Originally from Upstate NY, I moved to Charlotte in 1996. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in both English and Elementary Education while playing college softball and basketball. Being involved in sports has taught me an incredible work ethic and is a large part of who I am today with my team work mentality.

Being a previous Elementary School Teacher in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools taught me patience and mentoring skills that are priceless to this profession and to the growth of other agents in the office.

Serving both NC and SC, buyers and sellers, as well as connecting friends and family with REALTORS in their locations across the country and internationally, has been a passion of mine since getting licensed in 1998.

I pride myself on customer service, efficiency, responsiveness, resourcefullness, education, patience, results and overall communication. These attributes have allowed me to be successful doing something I LOVE to do every day.

Technology is everchanging and is changing our profession tremendously. Although most are averse to change, I consistently try to "keep up with the times" and enjoy watching others embrace the changes as well.

This is a fantastic and challenging career, I work for the best company in Charlotte and have a great support team. It is truly an honor to be able to make a difference in people's lives daily!

I LOVE living in the metro Charlotte, North Carolina area and serving my community through real estate. Having moved to North Carolina in the late 70's, I am a true southern transplant. I have been in the Charlotte area for the majority my life, relocating back here two times with a previous employer.

During my corporate career, I moved throughout the southeast to AL, SC, FL and GA before heading home to the Carolina's and my family and I have been back in the Charlotte Metro area since 2001. I now bring my extensive background in customer service and my personal experience in both buying and selling relocation to the real estate world.

In 2007 I took the plunge and made the change to Real Estate. Yes, I knew that it would be a tough move and the market was beginning to decline but it was an easy step to take to pursue my life fulfilling dream. It has been a wonderful experience helping people fulfill their dreams. I feel fortunate that I am now in a career in which I am blessed daily.

If you are looking for a Realtor who knows Charlotte and the surrounding areas, I am the one! I grew up locally, and I feel that it has helped me become an expert on this market. Additionally, I am committed to customer service and believe buying or selling a home should be a stress-free process.

I enjoy both aspects of the business and work with buyers and sellers. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about the Charlotte real estate market. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Having been a Broker since 1998 I am able to lend years of experience and perspective to every aspect of the real estate process. Being a prior member of the US Air Force has instilled a very strong code of ethics, a love for teamwork and a drive to "Accomplish the Mission". 

There are times when that requires focus, but also flexibility, as each journey is unique. Open communication makes everything work together for the desired outcome, and is crucial for all of us to work toward the common goal. 

While there are many serious aspects of a real estate transaction, I also believe it should be fun! It is important to take the journey with someone you enjoy being around, and who you feel really listens and is able to address your questions. THIS IS AN EXCITING TIME in your life and I would be honored to walk this path with you.  

I have a PASSION for Real Estate and feel blessed to work for an industry leader that embraces such a crucial role in shaping our lives and neighborhoods.

I sincerely enjoy my role as Branch Leader for our two Winston-Salem offices, working with over 85 agents on a daily basis. My goal is to provide consistent leadership, support and counsel to our agents, helping them in whatever way I can to realize their full professional potential in real estate. In addition, I strive to provide a work environment that is relaxed and friendly with some fun along the way.

In 2017 we opened our Hanes Mall branch in Winston-Salem, located in the heart of the shopping district on Hanes Mall Blvd. Our Vest Mill office is located nearby in the Westgate Center area. Agents in our offices service all of Forsyth County along with portions of Davidson, Davie, Guilford, Stokes, Surry, Rockingham, Randolph and Yadkin counties. It is a privilege to work with such a dedicated and professional group of sales professionals who are committed to exceptional client care and knowledgeable representation of buyers and sellers.

As an agent I found a great home with the Allen Tate Company. Our focus on clients and agents, our great technology tools, a profitable compensation plan and our marketing expertise all come together to make this an exceptional place to grow a business.

If you are a buyer or seller looking for an agent to work with in this area, please feel free to call me directly. I would be happy to help you find the best agent to meet your specific needs.

If you are a real estate agent, I welcome the opportunity to speak with you confidentially about the opportunities available at my branch and within the Allen Tate Company. I am always searching for energetic and ethical professionals to help grow our Winston-Salem team. You can either email me or call me at 336-580-7556.

To help you know me better, here is a brief description of my background:

I have been a REALTOR® for over 20 years, joining the Allen Tate Company in 2002 and spending the last 14 years in leadership & branch management.

I am a member of the Winston-Salem Regional Association of REALTORS, where I chair the Education Committee.  Prior to joining WSRAR, I served 14 years with the Greensboro Regional REALTORS Association, serving in various capacities, including Treasurer, Board of Directors Member, RPAC Chair, Social Committee Chair, GRRA Foundation Board & Triad Multiple Listing Service (MLS)Board.

