She truly feels like you're talking to an old friend, so patient, ready to help in anyway she can. Moving out of state is stressful, especially since my husband made the move before myself and our children, but she made the experience less painful by being so wonderful and always on top of everything that was happening. Thanks so much to Lake Realty and especially Jennifer King! If we ever decide to buy again, she'll be the one I call.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. Your clients foreverread 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

We were first time home buyers and new to the whole process. Amy was always responsive to doing showings, answering questions we had about different properties and willing to visit sites that were not exactly the norm so that we could see what the best fit was for us. She never pushed us towards any specific home, but relayed what the pros and cons were of each property so we could decide for ourselves. She always had a great positive attitude every time we spoke or met. So thankful for her help through the whole purchase process.read less

From the very beginning back in June when we met with you on a visit here, we weren't even sure when we would be relocating from So. California. You stayed in touch with us and when we were ready to move forward, you assisted us in finding temporary housing and a moving storage facility for our household items. Not only that but you met the movers at the storage site and stayed with them as they unloaded our personal belongings into storage! We have never, ever heard of a real estate agent that does all of that for a client. As soon as we arrived, we were on the road with you the very next day looking at potential properties. Even more helpful was your time in driving us around the Lake Norman area so we could become familiar with an area totally foreign to us. At the end of our housing tours with you we always received something back from you by that evening regarding whatever we had either discussed or had questions about that day in addition to any new listings. We often would say, "Wow Vanessa is working late tonight"! You very quickly came to understand what we were looking for and what we didn't particularly like and when you suggested we look at Denver at a home you had seen almost 8 months earlier that had come back on the market, you nailed it!! We absolutely love it!!!In addition, we felt very at ease with you from the very beginning and not only did you help us to find our dream home but have become a good friend in the process!While we realize your office likes to receive comments from your clients, we truly, truly could not have been more pleased with all you did to help us!! We couldn't be happier! Melissa & Michaelread less

She listened to our needs and was able to accommodate us with a variety of home searches with only a few days to spend in the area. Upon our arrival, she provided us with maps, lists of activities to do in the area, and local restaurants/shops to familiarize us with. She spent time with us (on the phone in separate cars) pointing out all the unique features of each town as we drove through. She was always accessible and was prompt with her responses when she needed to get back to us. She guided us through the entire process and made us feel that she had our best interest at heart. She was patient with us and we never felt rushed. We were impressed with her professionalism and her genuine interest in assuring we were satisfied with our final decision on our new place. A professional realtor who went above and beyond. We now consider her a friend.read less

I feel very fortunate that the day I called Lake Realty from the UK with lots of questions Marsha answered. From helping us to rent, then to buy Marsha could not have been more helpful. Her years of experience and extensive knowledge shows from the moment you start talking with her. She was always on hand to offer suggestions, recommendations and be a friend in a new place offering help and advice on matters that were not even related to her role as a realtor. If you are looking for a realtor where you feel your genuine interests are at the heart of everything they are doing then Marsha Marold is the one! I have recommended Marsha verbally and its a pleasure to write this review.read less

My husband and I were looking for a second property to rent out to vacationers. We had been told by previous realtors that Cornelius and Mooresville did not allow vacation rentals. Lynn Priestley was quick to respond that same evening. That coming weekend she lined up some condos to look at based on a list I provided her, but none panned out. But Lynn had done her homework prior to meeting with us. She found a condo complex in Cornelius that did still allow rentals due to a grandfather clause and that happened to have two units up for sale. Although a bit over our price range, we decided to take a look. Turned out to be a perfect location, 3 bedroom, ground floor unit and although not mentioned in the original listing, came fully furnished (huge bonus worth the added cost). It was turnkey ready for renters.Thanks to Lynn going that extra mile and doing the added research we now have a Haborside property we can use for family vacations and that, from the looks of it, will pay for itself! Our closing was Oct 31 and so far we are pretty much booked right through until April! I also wanted to mention, that she was very attentive throughout the entire process. Thanks so much Lynne!!read less
