The future of real estate in Charlotte & Myrtle Beach
At NextHome Paramount, we believe you are the CEO of your business. Our job isn't to tell you how to run it or make you fit into our box. It's to give you the training, tools, collaboration and support to help you build the business YOU want.
You've already proven you can sell real estate. Now, what could your business look like with the right people, training, resources and support around you?
We believe in high standards without egos. Collaboration without competition. Training that actually matters in the market you're working in today. And leadership that never forgets who works for whom.
You don't need another brokerage. You need the right people around you.
We're about to blow your mind.

OUR OWNERS
Jayme Downey
Owner
Bobby Downey
Owner
Jayme and Bobby Downey are the owners of NextHome Paramount. Together they've built a brokerage rooted in collaboration, integrity, and a genuine commitment to helping agents grow their businesses — across Charlotte, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC. Their shared passion for people over transactions is at the heart of everything NextHome Paramount stands for.
OUR OFFICE
NextHome Paramount is an award-winning brokerage focused on helping agents build stronger businesses across Charlotte, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC. We provide the tools, training, and culture that experienced agents need to thrive in today's market.
We're not trying to be the office with three hundred agents and a wall of headshots nobody can name. This brokerage is built around agents in production, not headcount, not butts in seats. If you want a brokerage that actually knows your name and your numbers, this is it.
FOR THE MODERN AGENT
We've built our brokerage around what agents actually need — practical training, proven systems, and a collaborative team that has your back.
LEAD OPPORTUNITIES
We don't hand you a stack of recycled Zillow or Realtor.com internet leads and call it support. Leads that come through NextHome Paramount are real opportunities, and they're round-robined across our agents so everyone gets a fair shot — no favorites, no gatekeeping, no one agent hoarding every lead that comes in.
Round-robin rotation — not first-come, first-grab
Every agent gets an equal shot. Leads are distributed in rotation so no one can camp the queue or cherry-pick the best opportunities.
Built to supplement your pipeline, not replace it
These leads are a bonus on top of the business you're already building — not a crutch, and not a reason to stop prospecting.
Real opportunities, not recycled portal leads
We're not buying bulk internet leads that have already been called by a dozen other agents. When a lead comes in through Paramount, it's a real person with a real need.
We hear it constantly from agents at other brokerages — 30%, 40%, even 50% of every commission check eaten up by fees for the leads they were handed, before they ever see a dime. The leads that come through NextHome Paramount aren’t recycled internet leads you pay to chase — they’re real opportunities, distributed fairly.

Training & Growth
Training here isn't a binder you get on day one and never open again — it's on-demand when you need a quick answer at 9pm, and it's in-person when you want real reps and real feedback.
The Network
Your Brokerage
"The comp plan tier you are in reflects your level of experience and production — because you shouldn't pay for support you don't need. If you are doing $6M+ in volume every year, you likely don't need to call your BIC daily for the basics — so you shouldn't be paying like you do. If you are new, you need more intensive time with trainers and mentors — and this brokerage shows up for that."
Even our Growth tier only has us keeping 25% — and every tier above it gets better as you produce. Your split is your split. We’re not renegotiating it behind closed doors.

TESTIMONIALS
Hear it from some of the agents who have made the transition.
There's something pretty special about finding the right real estate firm after you've been in this business for a while.
As a seasoned agent, I knew exactly what I wanted when I chose to affiliate with NextHome Paramount. I wanted a place where I could continue to grow, where experienced agents weren't treated like they had to "start over," and where support wasn't just a word on a recruiting brochure.
What really attracted me to NextHome Paramount is the culture Jayme and Bobby have built. I'm at a point where I wasn't looking for a brokerage—I was looking for the right people to surround myself with. And I did!
I've built my business around relationships. I care about my clients, I care about my community, and I genuinely enjoy what I do. I want to be with leaders and a company that sees real estate the same way—not just as transactions, but with relationships and people as the WHY! "Humans Over Houses" shouts that from the rooftops!
I have been in real estate now over 22 years and I couldn't be happier than I am at NextHome Paramount. We have a good mix of relatively new agents to some of the best agents in NC!
We all as a group are willing to help each other and Jayme and Bobby are the best leaders anywhere!
I simply adore this office. It is like having a home away from home. Jayme and Bobby are extremely supportive and I never feel like I am in this alone.
After 17 years with a large brokerage, I decided it was time for a change and made the move to NextHome Paramount.
I was looking for a more people-first environment—a place where good agents work together instead of against each other, and where I mattered as a person, not just as a number on a leaderboard.
I found exactly that here.
I joined NextHome Paramount because I wanted to be part of a company that values people and relationships over production and volume.
I love that it’s truly agent-centric! We’re reminded that we are the CEOs of our own businesses, while still having a trusted group of people around us who feel like extended family and are always there for support and guidance.
Making the decision to go to work for NextHome Paramount was one of the best decisions I have made for my real estate business, and a big part of that is because of Jayme Downey.
I chose NextHome Paramount because I wanted to be part of a brokerage that was forward-thinking, supportive, and focused on helping its agents build successful businesses, not simply providing a place to hang a license.
