This past November, The Agency Charlotte welcomed an invitation-only group of industry stakeholders and colleagues for an intimate event celebrating a major milestone: the official launch of The Agency Charlotte x Aclara Lending partnership.
Hosted by Abigail Miller, Managing Partner of The Agency Charlotte, the event brought together the key players behind this collaboration, including Michael King and Lonnie Wilborn of Aclara Lending, and Peter Ianos of The Agency’s Core Services team.
The Agency Charlotte’s dynamic management team was also in attendance: Broker in Charge, Rachael Bryant and Marketing Account Manager, Ashley Rodriguez.
Adding to the uniqueness of the Aclara and Charlotte relationship: One of The Agency Charlotte’s agents, Tahis Koutsopoulos, has officially joined Aclara Lending as the in-house loan officer dedicated to the local Charlotte office.
Tahis’s transition signifies the next evolution of service for the brokerage—bringing a trusted, experienced professional into a role that will streamline communication, elevate client experience, and create a seamless bridge between real estate and lending.
“Launching Aclara Lending in collaboration with Tahis and The Agency Charlotte marks a major step forward in how we’re able to support our agents and clients,” said Abigail. “The energy in the room at our kickoff event was incredible, feeling less like the start of a vendor relationship and more like the beginning of a true strategic partnership. We’re thrilled about the alignment, the innovation Aclara is bringing to the table, and the impact this will have on the level of service we can provide across our markets.”
This event served not only as the formal unveiling of the partnership but also as the first introduction of Tahis in her new role. Backed by Michael, Lonnie, and the entire Aclara Lending team, Tahis is uniquely positioned to offer personalized lending support deeply aligned with the needs and values of The Agency Charlotte’s clients.
“The Agency Charlotte embodies the collaboration, community, and client-first mindset that Aclara was designed for,” said Michael King on the collaboration. “Seeing both teams so engaged gives us great confidence in the path ahead and signals real momentum. We’re excited for the growth and opportunities it will unlock in Charlotte and beyond.”
As The Agency Charlotte continues to expand its presence in the region, this partnership underscores the office’s commitment to innovative, relationship-forward solutions designed to support agents and clients alike. Congratulations to both teams on this exciting new endeavor!
