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.

I had the pleasure of working with elijah on the purchase of a rental home and managing my property after. Elijah is a top notch real estate agent and property manager. He is very professional, prompt with any tasks and crystal clear in his communication. After interviewing several real estate agents and realtor groups, he stood out to me the most. I was not wrong in my judgement as he made the rental home investment process a breeze and is handling my property very well right now. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody else and definitely plan to purchase another rental property with him again.

Matthew Coles did an excellent job representing us in our relo from Nevada. He was always available and responsive, even across time zones and months of looking. He readily met with us when we traveled to Charlotte. He was transparent throughout the process and gave accurate advice. His dedication and honesty resulted in a fair deal for all concerned. Highly recommended.

Had a great experience working with Matthew Coles at the Stone Realty Group. He is as professional and efficient as it gets. He fought hard to save me money and worked to get all inspections done in a timely manner. We closed in 12 days!!!

Silika her team were very patient and helpful in the buying process. First home purchase in 20 years for me so had to learn the ropes again. She figured out my what I had in my head and preferences quickly. Lighting and new to mid-lifespan appliances, hvac, roof etc were a priority. That was a time saver and allowed us to move quickly the right house came up for sale. She also referred me to mortgage broker who got me the best rate possible. Now me and my crazy doodle have a great home!
