Dennis was the consummate professional. He listened to what we were looking for in our new home. Dennis has a rare instinct for what would be a fit for us. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the entire area, and he’s on top on what’s available and what’s on coming up on the market soon. His background in architecture and planning is a rare asset in an agent. Dennis was very accessible during the whole process and made every step as pleasant as possible. He is patient and did not steer us, but rather helped us see advantages and disadvantages each prospective property with respect to OUR needs and desires.read less

We really believe he found us the best option out there, in the entire market, for suiting our needs. I've worked with a number of real estate agents over the years and he is by far the most thorough of them all. He knows every aspect of the industry and is relentless in pursuing what is best for his clients, as he takes a genuine interest in them. As a side note, Lake Realty also provided us with a moving truck free of charge for two days - these personal touches are exceedingly rare in this day and age!read less

We knew how important the process would be and wanted to make sure our agent had our best interest at heart and not just a price tag. When we found Jennifer, we found A GEM! JENNIFER KING-hands down is phenomenal! Things that we wanted in our realtor was **someone who would walk through a home as if she were buying it for her and her family.** An agent who ARRIVED EARLY to make sure the house looked "stage worthy" before we entered. An agent who would "go to bat" for us when it came to getting our needs met before closing. Jennifer was so PATIENT with us and took every concern we had and turned into a resolution. Her FRIENDLY demeanor went for miles! She KNOWS HER STUFF and is SO PROFESSIONAL. My husband works third shift and if were not for her "holding my hand" at times, while he was catching up on sleep, I don't know what I would have done.*She showed us a number of homes we picked out, but in the end, we chose the one SHE WANTED US TO SEE & FELL IN LOVE!! SHE REALLY LISTENS TO YOUR CHECKLIST OF NEEDS and does her best to have all of them met with your wants!* We can't say enough great things about her. LOOK NO FURTHER- GIVE HER A CALL! SHE IS REMARKABLE!!read less

My realtor at Lake Norman Real Estate is Kim Zarsadias. Kim wanted to 'know' me so that she could find the right fit for me and my family. At first, I was looking for a home to rent for 1 year before deciding to purchasing my forever home. Kim took me to every neighborhood she thought may be of interest to me and every house she thought fit my needs. She found us the perfect rental house in a sweet neighborhood. After almost 1 year of being here, we decided we wanted to make this area our permanent residence. So off we went again, to find the place we would call Home. Having known me now, she had a very good sense of what I liked and what my needs were and showed me only places that fit. She recently found us our warm, inviting & comfortable Home in a wonderful neighborhood. She is not only super sweet, but she is very patient and eager to investigate every option, and meets every challenge until it's no longer a challenge. She understands her customer's needs and wants them to be happy and content with their decision. She works tirelessly to make sure her customers' needs are met. I really enjoyed working with Kim, and can't thank her enough for making this big transition a lot easier and less intimidating. Simply the Best!read less

We just wanted to send a quick note to let you know how helpful, patient, and wonderful these two people are! Meredith and Don first worked with us while we were still living in Apex, NC and continued to send and show us homes until we moved here and bought the perfect home in Denver on the lake. (Westport Peninsula on Blue Water Ct). They both were so kind, understanding, and assisted us, and continue to do so, in everyway. They both go above and beyond the call of duty, and are currently working with some of our family/friends that may move here in the future. Whenever we need anything, or a contact, or just an awesome couple to come to our home or meet for dinner, they are the ones we call! It has been so great to have two loving and spiritual friends, as we have no family here. They both made us feel welcomed, which is another reason why we love the area. We will always keep looking, at what is out there on the market, in case we decide to move up. They are both more than willing to show us homes anytime. As you can tell, from my wordy email, we cannot praise Don and Meredith Jennings enough for their dedicated service and friendship. Thanks for having such terrific agents!read less

Just know that she has your best interests in mind and goes above and beyond to help you find that perfect home. She is responsive, available whenever, professional, assertive but not pushy when getting things done. She is honest, caring and makes you feel like an old friend. You can be open and honest about what you are looking for in a home, likes and dislikes and she will be determined to find the right fit. I not only had a realtor but now we have a friend for life. Definitely a person you want with you every step of the way when buying your first home or your last. She even came to the signing and sat in her car next to me, in case I had any questions. Her team of recommended professionals are top notch as well. Thank again Marsha! We love our home, so does bodhiread less

Thank you.. 🙂 I want to thank you both once again for working with me for the last 5 years and religiously sending me information regarding homes and properties via email. Well it paid off.. 🙂 I also want you to know how much I appreciate you welcoming me to Lake Norman. You made coming to a new area not knowing anybody so very easy. Thanks again for picking up my Moms car from the truck and storing safe and sound at your home..:) How can I forget the wonderful hamburger you treated me to at the Port City Club. That lunch was a blessing which brought us full circle in finding this home for me again. Absolutely amazing. The lord works in mysterious ways. Now I have a great story to tell about my new home and how I was guided to it by a higher power..ha ha 🙂 We live in a world today which is so different than what I'm used to growing up with morals and values that were taught to me. When good people such as yourselves come along it must be appreciated by people like me who get lucky when wonderful people like Lloyd and Darlene come along. I never take things for granted in this world and will always be grateful for your Kindness, Advice and Guidance. Thank you both so very much!read less
