REAL ESTATE

Cottage Real Estate is a full-service real estate brokerage specializing in the Lake Norman area, just north of Charlotte, NC. Our brokerage represents clients buying or selling residential real estate - whether as a primary, secondary/vacation, or investment property. Our team approach tailors the experience to each individual client, based on their real estate goals.

Our sister companies, Cottage Rental Collection and The Tailored Cottage, allow us to continue our full-service offers to our clients, by also managing investment properties and “Cottage Concierge” with our design/project management services offered to our investor clients to prepare properties for our rental portfolio. Cottage Rental Collection's niche is creating luxurious rentals in Cornelius, Davidson, and Huntersville.

We understand the urgency that comes with needing to buy or sell a property in a short amount of time, relocating to a new state, and relying on real estate technology to make the paperwork portion feel painless. Purchasing a home or selling a property is an investment. An investment of time, money, and emotion. Partnering with a Broker who understands and appreciates this can be crucial to the success of your real estate transaction. You'll find that our approach is fresh, the technology is great, and our marketing strategy is unique. We welcome the opportunity to talk with you to determine how we can assist!

Extremely happy with Cottage Real Estate + Rental Collection. They partner with their clients to ensure their needs are met, and facilitate the process with ease. More specifically, they posted my rental property quickly with fantastic photos (really really nice ones); they came prepared with the right pricing strategy (one which was very thoughtful, I'll add); they found and screened excellent tenants; and they use great software that makes the move-in process easy. I highly recommend Cottage Real Estate + Rental Collection to work with.

The best team in the entire business. When thinking about the most expensive purchase you will ever make, finding someone you can fully trust is imperative. This is the team you need and the team you want in your corner throughout the home buying process. We have worked with Amy and Marty for the last 6 years now and not only do they always have our best interest at their very core, we consider them wonderful friends. We have worked together through 5 transactions, a total of 3 moves since landing in North Carolina as a young family with small children. Thanks to their support, expert guidance and visions for things that could be, we have finally found our forever home that will see our family grow for the next decade and beyond. The Cottage team is also an incredible resource for everything that comes after closing. They have an incredible network of trusted partners that we have used as we begin the transformation of our house to HOME. From flooring and painters to design and hardware selection, they always have an answer or resource for whatever project we dream up next! Thank you Amy and Marty!

Can’t say enough about Cottage Realty- everyone is so friendly and helpful. Marty and Amy are first class and it has been a pleasure getting to know them as well as working with them.

Talk about an amazing rental experience from start to finish-Cottage Real Estate is truly exceptional in terms of communication, tenant appreciation (the gift bag we received when we moved in was so unexpected and appreciated) and overall responsiveness. Their client portal is easy to navigate, rental payments easy to establish through the portal and repair requests are easy to log. And finally, the Cottage Team as a whole is amazing… Marty, Amy, Holly & Chase…. Absolutely phenomenal (not to mention countless others behind the scenes making sure each experience with Cottage is 5-star)! If you’re in the market for a soft spot to land, look no further than the Cottage Real Estate website-Cottage has it down to a science!

Amy and Marty and the whole Cottage team are absolute pros and such a pleasure to work with. We have been working with Cottage for many years now, and could not recommend them highly enough. Whether buying or selling, managing properties, or strategizing about long term investments, they are incredibly knowledgeable about the local housing markets, and offer wholistic input that takes every factor into account.

We highly recommend Cottage Real Estate. Marty worked with us during a time when we needed to quickly figure out temporary housing while repairs were being done to our home. We appreciated how responsive and helpful he was. The rest of the team - Amy, Chase, and Holly - were professional and helpful during each of our interactions. We had a great rental experience from start to finish!

Amy, Marty and team have been wonderful to work with over the last 24 months. We rented property through them and they were very responsive to any issues we encountered. The last 2 months they helped us purchase the property we were renting and held our hands the entire way. This was the easiest property purchase we have ever been apart of in 37 years. Thank you Cottage RE for everything you have done for us!

Our experience with Cottage Real Estate was excellent! The Pink Door Cottage where we were short term renting while building our home was nicely decorated making our stay very comfortable. As fully furnished rentals, they provide literally everything down to cleaning and laundry products! Marty, Amy and their entire team do an excellent job of maintaining their rental properties and they are very responsive to any issues that arise. For anyone needing a short-term rental in the Lake Norman area, we highly recommend Cottage Real Estate + Rental Collection!

Cottage Rental Collection was such a blessing! We had to temporarily leave our home due to mold making us sick - only to move into another rental that had mold (NOT a cottage property!). I ran across Cottage Rental while desperately trying to find a furnished home that allowed dogs and a shorter lease term…Amy and Marty were SO helpful. They were able to get a home furnished and ready for us within a week, even asking what furnishings / housewares we needed. They were so flexible, so easy to work with. The office crew is incredibly responsive. Just an amazing experience all around! I would highly recommend to anyone!!
