Lake Realty Testimonials

My husband and I worked with Marsha. Marsha was very professional. She was always available when we had questions. She knew what we wanted and helped us find the perfect home. We would definitely work with her again.

We sold our home in just 6 days...so smooth! We did not know what to expect but Marsha took us through every step of the way and helped us with finding our new home. We started the process even way before we put our home on the market. She worked within our time frame. Just so wonderful working together!

From start to finish Lynn was AMAZING!!!She went above and beyond what is required to make sure all was right for us with a smooth transition. She is truly loyal to her clients and always serving in their best interest in every aspect. Lynn was on top of everything and ensured there was no stone left unturned...including all the extras that come with moving unrelated to the buying/selling of the home. I would have been lost without her professional expertise!Lynn is also honest and will give you her educated opinion to lead you in the right direction. I will reemphasize that from the start of our journey in looking for the perfect home, to the selling of our current home, Lynn and the Lake Realty staff went above and beyond!!!

The home buying process has dramatically changed since the pandemic and Kim has adapted to it. She was extremely patient with us over the year-long process to find our next home and to sell our home. She was masterful in negotiating our purchase and negotiating our sale.

She was extremely patient with us over the year-long process to find our next home and to sell our home. She was masterful in negotiating our purchase and negotiating our sale.
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 less

I worked with Lynne Priestley as the builder/seller with one of her buyer clients. She is detail oriented, negotiates well on behalf of her clients, yet is reasonable and pleasant to work with. We encountered a few unexpected challenges along the way and I really appreciated her calm demeanor, positive attitude and problem solving abilities. We would not have closed the transaction without her expertise. I look forward to working with... read moreI worked with Lynne Priestley as the builder/seller with one of her buyer clients.

He listened to what we were looking for in our new home. Dennis has a rare instinct for what would be a fit for us. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the entire area, and he’s on top on what’s available and what’s on coming up on the market soon. 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

Wendy Liffers was amazing to work with. She made everything seem so easy, maintaining a calmness even in some potentially tough situations. Wendy held together a very tenuous deal without conflict, and exuded a professionalism that only comes with experience. I sincerely hope that we cross paths in the future.

You truly are a dynamic duo…we could not have been happier with our visit to your beautiful Lake Norman region. We saw a lot of really interesting properties together, and now there is lots of food for thought. You certainly know the Lake Norman are and offered us all the information we will need to make an informed decision when we purchase our Lake Norman home. Many thanks to Lloyd & Darlene!

We have waited quite some time to be able to get a place that we can call home. I thank ya'll so much for your very helpful time and patience in finding the perfect home for us. Ya'll are truly, by far the best Realtor that I have ever worked with!

Thank you so very much Lloyd & Darlene for being such caring Realtors! I hope you enjoy the wine!

So very grateful to have Lynne Priestley as my realtor!! Her knowledge of the Radbourne community and personable guidance selling my home the day the sign went up completely blows my mind!! From beginning to end Lynne continually held my hand from staging, offer of moving truck and having an answer ready within minutes. Lake Realty is lucky to have Lynne a member of their team!! Thanks Lynne!!

friendly fun honest. great experience.

If it wasn't for Marsha, we would still be in NJ! Everything kept going wrong on our end. What she kept doing to make sure we would have a smooth transition when we finally got here was unbelievable! She was our guardian Realtor. We thank her so much!

Lloyd and Darlene have been amazingly attentive and professional. Although we have no immediate plans to relocate, they have been providing us with listings for several years and when we actually visited the Lake Norman area, they gave us an informative tour of homes for sale and area towns. If we do decide on Lake Norman in the future, Lloyd and Darlene will definitely be our agents.

Fran and I cannot thank Darlene and Lloyd enough for your professionalism and the amount time and effort you spent introducing us to Lake Norman; I/we have an excellent feel for it. Despite the other house being perfect, I/we would probable choose a house in the Harbour or The Point because, as you know, I want to be surrounded by only upscale homes.

Lloyd & Darlene,
Been around a ton of people in life. Never around any quite like you two. Its been a pleasure getting to know you both. You've made us feel like the Lake Norman are is already "home". Our house is great. Can not thank you both enough for going above and beyond. Warmest thanks from both of us.

