Advertising & affiliation disclosure
Who pays for this guide, and what that does and does not buy.
Last updated · August 2026
The relationship
This guide is published in association with four Charlotte businesses: Peters Custom Homes (custom builder), Peters & Associates (real estate advisory), Emerald & Oak (interior design) and Peters Audio Video (audio-video integration). Those firms are named and linked throughout the site where their discipline is relevant.
What is paid and what is not
The four network firms are the publishers of this guide, and their appearance on relevant pages is a commercial placement disclosed as such. Every other recommendation on this site - restaurants, museums, venues, parks, schools, public agencies and institutions - is unpaid and was not solicited.
- Network firm placements: disclosed commercial relationship
- Third-party venues, schools and institutions: unpaid, unsolicited
- No pay-to-play editorial coverage of any kind
Editorial independence
Editorial content is not for sale. A commercial relationship does not change how a place, building or ward is described, and no advertiser reviews factual copy before publication.
Referrals and compensation
If you engage a network firm after reading this guide, that firm may earn ordinary compensation for its own professional services. This site does not sell enquiries, does not operate referral fee arrangements with outside agents or lenders, and does not run third-party advertising.
Licensing
Real estate services are provided by professionals licensed in North Carolina, and construction services by contractors licensed in North Carolina. Licensure can be verified with the relevant state board.
