“Berenice is the absolute BEST! From the very first phone call to the moment I closed on my home, she was supportive, very knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping me accomplish my dream of becoming a first time homeowner. With a very short closing period she maintained professionalism and was on top of all communication with parties involved, making this process stress free. Look no further — Berenice is your girl!”
✦ Hola, soy Berenice
Real estate, in your language.
I'm Berenice Cruz, a real estate broker affiliated with Keller Williams Realty · Ballantyne Area (NC License #345959) — proudly serving the Spanish-speaking community across Charlotte, Union, Cabarrus, Rowan, Stanly and Gaston counties, North Carolina. Casa con Alma is my personal brand, not a separate company: every transaction runs through my Keller Williams office.
Buying or selling a home shouldn't feel like trying to read a contract in a language that isn't yours. My mission is to make sure that doesn't happen — to anyone in our community. From the first showing to handing over the keys, I'm with you every step, in tu idioma.
I specialize in first-time buyers, especially those who arrive with questions about credit, savings or down payment assistance. I know the NC programs and the participating lenders' programs, and what I do is explain them calmly so you can see which ones might apply to you — no promises, no pressure, because every case is different.
I work across the whole Charlotte metro, not just the city: Charlotte, Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville and Huntersville in Mecklenburg County; Monroe, Indian Trail, Stallings, Waxhaw and Weddington in Union County; Concord, Kannapolis, Harrisburg and Midland in Cabarrus County; Salisbury and Rowan County; Albemarle, Locust and Stanly County; and Gastonia and Gaston County. I live in the Midland area myself, so the drive between Monroe, Concord and Albemarle is my daily commute, not a map. See all the areas I serve ✦
— con cariño, Berenice
