He won a bidding war with 13 offers on the table, and his wasn’t even the highest one.
Â
I sat down with justinhoffner.realestate to talk about how he actually gets deals done in Charlotte, and how the strategy side of him sets him apart.
Â
Back in 2022, one of his buyers was up against 12 other offers in a desirable area. Justin’s offer got accepted, and it wasn’t the top number. It came down to how he wrote the contract and how he played it. That property kept climbing in value after closing.
Â
Then there was the December deal. A house that had been sitting for about 150 days, listed at $525k and dropped all the way down to $375k. The sellers had already moved out of state and just wanted it done. Justin got his clients in and made the whole thing simple for everyone.
Â
So what makes him stand out? He is a professional engineer with an investing background, and he is plugged in with the builders, lenders, and construction guys all over town. He looks at a property like an investor, not just an agent.
Â
His advice for buyers right now: land is undervalued in Charlotte. Find a house in a strong area like Matthews, NoDa, or Plaza Midwood with some extra land, and you give yourself room to grow into the property. Subdivide it down the road, build in the back, and you already own that land outright.
Â
That last part is exactly where the lending side comes in. A play like that only works if the financing is structured to support it, and that is the kind of long-term conversation I love having with buyers.
