We dealt with Carol Vandergrift who we did not know at all prior to having her represent us for the purchase of our home on Lake Norman. I cannot begin to list the ways in which she went above and beyond, to not only get the deal done, but get us the right price. She reviewed the inspection reports, made solid suggestions and even called and scheduled vendors for us, since we dont live in the area. She was a wealth of information and a pleasure to deal with. I would strongly recommend using Carol, and will happily use her again for other real estate purchases.
