Success Stories

Dorthe was the best solution for us to sell our home in the Palisades. She is very knowledgeable about the area and has strong relationships, within the marketplace, that will attract buyers quickly! Dorthe was also tremendously helpful after we left the area in sorting out many complications with our sale and was always available and willing to go the extra distance to move the process forward.

It was a wonderful experience working with Allen Tate real estate. We happy new home owners.

The experience we had with Dorthe was beyond excellent. Her knowledge and guidance was beyond reproach.

It was a pleasure working with Dorthe. She was attentive to our needs and concerns from the start of the sale process, particularly after our initial potential buyer withdrew his offer at the last minute. I would not hesitate to recommend her to another client. She worked well with us in the initial purchase of this home several years ago and it's recent sale.

Despite slower activity and unusual market conditions due to high interest rates and home prices, we were pleased with the choice of Allen Tate and Dorthe as local Palisades experts.

During the current volatility of the real estate market, Dorthe gave us confidence that our home would sell. From the professional photographs to the marketing brochure created, she provided a perfect illustration of our home and the wonderful attributes of our community. We will certainly contract with her in the future should we have need to move again.

Dorthe's strong knowledge of the local market helped us establish realistic expectations during a challenging real estate environment.

Dorthe has been our agent for 2 real estate sales over the last 4 years. Both times she has gone above and beyond on explaining the process, suggestions for salability, and feedback as the process has worked itself out. Her knowledge and ability to assist us in putting our home in the best light are exemplary. I cannot say enough about how well she works with her clients and how please we are in the results.

Dorthe is a very professional agent. Not only is she knowledgeable but she really puts you first. She is honest and when she says something, or asked to do something there is no doubt that she and her staff will get it done in a timely fashion. You never have to ask twice. Last but not least, she is honest and trustworthy. I'm very happy to have used her as my agent and to have gained an ally in the hard to navigate world of real estate.

Dorthe and her team did an excellent job in helping us sell our home. She is extremely knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond - even collecting our old mail from the new owner and mailing it to us at our new address after we closed! I highly recommend Dorthe, especially for homes in the Palisades.

Dorthe was an amazing asset while selling and buying our homes in the Palisades area. Her knowledge and expertise in the local area made for finding a once in a lifetime property to build a dream home. Dorthe's intuition made for timing the market perfectly with the appropriate price point, allowing for a stress free transition. As an advocate Dorthe ensured a great final product for our family to move into at the end of the building process. We could not be happier with the product Dorthe provided start to finish. We would highly recommend Dorthe and her team at Allen Tate.

Dorthe is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She sold my home quickly and helped me find a new place that I love in a very short time frame. Top-notch and no nonsense. She worked for me to get me the best price for the home I sold as well as the one I bought. Highly recommend!

Dorthe is extremely experienced with the entire Palisades neighborhood and surrounding area. If you're looking to buy or sell in the Palisades, she is your agent!

Dorthe is an excellent realtor possessing remarkable local market insight, a proactive and clear communication style, transparency, strong ethics, patience, and an outstanding, unflappable professional demeanor in all circumstances. She is equally adept at managing the "big picture" while maintaining a watchful and proactive style with all details. I highly recommend Dorthe if you are looking for a top-notch realtor. She exceeds all expectations flawlessly.

We recently relocated to Charlotte in Aug 2024 and specifically did not secure a realtor until knowing our area of living interest. After much research of top realtors in the area, the Havmoeller Team kept coming back with top results and Dorthe contacted us right away after a late night email inquiry and then we were off to look at homes. She was very professional and responsive from start to finish, certainly knows the market, and provided great guidance throughout the negotiations and final sale process, especially not being from NC. There's certainly a reason she is a top realtor and we highly recommend Dorthe and her team to anyone buying/selling in Charlotte area.

My wife and I had a truly great experience while working with Dorthe and her team at Allen Tate. We felt very comfortable once we had our 1st consultation with Dorthe. She came to our meeting very well prepared. She did a great job in sharing her plans on how best to market and sell our home. Dorthe impressed us with the knowledge of the local market, comparable home info and her thoughts on the game plan on how to proceed. Once we put the house on the market, she committed to multiple open houses which led to significant interest and ultimately the sale of our home in 20 days. Dorthe is extremely knowledgeable, personable and handled our home sale in a very professional manner. She is truly an amazing realtor. My wife and I would highly recommend Dorthe for anyone's real estate needs moving forward. She is the best!

From our first interview with Dorthe in choosing a listing agent, through preparing for listing, evaluating offers and after closing, we knew we chose the right agent for us. Her experience, decisiveness and personality made for a smooth process, even after learning we had an open permit against our property that needed to be resolved. While there were some stressful moments, Dorthe's expertise and assistance and tenacity guided us toward a successful sale. She treated us like her only client although being a foremost expert in Palisades real estate, she has many clients. If you choose Dorthe to represent you on the sale or buy side, you won't be disappointed.

