Stop doom scrolling, meet Lorimer
Start a home search in Ballantyne, and you hear the exact two words within a few conversations: Steven and Marie. The Lorimer team is based at Allen Tate’s Charlotte-South office, where phones are answered and calendars are packed, serving both buyers and sellers throughout the metro area and across the state line.
Sponsor plug: Mercedes-Benz of South Charlotte
Our neighbors at Mercedes-Benz of South Charlotte invite you to book a private showroom appointment at 950 N Polk St., Pineville, 704-889-4444. For context on why the store keeps showing up in our pages, read our two features: Luxury Car Dealer in NC and Luxury Sales Leader with a Community Engine.
Who they are, in plain view
The couple works as a husband-and-wife team at Howard Hanna Allen Tate. Steven’s agent page lists his direct line and office location within the Charlotte-South office at 15640 Don Lochman Lane, Suite 200. Marie’s page lists her direct line at the same office. Both pages note that the team represents both buyers and sellers and holds membership in the major REALTOR® associations. The Allen Tate site explicitly notes they are licensed in North Carolina and South Carolina. Source: Steven’s official profile and Marie’s official profile.
What experience looks like
Marie’s background includes over 15 years of experience in homebuilding marketing, with responsibilities spanning Charlotte and Raleigh. Steven’s page describes a sales career that transitioned to real estate, where he earned Rookie of the Year honors and has represented clients across the Charlotte metro area. These details are taken directly from their Allen Tate biographies. See Steven’s page and Marie’s page.
Team structure and coverage
Their team includes a licensed NC/SC transaction coordinator, Dana Overby. The Allen Tate profile also describes a client mix that skews roughly 60 percent sellers and 40 percent buyers. For readers asking, “Do they actually work South Charlotte and the border towns?” we checked multiple sources. The team’s own materials and community features show regular work around Ballantyne and nearby South Carolina communities such as Fort Mill and Indian Land, along with wider metro coverage including Huntersville and Davidson. See Steven’s agent page and a community profile from Stroll Magazine’s Ballantyne Country Club edition that summarizes the areas they serve.
Recognition on the record
If you’ve seen the “power couples” language, it is not a rumor. The February 2025 Charlotte Real Producers issue features a two-page profile on Steven & Marie Lorimer, including the team’s origin story and emphasis on treating clients like family. Read the feature here: Charlotte Real Producers, Feb. 2025, “Steven & Marie Lorimer”.
