From the first time I spoke to her, I knew that she would do everything she could to find me exactly what I wanted. She was always two steps ahead of me and was more concerned about my needs than her own convenience or commission. She truly loves helping people. She exceeded my expectations. I never felt like I was bothering her. In fact, she felt like a friend from the beginning. A real estate friend of mine who is in New Jersey told me I had found a true gem in Melissa, and I couldn’t agree more. Professional, efficient, understanding, extremely knowledgeable, passionate. They don’t come any better.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. Lynne 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 bedrooms, 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

I had a very clear and definite idea in my head of what the perfect house was for my family and Marianne worked with me for over 6 months to find it! On top of helping us find and eventually purchase our "dream home", Marianne turned around and help us sell our home, having it under contract before 2 days had even passed for asking price!! She guided us through the tedious processes of both buying and selling homes with ease. We are so grateful for her wisdom, kindness, and professionalism.read less

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

We crossed paths with Michael one cold and rainy day while he was showing a piece of property next to our home. This was a piece of property that had been listed for years. We had never seen an agent show the property or even inquire about the property. They simply put a - For Sale - sign in the yard and went on about their business. We are here to tell you that Michael is not that type of an agent. He takes his real estate very seriously and goes above and beyond what is expected of him! Did I mention that he DID sell that piece of property, that day! We were immediately curious to talk with him about his strategy because we had our house listed, on and off, for over 2 ½ years, with no luck. He was excited to meet with us and share that strategy! Within days he had our house on the market AND within (7) seven days, he had our house under contract. Not only with (1) one committed buyer but also a back up contract in place. His work did not stop there! He was a part of every minor detail from that day to our closing date. You would’ve thought with as much attention as he paid to us, that he only had this (1) one listing or even that he was selling his very own home. That was not the case at all! He cared about us, our concerns, our expectations and our outcome. He spared nothing when it came to time or money to get his job done. We are now using Michael to represent us as we purchase our new property. At this point, he has represented us on both sides, as a sellers agent and now as a buyers agent. If you are looking for an agent you can trust, we highly recommend Michael Spunich. Do not waste anymore time, give this man a call today!read less
