The Lorimer Realty Team: Turning Houses into Homes in Charlotte
In the fast-paced world of Charlotte real estate, a home isn’t just property—it’s the heart of the community. No one understands this better than Steven and Marie Lorimer of the Lorimer Realty Team, whose work is woven deeply into the very fabric of Ballantyne and the greater Charlotte area.
For Steven, whose roots took hold in Charlotte soil during elementary school, and Marie, a native Charlottean shaped by the halls of South Mecklenburg High, real estate isn’t merely a job—it’s a calling. With Steven’s decade-plus experience at Allen Tate and Marie’s unique blend of 15 years in new construction combined with a degree from NC State’s prestigious Design School, they have meticulously cultivated an approach that resonates deeply with families settling into their new Charlotte lives.
In 2024 alone, an average of 117 people per day chose to call Charlotte home. The Lorimers see beyond these numbers, viewing each new resident as neighbors needing guidance, reassurance, and authenticity. Amid rising interest rates and an ever-evolving housing market, their genuine dedication and local expertise have turned anxious newcomers into confident homeowners.
Marie’s intuitive staging skills, bolstered by her design training, bring each listed home alive, showcasing the potential each space holds. Steven, recognized by Allen Tate for his consistent top-producing performance, anchors their reputation in reliability and client-centered results.
But perhaps the greatest testament to the Lorimers’ integrity is their approach to balancing business with family. When they’re not closing deals, they’re courtside or on the greens, cheering their sons Julius and Olson. Olson, the bold 7th-grader now playing varsity tennis, and Julius, a 9th-grade golf standout, mirror their parents’ ethos: if you’re going to do something, commit wholeheartedly, or don’t do it at all.
Recently featured as a Real Producers Power Couple, the Lorimers embody the spirit of modern Charlotte—rooted in family, guided by passion, and driven by community. Their business isn’t just transactions; it’s about transforming each house into a Charlotte dream home.
