Marcus Dilley SPS and 6X ICON Agent

Principal and Founder of Carolinas Realty Group LLC - We provide all facets of premier real estate services hyper-locally, nationally, and globally through over 200 of the most dynamic and modern agents on the planet.

This one honestly leaves me floored.
Humbled.
Grateful.
And fired up for what's coming.

Mark and I launched The Signature Group this year. Brand new. Nobody knew what to expect. No momentum to borrow from. No legacy to lean on. Just a vision in our hearts and a team of people who were willing to bet on excellence and give everything they had to build something special.

And today we found out that The Signature Group has already ranked in the Top 10 teams for 2025 in the Ballantyne office.

In our first year together.

That only happens because of the people who show up every single day with heart, skill, consistency, and faithfulness.

To our agents.
Your courage. Your commitment. Your belief in the mission. Your willingness to grow. Your fight. Your professionalism. Your trust. All of it is the reason we are celebrating right now. None of this happens without you.

To our clients.
You put your biggest financial decisions in our hands and you allow us to serve you at a level that honors your trust. That means more than you know.

To our partners and my family.
Thank you for supporting the vision and pushing us to lead from a place of excellence, integrity, and heart.

And to everyone cheering us on.
This is only the beginning. We are just getting warmed up. If this is what happens in year one, I can't wait to see what God allows us to build together in 2026 and beyond.

The Signature Group is here.
And we're only going up from here.

🔥 South Charlotte stunner just dropped
White-oak floors.. Calacatta-style kitchen.. spa-level primary suite.. resort pool.. outdoor kitchen.. game room with a balcony.. everything flexes.
If you want a home that feels custom and unforgettable.. this is it.
📍 2624 Ladley Ct
💰 1.35M
👀 Blink and it’s gone.

There is something special happening on our team right now.. and it’s bigger than real estate.

Every week our Friday Zoom calls feel less like a meeting and more like a tribe being built in real time. 

People showing up. 

Growing. 

Training. 

Celebrating win after win after win. 

Not just production.. but confidence.. clarity.. connection.. the kind of growth that actually sticks.

We have agents pouring into each other, learning together, sharing openly, and pushing toward the next level side by side. 

It feels holistic. 

It feels healthy. 

It feels like the way this business is supposed to be done.

Our tribe is expanding every day.. and the unity we’re building is the real competitive edge. 

Grateful for this group and everything we’re creating together.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but..

You GOTTA see this new listing. Congrats to the lucky buyers that snag this one!

When I say I’m fired up about this one.. I mean it 🔥

2624 Ladley Court is a whole mood. 

A true blend of architectural grace and modern indulgence tucked into one of Charlotte’s most beautiful neighborhoods. From the Calacatta Laza–clad chef’s kitchen to the spa-inspired primary retreat, every inch of this home feels intentional, elevated, and timeless.

Then you step outside.. and it’s game over. Salt-water pool, travertine decking, outdoor kitchen, gazebo lounge with double fireplaces. It’s basically a private resort hiding in plain sight.

Olde Providence South has always had that understated luxury energy, and this one captures it perfectly.

Can’t wait to share MORE of this masterpiece with you all. 👏🏽

Some weeks change you more than you realize. The eXp Convention in Miami did that for us.

Ashley and I came home.. and immediately hit the ground running. It’s been a busy and really good stretch.. but I’ve been wanting to share this because that week genuinely shifted something in us.

We learned a lot. We were surrounded by people we admire. We had conversations that pushed us in all the right ways. And I came back sharper.. more grounded.. and more focused on serving at the highest level for my clients and my team.

There’s something about stepping out of your routine and being around people who are growing on purpose. You absorb it. You feel that stretch. And you come home different.

A month later, I still feel it. Grateful for the people who poured into us. Grateful Ashley could be there with me. Grateful for the reminder that growth is really about stewardship and showing up well for the people who trust you.

Here’s a quick recap of that week. Hope it gives you a small glimpse of what it meant to us.

At Steele Creek last night we had the best Thanksgiving pot luck with our church fam... AND I ran into our ONE fan from our 2010s rock band era! Thanks for representing @marta clarkson

You are not paying a percentage.
You are hiring someone who knows how to protect your equity instead of gambling with it.

You are hiring:

Pricing precision
Negotiation pressure
Marketing reach
Inspection and appraisal management
A real buyer network
Contract experience that prevents disasters

But sure.. save that 3 percent.

Let us run the actual numbers.. 

Scenario A The Pro (6%)

List Price 700000 (based on data.. not emotions)
Launch pro photos, targeted ads, pre launch buzz, staging tweaks
Activity 18 showings in 3 days
Offers 3 offers, competitive

Final Contract Price 721000 (because the pro knew how to create demand)

Inspection agent saves you 9000 in requested repairs
Appraisal agent successfully defends value with a full report (buyer keeps full price)

Timeline 27 days to closing
Carrying Costs 0 surprise costs because it moved fast

Your Net Scenario A

Sale price 721000
Minus 6 percent commission 43260

Total Net 677740

Solid. Clean. Protected.

Scenario B The Discount Agent (3%)

This is where people lose money without even realizing it.

List Price 725000 (because that is what you wanted to hear)
Launch iPhone photos, no staging help, weak MLS description
Activity 4 showings in 18 days
Feedback overpriced and poorly presented

First price drop 705000
Second price drop 689000

Final offer 675000 (low buyer leverage because the home has been sitting)

Inspection buyer requests 15000 in repairs
Discount agent shrugs and says you probably just need to do it

Appraisal comes in at 665000
Agent does not know how to appeal.. so you eat the 10000 difference

Timeline 64 days on market
Carrying Costs 3800 (interest, utilities, taxes, HOA, insurance)

Your Net Scenario B

Sale price after appraisal hit 665000
Minus 3 percent commission 19950
Minus inspection repairs 15000
Minus carrying costs 3800

Total Net 626250

You did not save 3 percent.
You lost 51490.

