However, Mitchell does not give too much credence to past performance. "No customer is concerned about the fact that you sold $10 million last week," he says. "What they want to know is what we can do to help them. I have always tried to make sure not to get lost in the numbers, rather maintaining my relationships with my customers to get them what they're looking for in a home."

After getting contacted by an agent in Emerald Isle who wanted to work with the firm instead of one of the bigger or local brands, Mitchell took the brand and opened up an office there. "We are locally-owned, not a franchise or affiliate to anyone else," he states proudly. The firm expanded across the state without the help of any franchise or other partners, the first time that has happened in North Carolina. "I was talking to my broker-in-charge, Wayne Yarbrough, and we wondered what other companies had expanded out of the Triad. We discovered that it was uncharted territory."

They now have brokers and offices in multiple areas of North Carolina like Raleigh, Charlotte, Brunswick Islands, Wilmington, Banner Elk, and more.

Legacy Estate in Winston-Salem, NC. Sold by Mitchell Prime Properties for $4.6 million

Recently, Mitchell sold a $4.6 million Winston-Salem legacy estate, another record-breaker.

For a while now, some of the New Yorkers that moved down to Florida have relocated again to North Carolina. "There is a movement to our Mid-Eastern state. We have exceptional four-season weather in the mountains, the beaches, and more. Who wouldn't want to live here? What we are finding is that due to the cost of living, many Florida and other southern states' residents that had moved from New York reconsidered their status and have done a half-back, landing here in North Carolina," he explains. "We are seeing a lot of that, more than it has ever happened. Even people from Los Angeles, Chicago, and South Florida, all are migrating here looking to buy something in North Carolina, even if it's a second home or as an early retirement plan."

With the Tar Heel State conquered, it's fair to say that it will be only a matter of time before another expansion may be in the works for Mitchell Prime Properties.

Highlight quotes:

Hilary Farnum-Fasth: "Alys Beach has been the number one community in 30A that has seen the greatest surge not only in the number of sales but the price increase as well... So much [property] has been bought sight-unseen has been a big difference for us in 2020 and 2021. The properties are going so quickly or you have to act so quickly when a property is secured that you don't have the time to come here and person to see it, so we really are [buyers'] eyes and ears and they are having to trust their agents more than they ever have before... The thing that has always drawn people to 30A, but even more so now, is there is an incredible outdoor lifestyle. Whether you like to do all the beach activities, or you want to ride bikes, go on walks. You have tennis, incredible golf course communities, fishing; literally anything and everything outdoor is available to you here, so it feels like a very safe place.

Nilou Henderson: "We try to be very digital and media-driven, so we've done the virtual tours even prior to Covid, but I will say we're doing it a lot more now. We're making it a requirement for our agents inside of our firm to do the virtual tours. We are closing deals on virtual tours very often. Your agents are really able to show their value during these times. We are undervalued in a lot of different areas. A lot of different platforms have made it difficult for us to be able to really show why it's important to have that representation, but, most importantly, during this time, it's allowing us agents to be able to show the value that we hold during a real estate transaction... Charlotte is great, not too big. It's the South but still has a bit of that city flavor... For us, we work with a lot of sports and entertainment [people], so a lot of our guys that are coming into town and signing with the new team, it's very easy to have this be home for them.

Here are seven reasons why leaving it to the pros far outweighs doing a "For sale by owner" real estate transaction, featuring members of the exclusive Haute Residence Network of top real estate professionals.

Online Marketing

"Statistics show that real estate brokers are selling for 32% more. And it is not that homeowners who sell their homes themselves sell them for less money, it is that homeowners who sell less expensive homes, mobile homes, and condos in rural areas are more likely to choose to sell their homes themselves. In NYC, the majority of homeowners are far better off using a real estate broker to help them sell their homes and to get the best price. Brokers have various tools and staging ways to market property online and to bring maximum exposure to a listing. In today’s market, the buyer makes the decision to buy before visiting a property and the broker is the one who makes that magic of online marketing." - Elliot Bogod, Upper West Side, New York City, NY.

The Right Pricing

"Working with an agent gives homeowners the advantage of intelligent pricing, negotiation skills, and broader exposure to sell their home quicker and for more money."  - Nilou Henderson, Charlotte, NC.

Negotiation

"A good real estate agent will get you top dollar for your home through skilled negotiation and with the maximum exposure in marketing the home." - Georgina Jacobson, Newport Beach, CA.

Knowledge of the Market

"Hiring a real estate broker gives you a professional partner who possesses unrivaled market expertise that can help you achieve top dollar for your home." - Jenny Lenz, Upper East Side, New York City, NY.

Homeowners Can Be Their Own Obstacle

"It's hard for sellers to represent themselves, especially to prospective buyers, simply because they cannot remove themselves, or their emotions, from the potential deal.  As a party to the contract, emotions can run high, which can complicate any deal, especially when working on something so personal." - Alex Min, Lake Tahoe, NV.

Its Importance Cannot Be Overstated

"Selling your home will likely be one of the biggest transactions of your life. Real estate agents get broader exposure for your property, negotiate a better deal, and are experts at managing expectations." - Kathryn Shafer, Beverly Hills P.O., CA.

The Many Details a Real Estate Sale Includes

"People are emotional and overvalue their homes.  A local Realtor® helps you price it right, market, negotiate, and maximize results." - Curtis J. Wright, Essex and Morris counties, NJ.

Plus, with temperatures staying between 77 degrees Fahrenheit and 55 for most of the year, this area also passes the fair weather test.

This sprawling water-front home in Fort Lauderdale features 100 feet of water frontage and three guest bedrooms with on-suite baths. Everything about this place suggests an oasis of luxury, making it an ideal vacation rental for the savvy investor. Offered by Barry Levinson.

Fort Lauderdale is a desirable area to find that picturesque place to turn into a busy Airbnb in the short term and possibly retire to long term.

With sunny days almost year-round and clear blue water everywhere, Fort Lauderdale has the desired climate for people from colder parts of the county looking to soak up the sun. In fact, according to PWC's housing report, the Miami/Fort Lauderdale metro area is the 3rd highest target destination from migrating people from other cities in the US.

Orlando, Florida Real Estate

Located in the central part of the state, a day's drive or puddle-jumping flight from the Miami/Fort Lauderdale metro market lies Orlando.

All indicators point to the Orlando area market being one of the best in 2019. Prices rose by over 10% last year, so those who already own investment property here are enjoying the equity boost.

Orlando has plenty of new buyers. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, population rise of Orlando is ahead of the national average by more than 12%.

Add lower than average mortgage rates, a booming economy and "cold" temperatures that bottom out in the high 50's and Orlando, Florida looks like a welcome addition to your real estate portfolio.