As an agent I was the recipient of the Rookie of the Year, Master’s Circle, President’s Club and the Realty Alliance Sales Awards. I have also earned my GRI, ABR, CRS, SPS and e-Pro designations. 

My community involvement has included working with the United Way Volunteer Board and serving on the Guilford Education Alliance Board of Directors.

Prior to entering real estate, I worked in the fields of community & educational development, training, association management and sales.

I am one of those relocated Northerners! Originally from Ohio, I lived many years in upstate New York. And I don’t miss the snow! Free time finds me reading, walking, creating needlework projects, spending time with my husband and cheering on my favorite Cleveland sports teams and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Denise Morrison said “I think leadership is service and there is power in that giving: to help people, to inspire and motivate them to reach their fullest potential.” This is such an accurate description of the connection I have to the fantastic group of agents I am privileged to work with each and every day.

After a successful two-decade career of assisting clients with the listing and purchasing of properties in the Triad, I happily moved into the position of branch leadership with Allen Tate Realtors.

As the sales manager for the Allen Tate Greensboro branch, I am afforded the opportunity to hire, lead, train and counsel the agents that have chosen to be a part of the best real estate company in the industry.

Having relocated to Greenville several years ago, I understand the process of home buying and selling tied into moving across the country. Our team is equipped with the best in the business to help make that process simplified for you. While I moved from the midwest, my heart will always be with the Cubs, Bears, Bulls & Blackhawks. These days in my downtime I enjoy sneaking off to Hilton Head Island, hiking with my husband Tyler and dog Lucy, and helping my family relocate to beautiful Upstate, South Carolina.

After a successful 15-year career in residential real estate sales and property management, I decided to join Allen Tate Leadership in 2020 as a branch leader of the Winston-Salem (Vest Mill) office.  As a lifelong Triad resident, I am proud of this community and our REALTORS, who tirelessly promote the value and pride of home ownership.

My background has served me well as a REALTOR.  Having worked in industrial electrical sales, construction/home remodeling, and teaching/coaching in our public school system, I have a personal connection to the buildings and people in our community.  Whatever you need, we have a home for you in Winston-Salem.  Give Allen Tate REALTORS a call and let us work for you!

Since 1996 Angi has worked in many facets of the Real Estate profession including residential sales, mixed-use development and property management.  Over the years, she acquired a strong foundation and proficiency in the industry, exceeded $50 million in closed career volume, and built many lasting relationships.

Tracey earned her North Carolina Real Estate License in 1998, with the South Carolina License coming soon after. Tracey enjoyed many years as a Realtor, helping Buyers and Sellers achieve their homeownership dreams. Her passion led her to begin training new agents, eventually moving full time into a Leadership Position where she now is able to focus on helping agents grow their own business, provide training, and focus on recruiting.

Ms. Stehle believes passionately in giving back to the community.  She has held several positions for North Mecklenburg Rotary and earned many awards for her fundraising efforts through the years. Tracey is a former Planning Board Chair for Cornelius, and a 2018 "Business Woman of the Year" as honored by Business Today. 

With the Allen Tate Company, Tracey has been honored with some achievements she is proud of, including  "Rising Star", "Community Involvement", "Recruiting", " Phoenix" and "Branch Performance".  She has also headed up various fundraising efforts for the company.

"I am so grateful to be a part of a company that has my back and gives me the support needed to help the agents and the Huntersville Branch continue to grow." says Tracey.

Outside of the office, you'll most likely find Tracey on a golf course, at the Pilates studio, or paddle boarding on Lake Norman.

Throughout my extensive career in the relocation industry, I have worked and managed almost every aspect of corporate employee relocation including corporate business development.

At Allen Tate Relocation and Corporate Services, we specialize in corporate relocation and believe in personal service delivery to transferring employees during their decision-making process including home finding and home sale. Through our membership in Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® (LeadingRE) and other professional associations, we can assist with move management to and from anywhere in the world.

We focus on corporate relocation and recruiting enhancements, including services to help Human Resources and Recruiting attract top talent and ensure a smooth transition.

My role is to provide information to corporations who need relocation assistance for their employees and act as their advocate.

I hold the Certified Relocation Professional (CRP) and Global Mobility Specialist (GMS-T) professional designations. In addition, I have served the relocation industry in the following capacities:

Relocation Director’s Council

Worldwide Employee Relocation Council

Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® Advisory Council

RELO Direct® Strategy Council

Charlotte Metro Area Relocation Council (CMARC)

I am a recipient of the two top LeadingRE honors: The President’s Service Award and the Chairman’s Service Award.

Allen Tate Relocation and Corporate Services strives to deliver exceptional customer service. We are a consistent award winner within the Leading RE network, the world’s leading network of independent brokerages, covering six continents.

Allen Tate Relocation is also a proud recipient of the coveted RELO Quality Certification Award, which recognizes outstanding relocation departments in Leading RE who achieve rigorous standards for leadership, commitment, performance and customer service.

