!”

“Our experience with Marcus was phenomenal. He offered great advice from first conversation to closing. He continuously kept us informed of our selling situation with the dynamic market conditions. His communication and timeliness with us and potential buyers made this a zero stress experience. Marcus has the knowledge and expertise to support you every step of the way. We recommend him without reservation.”

“My brother and parents worked with Marcus Nance when buying in the Charlotte, NC, and Lake Wylie, SC areas. So, when home buying was on the horizon for me, reaching out to Marcus was a no-brainer. From the beginning, Marcus understood my home requirements (e.g. location was super important to me), while also helping to open my perspective (e.g. there are places very close to Uptown Charlotte that are in my price range). Marcus is always professional, honest, and communicative - qualities that made my 9-month home-buying experience (I purchased a new-build townhome) far less stressful than it could have been. I always felt comfortable reaching out to Marcus with questions and advice, and he was quick to respond and calm my worries. Thank you Marcus for your help during this incredibly exciting (and nerve-racking) time!”

“We have worked with Marcus before when we purchased our first home together. He did an amazing job then and we knew we would never consider another realtor! Marcus was quick to answer our questions in a way that was easy for us to understand. He was always accessible, and if there was any reason he'd be unavailable, his partner Lawrence was also quick to reply and up to date on all matters regarding our home sale. We felt comfortable right away with Marcus's plan for listing our home. His expertise in knowing exactly how to price the home, when to list it and how to advertise made it a successful sale. Marcus not only had a stellar plan for our listing, but he had the connections necessary to make our sale possible. He knew exactly who to contact for all the updates required to make our listing really shine. Due to his excellent relationship building, he was able to put us in touch with painters, carpet installation professionals, cleaners and more to make sure that our home was in impeccable condition prior to listing.”

“Lawrence and Marcus are excellent to work with. You'll get high quality professionalism with great character and a personal approach. They are attentive and responsive and I've always enjoyed working with them. In my most recent sale, they got more value for my property than I was expecting. I will be working with them again for sure.”

The Jacksons, Charlotte NC

“This was my first time buying a house and Marcus went above and beyond my expectations of what I hoped for from a realtor. He is charismatic, organized, high energy and super knowledgable about the Charlotte housing market. He set up numerous showings on my behalf and did not pressure me to buy a house at any time--he even talked me out of a house that I was on the fence with because he could tell I was not truly excited about it. Marcus was incredible with communication and helped me stay on top of all the deadlines so that I could close in a timely manner. Trying to find a house during this market time was certainly a daunting task and I am still in disbelief that I am the owner of my literal dream house. I am so grateful to Marcus for all his help with this process and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to find their own dream house in Charlotte.”

“My husband and I engaged Marcus in October to help us find our first home, and we had the BEST experience! We also had the pleasure of working with Lawrence, and both of these guys are just awesome and extremely knowledgeable. Marcus was quick to respond when we reached out and set up and meeting with us that week to get to know us and walk us through the home-buying process and the Charlotte real estate market. We were prepared to look for a home for months and get multiple offers rejected, given the low inventory this time of year and competitive market. However, we found our house in just TWO WEEKS and our offer was accepted! If it weren’t for Marcus and Lawrence helping us put together a compelling offer, we wouldn’t have known how to navigate the multiple-offer situation. Marcus also helped us every step of the way during the closing process, going the extra mile in every way. We just closed last week and couldn’t be happier with the whole process - it was much more fun than we ever thought it would be, thanks to these guys. If you are looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond for you, look no further than Mahool Nance Realtors!”

“We met Marcus Nance prior to having used his services. He was friendly and had good vibes. His services came recommended by a mutual friend. We are glad we went with our guts! He seems to know Charlotte like the back of his hand. He demonstrated he had our best interests at heart by being genuine and sincere in his observations and reflections on individual houses and the market itself. He kept things friendly and professional in his interactions between us and sellers. He taught us a lot throughout the process. We appreciate him, his lessons, and insights. The gentleman is top-notch. We enjoyed the software employed by the office. We were able to search efficiently and receive timely feedback from Marcus Nance regarding properties of interest. We really can't say enough good things. He hit it out of the park and we are living in our dream home. In less than two months we were turning a key and opening our new front door. The experience was surreal. He guided us in excellent ways. We wish the best for him and will gladly utilize his services again.”

“Marcus and co. took great care of me and guided me through my first-time home buying experience. I knew nothing about the process and he did a good job making sure I was comfortable and understood everything as we went through, and went above and beyond helping me find contractors and third party vendors to help with whatever I needed for the new place.”

Ali, Charlotte

“We never know how well a realtor will work for us until we experience that person ourselves, so we selected Marcus Nance based only on a neighbor's general recommendation. We worked with him off and on for roughly 3 years, both as buyer and seller agent. He was always patient with us, as our needs were very particular, and came through in the end with great strategies for both purchase of our new home and selling of our old. He consistently responded almost immediately to our texts/calls, and was always very accommodating. My husband and I both had a great experience working with him; in fact, he was the only realtor we've ever used with whom we had a totally positive experience.”
