When Brian and Sunny Montgomery set out to buy a home in Charlotte, they had more than just their own needs in mind. Alongside their daughter, Kate—who is beginning her freshman year at UNC Charlotte—the family was looking for a space that could serve both as a welcoming home and as an income-producing investment. That’s where their agent, Elijah Sommer, stepped in.
What made this transaction especially meaningful was the connection Elijah built with the entire family. From getting to know Brian and Sunny to celebrating Kate’s exciting next chapter at UNCC, Elijah became more than just their realtor. He became a trusted guide through one of life’s biggest transitions.
Navigating Challenges with Expertise
The journey wasn’t without its hurdles. A complex inspection report presented significant concerns that could have easily derailed the process. But Elijah’s experience shone through. He carefully negotiated solutions for the substantial inspection items and connected the Montgomerys with his network of preferred vendors—trusted professionals who could help them customize the home and move forward with confidence.
Since this Mallard Glen Village property in University City would serve as both a residence and an investment, Elijah drew on his extensive background as an investor and property management expert. This gave Brian and Sunny peace of mind, knowing that every decision was being made with long-term clarity and value in mind.
A New Chapter in University City
Now, the Montgomerys are settling into their new home in Mallard Glen Village, just minutes from UNC Charlotte and all that University City has to offer. Elijah is already looking forward to staying connected with the family as they make this home their own and explore future opportunities in Charlotte real estate.
