In January 2020, Nadia Meredith decided she wanted to enter the real estate industry. She quickly passed her North Carolina licensing exam and signed on to be an agent with Cottingham Chalk. When the pandemic hit and turned the real estate market upside down in Charlotte, Nadia hit the ground running and sold her first home in June 2020.

 

Although she is primarily located in Charlotte, Nadia travels across the Carolinas to provide her clients the perfect home.

 

“My clients need different things and want to look at locations all across North and South Carolina,” Meredith says. “So I’ll drive anywhere from the lake to South Carolina.”

When Nadia met her husband Eric, they began buying real estate properties together, which ignited her passion for real estate and was the catalyst for getting her real estate license. Nadia didn’t anticipate the highs and lows that came with real estate, but nonetheless, she still adored the industry.

 

“Within real estate, there are high highs and low lows,” Meredith says. “There’s also a story and a family tied to each purchase; it's more than a business transaction.”

 

Nadia says she did not enter the industry for the paycheck alone; she entered to help others and positively impact their lives by finding a great home and building community. She also notes she finds joy within the competitiveness of the housing market: the high of a win for her clients is a feeling that, she says, can’t be beat.

 

The relationship Nadia has with her clients is just as important, if not more important, than the transaction itself. She remains in contact with all her clients even after they close, often helping them find vendors, such as plumbers and contractors, but also has been known to share great restaurant recommendations.

 

“I take on as much as I need to for clients,” Meredith says. “I do whatever is needed to get their house ready. If it’s new construction, I will sit in on every appointment. I am there every step of the way and make sure to always answer their questions, no matter how big or small.”

 

Not only is Meredith a successful real estate agent, but she is also a wife and mother who aims to give her 5-year-old daughter the best life possible. Her family is incredibly important to her, and she makes sure that they are prioritized.

 

“I hope what I do today and the life I am building now makes a difference in my daughter's life and in the lives of her kids and future generations to come,” Meredith says.

 

Culture is another important aspect of Meredith’s life. She is originally from Morocco and finds her multicultural lifestyle important for relating to some of her clients. She is an understanding agent who can relate to her clients as they may share similar life stories to hers.

 

“Being multicultural and living in different places has definitely shaped who I am today,” Meredith says. “I speak three different languages and can understand and relate to other cultures, which makes it helpful to meet various types of people's needs.”

 

Nadia plans to continue expanding her clientele across multiple states as she goes forward.

 

“I received my South Carolina license over the summer and sold some homes there, so I would like to continue to grow my clientele in both North Carolina and South Carolina,” Meredith says. “I also enjoy working with investors and will continue to partner with both individuals and firms in the future.”

 

Understanding the struggles that arise in such a competitive industry, Meredith can relate to aspiring REALTORSⓇ, as well as clients. She places a tremendous amount of importance on the well-being of her clients and wants to make their home-buying experience peaceful. The overall experience she gives to her clients is her definition of success: if she can prevent any stress from being placed on them, she feels that she achieved something.

 

“Real estate is more than a transaction for me, and my goal is to make every transaction really smooth. Success for me is my clients walking away happy and the only thing they have to think about is moving into their dream home,” Meredith says. “Most of the time, I even take care of scheduling movers for them.”
