Steve Jarrell

Welcome home to South Charlotte.

I spent a decade building the marketing technology that top agents across the country use to sell homes. Now I bring that same industry-insider perspective directly to buyers and sellers across South Charlotte, Weddington, Waxhaw, and the Carolina suburbs I call home.

Living in South Charlotte.

I started Living in South Charlotte because most online content about this area is either a stale tourism blurb or a generic "best places to live" list. Buyers moving here deserve better. On this channel I walk you through the neighborhoods, schools, downtowns, and day-to-day feel of each community the way a local would show a friend, so you can picture your life here before you ever land a flight. Every guide is filmed on the ground, not from a desk, and every market update is built on the same MLS data I use with my own clients.

About Steve

Leading the way in South Charlotte real estate.

As Team Lead of The Longleaf Group at eXp Realty, I have built my career around one idea: South Charlotte buyers and sellers deserve an agent who understands this market at a level most others cannot match.

Years Combined Team Experience

I grew up in Tennessee, earned my MBA from the University of Tennessee with concentrations in marketing and entrepreneurship, and spent more than a decade leading a real estate marketing technology company before becoming a REALTOR myself. That background gave me a perspective few local agents have. I saw from the inside how the very best agents in the country market themselves, how buyers actually engage with listings online, and what separates elite performance in this business from everything else.

My wife Amanda and I relocated to Weddington, North Carolina more than ten years ago. We chose South Charlotte for the same reasons most of my clients do: family, schools, and a long-term quality of life decision. It is home, and the communities I serve are the same ones where we live, volunteer, and raise our kids.

South Charlotte is not a territory I farm. It is the neighborhood my family lives in and the market I walk every day.
Steve Jarrell

Today I lead The Longleaf Group at eXp Realty, the top-producing real estate team in Union County, North Carolina and ranked in the top 5% of agents across the greater Charlotte region. I hold eXp's ICON Agent designation, the company's highest honor given to fewer than one percent of agents nationally, along with the luxury real estate designation. I am licensed in both North Carolina and South Carolina, covering Weddington, Waxhaw, Matthews, Marvin, Indian Trail, Ballantyne, Fort Mill, and Indian Land.

Together, our senior team brings more than 30 years of combined South Charlotte real estate experience. In the last twelve months alone, we closed more than $25 million in transactions across the communities we serve, with a consistent 5.0 rating across 130+ five-star reviews on Google and Zillow.

Client Reviews

What South Charlotte is saying.

Six recent five-star reviews from Google. Not cherry-picked. Not rewritten. These are the words real clients used after they closed.

5.0
Based on 130+ Google reviews

We can't say enough about how thorough and caring Steve and Amanda have been during the selling of one house and buying of another. They are always available and have solutions to whatever pops up. We will always use them for any real estate deal and highly recommend them to everyone who needs exceptional, professional real estate knowledge.

Steve expertly prioritized properties based on our specific needs, and he absolutely crushed it. With 4 kids under 5 and searching from Georgia, my wife and I needed to make efficient use of every visit. Steve made himself available on weekends, answered all calls and texts instantly, and eventually became a close friend throughout the process. The Longleaf Group made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.

As an out-of-state property owner selling in North Carolina, Steve Jarrell went above and beyond. There were documents that needed to be picked up and without hesitation he offered to handle it, managing the whole process so I never had to fly in. I'm not sure we would have gotten it done with another realtor. I'm so glad we found him and his team.

What began as a standard real estate transaction quickly became something much more, a journey marked by trust, transparency, and genuine human connection. This home is a milestone for us, a blessing that arrived fifteen years ahead of retirement planning, and Steve played an essential role in making it possible. If you are looking for someone who is not only exceptional at his craft but genuinely invested in the people he serves, Steve Jarrell is that person.

Everyone seems to know someone who's a realtor but Steve is absolutely the best. He worked with us for more than a year, wasn't pushy, continued to be optimistic, and helped us figure out what we wanted when we weren't sure. He's the kind of guy you'd want to hang out with even if he wasn't your realtor. Steve and his family are warm, welcoming, and community-focused. If we could give him more stars we would.

From the initial conversation, Steve was attentive, professional, and committed to helping me find the right home. He took the time to understand my needs, walked me through every step, and always made himself available, no matter how small the question. His knowledge made the entire process smooth. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Charlotte or Fort Mill area.
