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

I have know them both for 40 years. When we got an offer on our house in NY and wanted a three week closing, I called Darlene, said we were on our way and they got busy in our price point and offered their home to us for the week while we searched for our home.

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

My experience with Carol was THE BEST !!!!!
Every aspect of handling a customer properly.....Carol nailed!!!. Her follow up....her communication skills and frequency....her ability to explain everything ...the ease with which I was able to reach her .....her willingness to be available for me on my schedule (I lived in Chicago).
The above is great...but what meant the most to me is the TRUST I had and have in Carol. I knew I could count on her to do what was best for me...and I looked to her for guidance all the way. The fact that I was comfortable sharing any of my personal info with her....made everything so much easier for me.
For Carol.....what she does is not a "job"...or a "career".....it is her PASSION!!!! read less

We felt that with all the new apps and other ways to find homes it would a breeze. We were wrong. We found out that we had no idea what we were taking on. Then at work a woman with the greatest attitude came in to talk, not about houses but other things. Well long story short we had a great conversation and out of that I found out that she was a realtor. We exchanged numbers and she gave me her card and the next day followed up with me.
Marianne was polite, honest and most of all hard working. She put us first and we found our first home. My wife and I consider Marianne family now and often speak to our friends and family of the journey. From looking at houses to having to lift Marianne on my shoulders to see in an attic. There was nothing she wouldn’t do for us. Thank you for such a great road to our new home.

Lloyd & Darlene, It has been too long coming to give you thanks for all you've done for me and Danny. We're so gad you were our selling agents and we love our new home that you found for us. Thank you again,

Lloyd & Darlene,
A simple thank you may not be enough to express our gratitude and show how much we appreciate you patience and professionalism over the past few years. We are very grateful to you both for everything and expect a great many years enjoying our Lake Norman Home.

We had been in contact with her for almost (maybe even over) a year while we waited for the perfect home to come on the market. She was extremely patient with us and ultimately was the reason we were able to go under contract on our dream home as soon as it hit the market! When it came to selling our house, she went above and beyond on open houses, following up after showings and ensuring that we found the perfect buyers. She is responsive, knowledgable, and extremely easy to work with. We highly recommend her and are grateful for everything she did for us! read less

She is always one step ahead of you, finding ways to make the entire process as seamless as possible. Add this to the fact that I was an out-of-state buyer during a pandemic, and the stress can be overwhelming. Lynne handled everything and went above and beyond a standard "agent's responsibility" to help me find a neighborhood that fit my personality, give me a sense of the neighboring towns, negotiated hard, and helped manage all of the vendors who helped make sure the home was in great condition. If you are looking for an agent that exceeds expectations and will work harder than anyone in the business, then look no further than Lynne Priestly! read 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
