As buyers from Arizona Cindy was very helpful in finding our home in a desirable neighborhood close to many of our stores. We knew very little about North Carolina however she guided us through the entire process and gave us assurances along the way. Cindy was very responsive to our requests and handled the viewing in person while we asked questions on Facetime for an hour and half. Cindy's experience was a huge plus for us and she has a team of contacts to help us going forward. She is a very trustworthy and professional agent we recommend to anyone in the market to purchase a house.

She kept me aware of everything that needed to be done, and encouraged me to help make decisions. I felt very comfortable working with Dawn. Her knowledge of the housing market, particularly in my area and price range, was spot on. Being a salesman, I appreciate her calm and calculated approach to selling my home.
Thank you, Dawn.

Martha was such a joy to work with. We started searching for a home in CLT while living overseas and she completed a handful of virtual showing for us over a 3 month period. When we arrived in CLT a few months later she met up with us and helped us find a rental property as the market was extremely competitive at that time. She checked every couple months just to make sure we were still good. Almost a year later she was ready to help us make our purchase. It's rare to have an agent who develops a relationship outside of just the business transaction and stay with you for almost 2 years through the multiple pivots of relocating from the other side of the world.
I would highly recommend Martha to others look to purchase their next home.

Martha was amazing with our move to Gastonia! We found our home before we had even put our old one on the market. She helped us keep in communication with the seller and make sure everything was moving along while we focused on getting our current home ready and sold. She was amazing with our 3 year old twin to boot! She's helping our mom find her next home now, as well. Thank you, Martha!

Dawn is amazing. She helped me find a home exactly where i wanted to be. She contacted the builders in the neighborhood and got me on a list for a home. When another home in the neighborhood was nearing completion she reached out to a different builder for me and she was persistent. She got me the first showing before the home was listed. I got a custom built dream home in the neighborhood with my grandchildren. This is not the first home that Dawn helped me buy. She has been amazing both on the buying and selling side for me several times. She is my "lifetime" agent.

In a market where listings did not stay available very long, Cindy was very helpful in finding the perfect home and negotiating to our purchase. We searched for a couple of months just to see houses already under contract before we could get to the first view. Cindy provided us constant updates to listings and helped identify the homes that best fit our needs and budget.

Cindy DePaola, has handled two real estate deals for my wife and I. The first was the purchase of our home and the second was selling some property for us. She is an amazing person first of all and an awesome realtor! She is very knowledgeable of what she does. One of the things we loved about her the most was, that she takes all the stress off of you and makes sure everything is done correctly. She’s very easy to work with and she flat out gets the job done! She communicates and updates you on everything that is going on and advises you on the options to take during the process. She made us feel like family, because she really cares about her customers during the sales process and afterwards. We highly recommend Cindy! She’s our realtor for life!

I am thrilled to share my experience working with Cindy as my realtor. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly easy to work with, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Her personable nature made the process so much more enjoyable, and I truly felt like she cared about my family's needs.
Cindy is exceptionally patient and takes the time to understand exactly what we were looking for in a home. She listened attentively to our requirements and preferences, ensuring that we didn't feel rushed or pressured throughout the entire journey. It was evident that her priority was to do the right thing for us rather than simply closing a deal.
Her expertise and dedication shone through as she guided us through every step of the process. It's rare to find a realtor who combines professionalism with such a genuine commitment to her clients. I highly recommend Cindy to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate realtor. Thank you, Cindy, for making this experience truly remarkable for me and my family! We truly found our home!

Cindy was very professional and always early for showings. Agents earn their money when things go wrong on the way to closing. Cindy was able to come up with contacts and solutions to the hurdles we ran into. Installing a main water line a week before closing? No problem! We can't thank her enough.

Cindy was very respectful, and knowledgeable about the market. She went above and beyond in order for us to find our cozy, beautiful home. She was easily accesible, organized and always on top of her things . Her communication was flawless, she responded to inquiries, questions, or concerns almost instantly. In this crazy competitive market it took us 5 month and 5 offers to purchase our home and Cindy was very patient with us. I never felt like I was an annoyance, even though maybe sometimes I was, especially when we were driving all over NC and SC trying to find the perfect location and house within budget.I recommend her highly.

We originally worked with Cindy on the purchase of our house in 2019 and again when we listed the house for sale in 2022. Cindy is beyond exceptional! She exceeded our expectations and presented our house with a spectacular marketing layout, including professional photos and collateral. Our move was particularly challenging, relocating out of state. Cindy was able to connect us with a Realtor in our destination state and made everything with the sale of our house as easy and uncomplicated as possible.

I had traveled from NY to NC to shop for a second home near my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter. Martha showed me two homes that were very nice, just did not meet my criteria. Before returning to NY, she said that she would find what I was seeking and she did!
She further explained that I can see video, pictures of tbe home and explained the option of closing remotely. I took full advantage of that option. She walked me through the entire process giving me peace of mind.
I would recommend her services to anyone. Whether your are local or out of state. She did an excellent job for me.

Cindy was fantastic to work with. She truly listened to our needs and preferences throughout the entire process. When challenges came up, she handled everything seamlessly—making the necessary calls and coordinating all the details. Her communication was always clear and consistent, and thanks to her efforts, we were able to close the deal successfully. We’re so grateful for her support! Thank you Cindy for all your hard work!!!!
