I grew up in Chapel Hill and later attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I developed a deep appreciation for creativity and design. In 2022, I relocated to Charlotte, where I initially worked full-time as an artist before transitioning into Residential Real Estate sales.
Charlotte has quickly become home for me, thanks to its constantly growing list of activities, vibrant food scene, and welcoming creative community. I’ve loved connecting with local artists and immersing myself in the city’s dynamic culture.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, exploring new restaurants, and studying architecture and design. I’m also a dedicated animal lover who spends most days with my dog, Meatball, and my cat, Shrimp. My passion for art continues through my studio practice, which centers on painting and fiber techniques.
As an agent at the Stone Realty Group, I’m committed to delivering a seamless and personalized client experience. I bring a strong eye for detail, clear communication, and creative problem-solving to every transaction, helping buyers and sellers reach their real estate goals with confidence.
Clients' Success stories
"Matt and his team were fantastic! They were professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. We sold our home in 2 days! All of the things that were important to me as a seller, (good marketing, priced right, good communication) were knocked out of the park. Given this was our first home sale, Matt also alleviated all of our worries with his calming manner and good communication. Cannot recommend… high enough."

"We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Michelle. She went above and beyond to ensure the process of purchasing our dream home was nothing short of outstanding. She was professional, readily available to answer questions/concerns we had, and we felt well informed throughout the process. Michelle's friendly disposition and genuine enthusiasm for what she does made it feel like we were w… orking with a close friend and not just a real estate agent. We will definitely be recommending Michelle any chance we get!"

"Selling a home can be a stressful process, but working with Gabe made it an incredibly smooth and successful experience. From the very beginning, Gabe demonstrated deep market knowledge, guiding me through pricing strategies, necessary repairs, and thorough market analysis. His friendly and professional attitude made every interaction pleasant, and his prompt feedback kept me informed at every ste… p.
What truly stood out was his dedication—he worked closely with me to ensure my home was positioned well in the market, ultimately leading to a great outcome. If you're looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend Gabe!"

"When my mother decided to retire and wanted to buy a home in North Carolina, I immediately reached out to Jasmine at Stone Realty. I've seen how many people she's been able to help through the home buying process and they always seem very grateful for her assistance and are quick to sing her praises. Our experience with her and Stone Realty was no different. My mother truly felt heard and cared fo… r through the process and we both agreed that we'd recommend Jasmine and Stone Realty to anyone looking for a home in this area!"
Steffon Cumberbatch
"I was in the process of buying my first home and Hasty performed at an exceptional level. Not only did she show me exactly the type of homes I wanted to see, she guided me through the process and helped me find and purchase my first home. I couldn't be happier!"

"Kevin has been really great. I was a bit nervous to buy a house as it's quite a daunting task but Kevin really made the process smooth and enjoyable. Answered all my questions with confidence and swiftness which I was able to trust. If you are in the market for a new home I would definitely suggest him!"
Angelika Leikola
"Right in the middle of the pandemic back in May of this year, I started my 1st time home buying process. God aligned the stars just right and gifted me with an amazing realtor Debbie Scott! Debbie is a realtor that ensures you she's all about your specific needs and wants. What I loved about Debbie is 1st she handled my low budget need with the same level of patience and professionalism she would … have on a larger sale. Debbie made me feel completely comfortable as a first time home owner. Debbie ensured me that we would find the home that was best suited for me and my family. What impressed me most is Debbie encouraged me to take time. She said, "If it takes an entire year for us to find your home, that's ok with me" When she told me that, I knew I could put my complete trust into her ethics as a realtor. Debbie didn’t mind driving. One day, she traveled from Charlotte to Western Carolina to South Carolina all with a smile. Debbie is truly a gem and I'm so happy to say I've referred her many times over since my purchase."
Shamone Barnes
"We used Michelle Kleven as our Realtor and she was phenomenal. Our new home in Myers Park is perfect and exactly the location and style we wanted. The fact that it made the list as a Charlotte Agenda Editor’s Choice made it very competitive, but Michelle handled the situation perfectly and helped us close the deal without any issues. We highly recommend Michelle for your next home. The experience … was a dream come true!"
Josh Allen
"Working with Josh Stone and the Stone Realty Group was an absolute pleasure! Josh’s attention to detail, excellent communication, and thorough understanding of the real estate market set him apart. We recommend the "Stone Group Method" to price your home successfully. Starting with the right price is essential for a successful sale.
Josh handled the negotiations, accepted our offer, and then sm… oothly closed the deal. We were in the loop every step of the way.
Choosing Josh to help you sell your home promptly, for the best price possible, will be an excellent decision.
Thank you, Josh. We really appreciate you. We’re on our way to Portugal!"
