Meet Elaine

Hi! My name is Elaine Eschert and I love calling Charlotte, NC home. It has been my home since 1978. That’s when my husband, our two sons, and I relocated to South Charlotte. Today, our sons and their families along with my mother and father and other relatives are residents of the area.

"You were our House Angel"        Ken, Cindy & Savanna

Those five words best express the relationship I try to establish with my clients. What it says about me came from the heart and represents in the nicest way the person and Realtor I am.

Over the years my family, friends and clients constantly tell me I have found the perfect career because I get so excited about assisting others in becoming a part of our community. From the moment we meet, all during the real estate process and after the closing, you can depend on me to be there for you.

Experience and Knowledge

I attribute my success to my experience and knowledge of the area. The simple fact is I don’t just show the area I know the area. My clients benefit from my experience and extensive long term knowledge of the homes, communities, builders, developers, service providers, elected officials and amenities. If you’re considering purchasing or selling a home or just need information about the area please allow me to put my experience and knowledge to work for you.

Community Involvement

Ever since we moved here, my husband Ray and I have always been involved with our community…school volunteers, founding board members of homeowners associations, Presidents of Homeowners Associations, Board of Election Judge, Campaign co-chairperson for a two term city council representative, campaign worker for two different mayors, sponsors for community swim and soccer teams, little league coach, community food drive organizer, numerous guest speaker for community organizations including the Communities of America homeowners forum, member of the Ballantyne Chapter of the Chamber of Commerce, founders of the Ballantyne Breakfast Club community information forum and recognition by the City of Charlotte for Outstanding Contribution to the Community.
