I highly recommend Jennifer, she was so much help and found us the home we wanted. Everything went off without a hitch and was very smooth at closing. We were coming from out of state and couldn't believe how great things went.

Initially the plan was to rent an apartment in Cornelius for about 6 months so we could get acclimated to the area prior to purchasing a home. I contacted Sue while I was in Chicago after performing a search on the internet and explained our situation. Even though we were not looking to initially purchase, Sue provided us so much information about the local areas and was there to answer any and all questions us unseasoned movers had. Ok, so let’s just say the apartment that we were looking at was not going to work for us, after we arrived to visit the area. I immediately called Sue and asked her if it was possible that she could show us some homes over the next couple of days, she gladly said, “Of course”. Over the next day and a half, Sue showed us homes in Cornelius and some neighboring areas, and on day two, we made an offer that was accepted by the seller. I can tell you from all of my experiences working with realtors both as a home buyer/seller and while working as a loan officer as well, I have never experienced such a comfort level working with anyone else. Sue is super attentive, informative, and any other adjective you can think of that you would want representing you and you interest when it comes to purchasing a home. My wife and I are your biggest fans and advocates Sue, and as long as you are in the realtor business, you are our rock star realtor! Thanks bunches!read less

As soon as we contacted them, they toured our home and property and recommended the way forward. Martha and Frank quickly listed our home and created a beautiful brochure and an online virtual tour, and we began to receive requests for showings. Martha, Frank and their staff are professional, reliable, personable and innovative. They were available at all times to address concerns, answer questions and discuss plans for sale of our home. When we received a viable offer, they communicated quickly and effectively in helping us negotiate the sale and in the closing on our home, which went flawlessly. We highly recommend Martha and Frank Free for your realty needs. Earl & Cherylread less

She walked through the whole process step by step, making sure I understood everything. After the first house I viewed, she knew exactly what I wanted and would send listings to me of what I was looking for. The 3rd house I looked at was the one I bought. She knew I would love it, and she was right! She even brought the papers with her so I could put in an offer right there on the spot. She was in contact with me throughout the closing process so I knew exactly what was going on and what paperwork I needed. She was great. I will definitely use her again in the future and will highly recommend her to all of my friends.read less

I came to North Carolina from New Jersey searching for a home in January 2013. I saw Vevie's profile on the internet, liked it and I got in touch with her. At that time I was looking in the Gastonia area. She showed me around but also suggested other areas that she thought I might like. She took me to the Hickory area and I knew that was where I wanted to move. She suggested that I wait until Spring so there would be more homes on the market to choose from. In the mean time, after I traveled back to NJ, she kept in touch with me and notified me if she saw something that I might be interested in. I came back in April 2013 and we continued to look for homes. She proved to be very diligent, proficient and knowledgeable in her job. She was very patient with me and took me around the area to find what I was looking for. When I saw homes on the internet, she would look them up for me and take me to see them if they were still on the market or feasible for my needs. She gave me encouragement and told me not to settle because the right home would come along. It eventually did and she found the right home for me. Through the process of going to settlement, she made herself available for any questions that I would have and explained every step that I needed to help with my settlement. We ran into a few minor problems with the seller and Vevie took care of everything. She took the extra step to insure that the process of moving into my home was smooth. I am so thankful for her expertise and kindness she showed me while I was house hunting. I am enjoying my home. She is truly an asset to her employer.read less