Dorthea was a wonderful agent. She is confident in what she does and follows through on every detail.

Dorthe is very professional while also being friendly and personable. She knows the area extremely well and knew exactly what action to take to reach our target buyers and get our house sold.

Dorthe is a very informed in the real estate market and she is honest. I would recommend her to anyone needing a realtor. Most importantly, I like her and I trust her.

Dorthe Havmoeller listens, hears, and then works in the best interests of her clients. It is apparent she takes her professional responsibilities seriously.

Dorthe was truly outstanding to work with during every step in the sales process. She has an unsurpassed local market knowledge and industry expertise that are seldom, if ever, seen. Of the many, many homes I have bought and sold over the years, she is among the very best I have had the privilege to work with as a seller. Thank you, Dorthe!

We have moved many times over the years since 1980. By far, Dorthe was the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a top-flight experience.

We were relocating from California to Charlotte. Dorthe was fantastic! She educated us on the Charlotte market, spent countless hours showing us many areas and homes and ultimately went above and beyond to secure the right home for us. Since we were purchasing from afar, she made numerous trips to the home for inspections, reviews, pictures, etc. in our absence. We truly could not have made this move without her expertise. Thank you!

Dorthe was professional, available and responsive.

Supper responsive to needs and questions. Very nice experience.

Having bought and sold two dozen homes over the years, I have seen many realtors in action. By far, Dorthe exceeded them all - she was outstanding in every way!

If you are selling a house in the Lake Wylie area, there is no one better than Dorthe to sell your home quickly. Just listen to her advice.

Dorthe is amazing and we loved working with her. We very much intend to work together in the future for our next home.

Dorthe is very knowledgeable of the local market and guided us we believe wisely in determining our asking price and when to agree on a contract. She also helped us in deciding on appropriate staging and what improvements were or were not important. She was always very responsive and her experience made her effective in negotiations on our behalf. An additional benefit is that she has a team of contacts, from engineers to handy man contractors to movers, which makes it much easier to respond to needs quickly during the process. Overall our experience was great and we recommend Dorthe highly.

Dorthe made the selling process stress-free, even when issues came up that had to be resolved. She communicated with us every time there was something we had to complete, and made sure we had done what needed to be done. She found wonderful movers for us, someone to clean the house, and even got moving boxes for us. I would recommend her for any moving needs that come up.

Dorthe (and Allen Tate) is phenomenal. She makes the entire selling/buying process easier because of her knowledge and expertise. She's attentive, and communicates wonderfully so that we were always in the know throughout the process. So very grateful to her and Allen Tate for our new home!

Dorthe you are the ultimate professional! It is always a pleasure working with you.

Dorthe immediately gave us concrete and actionable suggestions (nothing major) to improve our listing with clear and quick results (the only one that counts, an accepted offer)!

We had a very good experience working with Dorthe. Dorthe carefully walked us through the process to ensure that we fully understood all the aspects of selling a home. She is a very good communicator and she made us feel very comfortable. Dorthe is extremely knowledgeable about homes in the Palisades and came highly recommended. She seemed to appreciate it when we gave our feedback regarding the selling price and the timing of the sale and took our viewpoint into consideration. In addition, she, also, took the time to sit down and talk with us about things we should know regarding the purchase of our new home.

Absolutely the best, most knowledgeable, patient, and organized agent. She and her team were invaluable to me on two home sales. Unbelievable problem solving skills.

She is an amazing Realtor. Works hard to help get your house sold!

I strongly recommend Dorthe and her team for real estate transactions. She has sold two palisades homes for me which went very smoothly at a record price in $ /sq ft. She has been a very valuable resource for me throughout the entire process ...expertise, responsiveness, patient, and a fantastic problem solver. Dorthe will take of your real estate needs!

Dorthe was a great partner throughout the many aspects of parting with our Lake Wylie estate. Her market knowledge and reputation are unsurpassed. The marketing materials captured essence of the property and drew-in agents and buyers. Most important to us was the way that Dorthe partnered with us and supported us through the entire process. There is much more to selling a home than picking a price, putting pictures on MLS, and waiting for a buyer. She was an expert at getting the house prepared for sale, and helping us with all aspects of post sale activities (estate sale, moving, transitioning to the new owner, etc.). We highly recommend Dorthe without hesitation!

Dorthe was a pleasure to work with. She has a keen sense of the market and helped us price our property so that it sold on the first day it was listed! She expertly guided us through the sale process and proved a worthy advocate of ours when negotiations got tense. We sold for our price and the conditions we requested. All in all, a very positive experience! We would recommend Dorthe and her office in a heartbeat!

