About Tracey.
The local expert behind Living in Charlotte. Here's a bit about me and why I created this guide.
Hi, I'm Tracey De Simon — a Charlotte-based real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Realty. I help people buy, sell, and find their place in the Queen City.
I've always believed that the best real estate decisions come from understanding a community — not just a listing. That's why I created Living in Charlotte: to give newcomers and longtime residents alike an honest, insider's view of what makes this city special.
My approach is straightforward. I listen first. I ask the right questions. And then I use my knowledge of Charlotte's neighborhoods, schools, markets, and lifestyle to help you make a decision you'll feel good about — today and five years from now.
I serve the greater Charlotte area, including Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Union, and Iredell counties — covering neighborhoods from Dilworth (28203) and Myers Park (28211) to Ballantyne (28277), plus surrounding communities like Matthews NC, Mint Hill NC, Huntersville NC, Cornelius NC, Davidson NC, Fort Mill SC, Indian Trail NC, and Waxhaw NC. I also work with clients in the greater St. Louis area and Naples, Florida, so if you're relocating between these markets, I can help bridge the gap.
How I help.
Buyer Representation
From first-time buyers to experienced investors, I help you navigate Charlotte's competitive housing market. I'll guide you through neighborhoods, schools, commute analysis, and the negotiation process.
Seller Representation
Selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make. I provide strategic pricing, professional staging advice, targeted marketing, and skilled negotiation to maximize your return.
Relocation Consulting
Moving to Charlotte from out of state? I specialize in helping relocating families get oriented quickly. From neighborhood selection to school zoning, I'll make sure your transition is smooth.
