Working with Steve Jarrell and The Longleaf Group
For most buyers and sellers in greater South Charlotte, real estate is bigger than a transaction. It is a school decision, a commute, a tax question across two states, and a community to find. That is the work I focus on every day. I lead The Longleaf Group at eXp Realty, a small team focused on Weddington, Waxhaw, Marvin, Matthews, Indian Trail, and Ballantyne in North Carolina, plus Fort Mill and Indian Land in South Carolina. Together we have more than 30 years of combined experience in this corridor and 130+ five-star Google reviews from past clients. I have been recognized as an eXp Realty ICON Agent, an honor earned annually by fewer than 1% of agents in the network. You can verify my track record on Zillow, read my full set of Google reviews, and follow my weekly neighborhood deep-dives on the Living in South Charlotte YouTube channel. Before real estate, I led Paradym, a marketing technology platform built for real estate professionals. The company was acquired by Constellation Software (TSX: CSU) in 2020. That experience shapes how I run a transaction now: in systems, with documented process, especially for the parts of a deal that should be repeatable. I am passionate about the areas I work and live in. I will always bring my best for my clients and treat them like family. If you are researching a move to greater South Charlotte, the next step is a 15-minute call. We will talk about your timeline, the towns on your shortlist, and whether I am the right fit for the work.Living in South Charlotte with Steve Jarrell

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.

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.

What began as a standard real estate transaction quickly became something much more, a journey marked by trust, transparency, and genuine human connection.

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. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Charlotte or Fort Mill area.