Dorthea is a very professional, very informative, very helpful. She helped me sold my condo with ease. She was more than a professional realtor she was there for me personally. I highly recommend her.

Dorthe is a true professional that fully understands all of the nuances of selling and marketing a home. She and her team made the whole experience relatively stress free. Thank you team Havmoeller!

Dorthe provided us realistic information about what we could expect from selling our current home and took the time before we listed to show us what is available on the market based on our needs. There was no pressure to go forward with a timeline that we were not comfortable with. In a matter of a couple week's, we received an acceptable offer on our current house and selected a new home that met all of our criteria. Her knowledge and experience were invaluable in making the decision and process as smooth as possible.

We would highly recommend Dorthe. She has a great understanding of the market, with a special talent in navigating the luxury home segment.

We were very well served by Dorthe's genuinely friendly and professional representation during our home sale. There are many reasons why she has been so respected in west and southwest Charlotte (and elsewhere!). We all knew that home sale metrics had changed by the time we listed our home - sales were not flying into closings. Offers were not immediate and were not being being outbid. We had a charming home on a very nice, secluded lot but there was a challenging aspect many potential buyers didn't like. Dorthe stayed with us through it all; we had no doubt we could renew our sales contract with Dorthe and eventually succeed. We were right!

Dorthe is fantastic! She has helped us sell an investment property and now our home of 17 years. She understands the Charlotte real estate market and is involved and supportive throughout the entire process. She brings value, confidence and complete trust to her clients. We highly recommend Dorthe for your real estate needs.

Dorthe is professional, knowledgeable and caring. She held my hand throughout the process of selling my home and helped me through some difficult times and situations. I deeply appreciate her.

Dorthe is amazing! She knows the market, is very responsive, and has a broad network of people to assist her. She was able to find a buyer for our home within a week and helped my husband and I find our dream home by the next week. We have no plans to move again, but if we did, we would certainly want Dorthe to represent us.

Came to first meeting fully prepared to provide a candid overview of the current market in our price range, buyers strategy and suggestions on how to improve the homes appeal. Her marketing approach using a custom brochure of pictures and home highlights was first class. Additionally, her photographer was outstanding. Once we started the selling process she was available 24/7 and communicated with us regularly throughout the sale. After the sale she has continued to work with the buyer on a rental period we needed to complete a new build. I am very stingy on giving testimonies due to a bad experience, but Dorthe is the exception.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Dorthe! She is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, listened to our needs, and supported us in so many ways throughout our difficult experience with our builder. I can't imagine working with any other realtor during that difficult time. I also feel like I could go on for days about how wonderful I think she is. I would recommend her to anyone!

Dorthe is the BEST REALTOR I've ever known. Very knowledgeable, extremely hard working, goes the extra mile without being asked, always available. Just want to add, she's a very fine and caring lady.

We were extremely happy with the collaboration with Dorthe on setting the price and staging the house. She did a great job marketing and we got list price right as prices were shifting lower. She proactively provided the appraiser the strategic relative pricing on similar neighborhood properties highlighting the additional value to have the appraisal meet the needed (and appropriate) valuation. No one is close selling in Regency At Palisades!

I have bought and sold 8 (personal) homes in my life and I have never met anyone like Dorthe Havmoeller. She is the most deft, efficient hard working and smartest woman I have ever met in this field. She surpassed all of my expectations bar absolutely none, did everything I needed which was a lot and so so much more, what a gem of a woman and how lucky is that office to have her on their staff. Dorthe you are THE best!

I just can't say enough about our recent experience with Dorthe. This a realtor that will go above and beyond to handle any/all transactions no matter what issue arises. She is helpful, Kind and informative.

Dorthe was an excellent realtor to work with! She was knowledgable, very responsive, easy to work with and, importantly, had many connections to leverage. Apart from working through a purchase of a new home for us, she provided very good input to our daughter who was purchasing a home. She also made herself available to be at our new home whenever we needed to have someone there to meet contractors, etc. This was invaluable to us as we did not have anyone else able to cover for us at times. We highly recommend Dorthe to any seller or buyer in the Charlotte area.

Ann-Dorthe did an outstanding job for us and we were very pleased with the job she did.

Linda and I were extremely pleased with having Dorthe as our realtor. From the very beginning thru closing, we were impressed with her overall knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and most importantly the personal advise she gave us on how to stage our home so it would be very appealing to prospective buyers. She had a professional photographer take photos and videos of our home. They turned out very nice and were incorporated into a detailed written description for publication on the various sites. It all paid off as we ended up selling our home at the first showing on the first day it was on the market. You can't ask for more than that! If you decide to work with Dorthe, you won't be disappointed. She is very personable, easy to work with, and will definitely get the job done for you!

