The Best Schools in Charlotte NC [Living in Charlotte NC] 2024

by | Dec 13, 2023 | Moving to Charlotte NC

Whenever I chat with my clients about their home search here in Charlotte, NC, one of their FIRST questions are always, “What are the schools like in this area?”  It’s a STRONG factor in where they want to live.

School districts are a HUGE deal, and rightfully so! School districts are like the hidden gems in the home search journey. You might think it’s all about the number of bedrooms or the size of the backyard, but let me tell you, the quality of local schools is a game-changer.

And guess what? This isn’t just a worry for parents. People without children are JUST as concerned about the school districts they will eventually live in. 

 

Why School Districts Matter, Even if You Don’t Have Kids!

You’re probably wondering, “Why do school districts matter so much if I don’t even have kids?” Well, it’s all about thinking ahead and making a smart investment. Homes in top-notch school districts in Charlotte aren’t just places to live; they’re your ticket to a stable and potentially growing investment. 

Strong Home Price Appreciation

The desire for a home that retains or increases in value is universal among homebuyers. In Charlotte, NC, properties located in esteemed school districts have a significant advantage. Regardless of market fluctuations, homes in reputable school districts tend to maintain their worth or appreciate over time. This trend is a vital consideration for anyone looking to make a sound investment in real estate.

Buyers Correlate Good Schools & Safer Neighborhoods

A top-notch school district often goes hand in hand with safer neighborhoods. These areas usually boast well-maintained street lighting, pristine sidewalks, and active neighborhood watch programs. Such amenities not only enhance the living experience but also contribute to the overall safety and appeal of the neighborhood, making it a desirable location for prospective buyers.

Selling a home can be stressful, but working with Josh Finigan and The Finigan Group made the entire process so much easier. From the start, Josh was professional, knowledgeable, and truly cared about making this a smooth experience for us.

We hit a few bumps along the way (as expected in any real estate transaction), but Josh and his assistant, Hayley, handled everything with ease and kept us calm throughout. They always had a solution, communicated clearly, and worked tirelessly to keep things on track.

We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for a realtor who’s not only great at what they do but also genuinely cares about their clients, we highly recommend Josh Finigan, Hayley, and The Finigan Group!

Josh is very good at what he does. He is honest and will get you the most money for your house. He knows the market inside and out and doesn't feed you a bunch of nonsense. Me and Josh clicked the first time we spoke and I had a good feeling about him and he delivered. He came into my house in a Tuesday afternoon and by that Saturday evening we had 3 offers and one over asking price. In those four days he took beautiful pictures, did measurements, marketed our property and helped stage the house. We didn't even wait a few more days to see what else we could get so we cancelled all remaining showings and laster not even a half a day total on the market which was exactly what we wanting cause it gets draining having to show your house to a ton of people when its not marketed right. Josh's entire team is very competent and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend the Finigan Group to anyone looking for top dollar selling their house. Josh is awesome and won't let you down.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your wonderful review, Brian! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Josh and our team. It's great to know that our marketing efforts helped you achieve such quick and successful results. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're here to assist you anytime you need!

Let me tell you something, The Finegan Group is above the rest. Josh was our Realtor and was not only professional, but great at communication/follow-up, and super knowledgeable. Our particular situation was one where our house was sitting on the market for months, and we had to make a change. Josh and his group jumped in and pulled off what we started believing was the impossible. This was not an easy one, but we felt very confident they were going to get us sold. And they did, very quickly! Highly recommend. In a sea of imposters, they are the real deal.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your incredible feedback, Sean! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Josh and our team. It's wonderful to know we could help you navigate your unique situation successfully. Your recommendation means a lot to us! We look forward to serving you again in the future.

5 stars isn't enough for Josh Finigan and his incredible team at the Finigan Group! From start to finish, our experience with Josh was top-notch. His innovative approach to marketing our property, including a fantastic video showcase, really helped our home stand out. But what truly impressed us was Josh's professionalism and expertise. From the initial listing date to closing, Josh and his team worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. And the results speak for themselves - we were under contract in just 4 days and closed 32 days after listing!I highly recommend Josh and his team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and results-driven real estate agent.

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.

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!👍

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.

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!