This is not theoretical folks. 

People will research a 1200 dollar TV for months..
And then hire the cheapest agent they can find to sell a 700000 dollar home.

Make it make sense Karen.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us, to all of you.

Faith, a $600 Start, and the Corvette That Changed Everything: My Blueprint for Resilience in Real Estate. I'm sharing the story of my biggest redirection: starting over at 55 with only about $600 and a fierce belief that my best chapter was ahead.
For any Realtor struggling with their endgame, fearing a career setback, or looking for a model that provides true financial freedom, this is for you. I was fired as a top listing agent for questioning integrity, but that "sucker punch" led me to the eXp Realty platform, finding the hope I needed for my future at 67.
My entire journey, from a '65 Corvette to becoming a Waterfront Specialist to building a global organization across 11 states and 2 countries, is about turning fear into fuel.
I want to empower you with the full strategy behind my success.

Read the Full Article below, including the specific details of the Corvette hustle, the shift from Sellstate to my global organization, and the financial structure that gave me hope.

Here we grow again with power player after power player. No pun intended… this is exactly why agents owe it to themselves to explore eXp Realty firsthand rather than relying on outdated assumptions or someone else’s opinion. The opportunity is real.
Today, we’re welcoming another powerhouse team: The Petti Group - the mother-son duo Tanya and Niki Petti, known across Ontario for discipline, trust, and top-tier service.

Global wealth isn’t drifting. It’s moving with purpose. And as we enter 2026, there are only a handful of places where the world’s most successful people are choosing to place their money, their families, and their futures.
If you understand these patterns, you’ll see opportunities long before the market reacts.
For anyone buying, selling, or advising high-net-worth clients, this matters. The flow of capital is shifting toward markets that offer stability, lifestyle, culture, education, and long-term value. And that shift is reshaping Europe, the Middle East, and key lifestyle destinations around the world.
This month’s newsletter breaks down the real drivers behind the global wealth movement in 2026 and highlights where the most strategic buyers are positioning themselves next.
I also included a curated sample of properties now available in Portugal, one of the strongest lifestyle-driven markets in Europe.
If you want a clearer view of where global luxury demand is heading and what that means for your next step, start with this issue.

Where Global Wealth Is Moving in 2026 and Why It Matters for Buyers, Sellers & Agents

Overcoming Fear: Lessons from the Race Track. When Tony Robbins first learned to race cars, his instructor told him, “Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.” Sounds simple until you’re spinning at 120 mph and your eyes lock on the wall. That’s when instinct fights logic. Fear tries to take the wheel.

The truth?
 
In life and business, you steer where you stare. Focus on the wall, and you’ll crash into it. Focus on the road ahead, and your mind and momentum follow.
Success isn’t about never spinning out. It’s about training your focus, acting despite fear, and turning decisions into commitments… then into resolve.

There’s no failure, only feedback, and every turn teaches you how to drive better next time.

What “wall” have you been staring at lately, and what would happen if you turned your focus toward the finish line?

I’m sharing a partner of mines amazing properties. Reach out to either of us for more information.

The coast of Portugal is essentially one long beach. 

There are so many stunning sections. 

For me, a few stand out as the most beautiful. 

Fonte da Telha in Costa de Caparica is one of them. 

The beach is not only gorgeous, the water gets warmer there, noticeably warmer than where I live in Ericeira.

So, it's a real treat to go swimming there without a wetsuit. 

The waves are also good there. 

This house is a five minute walk to that beach, and minutes to 2 pro golf courses. 

If you have clients looking for sunny weather, close proximity to Lisbon, golf, and the beach, this is a lovely home built by the person who is selling it now. 

We are scheduling viewings for tomorrow and this weekend.  

- American style open kitchen
- Radiant heating
- 3 Suites + bedroom and guest kitchenette
- Closed condominium
- 2 Golf courses + fitness center within the condo
- Large underground garage w/ storage
- Solar panels for hot water, w/ connections for power


Call me if you would like pictures or floor plans. Let's collaborate.

Day One of the Tony Robbins AI Advantage Summit blew me away.

Five powerhouse speakers laid out one clear truth, the pace of change is faster than any time in history, and it’s only accelerating.

What I heard today validated everything I’ve been saying:
AI isn’t optional anymore. It’s the new foundation for how we’ll work, think, and create.

This isn’t just about real estate, it’s about every business.
If you want to stay relevant, serve at a higher level, and actually gain back time, this is the moment to lean in.

The tools are already here. The only question is how fast you’ll use them.

If you missed Day One, I can’t encourage you enough to jump into Day 2 and Day 3.
It’s free, and it could completely shift how you see your future. I put the link to today’s replay and how to sign up for the next two days if you want. AI is too important to ignore.

Global wealth isn’t drifting.  It’s moving with intention.

As we step into 2026, only a small handful of markets are capturing the world’s most mobile, high-net-worth buyers… because they deliver one thing everyone wants right now: stability and lifestyle wrapped into long-term value.

If you understand where the money is flowing, you know where the opportunities begin.
These patterns are sharper than ever, and they’re already shaping the next decade of global luxury real estate. The agents and investors paying attention now will be the ones who benefit later.

Lifestyle Is the New Currency of the Wealthy

Tax strategy is no longer the main driver. Lifestyle is.

Long-term value follows where people genuinely want to live.
