Tyler Wilhoit

Tyler is one of the lucky few who have always known what they wanted to do. He began his career with a boutique firm in Charlotte once out of UNCC. Late in 2009, Tyler saw an opportunity to grow his business closer to home during one of the toughest markets in history. Since that time, the name Tyler Wilhoit has become synonymous with a high level of customer service and performance. He consistently ranks in the top 10 of Triad residential real estate in sales volume and number of homes sold. The key to his success is a keen sense of what buyers are looking for and the ability to assist sellers in achieving that look within their budget. Tyler prides himself on level setting expectations and working diligently to price the home right the first time.

Angel Schwarz - Co-Founder

Keaton is my godson. He was a special young man, from the day that he was born. Always smiling, he was my blue-eyed boy with the face of an Angel. Drugs steal away the soul of the brightest and sweetest children, every day. It is our mission to try to bring these souls back to living the life they deserve to live.
