We are very pleased with the services provided by NextHome and Bobby Downey! He and his team skillfully guided us through each phase of the process and we couldn't be more happy with the results. Their knowledge of the real estate market in Charlotte is unsurpassed.
From the listing, staging, marketing, photos & videos through Open house and negotiating offers, their advice and service was spot on and truly appreciated.
I highly recommend their service and wish them well in the future.

I have purchased 2 homes and sold one with Bobby and Jayme. I will never use another realtor team as long as they are in business. Incredibly friendly, responsive, and professional. They make every part of the process easy, and are always looking out for the best interest of their clients. I have used other realtors and the difference is striking.

Bobby, Jayme and Jackie were so great. From start to (almost) finish. They were our buying and our listing agents! We, like a lot of people, have been looking for our next house for quite a while. I would throw in the towel and get frustrated and when I would come back, they were always kind and accommodating. They showed us houses with potential and houses that were move in ready and everything in between until we eventually found our new home. It's an emotional (for me anyway) and stressful process but Jayme was always there to help us through and Bobby never stopped working to get everything just right for us. They protected us and looked out of our interests and never let us down. Jackie kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes once we were under contract. It's been a long road and I am so glad they were by our side the whole way.

I have used Downey Properties for numerous purchases with great success. I recently separated and I needed to find a home that checked all the boxes that would be a perfect fit for me and my children. They helped me with pre-qualification and negotiations as well as all the closing details that can be very overwhelming. They are experts on the Charlotte market and will make the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I will continue to use Downey properties for all my future purchases.

Bobby was always available to get into a home for us to see, literally some being an hour away and traveling for hours in a day. He went over and above on all aspects, helpful that he has you rate the homes as you see them and giving honest opinions for your “want/need” list! His knowledge is astounding! Definitely recommend, Bobby will find your home!

This was the BEST real estate interaction I have ever participated in. Bobby did everything to prepare my house for sale....organized all of the painting, staging, cleaning....EVERYTHING!! I basically went on vacation for 7 days and came back to a house that WAS SOLD! And for above asking price. Then Bobby drove us all around Charlotte , found us a house, used his excellent negotiating skills and got us that house. Bobby is a wealth of information and a fantastic realtor. I would recommend him to anyone...and everyone. A great experience!

Bobby and Jayme were absolutely wonderful to work with. We are first time homebuyers, and Bobby made sure we were completely comfortable and never had an unanswered question. They both were easy to contact, easy to work with, and just delightful people all around. I've already recommended them to friends, and I will continue to! I know that when we are ready to buy again, we will look to them. Thank you both!

I'm happy to know Bobby even though I've never met him in person! He successfully sold our home after we had relocated three states away to a different climate. Through strategic phone conversations and Bobby's knowledge of the local real estate market our home got SOLD. We are pleased with the price and the relationship we had with Bobby.

Bobby and his real estate team have been great to work with. I recently purchased a home and they coordinated all the many items involved for me.

Bobby and Jayme absolutely saved the day! We listed with a national realtor agency to save some money and well that was a huge mistake. We had no movement for 5 months. I was referred to Bobby from a good friend and he came right over. Took a look at my home and said he can sell it. Well, Bobby and Jayme stepped in and sold my home in 2 months. The marketing and dedication to selling my home was unmatch. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for great experience and stressless process to selling your home. Thank you Bobby and Jayme!

Looking to buy your next home or sell your current home? Look no further than Bobby and Jayme! Seriously - we would give more stars than five stars if the rating system went that high! Buying a home can be daunting but from the beginning of the process, Bobby was more than helpful! His “dating style” approach to touring homes makes it quick and easy to narrow down what house and/or neighborhood you see yourself living in. Both Bobby and Jayme were constantly available to answer any of our questions. Bobby even added in a few extra homes as a surprise on tour days. Bobby was also great to key in on things that were important to both my husband and I so that we each found the exact home to match our individual wants and needs. Plus, he was very honest when answering all our questions. Concerned the kitchen won’t serve the way your family functions? Ask Bobby! Worried about the amount of storage space? Ask Bobby! Wondering how a home would fit your growing or empty nest family? Ask Bobby! After making an offer on a home, Jayme then took the reins and made sure that we were simultaneously organized going forward with the sale of one home and purchasing our dream home. We quickly learned that buying and selling homes is a full-time job and thanks to Jayme, we were able to continue focusing on our daily lives without having to worry about the sale and purchase of homes thanks to her constant communication and superior organizational skills. Bobby and Jayme are the home buying dream team! If we ever decide to move from the dream house they helped us locate, Bobby and Jayme will be our first call!

We absolutely loved working with Bobby and his wife Jayme. They are very patient and will give feedback to help you achieve your final decisions on any property you look at. Very down to earth and easy to work with. Grateful to have worked with them in every step of the process. Highly recommend to anybody looking for their new home.

