Marcus has lived in the Charlotte Metro and upstate SC area for four decades, so he intimately understands the area (and the market) in a way that only a select few can. In his time in the real estate industry, he has grown his concierge service into a multi-million dollar portfolio, has one of the fastest growing teams in the country, and has become one of our areas premiere and award winning agents of choice. 

He is also a designated Strategic Pricing Specialist®, totals over 250 personal online recommendations, has been awarded Charlotte Magazines 5 STAR BEST IN CLIENT SATISFACTION multiple times, and was honored with the incredible "Americas Top 1% Real Estate Agents", and "100 Most Influential Real Estate Agents in North Carolina" recognition award, has been featured on American Dream TV, and graced the cover of Top Agent Magazine.

Luxury, lifestyle, and land. The perfect mix.

This new community is about to make a serious statement.
Smart design, beautiful lots, the kind of feel buyers are hunting for in 2026.

This is your first look.
Fast. Fresh. And exactly why Marvin stays one of the most desired zip codes in the Carolinas.

Marcus Dilley SPS and 6X ICON Agent

Principal and Founder of Carolinas Realty Group LLC - We provide all facets of premier real estate services hyper-locally, nationally, and globally through over 200 of the most dynamic and modern agents on the planet.

This one honestly leaves me floored.
Humbled.
Grateful.
And fired up for what's coming.

Mark and I launched The Signature Group this year. Brand new. Nobody knew what to expect. No momentum to borrow from. No legacy to lean on. Just a vision in our hearts and a team of people who were willing to bet on excellence and give everything they had to build something special.

And today we found out that The Signature Group has already ranked in the Top 10 teams for 2025 in the Ballantyne office.

In our first year together.

That only happens because of the people who show up every single day with heart, skill, consistency, and faithfulness.

To our agents.
Your courage. Your commitment. Your belief in the mission. Your willingness to grow. Your fight. Your professionalism. Your trust. All of it is the reason we are celebrating right now. None of this happens without you.

To our clients.
You put your biggest financial decisions in our hands and you allow us to serve you at a level that honors your trust. That means more than you know.

To our partners and my family.
Thank you for supporting the vision and pushing us to lead from a place of excellence, integrity, and heart.

And to everyone cheering us on.
This is only the beginning. We are just getting warmed up. If this is what happens in year one, I can't wait to see what God allows us to build together in 2026 and beyond.

The Signature Group is here.
And we're only going up from here.

🔥 South Charlotte stunner just dropped
White-oak floors.. Calacatta-style kitchen.. spa-level primary suite.. resort pool.. outdoor kitchen.. game room with a balcony.. everything flexes.
If you want a home that feels custom and unforgettable.. this is it.
📍 2624 Ladley Ct
💰 1.35M
👀 Blink and it’s gone.

There is something special happening on our team right now.. and it’s bigger than real estate.

Every week our Friday Zoom calls feel less like a meeting and more like a tribe being built in real time. 

People showing up. 

Growing. 

Training. 

Celebrating win after win after win. 

Not just production.. but confidence.. clarity.. connection.. the kind of growth that actually sticks.

We have agents pouring into each other, learning together, sharing openly, and pushing toward the next level side by side. 

It feels holistic. 

It feels healthy. 

It feels like the way this business is supposed to be done.

Our tribe is expanding every day.. and the unity we’re building is the real competitive edge. 

Grateful for this group and everything we’re creating together.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but..

You GOTTA see this new listing. Congrats to the lucky buyers that snag this one!

When I say I’m fired up about this one.. I mean it 🔥

2624 Ladley Court is a whole mood. 

A true blend of architectural grace and modern indulgence tucked into one of Charlotte’s most beautiful neighborhoods. From the Calacatta Laza–clad chef’s kitchen to the spa-inspired primary retreat, every inch of this home feels intentional, elevated, and timeless.

Then you step outside.. and it’s game over. Salt-water pool, travertine decking, outdoor kitchen, gazebo lounge with double fireplaces. It’s basically a private resort hiding in plain sight.

Olde Providence South has always had that understated luxury energy, and this one captures it perfectly.

Can’t wait to share MORE of this masterpiece with you all. 👏🏽

Some weeks change you more than you realize. The eXp Convention in Miami did that for us.

Ashley and I came home.. and immediately hit the ground running. It’s been a busy and really good stretch.. but I’ve been wanting to share this because that week genuinely shifted something in us.

We learned a lot. We were surrounded by people we admire. We had conversations that pushed us in all the right ways. And I came back sharper.. more grounded.. and more focused on serving at the highest level for my clients and my team.

There’s something about stepping out of your routine and being around people who are growing on purpose. You absorb it. You feel that stretch. And you come home different.

A month later, I still feel it. Grateful for the people who poured into us. Grateful Ashley could be there with me. Grateful for the reminder that growth is really about stewardship and showing up well for the people who trust you.

Here’s a quick recap of that week. Hope it gives you a small glimpse of what it meant to us.

At Steele Creek last night we had the best Thanksgiving pot luck with our church fam... AND I ran into our ONE fan from our 2010s rock band era! Thanks for representing @marta clarkson

You are not paying a percentage.
You are hiring someone who knows how to protect your equity instead of gambling with it.

You are hiring:

Pricing precision
Negotiation pressure
Marketing reach
Inspection and appraisal management
A real buyer network
Contract experience that prevents disasters

But sure.. save that 3 percent.

Let us run the actual numbers.. 

Scenario A The Pro (6%)

List Price 700000 (based on data.. not emotions)
Launch pro photos, targeted ads, pre launch buzz, staging tweaks
Activity 18 showings in 3 days
Offers 3 offers, competitive

Final Contract Price 721000 (because the pro knew how to create demand)

Inspection agent saves you 9000 in requested repairs
Appraisal agent successfully defends value with a full report (buyer keeps full price)

Timeline 27 days to closing
Carrying Costs 0 surprise costs because it moved fast

Your Net Scenario A

Sale price 721000
Minus 6 percent commission 43260

Total Net 677740

Solid. Clean. Protected.

Scenario B The Discount Agent (3%)

This is where people lose money without even realizing it.

List Price 725000 (because that is what you wanted to hear)
Launch iPhone photos, no staging help, weak MLS description
Activity 4 showings in 18 days
Feedback overpriced and poorly presented

First price drop 705000
Second price drop 689000

Final offer 675000 (low buyer leverage because the home has been sitting)

Inspection buyer requests 15000 in repairs
Discount agent shrugs and says you probably just need to do it

Appraisal comes in at 665000
Agent does not know how to appeal.. so you eat the 10000 difference

Timeline 64 days on market
Carrying Costs 3800 (interest, utilities, taxes, HOA, insurance)

Your Net Scenario B

Sale price after appraisal hit 665000
Minus 3 percent commission 19950
Minus inspection repairs 15000
Minus carrying costs 3800

Total Net 626250

You did not save 3 percent.
You lost 51490.

This is not theoretical folks. 

People will research a 1200 dollar TV for months..
And then hire the cheapest agent they can find to sell a 700000 dollar home.

Make it make sense Karen.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us, to all of you.
