For many, moving ranks among life’s most stressful events. Now imagine multiplying that stress when you’re relocating to a completely new state after a lifetime in one place. That’s the reality Jean faced when she made the leap from New York City to Charlotte.

Meeting Hasty Millen

From their very first meeting, Jean knew that Hasty Millen was the right partner for this life-changing move. “She listened not only to the type of home I was looking for but considered where I was coming from and what I was accustomed to,” Jean shared. That deep understanding set the tone for their partnership.

What made this experience unique was not just the distance or logistics but the time invested. Over three years, Hasty worked side by side with Jean, patiently navigating options until the perfect fit came along.

Finding the Right Fit in Uptown

The Charlotte market can be competitive, especially in desirable areas like Uptown. Hasty went beyond what was listed online and uncovered an off-market opportunity in the exact building Jean had her heart set on. That dedication paid off—securing not just a condo but a true sense of belonging.

A Seamless Transition to Charlotte Life

Moving from NYC to Charlotte meant adjusting to a new pace, new community, and new lifestyle. By taking the time to understand Jean’s background and priorities, Hasty made the transition easier. Today, Jean is settled into Uptown, enjoying a neighborhood that blends walkability, skyline views, and access to Charlotte’s vibrant cultural scene.
