McMillan, Psaroudis & Markey PA

McMillan, Psaroudis & Markey PA is a residential and commercial real estate firm with three locations in the Charlotte area. The firm works with a variety of clients, including developers executing large land projects, buyers closing on their homes, hotels, gas stations, and other businesses purchasing land or buildings, and more. Together, partners Ralph R. McMillan, Michelle C. Psaroudis, John C. Markey II, William T. Wallace, and Bryan C. Lawrence have a collective 88 years of experience in the real estate industry. This breadth of experience makes the firm a great choice for anyone closing on land or a home, and also an excellent resource for agents looking for advice on behalf of their clients and transactions.

While this experience gives them the knowledge many of their clients seek, it is their accessibility and customer care that they believe sets their firm apart from others. John shared, “Our cell phone numbers are on our business cards because we know our clients’ business does not stop at 5:00 PM when our offices close. We encourage them to call us so we can help or answer any questions as they arise.”

McMillan, Psaroudis & Markey PA began in 1995 and has maintained an office in the SouthPark area since then. They added offices in Huntersville and South Tryon through the years. Their strong foundation has seen them through downturns in the market, with the business rebounding each time to come back stronger.  

The COVID-19 pandemic presented the firm with a surprising boom in their residential business. Many people chose to relocate to the Carolinas during this time from larger cities in the northeast. Their clients cited better livability in Charlotte, more affordable real estate, and the luxury employers offered to “work from anywhere” during the pandemic.

Michelle knows that the firm was fortunate not only to ride out the uncertainties of the pandemic, but to flourish. “We have the best staff we’ve ever had. Overall, our team is very experienced and conscientious. We believe each person on our team contributes to our overall success.” Another reason that the firm fared well during the pandemic is because they have diversified their income streams. The market will always ebb and flow, but with their wise planning, the firm remains financially healthy with the ever-changing market. 

McMillan, Psaroudis & Markey PA has a strong relationship with TowneBank. John says that TowneBank’s accessibility greatly impacts their firm. “The ability to quickly get a bank contact on the phone to help when we run into an issue makes a huge difference in our business. 

The immediate response and immediate access is invaluable, both from a customer service perspective and a financial perspective.”

In addition to their appreciation for TowneBank’s problem solving skills, the firm also praises the proactive customer service. Michelle says, “Melanie Robinson and Nerissa Smith have popped in to get scanners running or to help with any questions. Also, the platforms are so user friendly with such a high level of security.” Having a hands-on banking relationship has helped the first stay nimble as business needs have changed.

McMillan, Psaroudis & Markey PA looks forward to serving the needs of those seeking expertise in real estate law for years to come. For more information, visit MPLawCarolinas.com.
