About
With the first part of my career spent in Advertising & Marketing at some of the top firms in New York, I now thrive in the Charlotte real estate market bringing together significant backgrounds including sales and marketing, new construction, home renovations, design, staging, and investment property. 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. 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.

Ratings & Reviews

Charlotte W.

If you're looking for someone with tremendous knowledge about investment property in Charlotte, Eric Layne is the one!

Manoella M.

Eric Layne is very professional and one of the most knowledgeable and helpful real state agent I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He assisted us during such a stressful time selling a house out of state and finding our dream home. I would strongly recommend Eric to all my friends and family. His expertise, patience and negotiation skills are impressive not to mention his attention to detail throughout the entire process! Thank you Eric for turning such a stressful time into a positive experience!

Ben L.

Eric is a fantastic realtor and great to work with. He's professional and trustworthy while looking out for your best interests. I'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

Jenny T.

Eric was excellent in providing me with the type of service I was looking for - someone attentive to detail, is very clear cut with explanations, has experience in home building with contractor connections, and is timely with responses. Eric was respectful, patient with all of my new home owner inquiries, and assertive when it mattered. He brought all of his knowledge and skills to the table throughout the home buying experience that generated great trust and confidence. I felt that I was in good hands and that my interests were at the forefront.

Kevin D.

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!

Laura M.

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.

Meagan & Tyler R.

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.

Lauren L.

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!

Nancy H.

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.

Drew C.

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.

Jerry W.

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. Thank you Eric!

Diana A.

As first time home buyers, Eric Layne made the whole process very easy. He was responsive to calls/emails, extremely knowledgeable about the surrounding Charlotte area/market and was very patient with us throughout the entire process. He helped us find the perfect home and we could not be more grateful! We would highly recommend Eric to anyone looking to buy a home.

Colin D.

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.

James R.

Hands down, best agent you’ll 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. True professional in his field and pleasure to work with!

Julie B.

Eric did a fantastic job selling our home - within hours of hitting the market, over 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!
