More about Eric Layne

With the first part of my career spent in Advertising & Marketing at some of the top firms in New York and the world, I now thrive in the Charlotte metro real estate market bringing together significant backgrounds including sales and marketing, new construction, home renovations, design, staging, and investment property acquisitions. These disciplines have come together to bring my clients a tremendous advantage in an ever-changing market. Coupled with a direct, no-nonsense approach, I consistently achieve the best results and highest value for my clients. Originally from Long Island NY and a graduate of East Carolina University, I now call Charlotte home since 2008 and enjoy every minute of it. As a father of 4 kids and 2 dachshunds, I am no stranger to a busy lifestyle! My goal is to make the purchase or sale of your home as easy as possible while building a personal brand that’s innovative and reliable with a quality service guarantee. Looking forward to your business and the productive and prosperous relationship.

    • I'm extremely picky and admittedly a difficult person to work with. Eric went above and beyond to find us a home, as well as get ours sold super quickly! I would highly recommend working with Eric and certainly will again in the future.

      - Rachel H. - Charlotte
    • Given how difficult the process was to close our transaction, without Eric's experience, patience and guidance we would have pulled out of the transaction. He was a consummate professional and re-assuring trusted adviser throughout the process.

      - Jerry W. - Matthews
    • We've worked with Eric on past home purchases and he continues to provide excellent customer service as well as incredible market knowledge. Our home was well priced and we received an offer the first day it was on the market. We really appreciate all his hard work!

      - Kevin D. - Charlotte
    • Eric was far and above more knowledgeable than his competitors. We couldn't have found a better realtor. If you're considering "For sale by owner" or considering using a realtor other than Eric, don't! I certainly wouldn't want Eric on the other side of the negotiating table.

      - Matt & Meaghan - Charlotte
    • Eric was awesome to work with throughout the entire process, but what really set him apart is that he helped us even after closing. He was willing to recommend and help arrange painters, cleaners, etc. He truly went above and beyond and we trusted him to help us find the right home.

      - Laura - Charlotte
    • Eric did a fantastic job selling our home within hours of hitting the market, over the asking price. We would definitely use him again! He was clear, direct, and professional about what we needed to do to reach our goals; coordinating help in services when we needed it. We would highly recommend Eric Layne!

      - Julie B. - Charlotte
    • Eric is top-notch and well respected in Charlotte. He helped us find our home in one day! He is beyond thorough in understanding your wants and needs for a home and understands the making of a house and how it is built. He is honest, and a phenomenal negotiator. And his referral partners are great as well. He has surrounded himself with elite and talented professionals. Go to Eric and you will be extremely satisfied.

      - Nick S. - Huntersville
    • One of the most professional real estate agents we've ever worked with. He educated us on the process and kept us in the loop the entire time. We really felt that he had our best interests at heart and really looked out for us. We love our home and don't plan on moving anytime soon but when we do, we will call Eric and have referred him to friends and families that have had great experiences with him as well! A+ experience!

      - Lauren L. - Charlotte
    • Eric did a fantastic job handling every part of the transaction! It was my first time selling a home and Eric educated me on every part of the process. He made it simple and kept me informed on a regular basis. I felt that he knows the market very well and got top dollar for my home and kept my best interest at hand. I would highly recommend Eric Layne to help you with the buying or selling of your home. It was an enjoyable process!

      - Lauren C. - Charlotte
    • Eric is the best around. He helped us buy, and then a few years later, sell our first home. As first-time home buyers and sellers, we couldn't have asked for a better agent. He was knowledgeable and prepared with data about the areas we were looking at when buying and then again with comps and valuation estimates when we were looking to sell. Eric gave us all the information we needed to make the best decisions for us. Highly recommend Eric.

      - Colin D. - Charlotte
    • My wife and I have bought two homes with Eric. He absolutely goes above and beyond for his clients. For example, when purchasing our current home we wanted to renovate it right away. We needed general contractors to give us quotes quickly to ensure we could do it within our budget. Eric sat at the property for two days while contractors came through, answering any questions they had. He knew our vision and helped communicate to others. If you want a personalized experience, there is no one better than Eric.

      - Matt & Molly G. - Charlotte
    • We have known Eric for over 7 years. We wouldn't trust our business to any other agent. Over those years he has become, not only our agent but a close friend. Being absentee landlords on this particular property we relied heavily on Eric. From advertising to making sure the property was clean, freshly painted, and presentable to prospective customers, open houses, and so much more Eric went far and beyond what you would expect an agent to do. Helen Adams stands for quality, and Eric Layne is the embodiment of that quality.

      - Nancy & Richard H. - Charlotte
    • Eric has a great understanding of the Charlotte market throughout, which is large and varied. He is also very knowledgeable on the various options available to buyers: new construction, rent, buy and improve, etc. Eric is great at considering the current value of a home and the potential value and the cost-benefit associated with those decisions. I would recommend Eric Layne to anyone looking in and around Charlotte for both his local knowledge as well as his general real estate acumen. He is also extremely easy to work with.

      - Drew C. - Davidson
    • Hands down, the best agent youll have the pleasure of working with! Eric was able to immediately identify problem areas that had previously prevented us from selling our home. Not only that, he was able to use his unique vision, professional experience, and vast network to quickly make repairs and ultimately get us top dollar in the sale of our home! Will only use Eric Layne in any future real estate endeavors and would caution others that using anyone else could be a costly mistake. A true professional in his field and pleasure to work with!

      - James R. - Charlotte
    • Eric is very knowledgeable about the market and the quality of craftsmanship in the homes that we looked at, especially considering that we wanted an older home with character. He was able to easily steer us away from properties that were not quality products to help us find a house that we both really love in the perfect neighborhood! Although we haven't closed on the house yet, I've always felt that Eric was sincere, honest and trustworthy, almost like a big brother that has your back. My mother is also looking to purchase a house in the Charlotte market and I definitely feel comfortable with Eric being the right realtor for her as well. He puts his clients first and works hard for you behind the scenes to ensure that you get the best deal possible. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends or family! Great guy!
