Serving Mooresville, Lake Norman and the Charlotte region

A family helping families build wealth.

FK & Associates is a family-owned real estate and contracting firm. We find the property, estimate and manage the renovation, line up the financing, and list it when it's done. One team from start to finish.

Who we work with

Multi-unit buyersDuplexes to fourplexes with low-down-payment FHA or conventional loans.
First-time homeownersRenters ready to stop paying someone else's mortgage.
HomeownersLicensed renovation and repair work on your own property.

Agents and contractors under one roof.

Most buyers juggle an agent, a contractor, a lender and a listing agent who never talk to each other. We handle all of it, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Buying & selling

Licensed agents representing buyers and sellers across a 12-county Charlotte–Lake Norman corridor, with a focus on residential and multi-unit investment property.

Renovation & contracting

Our general contractor license means repair estimates come from the people who will actually do the work, and we manage the job through to completion.

Financing coordination

We arrange hard money financing for investment projects and handle the lender documentation, and we help owner-occupants use FHA and conventional options.

Multi-unit investing

Live in one unit and rent the others. We help buyers get into duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes with a low down payment, so tenants help cover the mortgage.

One team, from first showing to final listing.

Bring us your goals and your budget. We run the whole project and keep you updated at every step.
