Damien H.

The Finigan Group did an amazing job selling my property. Joshua is amazing at advertising, following up on leads and monitoring the market. He kept me informed consistently through the process, and was very responsive to any questions I had. I was never in doubt that my house was being aggressively marketed. Most importantly he got results. I will definitely be working with The Finigan Group on future projects.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words, Damien! You are such a pleasure to work with and we're very excited to work with you going forward too! Congratulations again!

Jason T.

Josh and his team were fantastic. They helped us really get our house sold in a timely fashion and they just gave five star client service the entire way I highly recommend them.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much, Jason! It was such a pleasure working with you, and we are so excited for you and Jess. Congratulations again!

Debbie J.

What can I say… Josh is one of the most professional and best negotiators I have had the pleasure to deal with. Not only did he get my house on the market with beautiful photos and descriptions he put it live on a Friday and by Sunday we had multiple showings along with offers for full ask. Not only did he secure a legitimate offer but was able to secure a back up. His negotiating skills came to the forefront when it was time to close and many obstacles presented themselves. And Hayley was amazing at keeping me informed and understanding every step that was going on!!! I would recommend Josh to any and everyone I know!!! Josh is not only an amazing agent he truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to make the best deal for everyone!!!

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for letting us be a part of this process with you, Debbie! Congratulations again! It was a pleasure working with you, and we are so happy to have you as part of The Finigan Family!

After a disastrous 8-month episode with a “sit and wait” realtor, that quit on us, I began interviewing realtors. Being very skeptical after the bad experience, I vetted 5 realtors. 4 realtors were EXACTLY THE SAME, announcing that they are the “best realtor”, “lots of positive sales”, and “quick turnaround”, but Josh Finigan was not of that churn and burn style realtor.
Josh arrived on time and was very interested in our private 9-acre residence. He had already done his homework and was very open and transparent regarding how much the property will sale for. I said that I wanted to list it for more and he said it would not sale and he probably couldn’t help me, WOW!
He proceeded to explain exactly WHY the property needed to list for an amount that he suggested, providing several properties in our proximity that had sold, and properties currently on the market. I was convinced that Josh Finigan was far above the average realtors I had interviewed.
Without knowing anything about the bad realtor experience, Josh proceeded to show me hundreds of examples of The Finigan Process of marketing my property. None of the realtors I interviewed had half the means and marketing efforts Josh and his team were prepared to offer.
Josh was the obvious choice to sell the property. Within 2 days of signing, his team were on-site taking new and better pictures of the home and property. The ball was rolling almost immediately and within 5 days, it was listed again.
One thing Josh repeated: “This is a unique property, lots of land and a manufactured home.” I totally agreed that it is unique, and privacy is a huge selling point. He estimated the sale taking 2-3 months. WE WERE UNDER CONTRACT WITHIN 30 DAYS!
I declined the initial offer, but during that time, Josh was phenomenal with his negotiating skills. He was very communicable, transparent and respectful during the entire process. I knew everything as it happened and he advised me along the way, providing options and best-case scenarios. It was totally my decision to end negotiations and re-list the property.
After Josh’s team re-listed the property, there were numerous showings and interests. I received several offers and Josh helped me decide on the best one. With his guidance, we closed the sale in less than 30 days.
The Finigan Group far exceeded my expectations and was extremely easy to work with. If you are serious about buying or selling your property, CALL JOSH FINIGAN!👍

Thank you endlessly for your patience, quick communication, and knowledge. 🙂

Amiel E.

I have so many great things I’d like to share about our experience with The Finigan Group, but here are a few bullet points:- Communication was freaking awesome!- The education they provide is genuinely helpful.- When under contract, Josh really got to work and made sure all went smoothly, and everyone involved did their part.Most people that know my wife and I well—and Josh can attest to this from our interactions throughout this process—know that she takes the reigns on big decisions. She is far more detail oriented and skeptical which makes her really good at managing big money & life decisions. The pressure was on when she left it up to me to pick a real estate agent as we took the first steps towards our long-time dream of owning a house and moving closer to family in the Charlotte area.I took my assignment seriously; researching many agents for almost a year before I settled. During this time, I ran into The Finigan Group and was immediately impressed by the educational videos regarding all things related to Charlotte housing market and market trends in general. I subscribed, watched most of the episodes, and genuinely learned a lot.I contacted Josh already anticipating that the Finigan group would be a great fit. Both my wife and I were blown away by how on top of everything Josh was. Responsiveness was almost immediate, 100% of the time for any question we had (and questions we didn’t even know we needed to be asking). Josh is very knowledgeable and had good recommendations for other players that would help us in this journey. We encountered a fairly competitive market; with many houses we liked selling within hours and even a bidding war but Josh came up with effective strategies to help us get the best deal on our dream house. Josh also made sure that once we were under contract everyone else (our lender, inspectors, etc) were doing their job in a timely manner.Home buying is such a complex and easily daunting task; Josh and his team made it a lot easier. Buying a house—especially for us first timers—is scary but the knowledge I gained offset the despair I felt when doom scrolling the plethora of internet content highlighting how difficult is to buy a house in this crazy market. I will be reaching out to the Finigan group when we have any real estate related needs in the future.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your detailed feedback, Amiel. We couldn't be happier to know that you had a great experience dealing with us at The Finigan Group. We're delighted to hear your appreciation towards our commitment to education and communication during the process. We are all about helping our clients and relieving them of the daunting task of buying real estate! It was a pleasure working with you and your wife and we look forward to supporting your future real estate needs.

