Our Proven Results Speak for Themselves

While the average Charlotte home sits on the market for 51 days, Finigan Group listings average just 8 days on market— and sell for 99.63% of list price. Those aren’t estimates; they’re verified performance stats achieved through The Finigan Group’s proprietary TFG Proven Process and 200-point marketing strategy that reaches qualified buyers locally, nationally, and globally.

Our results are driven by a deep understanding of Charlotte’s dynamic submarkets — from the luxury estates of Ballantyne and SouthPark, to historic homes in Matthews and Waxhaw, to waterfront properties around Lake Norman, Cornelius, and Davidson. Wherever your home is, our strategies are tailored, tested, and proven to deliver record-breaking outcomes.

The Finigan Difference: Strategy, Precision, and Partnership

At The Finigan Group, we believe selling a home isn’t about luck — it’s about strategy.

  • Targeted digital advertising and social media campaigns that generate thousands of qualified impressions within days.

  • Ongoing performance analytics and buyer feedback loops so you’re always informed.

Every listing receives a custom marketing plan built around your home’s strengths — not a cookie-cutter MLS post. This commitment to precision is what keeps our clients coming back and referring their friends and family year after year.

The Finigan Group Marketing Strategy:

We Make Your Listing Famous

Josh Finigan is not just a real estate professional — he’s a market disruptor who has transformed the traditional sales process into a data-driven, AI-enhanced, and client-centered experience. As the founder and leader of The Finigan Group, powered by eXp Realty, Josh has built a brand synonymous with innovation, speed, and maximum profit for homeowners across the Carolinas.

Where most agents rely on outdated methods and one-size-fits-all templates, The Finigan Group delivers a proven and repeatable system that sells homes faster, for more money, and with zero hassle

A Proven System That Outperforms the Industry

While the average agent in the Charlotte market lists, waits, and hopes, The Finigan Group executes a precision-marketed campaign — built from more than 200 individual steps, engineered to control every variable of your home sale.

Our system isn’t a “plan.” It’s a predictive, data-backed performance model proven to produce faster sales, higher offers, and smoother closings.

Our Process: The 200 Steps That Power Every Success Story

1. Research, Strategy & Positioning

Before a single photo is taken, our marketing team dives deep into the analytics:

  • Complete tax, title, and zoning verification — eliminating potential legal delays before launch.

  • Market absorption studies and trend analysis to identify your property’s strategic pricing lane.

  • Customized Equity Evaluation Report — combining historical data, current comps, and future projections to identify the “maximum price threshold.”

  • Micro-neighborhood analysis to predict buyer demographics and search intent.

  • Timing and launch strategy built around peak digital traffic patterns.

Every move from this point on is driven by data, not guesses.

2. Design, Preparation & Visual Impact

Once strategy is locked, our production phase begins:

  • Professional staging consultations with interior designers to optimize layout and flow.

  • 70-point pre-listing checklist ensuring every light, angle, and detail photographs perfectly.

  • HDTV-quality video production, filmed by our in-house videographer using cinematic techniques and lifestyle storytelling.

  • Drone photography that highlights acreage, elevation, and community appeal.

  • 3D Matterport tours — turning your property into a 24/7 digital open house available worldwide.

  • Custom brochure and print design to reinforce high-end branding at every touchpoint.

By the time your listing hits the market, it’s not just “ready” — it’s unforgettable.

3. Digital Domination & AI-Enhanced Targeting

This is where our system separates from everyone else. We combine human expertise with machine intelligence to drive visibility that most agents can’t even measure:

  • AI-powered keyword targeting identifies buyer intent from Google search, social data, and relocation trends.

  • Predictive retargeting follows potential buyers across their devices after they’ve engaged with your listing video or webpage.

  • YouTube ad integration — each HGTV-style video is repurposed into segmented ad campaigns that convert browsers into showings.

  • Google PPC + Meta Pixel tracking ensures our ads appear in front of high-intent relocation buyers before they’ve even reached Zillow.

  • 24/7 syndication across more than 10,000 online platforms, including MLS, Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, Homes.com, and international luxury portals.

  • AI-driven CRM automation monitors buyer engagement and notifies our agents the moment a qualified lead interacts with your property.

This level of tracking and targeting turns casual views into active conversations — and active conversations into offers.

4. Buyer Magnet Systems

Once your listing is live, our systems go into overdrive.

  • “Buyer-in-Waiting” database: Every new listing is immediately matched to hundreds of pre-qualified buyers already searching within your price and style range.

  • Daily call prospecting: Our inside sales team spends 20+ hours per week calling targeted lists of buyers and agents.

  • YouTube Lead Engine: 50+ inbound buyer leads monthly from our cinematic property tours — each one pre-screened and tracked in real time.

  • Mega Open House Program: Dozens of directional signs, online countdown marketing, and local broadcast pushes turn open houses into events that feel more like red-carpet premieres.

  • Text-for-Info Yard Signs: Every sign is a 24/7 data-capture device that routes directly to our CRM for instant follow-up.

Every system works in sync to attract attention, drive action, and maintain momentum.

5. The Finigan Luxury Division – Global Exposure Meets White-Glove Execution

Luxury isn’t just a price point. It’s a process.
At The Finigan Group, luxury listings receive international-grade representation through eXp Luxury — the global network built for elite properties and discerning clientele.

White-Glove Service

From private jet coordination to discreet showing arrangements, we deliver true concierge representation. Every detail reflects the sophistication of the homes we represent — and the caliber of clients we serve.

This is the new era of luxury real estate — intelligent, cinematic, and globally connected.

6. Negotiation & Offer Engineering

We don’t “wait for offers” — we create leverage.

  • Pre-showing agent calls generate scarcity and urgency.

  • Reverse-offer strategies proactively re-engage on-the-fence buyers.

  • Pre-appraisal preparation: We provide supporting data packages to appraisers to protect your contract value.

  • Real-time feedback tracking: Our showing system automatically gathers buyer feedback and sentiment, so adjustments are made proactively.

  • 100+ hours of agent training annually — ensuring every member of our team negotiates from strength, not emotion.

Every offer is handled like a chess match — with the sole objective of maximizing your net proceeds.

7. Closing Coordination & Client Advocacy

From contract to close, our in-house operations team takes the wheel.

  • Dedicated transaction coordinator manages all dates, documents, and contingencies.

  • Title, lender, and attorney coordination ensures clean, punctual closings.

  • Home warranty program offered for peace of mind during the listing period.

  • Pre-closing communication checklist keeps you updated every step of the way.
