Josh Dearing

Josh Dearing, Founder Agent NC and co-leader of The Dearing Team, is one of the most dependable and successful real estate brokers in North Carolina. He has earned numerous industry accolades and consistently helps sellers achieve record-setting prices. A tar heel native who combines top-tier professionalism with boundless enthusiasm and down-to-earth sensibilities, Josh’s extensive industry knowledge, world-class marketing expertise, and service-first approach instill his clients with confidence and poise as they navigate the buying and selling process.

Working with Josh is like working with family. He is gregarious, attentive, and warm, and he always goes above and beyond to accomplish his clients’ goals. He vividly remembers what it’s like to start over from scratch and can relate to those who have had to overcome challenges while chasing their dreams. He transitioned to real estate after twelve years in the corporate world, many of which were spent managing multi-million-dollar sales portfolios and developing innovative marketing strategies that targeted domestic and international audiences. He leverages that experience when selling homes, ensuring maximum reach and exposure for his clients’ properties.

Since launching his real estate career in 2007, Josh’s awards and recognitions include Top Agent, Five Star Professional, Top Producer of Charlotte Real Producers, America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents, Lake Norman Who’s Who, Cover feature of Lake Norman Woman’s Magazine, Rookie of the Year, and Pro Ambassador of “Sell It Like Serhant.” He also earned his place in the Executive Club, 100% Club, Platinum Club, and Chairman’s Club at his previous brokerage.

Josh founded The Dearing Team with his wife and business partner, Charlene. In a few short years, The Dearing Team established itself as an elite real estate group that continues to set new standards of excellence for buyers and sellers throughout the Carolinas. A reflection of its leaders, the team provides exceptional real estate experiences and uses its platform to positively impact the lives of its clients and their families. They also have strong relationships with builders and developers whom they regularly partner with to market and sell single-family homes, new-build communities, and multi-unit residential projects. 

Raised in Lake Norman, Josh knows North Carolina better than anyone. He loves meeting new people and hearing their stories. He’s also committed to giving back to the community. In addition to hosting an annual Halloween party to raise funds for charities in Charlotte, Josh partners with non-profits like Families Forward, The Pink House, and Show Up Charlotte Volunteering.

In his spare time, Josh enjoys exploring new cultures with Charlene and spending time with their three incredible dogs: Lincoln, a Great Dane; Gracie Blu, a Silver Lab; and Oakleigh, a Great Dane/Lab mix they rescued on a listing appointment.
