Belmont · Gaston County
Belmont sits in Gaston County, a short drive west of Charlotte across the Catawba River. Close enough for an easy run into Uptown or the airport corridor, far enough to keep its own downtown and its own character.
Builders working Belmont and greater Gaston County follow the same registration rules as Charlotte sales offices. The on-site rep works for the builder, and if you register yourself before you have an agent, you can lock out independent advocacy on that community.
Credit is not a rebate, not guaranteed, and not why you hire us. Compensation depends on what that builder and community actually pay. Broker compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable. Some builders pay reduced or flat compensation. We confirm each community in writing before you tour.
Before you enter your name on a builder website, book a tour, or walk into a Belmont sales office, send us the community first. Many builders only pay a buyer-agent commission if that agent is registered ahead of your first contact, and some require us to accompany the first visit. Register yourself first and the builder can keep that money, and no closing credit can exist on that community.
Current pricing, lot premiums, and incentive terms move too fast to publish here. We confirm those in writing before you tour.
A Lennar townhome community inside the Redhawk planned community, with a clubhouse, two pools, tennis, pickleball, bocce, and a playground on site. Under 10 minutes to downtown Belmont, with Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden and the U.S. National Whitewater Center nearby. This is also where our VIP Build Inbox process held when a builder rep tried to route around our registration.
Some buyers weighing Belmont also look at The River District just across the river in west Charlotte, for a larger planned-community setting with several builder collections in one place. We can register and tour you in both corridors under one buyer agency agreement.
Redhawk Townes is the Belmont community we track most closely today, and it is not the only product releasing in Belmont and greater Gaston County. If you are watching a community we have not named here, send it to us before you make any contact and we will confirm registration requirements and compensation for that specific site in writing. We would rather add a community to this list after we have verified it than list one we have not.
Send us the community you are watchingRepresented-Buyer Credit
Register with Citadel before you tour. We introduce you and advocate on price, upgrades, warranty, and the contract. Any closing credit is paid only from compensation we actually receive, needs lender approval, follows the minimum service fee in your written buyer agency agreement, and fees are negotiable. Credit is not a rebate, not guaranteed, and not why you hire us.
When a community pays buyer-agent compensation, that compensation goes to whichever brokerage represents you. It is not a discount the builder hands back if you show up alone.
Citadel Cofield retains a minimum service fee to fund full representation on your file. Broker compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable, so that fee is set in your written buyer agency agreement rather than advertised as a fixed rate.
Whatever we actually collect above that floor comes back to you as a closing credit, disclosed to your lender and shown on your closing statement, subject to lender approval.
Some builders pay reduced or flat compensation. When it does not clear the minimum service fee, the credit can be small or zero. We confirm the number in writing before you tour, not after you are under contract.
Belmont townhome and single-family product often prices below the Charlotte in-city range, which is why the illustrative figure below uses a lower purchase price.
Why we do not publish a credit figure here
Broker compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable, so a published figure would be misleading. What we actually collect varies by builder and community, and what your lender will allow on the closing statement varies by loan. We put the service fee and the credit calculation in your written buyer agency agreement before you tour, and we confirm the community's compensation in writing before you write an offer. You get the real numbers in advance, not an estimate from a web page.
Credited at closing. Subject to lender approval. Paid only from commissions actually received. May be reduced or unavailable when a builder pays reduced or flat compensation. This is a closing credit, not a rebate and not a guaranteed cash-back amount.
Yes. Belmont builders follow the same registration rules as Charlotte, and the sales team represents the builder. Register with us before you visit a sales office or fill out a form so representation stays possible. Any closing credit is paid only from compensation we actually receive, needs lender approval, appears on the closing statement, follows the minimum service fee in your written buyer agency agreement, and fees are negotiable. Not a rebate. Not guaranteed.
Belmont is its own town in Gaston County, not Mecklenburg, with its own downtown, schools, and tax rate. Close enough to Charlotte for an easy commute, distinct enough that Charlotte-side assumptions about schools and taxes do not carry over. Verify assignment and rates for the exact address.
Availability shifts as phases release and sell out. Redhawk Townes by Lennar is the Belmont community we track most closely today. Send us any specific Belmont or Gaston County site you are watching and we will confirm its current status and registration process before you make contact.
Both are a short drive, generally well under 30 minutes depending on the Belmont neighborhood and the time of day. Confirm the real commute from the specific address you are considering rather than relying on a town-to-town estimate.
Possibly not on that community. Once you have registered yourself or visited without representation, the builder may treat you as their own customer, which can remove the compensation a buyer agent would be paid. Tell us what contact you have already had and we will tell you honestly what is still possible.

The Citadel Represented-Buyer Credit is offered by Citadel Cofield, a licensed real estate brokerage in North Carolina and South Carolina (NC Firm License C31339, SC Firm License 23860). Broker compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable. The service fee Citadel Cofield retains, and any resulting credit, are set in your written buyer agency agreement. The credit is paid only from commissions actually received by Citadel Cofield on the transaction and is subject to your lender's approval. It must be disclosed to your lender and shown on your closing statement. It cannot be applied to your down payment and cannot be paid outside of closing. The credit amount depends on the compensation actually collected and on your closing costs and prepaid expenses. It may be reduced or unavailable on some transactions, including builders that pay reduced or flat compensation. This is not tax or legal advice. Please consult your own tax advisor regarding any credit you receive.