Don and Meredith are extremely knowledgeable in all things concerning the Lake Norman real estate market. They helped us in every step of the process. They took the time to explain difficult to understand laws, and procedures. They are very well connected in the community and there is amazing support from the Lake Realty office. The Jennings approach is unique in this industry; they are real estate counselors. They facilitate the transaction as all agents do, but they personally make sure you are comfortable with the decision at every step of the process. read less

We worked with Melissa and she was absolutely wonderful. She was professional, returned calls and responded to emails promptly, and truly listened to what we needed. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a home. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could!! Thank you Melissa!

Buying my first home has been an easy process, thanks to Vanessa. She was wonderful to work with every steps of the way.

Initially, I wasn't sure what I was looking for but she quickly understood what my needs and desires were. We visited quite a few houses in many different neighborhoods, which helped me narrow down on a location and type of home. In the end, I am convinced that I found the perfect home at the best price. read less

Melissa Hinajosa was such a pleasure to work with. She worked tirelessly on our behalf and helped us find exactly what we needed. Her communication throughout the process was extremely helpful and she was there for us every step of the way. We would definitely use her again.

Dennis worked extremely hard to make sure the sale consummated smoothly. Every question was answered, great advice was given and he guided the transaction to closing with an experienced hand. It was a pleasure working with him.

Very smooth sale of our home, Marsha was easy to work with. With other things to work through in moving and work related, everything came together...

Thank you, Darlene. We enjoyed working with you and Lloyd and will refer any friends to you who may be purchasing homes in the future. Thank you again and speak to you soon.

Michael Spunich is one of the best realtors out there! I have never given feedback on another realtor before, but he deserves the kudos! Michael was always accessible, calm, easy to talk to and knows his business. I don't think I have ever had such a smooth transaction before and I owe it all to Michael! He is one of the best!

Marianne is a fantastic realtor. She has been very responsive and knowledgeable during the entire home-buying process, and was quite patient with us while we were looking at multiple properties and asking countless questions. Her flexibility with times for showings went above and beyond our expectations, and she has a knack for giving pertinent professional input and recommendations without being overbearing or pushy. I highly recommend!

Vanessa at Lake Realty helped me find my lake house. She was positive and knowledgeable about the area. She also provided good advice throughout the house hunting process. I recommend her service.

Vanessa, we wanted to take some time to thank you immensely for helping us to find our dream home here in North Carolina!

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 & Michael read less

She connects, engages and gets the job done! Lynne is kind and a delight to be around — very much a people-person with top-notch communication skills. Her work ethic is admirable.

Marsha communicated frequently and we always felt like she had our best interests in mind. She made sure we got a fair deal and helped at every step of the process. I would recommend her to anybody looking for a home in the Charlotte and Lake Norman areas.

Our realtor Melissa was beyond amazing.She listened to our wishes and was always on a lookout for the right house. She advocates for you and always has your best interest at heart. Works very hard, is honest and responsive. Could not ask more. Thank you

My experience with Bret Masters representing Lake Realty was fanatisic. The home selling process along with Realtor representation was explained in detail allowing for firm and client expectation alignment. Mr. Masters worked diligently to sell my home. I would highly recommend Lake Realty and Mr. Masters. Eric V Shelton

We have worked with Mike Spunich for quite some time now. He has always worked in our best interest. He’s never pushy or concerned about the sale. He genuinely puts your needs/desires first. We are thankful to have found him to do business with. Always a pleasure!

Marianne Thomas answered all my questions and helped me get my home even though I lived 300 mikes away!

Thank you so much for working so hard for Derick and I in this 2 year journey. I know we have been a bit of a thorn in the side, but we are so appreciative of the time and effort you have given us.

We cannot wait to start building memories in our new home! Once we are settled you will have to join us for dinner! Derick is a fabulous cook!!

We can’t speak highly enough of Kim Zarsadias as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. She is detail oriented, honest, and good with people. She was able to sell our old home and coordinate the purchase of our new home in a seamless transition. She is one of a kind.