Dorthe was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end of my housing journey. I was going through a divorce and so she first sold the marital home. The pictures she took of that house were stunning and she was on top of all aspects of the showing and online communication with potential buyers. We sold that house for top dollar after one weekend of being on the market. I then asked her to represent me in the purchase of my new home. She was responsive and patient which made me feel so comfortable going through this process. I highly recommend Dorthe Havmoeller to anyone looking for a real estate agent. You will be glad you did.

We have sold five house in our 37 years of marriage and our experience with Dorthe was by far the best experience with a realtor! Her experience, knowledge of the market and professionalism is beyond compare. We are so happy to have had her on our side during this sale. A truly wonderful experience compared to all other sales!

In 2007 we moved to The Palisades and built our retirement dream home. Fourteen years later we decided to downsize and move. Finding the best realtor was very important. Dorthe came highly recommended and we were very impressed with her marketing and pricing strategies. The recommendations Dorthe provided to stage and market our home were outstanding and we trusted her advice completely. Dorthe always responded promptly to our calls and concerns and presented us with options and solutions that were in our best interest. We highly recommend Dorthe.

Dorthe did a great job with helping us buy and sell. I will and have recommended her to other potential clients.

From the moment we met Dorthe, we knew she was who we wanted to sell our home. Her experience was obvious as she handled every aspect with efficiency and professionalism. We were so pleased with the photos of our home and and how Dorthe had it advertised. As a result, she brought us more than one, over asking offer before our home even hit the market. We would highly recommend Dorthe to anyone looking for a Realtor.

My experience was very pleasant with Dorthe. She really works together with you harmoniously; to get you what you want. It seems obvious but it is a skill she possess not to be pushy and actually be able to work with the client. She was also very accommodating with my family as well; which made our experience even more pleasant.

Dorthe was a tremendous help in selling our home in Morningside, Palisades. Her comprehensive knowledge of our local market was the key to a successful sale. Dorthe made the entire process of readying, listing, and closing the sale of our home as easy as possible. She was always by our side or available at a moment's notice to answer questions and provide information and worked diligently with agents of prospective buyers to ensure a successful sale. We could not be happier with Dorthe's professionalism and customer service. We highly recommend her to folks looking to sell and buy in our area.

Dorthe Havmoeller was not my agent but was the sellers. We came without and agent and Dorthe was very knowledgeable about the area and with all our questions.

From the beginning Dorthe was instrumental in assisting our family on our long journey across the country to our new home in Charlotte, NC. She communicated regularly before we arrived and once here. She provided us the newest listings that met our needs and gave us detailed information about the area. Dorthe facilitated us getting temporary housing and was very proactive in helping us narrow down our choices. In the end she helped us find a wonderful home in a wonderful community and negotiated the best price possible.

She was always available to answer our questions and her response time was immediate. If you are considering selling your home, don't hesitate calling Dorthe to guide you through the process. No one knows The Palisades market like her.

There are twenty-five other realtors listed on the Allen-Tate website. If any of them are better than Dorthe I would be shocked. Dorthe is the total package, professional, knowledgable, organized, responsive, calm, decisive, and an absolute pleasure to work with personally. She also has great contacts such as a very skillful handyman, movers, photographer, etc., should the need arise. It's no surprise to us that Dorthe receives multiple Performance Recognition Awards annually.

We were hesitant to put our home on the market due to some past experience. We found working with Ann-Dorthe with Allen Tate to be an unexpected delight. We received suggestions and advice that were instrumental in accepting an offer the first day we put our home on the market. The sale finalized a month after we started working with Ann-Dorthe.

A 10 Star review for a 10 Star Agent!

Dorthe was wonderful to work with. She was very professional, responsive and helpful. We had to get our home on the market quickly as we were relocating. Dorthe was very helpful in making recommendations for staging and for giving recommendations for contractors to do touch up painting and cleaning. Our house was under contract in 3 weeks. Dorthe also recommended movers to assist with packing of boxes and loading our truck. We needed to move while our house was under contract but before the closing of the property. Dorthe was very helpful in facilitating communication between the buyers realtor and us throughout the entire process. Following the inspection, Dorthe assisted us in letting contractors in to do repair work and to follow-up on the repairs. Additionally, Dorthe would check to see if we had any mail that the post office did not forward and mailed it to us on several occasions. Dorthe facilitated the communication between the closing attorney and us as we were out of town. We are so grateful for all of Dorthe's help throughout this entire process and would highly recommend her for your real estate needs.

Absolutely the best...period.

We cannot thank Dorthe enough for all of her time that she spent with us before, during and after the sale of our home. She was always available to turn on light, pick up mail, and anything else we needed, while we were out of town, to prepare the house for showings. We appreciate the value that she brought to the whole experience. She was easy to get a hold of and always responded right away to our questions and concerns.
