Tina Pedersen - Qualifying Broker

Tina Pedersen is a seasoned North Carolina Realtor, Broker, and the Qualifying Broker for 1st Choice Properties, Inc., bringing deep structural insight and formal mortgage training to every real estate transaction.
Tina’s passion for the Charlotte region began in 1986 when she arrived for college and never looked back. Years later, while raising her family, she discovered her knack for real estate investment:
“I took a chance and purchased a foreclosure, using Anna Granger as my agent (BIC for 1st Choice Properties, Inc). Within three short months, I resold that home for a profit—and there it all started.”
After successfully acquiring, renovating, and reselling multiple investment properties, transitioning into full-time real estate sales was a natural step. Licensed since 2009, Tina has consistently ranked as a consecutive multi-million dollar producer, earned 5-star client ratings on Zillow, and built a reputation rooted in integrity, diligence, and transparent communication.
Now based in Locust, Tina’s primary market reaches across the central Piedmont, lake regions, and surrounding counties. Her core coverage spans from Locust, Oakboro, Albemarle, and Wadesboro, up north to Concord, through Badin Lake, Lake Tillery, and High Rock Lake, and westward into Matthews, Mint Hill, and Greater Charlotte. Her seller listings receive broad regional exposure through her membership in Canopy MLS, ensuring maximum visibility for clients.
In addition to her brokerage expertise, Tina has completed the rigorous formal schooling and testing required for mortgage licensing. Though her license is currently inactive so she can dedicate her full focus to real estate sales, this specialized background gives her a unique advantage. She can demystify the financing process for her clients, helping buyers understand purchasing power, loan guidelines, and financial positioning from pre-approval to closing.
