Lake Realty Testimonials

Moving six times in the past 25 years we have worked with many realtors. Eloise worked tirelessly over several weeks and weekends finding us the perfect home. Coming from Florida we knew little about the area but knew we wanted to live near the lake. After finding the home she guided us through all the details while we were still in Florida. We have never had a better experience than dealing with Eloise Morano.

LOVED working with Lynne Priestly. She is professional and detail oriented. I appreciated her flair for creativity and excellent communication. She is quick to respond and easy to reach. So grateful we partnered with her! She helped get our house rented quickly by getting good word out. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Lynne!

Well we just finalized the sale of our home where we spent the last 27 years, so that we could open a new chapter in our experiences.

Sue was introduced by a close family member who said she had been very good to work with. Sue did exactly what she told us, gave good advice when asked, but allowed us to make the decisions. Over the years we have worked with some pretty good realtors but Sue is right there at the top. It is refreshing to work with someone that knows the ins and outs of the market in the area and is knowledgeable of most legal issues, and can negotiate on her clients behalf. Way to go Sue Nichols. Thank you for such a great experience.TrulyDavid And Yonnie read less

She made everything easy and explained how the process worked with me being a first time home owner. Thank you Vanessa! read less

My name is Kenneth Scott Miller. Marianne Thomas helped my fiance Candy, and I obtain our dream home. Our search began around Oct of 2017. At the time my credit scores were not good and my debt to income ratio was very high. But, I had a plan. Problem was: nobody listened to me and would really help me until Marianne.

Our search began around Oct of 2017. At the time my credit scores were not good and my debt to income ratio was very high. But, I had a plan. Problem was: nobody listened to me and would really help me until Marianne.

She stuck with me. Never abandoned me. She saw me through to the closing of our house. Our dream house. She was at our closing as I knew she would be. Marianne was almost always available to me. I know I wore her our with my questions at 9, 10 at night. I must of changed my mind a dozen times. Yet, she NEVER WAIVERED. NEVER!

Marianne is a fantastic real estate agent. But, she is an even better person. A good friend.

You are lucky Frank. Lucky that she works for you. Is on your side.

I am FOREVER grateful to Marianne Thomas. Thank you Marianne for helping me achieve my dream home. Even when it didn't seem possible. read less

We knew that selling our home in one neighborhood and purchasing another at the same time would be stressful and hectic. Although life is typically that way, doing just that of course added to it however Marsha kept things in check and helped us from getting overwhelmed by keeping it in prospective for us! It all came out as it should. We totally are thankful for her!

My husband and I have had the recent pleasure of working with Melissa Hinojosa in search for a rental home in Cornelius. Ms. Hinojosa is a professional in every sense of the word. She is personable, knowledgeable, efficient, and proactive. She helped us to find a lovely home and always listened to our needs. Great communication skills like hers are very much appreciated.

Great communication skills like hers are very much appreciated. Ms. Hinojosa always made sure our time was spent wisely when viewing properties. Ms. Hinojosa always seemed eager to assist in any way to ensure we found the right fit. She was always available to answer any questions and her follow up was to perfection. We have never worked with a realtor who worked so hard for their client. If we could give more than 5 stars it would be our pleasure. Please know what a true asset you have with Ms. Hinojosa as one of your realtors. Her professionalism, consistency, efficiency, and warmth are a few of the reasons we will recommend Ms. Hinojosa to anyone we know in the market for an outstanding realtor.

Darlene and Lloyd Radeschi are fantastic to work with! I have know them both for 40 years. When we got an offer on our house in NY and wanted a three week closing, I called Darlene, said we were on our way and they got busy in our price point and offered their home to us for the week while we searched for our home.

Belive it or not, we closed in NY in three weeks and closed here two days later. That was fast! I reccommed them highly!! read less

Marsha Marold provided excellent service! Our home sold in 1 day and OVER the asking price. Everything went seamless and Marsha took care of everything. She was way ahead of the curve anticipating anything and everything we needed all the way through closing. If you want some one who is a real "go-getter" and a real professional, then Marsha is your girl!

Melissa is great she helped my family and myself find what we needed. It’s good to have someone on your side that takes your interests to heart. Look forward to working with her again.

Bret Masters has energy and professionalism that far surpass my previous experiences with agents at other firms. He was 1 or 2 steps ahead of me, anticipating needs and ensuring my best interests were always first and foremost.