Bobby Downey was an exceptional realtor. We were introduced to him by our niece. He went above and beyond what we were expecting. He kept us informed daily of houses that met our criteria. This was especially difficult as we were not local. He found us the perfect home for our needs.
I especially enjoyed his humor during our rides around the Charlotte area.
?? We highly recommend him and the entire staff at Downey Properties.
I would like to give a special thank you to Jackie Mistretta and Jayme Downey for all they did to assist us with the buying process.

Bobby and his team are outstanding! He learned about our family and what we needed in a new home, and helped us through the entire process! He gave excellent advice and tried to alleviate stress on us wherever possible. He was a fierce advocate and made sure our interests were protected throughout the transaction. We won't be moving again any time soon since we just bought our dream house, but if we do ever look for another house he will be the first person we call!

I cannot put into words the amount of help and dedication Bobby and his team put in to get my house sold. I do not live in Charlotte anymore and have never met him in person but that did not stop him from getting my house in the market and sold. He took my list of repairs and maintenance needed for my home and got it done. My house was on the market within and week and under contract 24 hours later. He communicated with me every step of the way and broke things down for me if I didn’t understand. I was able to close two weeks later and could not be happier! Thank you and your team again, Bobby!

Bobby and Jayme at Downey Properties have been an absolute amazing team to work with. My wife and I have what some might call real estate ADD. We tend to buy and sell houses much quicker than most. In the last 4 years or so we have been at the table through 5 transactions. No matter what side of the table we were on, whether it be buying or selling, the team at Downey Properties has been phenomenal! We cannot thank them enough for all they have done. I actually think this last house in December of 2020 will be one we choose to stay at for quite some time. That is unfortunate in that we won’t get to work with them for a bit. However, they have become great friends over the past few years. The service I am describing is also like Chick-fil-a in that it is consistent every single time no matter the customer. We have recommended several friends and colleagues who have had wonderful experiences, and continue to go back to Downey Properties as well! We love the way they do business, and refuse to use anyone else.

Bobby was a wonderful asset to us throughout the home buying process. He was very informitive and involved which was extremly helpful to us as first home buyers.

The Downey’s provided much more than just helping us sell our house. They made us feel comfortable and not pressured in any way. They made us feel they were going to work their hardest to get us what we were hoping for and showed us how much they cared throughout the entire process. We also had fun and a lot of laughs! We really appreciate and are so grateful that we got to work with them! Thank you Jayme and Bobby!

Bobby and Jayme are nothing short of AMAZING!!!! My husband and I used them to buy our first home, sell it a few years later for a huge profit, and now we are just 3 days away from moving into our dream forever home!!!!! Bobby showed us countless houses, he was always available and willing to go see something at the drop of a hat. Jayme was a rockstar at negotiating repairs and making sure we were getting a great house. They had answers for all our questions and fought to the end for us on everything!!!! We are so thankful to have this team, especially with everything going on in the world right now. Bobby and Jayme will not disappoint and we are forever grateful!!!!

From day one of meeting Bobby we were in good hands. He and wife Jayme are tremendously competent in real estate transactions, the Charlotte market and have very skilled and courteous staff. Every phase of the process: staging, photography, marketing, competitive pricing, etc. they did a super job. Then they manage a very hectic open-house weekend with over 100 visitors, all during the covid pandemic. They received and organized all of the offers (>20) and helped us select a qualified buyer.
They coached us in so many ways and are such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend their services as they are the best in town.

We made a very difficult decision to sell a family property and from the onset we knew Bobby and Jayme were the perfect team for the task. Not only did they understand the emotion behind the sale but were the ideal mix of professionalism and personalization that we needed. Their communication was top notch. We can't recommend and thank them enough for making a difficult situation quick, gentle and smooth. If you are looking to sell or buy a property, these are your people!

This was our first time buying a home. Bobby and his team held our hand when needed and helped us through every step of the process thoroughly explaining any questions we had along the way. They made the entire process much less painful than I ever expected it to be. We will definitely use them again when the time comes!

I recently sold my house in New Jersey and relocated to Charlotte. The process was a nightmare and my selling agent made me feel as if I was working for him! When it was time to put my husband's house on the market it was a breath of fresh air to work with the Downey Properties Team. The detail to attention, clear communication and the team members made every step of this process effortless and stress free. Our house sold above asking before ever hitting the market! Thank you to Bobby, Jayme and their entire team for such a great experience.

Working with Downey properties was a breeze and very enjoyable. Bobby Downey was very helpful during our first home buying experience. He was always available, gave us good advise, and the most important a joy to be around.

