Advertising Disclosure

Last revised August 1, 2026

This Site is supported in part by affiliated and compensating firms. This page explains exactly what those relationships are, where they appear, and what they do not buy.

This disclosure is made in the spirit of the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.

Who is featured

Four Charlotte firms appear in labeled callouts across the guide because they work in and around Sharon Woods regularly and are affiliated with or compensate the publisher.

  • Peters Custom Homes — custom home construction and whole-house renovation.
  • Peters & Associates — residential real estate brokerage.
  • Emerald & Oak — interior design.
  • Peters Audio Video — smart home, networking, audio, and video integration.

How the relationship works

These firms are affiliated with or pay the publisher for placement in clearly marked callout modules, and an introduction you request may result in a commercial engagement between you and the firm. That payment or affiliation supports the cost of researching and publishing the guide.

Compensation does not buy editorial coverage. It does not determine which neighborhoods, schools, restaurants, parks, or market conditions are described, how they are described, or which external organizations are recommended elsewhere in the guide.

Where callouts appear

Partner callouts appear as visually distinct modules with a heading, the firm's name and role, an outbound link, and this disclosure summarized inline. Outbound links from those modules carry rel="sponsored nofollow" attributes. Nothing in the running editorial text is a paid placement.

Third-party recommendations

Non-partner organizations, public agencies, and primary sources referenced throughout the guide are cited because they are the authoritative source on the point being made. No payment is involved in those references.

Your choices

You are never required to use a featured firm. Requesting an introduction is free and carries no obligation, and you should independently verify licensing, insurance, references, and pricing before engaging any contractor, designer, or broker.
