WORKING WITH CHRIS BLACK
I love what I do! I love selling Charlotte! Listing and selling in the Queen City and surrounding areas never grows old. I have a steadfast faith and exuberance for life that permeates all my activities.
GET TO KNOW CHRIS
My career in real estate began many years ago when I became a single mom. Prior to this, the biggest job I ever held was PTO President of my children’s school. This was not going to provide the funds needed to send my gifted children to college, so I embarked upon my first true career as a Realtor. I will always be grateful to my loyal clients and friends who continue to keep me a top producer through many transactions and constant referrals. My success as a Realtor enabled me to send my daughter to Wake Forest University and to the WFU School of Medicine.
I have been incredibly blessed and was recently honored by the North Carolina Association of Realtors for “valuable and lasting contribution in the real estate profession” with status of Realtor Emeritus. I live in the SouthPark area of Charlotte and remain active in our church and community. I have a wonderful, blended family with five children, five grandchildren, and two adorable rag-doll cats.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
“This letter concerns Chris Black, an agent with Cottingham Chalk Hayes, Realtors. My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Chris in the sale of our home in South Charlotte. We selected Chris because we had heard that she was a straight shooter, successful and well-respected in the community of her peers. Chris presented her marketing plan and pricing strategy which was way outside the comps for our home neighborhood. She went out on a limb with her office and defended her figures despite being advised to the contrary AND she produced a sale in record time...with a cash buyer! During the entire sales period, which was less than two months, Chris handled the process with professionalism, attention to detail and tackled each new situation with a disciplined, organized and resolute manner. She has an engaging outgoing personality, a sparkle in her eyes and a determination not often seen. She is truly the real estate professional with charm, wit and a cheerful personality that is based on each individual’s needs. Lucky will be the client who selects Chris Black as their agent. We will be happy to talk with anybody about Chris and her winning style!!”

“It has been two years since I relocated to the Charlotte area and I am still impressed with the service we received from Chris Black all these years later. She welcomed us to the community from the moment we first visited, was extremely knowledgable about the city and receptive and responsive to our needs. All while making sure we were doing the right things. Once we found the perfect neighborhood for us she was also brilliant in negotiations, as she once remarked “an iron fist in a velvet glove”, she was firm but ever so nice and always just a joy to be around. Due to our circumstances, I actually put a bid in on a house before my wife ever set foot in it and we were able to do this in full confidence because of the trust Chris had built with my wife and me. If we ever choose to move again we will certainly seek her and your business out if we are lucky enough to work with her again.”
— James Ward
“I don’t typically write reference letters however, I wanted to let you know what a great experience we have had over the many years with our real estate agent Chris Black. We first met Chris when we were in the process of relocating from Raleigh to Charlotte NC. We knew little about the Charlotte market, but Chris quickly educated us on what we needed to look for and I trusted her judgement and expertise 100%. Since that time, I have referred Chris to many of my friends/work associates. Recently, we sold our home and the first call I made to list our house was to Chris. Although we had worked with her in the past as a Buyer’s agent, we had not worked with her as a Sellers agent. Chris did not disappoint. I knew that Chris had our best interests at heart throughout the entire process. We could not have closed when we did with no outstanding issues without her. Thank you, Chris for all you continue to do to put your clients first. I value you not only as one of the very best agents in Charlotte, but as a personal friend.”
— Linda O.
“She is knowledgeable, efficient, quick to respond, calming in the face of what could be adversity, and above all, she genuinely cares about her clients. She is a treasure. I told Chris last week that when we first met over 2 years ago, I welcomed her into our home as an “invited stranger.”
Last week after a little visit, she left as a “caring friend.” She made that happen.
We hope to continue our relationship into the years ahead because her kindness and thoughtfulness have been and continue to be very meaningful and so appreciated. She will be the first one on the list if anybody asks for a referral. Chris is just “the best.”
— Brenda C. Wayne
Professionalism, persistence, and peace - that’s the words that come to mind when I think of Chris Black! Selling your home is such an emotional time. She told me, “Don’t you worry, we’ll take care of everything”, and indeed they did. Her demeanor was one of calm and peace which helped me to remain peaceful. My husband and I had given up and were actually signing our home over to the bank. Chris asked to advertise itone more time. I told her not to bother. She did bother and ran one more add which was the one our buyer saw. Her persistence paid off for us!! She listed and sold our home within 6 months in a very slow market at the price we needed.
Thank you, Chris!!
