Despite the complications during the six months it took to complete the sale, Frank made it easy for us to communicate and complete documents by e-mail and fax. He kept everyone -- seller, buyer and tenant -- fully informed and up to date. When the tenant had to delay his move-out date, Frank suggested accommodations to the buyer which were fair to everyone. All parties were satisfied when the sale was finally completed this week. Our thanks to Frank and Martha for always going the extra mile and for being such delightful people to work with.Judy and Mois MaciasMoss Beach, CA March 11, 2017read less

Mike Spunich is an excellent Real Estate Agent. His demeanor and time management skills make him the ideal guy for the job. He made sure my husband and I found the perfect house to be our first home as a married couple. You will not go wrong with Mike!

She had out of town clients that wanted to move into our neighborhood and there just wasn't any homes available so she brought in this flyer. We called her since we wanted to move to a little something bigger. Within 3 weeks, she helped us find a new home, moved in a couple of days before we closed so the buyers could move in to our home at the time they needed to. It worked out nicely for us because the person we were buying the home from had a place to go. The wonderful team Marsha works with from the mortgage lender to the closing attorney got it all together in record timing and yet we did not feel rushed. We bought the home we wanted to. So little out there but she helped us find it! Explaining things and calling to make sure we were doing o.k. Enjoying our new home!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

She was a joy and a consummate professional with whom to work. She has strong communications skills and logistical talents. She is detail oriented and paid important attention to the many details that we communicated were important to us. . As we searched for a home, her strong communication skills and appropriate follow-up helped us identify and filter many appropriate candidates for purchase. She kept us closely apprised during the negotiation phases. She stayed on top of important details during the due diligence process and used her extensive networking skills to help us maneuver through the process. She relied on a host of technologies to keep the process smooth and efficient. She was well prepared for every call and meeting and delivered a friendly and personal touch to every aspect of our relationship with her. Even after the closing she has allowed us to remain in close contact and has remained a treasured resource and friend. This is our third home purchase. We have purchased properties in New York City, in the New York City suburbs and, now, on Lake Norman. Our purchase of the Lake Norman property has proven to be the easiest process of the three we have experienced due principally to Vanessa’s guidance, counsel, and assistance. We whole-heartedly recommend Vanessa and encourage, without reservation, all who would like to work with a personable and professional broker who knows the area well and can provide assistance far beyond the mechanical process of guiding buyers and sellers through the process to contact her and work with her.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

Marianne Thomas helped my fiance Candy, and I obtain our dream home. Our search began around Oct of 2017. At the time my credit scores were not good and my debt to income ratio was very high. But, I had a plan. Problem was: nobody listened to me and would really help me until Marianne. She stuck with me. Never abandoned me. She saw me through to the closing of our house. Our dream house. She was at our closing as I knew she would be. Marianne was almost always available to me. I know I wore her our with my questions at 9, 10 at night. I must of changed my mind a dozen times. Yet, she NEVER WAIVERED. NEVER! Marianne is a fantastic real estate agent. But, she is an even better person. A good friend. You are lucky Frank. Lucky that she works for you. Is on your side.
