This Is My Charlotte: How Josh Stone Helps Families Find Their Place in One of the South’s Fastest-Growing Cities

Charlotte, North Carolina, is no longer a best-kept secret. The city’s continued population and employment growth has increased demand for housing while making the decisions facing buyers more complex.

For Josh Stone, President of Brokerage Development, Managing Partner, and top-producing agent at Stone Realty Group, the Charlotte market has never been only about data. It is personal.

Why Living Here Changes Everything About Working Here

Josh has spent years raising his two daughters, training for marathons, and exploring the city he calls home. As a 22-time marathon finisher, including the Boston Marathon, he brings the same discipline and follow-through to his clients that he carries across every finish line.

That firsthand perspective helps Josh guide clients beyond basic market statistics. He understands how commute patterns, housing styles, neighborhood amenities, school assignments, and long-term plans work together when choosing where to live.

Josh holds active real estate licenses in North Carolina and South Carolina, along with RealTrends Verified and Zillow Premier Agent credentials. His client record includes 38 five-star Zillow reviews and 59 five-star Google reviews.

He works with a wide range of clients, including:

• Families relocating to the Charlotte region
• First-time homebuyers
• Move-up buyers
• Luxury buyers and sellers
• Clients navigating a divorce-related home sale
• Buyers and sellers moving between North Carolina and South Carolina

Two Charlotte-Area Communities Worth Knowing

Every Charlotte neighborhood offers a different combination of housing, lifestyle, commute, and community. Plaza Midwood and Belmont are two areas Josh knows especially well.

Plaza Midwood: City Energy With a Neighborhood Soul

Located just east of Uptown Charlotte, Plaza Midwood is one of the city’s most walkable and character-rich communities. Historic bungalows sit alongside thoughtfully designed new construction, while local coffee shops, restaurants, vintage boutiques, and live music venues help define the neighborhood.

For buyers who want convenient access to Uptown without sacrificing architectural character or a strong sense of place, Plaza Midwood remains a compelling option.

Housing choices include renovated bungalows, townhomes, condominiums, and newer single-family construction. Pricing and property conditions can vary considerably from one street to another, making local market knowledge especially valuable.

Belmont, NC: Small-Town Character With Charlotte Access

Located near Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Lake Wylie, Belmont offers something increasingly difficult to find: a genuine downtown filled with local restaurants, boutiques, and community gathering spaces, all within reach of a major metropolitan area.

The Daniel Stowe Conservancy, nearby parks, Lake Wylie access, and Belmont’s walkable historic district make the community appealing to buyers who prioritize lifestyle alongside location.

Belmont is also where Josh and his family have chosen to live. That personal connection shapes the practical guidance he provides about neighborhoods, daily routines, commute considerations, and the experience of putting down roots west of Charlotte.

What Makes Josh Stone Different

Josh is not only a producing real estate agent. As President of Brokerage Development and Managing Partner at Stone Realty Group, he helps lead the systems, training, and standards that support the brokerage’s performance.

His clients benefit from that same operational precision through responsive communication, structured transaction management, strong negotiation, and a detailed understanding of the Charlotte and greater Carolinas real estate markets.

Whether he is guiding a relocating executive through South Charlotte’s luxury inventory, helping a first-time buyer understand North Carolina’s due diligence process, or advising a seller on pricing and preparation, Josh approaches every transaction with discipline and focus.
