EMAIL william@nestlewoodrealty.com
William’s philosophy is simple: Information equals empowerment.
He spent more than a decade working as the Chief Operating Officer for a national organization focused on non-profit fundraising throughout the US. This allowed him to live in large metropolitan areas like Los Angeles, NYC, Seattle and South Florida before visiting Charlotte in 2007 and soon thereafter deciding to permanently relocate. William brings a wealth of expertise in cross country relocation and home staging as well as the ins and outs of Charlotte living and an acute proficiency in the best Charlotte has to offer. If you want a small town feel or a big city vibe, he can help you find the perfect neighborhood.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or thinking about relocating to the Charlotte area, you’re likely heading into new territory. Acting as your “COO” throughout your real estate journey, he will ensure you are fully informed each step of the way. Your roadmap to success will include a customized project plan — including a timeline and deliverables — along with an easy to follow infographic explaining the real estate process.
While he still actively volunteers in the Charlotte area, he has learned that helping others decide on one of the most significant decisions in their lifetime is also an important aspect to helping those in the community.
William will use his years of operations, project management, marketing and million dollar contract negotiating skills to ensure your real estate roadmap leads you to success.
