Description

Specializing in the Older Waterfront Lots around Lake Norman. So many variables are important to understand! Tons of distressed mortgages create upside selling situations. I offer Hope and Solutions.

About Us:

     Prior to starting my real estate career I spent over 20 years assisting clients as a Financial and Estate Planner.  I grew up surrounded by family members involved in the real estate industry.  My grandfather was a builder and developer, as was my father.  My mother was a very successful REALTOR in the Atlanta area.  When I moved to North Carolina in 2005 from Michigan I realized it was time to combine the skills I developed as a Financial Planner with the business I had been surrounded by my whole life. 

     I am fortunate to live on Lake Norman in a small cottage with my two dogs (Bruiser a Bull Dog and Kasey a King Charles Cavalier) in Mooresville. The truth be told, I feel like I have a little piece of heaven. Being from Michigan, I have always been around water and love it. I study all the older lakefront properties because they are the premium properties. There is a great deal to understand about buying waterfront properties in Lake Norman. You can count on me to guide you through the process.

     The market has been hit hard and that means a new understanding of how to help my clients. I have beefed up my education and training to address solutions. Many are suffering from being upside down on the their values or dealing with escalating ARM mortgage rates. Add to that the loss of employment or medical issues and there is a feeling of despair.There are options other than Foreclosure. I introduce those solutions and offer Hope. Read my testimonials to learn about one of those situations.  

I teach both Buyers and Sellers alike an alternative that is win win on how to purchase without the Low Ball Offer mentality. Working with my daughter Kelly who is a Mortgage Broker and owner of Platinum Funding Solutions, we illustrate a solution using a buy down option. This is a powerful tool for both the Seller as well as the Buyer.

I approach what I do with a passion for continuing my professional education, learning to effectively use cutting edge marketing tools, and always working with integrity, kindness and empathy for my clients personal situation.  My love of people and the real estate industry hopefully shows in my demeanor and commitment. 

It would be my pleasure to help you.

Testimonials

 Just a short note to let you know how much I enjoyed working with you on the sale of 240 Indian Paint Brush. You are professional and very easy to communicate with. I hope more transactions will be as stress free as this one for both of us. I hope that we will have many more cross sales together in the near future.

The past year has been extremely challenging for my family with my husband and I both being laid off from high paying positions. We felt that we had properly planned for such and emergency situation by having several months income in savings; however, this quickly dwindled down to nothing.

We contacted RE/MAX at the Lake and requested to work with an agent that was familiar with selling $600 - $700K homes whose owners are struggleing to maintain the payments. They quickly referred us to Kathy Byrnes. Kathy met us the next day and was extremely professional. She presented us with the current property value, comparable home sales for the area, comparable current listings and presented several flexible options for us to choose how to proceed with this life changing decision.   Carefully considering all the alternative, we decided to offer the home as a "short sale." This would hopefully protect our credit from foreclosure status which would take several years to recover. Ktahy was very experienced with this type of listing and she began contacting our lenders to start the process. Within days the home began showing numerous times a week and several offers were presented. Kathy diligently worked with the lenders in hopes of coming to a sales agreement. Her positive upbeat personality kept our family motivated and looking forward to a positive outcome.   Our most recent offer was presented from an agent who had no experience with short sales. Lack of experience in a short sale can cause many unforeseen complications because all parties involved must be properly informed of the numerous tedious details that have to be followed in a precise order. Kathy willingly assisted the buyer's agent by explaining the process to the buyers and even attended a short sale seminar with the agent in hopes of helping her understand this very complicated ordeal.   Finally, after several weeks of negotiations that consisted of hundreds of phone calls and endless emails both lenders have agreed on terms to selling the home. One of our lenders actually stated, "If Kathy received a dollar for every phone call she made, voice mail she left, or email she sent just to his office - she more than earned her commission." Considering the current conditions of the real estate market I cannot think of a better compliment that would express Kathy's determination and persistency in helping her clients.   I would strongly encourage anyone that is struggling with their home to consider using Kathy Byrnes. Her experience, determination, and overall consideration for her client's best interest made what could have become a horrible ordeal with our children watching their home go into foreclosure turn into my family having a positive outlook on beginning a new chapter in our lives.   Words cannot express enough gratitude and appreciation.

Kathy is a professional in her field with the knowledge and tools to guide you through the sometimes complicated process of home buying. We worked together for over a year to find my home, all from across the country. During the process, Kathy stayed on top of communicating with me to understand my needs. During the closing stage, she was extremely helpful in finalizing all the details. Her involvement made this very important transaction easy. I would work with Kathy again and continue to recommend her to others.
