WHY THIS SITE FEATURES FINE HOMES

Newcomers to Charlotte are often surprised to discover that it has so many upscale neighborhoods and luxury homes scattered throughout the area.  Fine Homes International(sm) Specialist, Lucinda Maples, dedicated this site to bringing together in one spot an overview of some of the best that Charlotte has to offer.

Prudential Real Estate established the Fine Homes International(sm) Specialist designation to recognize agents with the level of experience, comprehensive knowledge and uncompromising attention to detail that qualify them to provide the exacting quality of service expected by affluent clientele. Lucinda Maples was the first agent in the Charlotte region to receive this designation.

         The Hotel industry - concierge and Personnel Director in luxury hotels in Dallas and Miami

         The Real Estate Industry - one of Prudential Carolinas Realty's top agents since 1994.

 "I've had a great career, meeting interesting people from all over the world, including celebrities, political figures, top business executives and others with special needs and high expectations.
