Peters & Associates · Since 2002
Charlotte Luxury Real Estate.
Two respected approaches to representation. A personal choice.
Victoria Mitchener is a Realtor with Dickens Mitchener (Charlotte, NC). Vicky Mitchener is the founder of a Charlotte real estate firm who focuses on integrating technology and marketing to simplify the buying and selling process for her clients (Dickens Mitchener).
Nicholas and Miriam Peters are the founders and only Realtors of Peters & Associates, Inc., an independently owned firm. Clients work directly with both founders — and, when they choose, connect their purchase or sale to the founders' construction, interior design, furnishing and home technology businesses.
Victoria Mitchener is a Dickens Mitchener agent whose own website promotes: Over 30 years of experience; Technology-focused approach; Innovative marketing concepts; Community involvement. Nicholas and Miriam Peters work as a founder pair, personally handling every client, with optional, separately contracted construction, design and furnishing through their related home businesses. Both provide professional representation; the difference is how the work is structured.

Peters & Associates, Inc., Peters Custom Homes, Emerald & Oak Design and Peters Audio Video are separate businesses. Construction, design, furnishing and technology services are optional, separately contracted and separately priced — they are not included in a brokerage commission. Construction guidance during a purchase does not replace inspections, engineering, surveys, permitting review or formal estimates.
Victoria Mitchener may appeal to clients who value over 30 years of experience and the resources of Dickens Mitchener.
Nicholas and Miriam Peters may appeal to clients who want both founders personally involved and coordinated help with the home itself — renovation, interiors and furnishing — alongside the purchase or sale. Both are strong choices; they simply work differently.
