What clients say
Decades of relationships. Hundreds of happy families.
“Rory and his team were fantastic to work with! He was professional, responsive, and made the entire selling process smooth and stress-free. He brought in a great buyer quickly and got the deal closed without any hassle at the best possible price. Highly recommend Rory and Clients 1st Property Group to anyone looking to sell their property!”

“We purchased a home and sold a home with the help of the team at Clients 1st this year and had a wonderful experience. We truly felt they had our best interests in mind all along and gave us great professional guidance, plus all of the logistics were handled clearly and proactively. Shout out Rory and Tia!”

“Rory was incredible. I feel like Rory knew what we wanted in a house more than we did and it paid off big time. He wasn't afraid to speak his mind for the good and bad of all the homes we looked at. He's worked with our daughter and now my wife and I and I hope that more family members will use him to move to Charlotte as well. If you want an agent that doesn't mince words, speaks from his own experience and stays away from the BS clichés you hear from most realtors, Rory is the man!!”

“Working with Rory Cummins and Tia Greene was a great experience. They both handled things professionally and tailored the experience to what we needed. They were patient in the property/deal finding process during a less affordable home buying time, brought their wealth of knowledge to every opportunity, and ultimately pushed the other party appropriately when it came time to closing the contract. I would easily turn to them for any future home purchasing or selling. Whether it's an investment or owner occupied property, they won't skip a beat and will make it the best experience possible.”
