For nearly two decades, Matt Stone has transcended the role of a mere real estate broker – he has been a trusted advisor, innovator, and out-of-the-box thinker, consistently delivering exceptional results for his clients and agents. With over 18 years of experience and transactions exceeding $1.5 billion, Matt's expertise is unmatched. In 2023, Real Producers Magazine ranked him 2nd out of 8,000 agents in Charlotte, a testament to his remarkable results.

Matt's entrepreneurial journey began at the age of 13 when he started a car detailing business from the parking lot of his father's church. By 16, his cold calling efforts had landed him an internship with a custom homebuilder. At just 18, Matt became one of the youngest licensed real estate brokers ever in the Carolinas. In 2009, he founded his own brokerage and rental management business, quickly amassing a portfolio of over $100 million in properties under management. To expand his expertise, Matt obtained a general contractor’s license in 2014 and has since remodeled and built homes across the Carolinas, Florida, and Spain.

Matt provides a breadth of knowledge that is unmatched. From insights encompassing construction, budgeting, timelines, and local regulations to having personally renovated numerous properties and guided developers on projects of varying scales, Matt brings a unique perspective and vision to the table. As an investor himself, he possesses intimate knowledge of property pro formas, landlord-tenant law, use optimization, 1031 exchanges, and tax implications.

Today, Matt leads a powerhouse team of brokers, meticulously selected and trained to meet and uphold ‘The Stone Standard.’ The team’s success is achieved, in part, by leveraging cutting-edge technology and our bespoke property marketing program, “The Stone Selling System.” With nearly 1,000 five-star client reviews across various platforms, the team is steadfast in its mission to deliver an unparalleled client experience while preserving the personal touch.

In his free time, Matt pursues his passion for geography, history, and travel alongside his husband, Steed, and their dog, Oliver. Having visited 45 countries together, they share a love for boating and have sailed the Intracoastal Waterway, the Caribbean, and Croatia. In 2023, they realized a lifelong dream of obtaining a Golden Visa after the two made property investments in Barcelona, Spain.

Client Success stories

"My wife and I first met Michelle Kleven about a year before we were ready to list our house for sale. We were up front with her about our timeline and she was still more than happy to meet with us. Michelle came to our home, walked through the house, and provided insight into projects that would be worthwhile to tackle to maximize our home's value (and even more importantly, projects that would li
"Gabe gave us an above and beyond experience with both our home buying and selling experience! Truly was greater than a five star review. Every challenge and road block faced was tackled with the utmost professionalism. Would highly recommend Gabe to anyone!"
"Gabe was a great realtor to work with in not only buying a new home but selling our current one. Great experience!"
"Working with Josh Stone was an excellent experience from start to finish. His negotiation skills helped us secure our new home under the listing price by effectively addressing the repairs and updates the property needed. Beyond that, Josh went the extra mile by connecting us with trusted contractors, ensuring we had accurate and timely quotes in hand before moving forward. Throughout the process
"Moving can be one of the most stressful life event one can experience. Triple the stress level when you are moving to a new state after living a lifetime in one area. My first meeting with Hasty proved that she was my go-to person. 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. All of which made the move easier
"Best real estate group I have ever worked with! They will go above and beyond for you to help you find the perfect dream home! Andy was able to find a financing option that worked for us in this tougher buying environment. Michelle was a master negotiator with buying our dream home!! Never been happier with a real estate agent/group."
"Matthew Cole was my agent. He did an outstanding job helping me find my new home. He was always prompt and well informed."
"Michelle Kleven listened and understood my interest and perimeters after our first few communications. There was only one house in one location that could "check most of the boxes" at this time in my life. I wasn't a buyer that "needed" to purchase a house, however, Michelle's ability to negotiate and communicate professionally earns a great review from me. Admittedly, as a buyer paying a portio
"Stone Realty and Josh Stone provided a fantastic experience. Josh is knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. He assisted in finding a home in Charlotte, North Carolina. His dedication and expertise are appreciated throughout the home-buying process. High Performance Realty, another Charlotte real estate company, lost business by ignoring the us. I'm thankful because that led to Stone Realty.
"Josh and his team recently sold one of my investment properties, and their performance exceeded expectations. Their process was efficient, strategic, and clearly informed by deep market knowledge. As an investor, I appreciated their data-driven approach and consistent communication throughout. A smooth, well-executed transaction from start to finish."
