Kirk Hanson

Kirk Hanson has been involved with investment real estate since 1999 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina where Concord NC has been deemed the seventh fastest growing city in America. I was a finance manager at a local auto dealership when I was told I was working too hard and making too much money for this small town. So I cut back to 40 hours a week at the dealership and decided I would buy some rental houses to subsidize my income. The first step into it, my wife and I purchased 30 houses over 18 months with little to no guidance whatsoever. The Realtor we used just wanted his 3% and could care less what I bought or what part of town it was in. He never helped me flip one of those bad deals. Years later we finally rid ourselves of that mess and I got into real estate full time with a goal to do my best to see nobody else gets put in that same situation. Our business is focused on investor sales, flip houses and rental. When I recommend a purchase, it comes with the “out” strategy with either a flip or rental. I have a couple of small crews to make minor repairs up to complete rehabs. When CK Select manages a rehab, we will charge a project management fee based on the size of the project. We currently manage 70+ rental properties and only one of those is a failed flip. (The flip failed because the owner did not rehab the property to my specifications. He paid $40k for the house and it leases for $1,089 per month). We currently subscribe to two multiple listing services in the Charlotte market. One is known primarily for its residential value with some commercial listings; the other is a commercial MLS. We have listed and sold properties for several institutions such as First Bank, First Preston Management (BOA) and Fannie Mae. Our business model focusses and attracts investors nationwide. Our current clients that we have a day to day relationship with are located in Mexico, Canada, Spain, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, Cleveland, Myrtle Beach, Dallas TX, and of course in the Charlotte, NC market as well. We advertise heavy on the internet which attracts the out of state buyers and sellers. One service we use is www.Listhub.com which displays our listings on over 900 local and national websites.
