She was very patient with us in determining what area we wanted to settle in and showed us multiple options within our wish list. Wendy really came through in the negotiation stage and settlement. She diligently worked through each issue that came up with our sellers. While I was losing my mind, she was calm and professional. Wendy’s insight, knowledge of the area and problem solving skills are exceptional. She made our buying process so much easier and we couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. We love our new home. Thanks Wendy!! 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

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, 2017 read less

I could ask her a question literally any hour of the day and she would quickly respond. She is sharp and found a buyer for our home the same day. Amy F at Lake Realty helped us get to the know area and relocate from out of state. After speaking with a few companies and realtors this is by far the best experience moving, purchasing and selling. Everyone has truly been friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. My husband and I very much appreciate all their help and expertise. read less

I have know them both for 40 years.

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

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 lessJoyce E HickmanWe worked with Bret Masters to find a home in the Lake Norman area.

Our challenge was that we were, at the time, located in the Chicago suburbs ... 700 miles away ... and houses were selling in days if not the same day it came on the market. Bret toured homes for us remotely, sharing video walk-throughs and getting the answers we needed. He also helped with referrals for financing, insurance and inspections which were greatly appreciated.We ended up in Davidson and have been referred to as the couple who bought the house without even seeing it. Sometimes you have to be creative and get the help you need. While not a traditional client / agent relationship we ended up in a fantastic neighborhood with a house we are extremely happy with. Thanks Bret and Lake Realty! read less

Since our lease is running out, we decided it was time to purchase a house. We were not sure where we wanted to purchase our new home, but because of the market, we had to act quickly. Marsha treated us like her only customer. We were able to see about 15 homes in the matter of weeks before we decided which one to purchase. The negotiations were made easier by Marsha's expertise. We love our new home and love that we have made a new friend as well. Marsha's professionalism and caring made all the difference to us! read less
