We have worked with Chip twice now (as sellers and buyers) on original recommendation from a mutual friend and he is great! Exceptionally communicative, available to answer any and every question and dedicated to helping you get a good price for your house or get a good house for the price! We have been in our latest house for nearly a year now and love it! We will definitely be using Chip again in the future, as well as recommending him to anyone who needs a solid agent that will have your back day and night.

I was living out of state when I was seeking a property on Lake Norman to build a retirement home. I called Chip Free a day before I visited the area, stated my objectives, and told him I would stop by to start a conversation with no expectations. Unlike other realtors, Chip provided a wealth of information about rules and regulations for lakefront property, and provided at least 10 properties at our first meeting with no pressure. I stayed in contact with Chip for over 9 months. His networking yielded a beautiful property that was going to be placed on the market. He structured the offer to address potential situations with the property to provide protection to me as the buyer. Chip was supportive and proactively addressed the many issues facing the property during the due diligence period. Chip worked to achieve the best outcome for me. It was an exceedingly difficult sale due to many complexities associated with purchasing on the lake. I would highly recommend Chip Free.
