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

Very informative and very patient with me when the short sale I wanted went under contract to someone else. He patiently waited with me while it came back on the market and did everything to get me the best deal on the house. He even sent me videos of the home inspection that I was unable to be at. I am a first-time homebuyer and he walked me through everything even giving me tips and pointers on what I needed to do to take care of the house. I really enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone I know looking to buy a house. read less

She offered excellent support and advice about the area, the process, the negotiation, every step of the way all the way through the deal. We have been looking in the area over the past 3 years and Marsha has been there to answer any questions and offer any help as needed along the way but not pushy in the least. Marsha was certainly looking out for our interests the entire time – not just trying to get a deal done. She has provided valuable information and referrals to help us throughout the process and after the having closed on the property. She was absolutely on top of every little detail throughout the entire process can’t say enough how helpful and efficient Marsha was throughout the experience. We would highly recommend Marsha to anyone interested in selling or buying real estate in the area. read less