Josh did a great job selling our home. We had the property listed with a different company for a year and only had 8 showings. Josh was able to show more than 20 times in less than 3 months and secure a contract in a down economy. He provided a complete update every Monday and returned all phone calls in a timely fashion. It was a pleasure to working with Josh and his team.

Zach B.

Josh was referred to me by my sister who had used him to help sell her home and purchase a new home. We needed to sell our home quickly. Josh always made time to meet me in person, review my goals, offer suggestions to help increase value. He was educated on the Charlotte housing market and did deep market research for my home. The first day my house was on the market it sold for asking. Could not be happier with Josh’s service and he is now the go to realtor for my whole family.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much!! You guys were awesome to work with! Looking forward to celebrating with you when we close on your new home! 🙂

Alex Carter (.

I closed on my home yesterday thanks to Josh, Katie and the rest of the Finigan Group. My initial sit down with him was informative and to the point, it was made clear where we stood immediately just looking at the data. A plan was made and the process had begun. It was fairly hands off considering the paperwork needed for a home sale. Any paperwork needing to be done was almost exclusively through DocuSign which made the process easy in that everything is made available on your phone or other devices. The viewings process was straight forward as well with the ability to set what times work for you, and the platform used made it simple. Closing was also painless and a breeze. If anyone should ask me who I would recommend for their next hone sale or purchase, there is only one group of people I would recommend, and that would be the Finigan Group. Thank you very much again everyone!

Response from the owner: Thank you so much Alex! Such kinds words!!! You were a pleasure to work with! We’re so happy for you!!! Congrats on all the great adventures to come!!! 🙂

James W.

Josh done an awesome job selling our house in chester sc, he gave 110%, sold in three weeks. Great job Josh and his team

Diane A.

Building a unique, custom home in an unconventional setting creates the opportunity to live out your own dreams – your way. Selling that dream home, on the other hand, creates a challenge.
After entering an extended contract with a local agent to market this treasured home, we were disappointed in the results, and the listing ended without a sale in place.
Anticipating a closing (that unexpectedly cancelled) we had moved everything from the home, which depleted it of “personality”, leaving it up to one’s imagination to envision its value and beauty of design.
We needed an agent with ingenuity and experience that we could rely on to take this activity through the finish line in our absence.
Enter: a young man in a white hat, riding a white horse…and his name is Josh Finigan - of The Finigan Group – EXP Realty...the best real estate agent we could have hoped for – bar none! Josh is an incredibly multi-talented and energetic marketer. He and his team are a delight to work with. Using his real estate knowledge and energy, together with the efforts of his (fabulous) assistant and support staff, he put together the perfect marketing program to sell our home to the right buyer. He kept us up-to-date on a regular basis, relating whatever activity had occurred during the past week, and (immediately) when something of note took place. He encouraged our input, and gave us the opportunity to review any actions he put into the plan.
If you’re looking for professionalism with a positive outlook, make Josh your FIRST call. You’ll be glad you did. We certainly are!

Benjamin W.

Josh helped to sell our Mother's home after her passing. Everything went quickly and easily. Josh and his team are great and kept us in loop as we passed through this process. I would definitely recommend his team to friends and family for their real estate needs.

Alex D.

Josh and his team make home buying an easy process from start to finish. Always goes above and beyond on executing plans while keeping clients best interest in mind. Would recommend anyone in the market give Josh’s team shot to experience the Finigan Group difference.

Courtney G.

Thanks to Josh I just bought my first home! I trust him because he knows what it takes to win a house in a crazy market and multiple offer situation. He always maintained professionalism and was prompt to respond to any of my questions or concerns. Thanks again, Josh and The Finigan Group!

1. History:

During the time of the Pioneers, the land that Cornelius would call home was a place known as Virgin Springs. The Catawba River and the Charleston Highway were the main modes of transportation between the mountains of NC and Charleston, SC. Virgin Springs was known for being a great place to stop for rest just north of Charlottetown.

These pioneers were greeted with both welcoming Catawba Indians, and the hostile Cherokee. Established in 1905, Cornelius was the second youngest incorporated town in Mecklenburg county. In 1963 the landscape of Cornelius changed drastically when Duke Power dammed the Catawba river and created Lake Norman. The town has been enjoying the “Lake Life” ever since.

Today Cornelius is a thriving town with a diverse variety of housing options, recreational opportunities and some of the most breathtaking scenery + real estate in all of the Carolina’s.
