After numerous years working in sales and for other real estate companies, Sutton Slawter, opened Signature Real Estate in 2007. Sutton and his wife, Dana, who was a mortgage lender at the time, had purchased a few rental properties along wtih a business partner and decided to manage them on their own. From buying those first homes and managing all of the details from marketing, repairs, accounting and more, they saw a need for a company that offers clients ALL real estate services under one roof: services for buyers, sellers, renters, HOAs & investors. A company that could rent your home if needed (which was a reality in 2007) and then assist you with selling it in the future (as the market improved). From that seed, the company has grown into a “one stop shop” real estate service provider.
Sutton is a Winston-Salem native and attended Forsyth Country Day School and UNC-Chapel Hill. He and Dana, a Monroe NC native, met in college and moved to Winston-Salem in 1991. Their interest in real estate was mutual. Sutton is a second generation real estate broker. Dana worked in marketing after college and then in the mortgage business. She had a successful 20-year lending career before joining the company as Director of Marketing and Special Projects in 2010.
Signature has grown into a group of top-notch brokers who have the versatility to work in whatever aspect of the business they choose – sales or property managament – or BOTH! Our COO and bookkeeping department manage accounting and bill paying services for nearly 2000 rental units, including single family homes, apartment complexes, beach properties, HOAs and even a private country club. Our company management is a team of diverse individuals who work together to create a great work atmosphere and a superior client experience.
We’d love the opportunity to assist you whatever the need. We are proud to be a LOCAL company who live, work and contribute to our Winston-Salem/Triad community.
