Stone Realty Group is proud to announce that Michelle Kleven has been named Vice President of Luxury Sales. The appointment places the team's most decorated individual producer at the head of the Signature Collection, the brokerage's luxury practice, and gives Charlotte's most discerning sellers and downsizers a clear point of leadership for their most significant transactions.

Michelle Kleven leads the Stone Realty Group Signature Collection, serving luxury sellers and equity-rich downsizers.

Why Luxury Is a Different Discipline

Selling a luxury home is not a larger version of selling any other home. The buyer pool is narrow, the marketing has to find the right person rather than the most people, and the margin for error on pricing and presentation is small. For downsizers with significant equity, the stakes are different again: the decision is often emotional, the home has held a family for decades, and the equity at play will shape the next chapter of their lives.

That is the case for a dedicated luxury practice, and the reason for naming a Vice President to lead it. Precision is the whole job.

A Record That Earned the Title

In eight years of production, Michelle has closed more than 165 transactions and $87.4M in career volume, with a $689K average sale price that ranks her number one in volume among Stone Realty Group agents. She holds the Real Producers Top 500 designation, carries more five-star client reviews than anyone on the roster, 64 on Zillow and 61 on Google, and brings 18 years of Charlotte residency to every pricing conversation she leads. She is licensed in both North Carolina and South Carolina.

The work shows in the results. A Myers Park luxury home that had sat unsold with a prior brokerage for more than six months went under contract in 18 days at 98% of list price after she rebuilt the staging, photography, and marketing strategy from the ground up. Her practice spans SouthPark, Myers Park, Dilworth, Cotswold, and the Arboretum, extending into Lake Wylie, Waxhaw, and the South Carolina line at Fort Mill and Indian Land.

What This Means for Luxury Sellers and Downsizers

For luxury sellers, it means a listing led by the producer who has handled more high-value Charlotte transactions than almost anyone, backed by the full Stone Realty Group marketing and operations team and the proprietary Stone Selling System applied to every listing. For downsizers, it means a guide who treats the equity question with the seriousness it deserves and who knows how to position an established home so it reaches the right buyer quickly and at the right number.

It also means discretion. At this level, how a home comes to market, and who sees it, matters as much as the price.

In Michelle's Words

"Luxury sellers and downsizers are trusting you with one of the most significant financial decisions of their lives, often a home they have lived in for decades," said Michelle Kleven, Vice President of Luxury Sales. "Leading the Signature Collection means holding that work to a standard where nothing is left to chance: the pricing, the staging, the marketing, all of it."

From the Founder

"Michelle has built the most decorated individual production record in our history, and she earned the trust of Charlotte's most discerning sellers one transaction at a time," said Matt Stone, Founder and Managing Partner of Stone Realty Group. "Putting her at the head of the Signature Collection simply makes official what our luxury clients already know."
