We’ve never seen anyone work as hard to sell a home as Mike. He goes the extra mile to print large, all color brochures about the home and its features – and he printed them again when the price changed! He places placards around the home to remind prospects to look at specific details that may have been missed otherwise. He follows up on EVERY showing and calls the buyers agent to get their feedback, then relays that feedback to the seller. He took time with us, didn’t rush us and answered all of our questions. He provided us with checklists which really helped us to prepare the home. He even went so far as to provide us with contact information for contractors who could help us with drywall and paint! He was available 24/7 even late at night when we had questions and needed his advice. My brother, who didn’t know Mike like we did, instantly felt comfortable with him and told me many times how happy he was that Mike was our Realtor.Since we were selling the home in the Fall, before a showing, Mike went by the home to make sure everything looked great on the outside and inside. All of the little things he does he doesn’t have to; that what really makes a difference to us. He genuinely CARES about his clients. We sold our parents home quickly because Mike did his homework for the market in that area. His years of experience priced the home correctly for the market and as a result, we sold quickly. We highly recommend Mike as your Realtor. It simply doesn’t get any better than Mike Spunich. His character and integrity are of the highest caliber. We trust him and not only is he our Realtor, we made a lifetime friend and consider him part of the family. 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 HickmanMichael Spunich is one of the best realtors out there! I have never given feedback on another realtor before, but he deserves the kudos!

She truly feels like you’re talking to an old friend, so patient, ready to help in anyway she can.

Not only did she execute perfectly in every part of the home buying /selling process but she went above and beyond so many times. When we got under contract for our new house, she delivered boxes to our house to start packing. As we were preparing for the sale of our house, she worked countless hours helping us stage it. Kim didn’t have to do the little things but she did because she’s Kim. You should recognize her hard work and achievements. read lessTim & MeganLloyd & Darlene,

She was very accommodating right from the start. Did everything I asked so that I was comfortable. I was going through a situation and she was so caring. When I finally decided my bank was being on the slow side even though qualified. She got a lender involved and we were done in a matter of hours. Her dedication and perseverance is amazing. She practically held my hand through every step of the way. She didn’t wait for me to ask but stayed one foot in front of me the entire time. She made the closing so smooth and happy. There isn’t another realtor on the planet that you want. Thank you so much Marianne. read less

We where looking at a house in the same neighborhood and she found another one that was similar so we had options. That option turned out being the one for us. She helped negotiate a great deal and worked to make sure we received everything we asked for. She went above and beyond our expectations, meeting at odd times and multiple times so our child could see the house. Because of her work and incite we bought more than a house, we bought a home.

Not only was she available to show us all the houses we wanted to see when we wanted to see them, but she was always available by text and email. Jennifer has a wonderful understanding of the housing market and all the legal issues involved with buying a house. If we had a question, she had (or found for us) the answer. Buying a house requires a lot of decisions, and Jennifer was always willing to help us think things out. She always put us, as the buyers, first. She was always happy to take us to see one more house.Besides all this, she gives undivided attention. When the owners did not turn over the keys immediately, Jennifer waited with me for over an hour. She offered to go to the house when we could not because we were out of town.In all ways, I highly recommend Jennifer King as your realtor agent. My son may be moving to Charlotte, and we would advise him to use no other realtor except Jennifer! read less

We have done over 6 real estate deals with him involving where he has represented us as both the buyers agent as well as sellers agent. In both of these he has worked very hard to go above the call of duty to help us get the best deal. This year alone we did 2 sales with Mike’s help where we got multiple offers in under 24 hours. He provided fantastic guidance in proactive checklists for us to address as well as pragmatic insights on the competition in the neighborhoods. In both recent sales we set the benchmark record for the highest value in the neighborhood while having the deal finalize in under 24 hours. I would strongly recommend Mike for help with residential, investment or commercial real estate since he truly knows the Charlotte market and has a fantastic proactive attitude combined with a very strong network to get deals done in short time, which directly translates to maximizing value for sellers and buyers as his clients. read less

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

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.