The other day someone asked me a question that made me think…..”How do you like your job?” (I know this is going to sound so "cheesy") I really, really do not consider what I do a “job”. Every day is different, exciting and very fulfilling. I am fortunate to work with the most awesome group of people in
this industry. They are professional, ethical, hardworking, creative and just plain fun. We celebrate successes and support each other like a family. I look forward to going to the office every day. Stop by and see us if you are in the neighborhood….you can see for yourself.

We are a team, and I am always here for you! Never hesitate to ask a question, share an idea or just stop by to catch up with each other.

I have been in this industry for almost 25 years...general brokerage, relocation and now leadership.

I was born in a small town in western North Carolina, moved to Wilmington, and now I have the pleasure of calling the "Capital City" home.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, decorating, entertaining, and watching the Duke Blue Devils dominate the basketball court...(had to say it)

"I Want You To Love Where You Live!"

Real estate is so much more than a transaction. I care about clients and realtors and take a personal interest in their wants and needs. I feel very grateful to work for a company that provides excellent training and resources to their agents. Whether clients are leaving the area with the sale of their home, new to the area and trying to find the perfect space, or just moving down the street because they are ready for a change, as a company we have a vested interest in helping them achieve their goals.

I have two passions, education and real estate! I graduated from the University of South Carolina and as a former educator of middle school students, I understand that giving people knowledge, builds trust and confidence. I think it is important to build trust in the workplace, as well as with the clients we serve. My idea of a successful real estate agent is one that truly has their clients best interest at heart. Relationships do not end at the closing table. Whether it be giving them a remodeling reference, providing them with maintenance tips, or keeping them up to date on the value of their home, our agents continue to be a resource to clients for years to come.

Personally, I have an amazing support team that helps keep me motivated. My husband and daughters fuel my energy and keep me rejuvenated and focused. I am up at 5:00am every morning at Burn Boot camp and I run a 5K or 10K, here and there. But most importantly, I love college football! GO GAMECOCKS, this is our year! (I say that every year, can't blame a girl for trying right?...)

Homes are more than just places where we lay our heads. We build memories, raise families, and find comfort there. Whether you want lots of space out in the country, want to be right in the action of the city, or somewhere in between, we have agents that can make you LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE!!!

We love what we do in Apex!  As Branch Leader of the Apex office at Allen Tate Realtors, I offer not only my knowledge and experience in the Triangle real estate market, but also that of the exceptional team of agents in our office.  

Holding a real estate license since 2003 and actively working in the business since 2007 provides me with the awareness, familiarity and history of the market to help our agents compete in this dynamic field!   I reside in the Cary/Apex area with my husband, son, crazy cat (Mick) and sweet-crazy dog (Finn).  Enjoying Broadway Musicals, traveling, reading, walking and trying to hit that little white ball are some of my favorite things to do! 

All of us at the Apex office look forward to working with you!  And remember, we work in lots of areas in the Triangle and we enjoy every minute of it!

Jessica is proud to be a lifelong resident of the Upstate.  As a native born and raised here, she has a great understanding of the region’s growth while enjoying the history of its past. Jessica is very outgoing and has cultivated many fantastic relationships along the way. She and her family currently make their home in Fountain Inn. She is an award-winning professional, strongly dedicated to her career. Previously held positions include a sales assistant, a buyer's agent for a team, an independent Realtor® and New Home Sales Representative… providing her with broad expertise in many industry segments.

As the Branch Leader of the Upstate Region’s Greenville/Simpsonville Allen Tate office, she is responsible for the coaching and development of new and experienced agents. She also provides a culture in her office that her team will tell you is unparalleled! This results in agent productivity that far exceeds the local and national averages.  She strives to partner with each agent on their desired business goals and help them achieve their dreams. She’s dedicated to meeting her agents’ needs and strives to always provide value. A good day for her consists of partnering with her team any way possible (lots of masks and Zoom's these days) and always having fun doing it!

She takes pride in helping agents develop a comprehensive business plan to assess where they are and identify opportunities for growth. Nothing brings her more joy than seeing someone succeed!

She holds weekly meetings to bring updates as well as regular coaching sessions to ensure agents are proficient in generating business. The company provides a plethora of technology tools for which she possesses in-depth knowledge, allowing her to coach and drive adoption. As the industry and technology continually change, she strives to be proactive so that her agents are equipped to provide the most value as possible.

In her spare time, she enjoys being outdoors with her family. She grew up closer to the city so, being in the country now makes home her favorite place to be! Jessica loves to laugh! She and her family attend Brookwood Church in Simpsonville and she's looking forward to being able to do volunteer work again as soon as it's safe. A fun fact that most people don’t know about her is that when she retires, she'd like to move her precious family of four to Disney World.