Downey Properties has done an outstanding job for me over the years, including the purchase of two houses and the sale of one house. Bobby goes well above and beyond for his clients, successfully negotiating purchase prices below asking and selling my last house well above asking price. He took the time to help facilitate all of the updates and changes needed to get top dollar for my home, and spent endless hours driving me around until I found the place I wanted to purchase. I can't recommend Downey Properties enough!

A true professional from start to finish. We had several setbacks during the sales process which were out of our control. Bobby kept us updated, and we were able to navigate through the rough spots. I would definitely recommend Bobby and his team (shoutout Jackie and Jamie 😉) for all of your residential real estate needs...great job!

We greatly appreciated Bobby’s attention to our needs. He was very patient and provided extensive knowledge that allowed us to enjoy the easiest home selling process we’ve experienced to date. We highly recommend his services to others looking to sell their home.

Our experience with Bobby and Jayme was amazing. They always made sure to communicate with us and always put our needs first. Not once did they make us feel like we were asking for too much or that we were a burden to them. on the contrary they always made us feel comfortable when expressing our concerns. If you are looking for a relationship with your realtor that is more on a personal level and are looking for someone who genuinely cares about your interest then I recommend them. They are the best team.

Without Bobby I don't know how we would have pulled off this move. He helped us get our house ready to sell, told us exactly what to do to get the job done fast, and got us a great price fast.

Bobby was an absolutely stellar realtor and I would highly recommend. First, Bobby helped us find our dream home and was extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and regions were interested in. Second, Bobby was instrumental in getting the closing done, even with a very short turnaround timeline due to the seller trying to coordinate a second closing as well.

Bobby Downey went above and beyond the call of duty to help us find just the right second home. We had many requirements. In a time of quarantine, he found ways for us to do business electronically. Our closing was simple, and he is still helping us locate tradesmen to make sure our home is pristine perfection before we move in! Many thank, Bobby and Jayme Downey!

Downey Properties provided us with exceptional Service, particularly because we were coming in from out of town. Bobby took us to properties in our stated price range, with our amenities preferences and location. The Downey team assisted us in putting together several contracts before we were able to come to terms for the house we finally purchased and guided us through the process of home inspection and repair prior to the sale as well as the final document signing.

Working with Bobby of Downey Properties took the stress out selling my home. He was so easy to work with, and very responsive. Whenever I reached out he was back to me in no time. They were professional, courteous and sold my home in a single weekend! Thank you Downey Properties!

About Bobby Downey
Bobby Downey | Broker-Owner, NextHome Paramount | Owner, Pillar Home LoansBorn and raised in Charlotte, NC, Bobby Downey has spent his entire career doing one thing: helping people make smarter moves — financially and physically. He started in the mortgage industry, spending 12 years as a loan officer where he built an unmatched understanding of how lending works from the inside out. That foundation gave him something most real estate agents never have: the ability to see a transaction from both sides of the table before he ever listed a home.
After more than a decade in mortgage, Bobby transitioned to real estate sales — and never looked back. Twelve years later, he's one of the most trusted names in the Carolinas market. Alongside his wife and business partner Jayme, Bobby co-founded NextHome Paramount in 2018, a boutique brokerage that quickly rose to rank in the top 1% by volume in the Canopy MLS among nearly 3,000 brokerages. As Broker-Owner, he leads by example — remaining an active, producing agent while building the infrastructure that helps other agents thrive.
Bobby also serves as Owner of Pillar Home Loans, where his mortgage roots run deep. His dual expertise in lending and real estate makes him a rare advisor — someone who doesn't just help you find the right home, but helps you navigate the full financial picture with clarity and confidence.
What sets Bobby apart isn't just the credentials. It's how he shows up. Clients describe him as a fierce advocate, a calm presence in stressful moments, and someone who goes well above and beyond — whether that means coordinating repairs, negotiating through a tough bidding war, or simply being the kind of person you trust with one of the biggest decisions of your life.
Consistently recognized as one of the top-producing agents in Charlotte, NC, Bobby has earned a reputation as the go-to REALTOR® for buyers and sellers across South Charlotte — including SouthPark, Ballantyne, Matthews, Weddington, Waxhaw, Lake Wylie, and the surrounding communities. Clients routinely call him the best real estate agent in Charlotte, and with 59+ five-star recommendations and a track record of homes sold above asking price, the results speak for themselves. Whether you're buying your first home, upsizing, right-sizing, or relocating to the Charlotte area, Bobby brings the market knowledge, negotiation skills, and personal commitment to make it happen.
When he's not at a listing appointment or working a deal, you'll find Bobby coaching his boys, fishing, or somewhere in the stands cheering — probably in Steelers gear. He's a devoted husband and father of two, a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and someone who genuinely believes that real estate isn't just a job. It's a calling.
Charlotte born. Carolinas focused. 24 years in the business. Zero shortcuts.