We are searching for the right home currently and Marianne is wonderful to work with. She keeps us updated every step of the way with the information necessary to help us make the right choice.

May you both have a Blessed Christmas Season! We can never thank you enough for everything you did in the selling of our home. Wishing you the best of health and happiness now and always!!

Ken Ledbetter is as solid as they come. Great work ethic and a great communicator. Looks out for the client first. I keep referring him clients and they keep getting great customer service!

Just know that she has your best interests in mind and goes above and beyond to help you find that perfect home. She is responsive, available whenever, professional, assertive but not pushy when getting things done. She is honest, caring and makes you feel like an old friend. You can be open and honest about what you are looking for in a home, likes and dislikes and she will be determined to find the right fit. I not only had a realtor but now we have a friend for life. Definitely a person you want with you every step of the way when buying your first home or your last. She even came to the signing and sat in her car next to me, in case I had any questions. Her team of recommended professionals are top notch as well. Thank again Marsha! We love our home, so does bodhi read less

I had a limited budget and Marsha treated me like I was buying a million dollar home! It did not matter the price to her. It mattered what made me happy and she wanted to make sure it was affordable for me!

We purchased a house through Sue and the entire process was flawless, and smooth as a baby's behind! She goes the extra mile to take care of the "little things" and the "big things" too. We cannot imagine a better realtor. Not much else to say... other than Sue has become a true friend in the process. Oh, and she is one mean laser tape measure user! Thank you Sue, you're the best! read less

Ms Thomas is lovely to work with! She is 'on top of things', knows the market and was able to help us in many ways. She is very knowledgeable of the area which is very helpful when moving from out of state.

You could NOT ask for a better realtor than Marianne Thomas. 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!

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

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!

very good service from Lynne thank you for everything!

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.

Wendy Liffers is amazing to say the least! She knew our wants and needs and catered to them. She was understanding, very down to earth, caring and cautious.

Know what our customer need and help us find the wonderful house. Thank you, Min !!

Eloise is wonderful. I would absolutely recommend her. It is my pleasure to have met her and her husband Matt, who helped me to relocate from San Diego to Mooresville. I am privileged to call her my friend. Thank you for all your help. I never worried about what was going on because I knew you were on it. Thanks!! -- Donna S.

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

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

They try to make it simple for such a large endeavor in moving!

Carol was there every step of the way. She always answered every call, text, or email quickly and with accurate information. Her professionalism, mentorship, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic were much respected and appreciated. I never felt that she was just trying to sell our home, but that she was a partner to answer our questions, assist in making the best decision for our family, and ensure we had an exceptional experience.

Marsha Marold is great!I am considering retiring to the Charlotte lakes region in the not too distant future.

Lloyd & Darlene,
We would like to thank you both for all you have done for us. Your patience is appreciated. It took some time but we found the right house! We are very happy! Thank you

We had a great experience with Lauren! She was very thorough and detail oriented. She had answers for all of our questions and had excellent contacts to complete each step of the complicated process of buying a home quickly. She was on top of EVERYTHING and made buying a home easy. I would highly recommend Lake Realty to any potential home buyer or seller, you will not regret it!

I already referred Marsha to family members and friends! We worked well together. We were not ready to purchase when we first met Marsha but she hung in there until we were. Along the way she answered questions and sent us information we requested. We love it here!

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.

Rick Carter at Lake Realty could not have been any better at listing and selling my condo. I live out of state, and we literally never met until the day of closing. He handled everything- promptly kept me informed, and made the transaction nearly effortless on my end. I could not have asked for a better experience.

If you want the best possible experience buying a house, then go to Jennifer. She's simply the best.

We appreciated his laid back approach to showings so that we could focus on the houses. Some people may like an agent that tries to "sell" you on the house, but we really enjoyed the way he hung back and let us explore the house on our own. In addition, he was always quick with responses to any questions or concerns that we had throughout the entire process. We are so glad that Bret helped us with this purchase. 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

Frank and his staff at Lake Realty did a great job from the beginning right through closing keeping me abreast of each step so everything went as smooth as can be. If I ever need help with my real estate needs I won't hesitate to call Lake Realty.

Mike Spunich is an excellent Real Estate Agent. His demeanor and time management skills make him the ideal guy for the job. He made sure my husband and I found the perfect house to be our first home as a married couple. You will not go wrong with Mike!
