Our History in North Carolina

T.R. Lawing Realty was founded in 1957 by Thomas R. Lawing, Sr. and his wife, Catherine H. Lawing. What started as a local real estate operation of the 10-year-old Laureldale Apartments in Charoltte quickly grew alongside the expanding North Carolina rental market, laying the foundation for what would become one of the region’s most established residential property management companies.


Over the decades, the company evolved into a full-service rental property management firm serving multiple North Carolina counties through offices in Charlotte, Huntersville, Shelby, and Albemarle. In 1995, Mr. and Mrs. Lawing retired and leadership transitioned to the next generation. Today, the company remains privately owned and is managed by second- and third-generation property managers, Thomas R. Lawing, Jr. and T. Joseph Rempson.


For almost 70 years, we have managed the details for hundreds of individual investors and homeowner associations throughout the Charlotte region and beyond. While the real estate market has changed significantly over time, our commitment to professional management, accountability, and long-term client relationships has remained constant — principles that continue to guide our family-owned business today.

After working with a lot of other Realty companies and not having any personal help. I was blessed to find T.R. Lawing Realty where the staff helped me with the whole process of getting me in a property that best fit my needs. I am so thankful and would recommend them to all my family and friends.

TR Lawing has been a very good partner in managing my properties. We have set up a very good working relationship that reflects my desired level of involvement in managing my properties. They have been excellent in following directions and keeping my best interests in mind. I own both multi-unit and single family homes and they treat each unit and property with the same level of care. I trust their advice and direction.

This is the second time I've rented from TR Lawing Realty Company. My experience was so exceptional before that I didn't hesitate to call them again after seeing a house for rent. As far as I�m concerned they're the best rental realty in the area! Also, the leasing agents and the front desk are so attentive and helpful. These are all caring, wonderful people. As a matter of fact, all of their employees go above and beyond which is much appreciated. I highly recommend TR Lawing for their superior service.

I had a great experience with T.R.Lawing. They bent over backwards to make the experience a smooth as possible from the initial rental application to the move-out and getting my security deposit back. Their repair dept was courteous and worked to hard to get the job done as quickly as possible. I Recommend T.R. Lawing, check them out yourself.
