About Peter J. Thevaos
I was born in Charlotte and attended Elizabeth Elementary, AG (Alexander Graham) Middle, and Central High School (now Central Piedmont). I also attended Wingate University and UNC-Charlotte where I studied business and real estate law. From 1964-1970, I was in general Real Estate brokerage in Charlotte. In late 1970, I began a retail career in management as Vice President and General Manager with Bailey, Banks & Biddle Jewelers in McLean, Virginia, Columbia, Maryland, and Charlotte.

I returned to the real estate business in 1975 and I have been active in the business since. I joined Bissell Hayes Realtors in 1980, the best business and career decision I have ever made and I thank God daily for Betty Hayes and Smoky Bissell, the founders, who gave me the opportunity.  While with Bissell Hayes, these were some of my accomplishments:

*   Sales and marketing of fine homes, condos, townhomes etc.

*   Consultant to builders and developers, assisted in designing and planning homes with builders, architects and clients, up to and including selecting lots, building materials and architectural elements etc. Have also assisted in planning high end housing developments, plotting and grading (grading as to value and pricing-A,B,C,D etc.) lots.

*   Assisted and consulted with other agents in house with some of their projects inlcuding helping them with comparables, assisting them with marketing photos and writing marketing data, descriptions and features of note etc.

In January 2009 I made a major career move and joined Helen Adams Realty which is a locally owned independent Real Estate firm with over 40 years in the business. I am absolutely thrilled with the new opportunity that Jeff Adams and his wonderful organization have offered me.

Additionally, I follow local, state and national politics and have been involved in church life since childhood. I am currently a member of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral and St. Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church both in Charlotte. I served as Board Vice President of Holy Trinity for 2 years and as chairman of the Cathedral Foundation for 5 years. I am also a former member of the Charlotte Jaycees.

In my free time, I enjoy reading political, business, and architectural publications, as well as surfing the Internet. I also enjoy music and generally staying as active as possible. I enjoy the beach and mountains, as well as getting together with family and friends. I have two sons who recently graduated from Appalachian State University. (My proudest contribution to life.) The boys are both working and living in Charlotte….I also thank God every day for my sons.

PERSONAL STATEMENT:  “I love helping others and thrive on a challenge. I am basically a giver…not a taker, a trait I inherited from my mother. My dad was in sales as is my brother and both sisters. I guess it’s in the blood so to speak.”
