✦ 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

✦ What I bring

A different kind of guidance

Bilingual contracts

Every contract, addendum, and disclosure walked through in your preferred language. Nothing signed without full understanding.

Down payment strategy

Knowledge of the state, federal and lender programs available in NC, and of which ones might apply to you. The lender confirms eligibility; I help you get to closing with clarity.

KW backbone

Backed by the largest real estate franchise by agent count, with the marketing reach, technology, and tools to compete in any price range.

Up to $15,000 for your down payment — for eligible buyers, through participating lenders

Subject to qualification; closing-cost assistance programs also exist, and not every program can be combined. I help buyers across the Charlotte metro — Charlotte, Monroe, Indian Trail, Waxhaw, Concord, Kannapolis, Salisbury, Midland, Albemarle and Gastonia — learn about state and lender-backed assistance — including the NC 1st Home Advantage Down Payment, lender-backed homebuyer grant, FHA, VA and USDA programs.

“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!”
