Buying a first home is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel overwhelming—especially in a competitive Charlotte market like Providence Plantation. For Art, this step into homeownership came with an extra layer of trust. His sister, an out-of-state real estate agent, searched for the best local expert and found Josh Stone through glowing reviews. From the very first conversation, Josh’s reputation for responsiveness and care gave Art and his family confidence that they were in the right hands.
A Competitive Market and a Confident Buyer
Providence Plantation is one of South Charlotte’s most sought-after neighborhoods, known for its spacious lots, mature trees, and access to top-rated schools.

Josh guided him through each step of the search, providing market insight and strategies to stay ahead in multiple-offer situations.
Turning Hiccups into Advantages
Once Art found the perfect home, a few surprises popped up during due diligence. Instead of letting those hurdles derail the process, Josh negotiated with the sellers to address the issues—and even secured terms that worked in Art’s favor. His proactive communication and problem-solving turned potential stress into a win, ensuring Art entered his new home with confidence.
A First-Time Buyer’s Peace of Mind
As a first-time homebuyer, Art had plenty of questions. Josh never rushed a conversation and always explained each step clearly, from financing to inspections. That steady support made the process smooth and empowering. “Working with Josh was an absolute pleasure,” Art shared. “He made the entire process stress-free and I always felt supported from start to finish.”
