Originally from San Diego, I relocated to North Carolina in 2010 and instantly fell in love with the quaint charm and natural beauty of Lake Norman and its surrounding communities. My dedication to helping you find or sell your forever home is my foremost priority, with a tailored service ensuring that you feel completely supported throughout the journey. Lets connect and turn your real estate dreams into reality.

Raised between Massachusetts and North Carolina, Charlotte has always been an anchor point for me—a place I’ve always called home. Since my family moved quite a few times, connecting with people became something I’ve relied on, so much so that it developed into a personal strength. I use that strength to build strong relationships, which has fortunately allowed me to grow a career in sales across Healthcare, the Industrial field, and Real Estate.
Gaining knowledge to better serve patients and clients has always been my top priority, and it continues to be as my Real Estate career grows. You can count on me to provide the best information and advice.
In my off-time, I treasure moments with my wife Val and our adorable pup Rem. If you follow me on social media, you’ll quickly see they are the center of my life!
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you in the future!

Growing up in Charleston, South Carolina and living the past 13 years in Lake Norman have given me a true appreciation of what the Carolinas have to offer. Lake Norman is a very beautiful, welcoming community with residents from all over the country. My husband, myself, and our 3 active boys have spent countless hours on Lake Norman boating, swimming, and using kayaks. In just a few hours you can hike and bike in the Blue Ridge mountains, or relax at one of the many Carolina’s beaches. What an amazing place to live!
I have successfully transitioned from a career in Marketing to Real Estate. This has given me extensive knowledge of the Lake Norman/Charlotte community. I have personal relationships with local schools, businesses, and nonprofits. My clients are like family to me. I am known for consistent communication, attention to detail, and ensuring a fun, positive experience for all. Listening to you and your family’s needs will be my main priority. Together we will endeavor to find you the perfect home. If you are new to the area, looking to purchase a larger/smaller home or investment property, I am the skilled negotiator you need by your side. I strongly believe it is my duty to represent you through every step of the process armed with top-notch information and market insight. With us it’s Simple!

My name is Michael Spunich, and I am a local Charlotte, NC Broker with Lake Realty. Lake Realty has been matching Buyers with Sellers since 1992. We are truly experienced with the added due diligence of buying and selling homes and lots on the three lakes. We will investigate every possible condition and contingency when marketing your home or when writing up your offer.
I believe that by listening to people’s true concerns, I can produce results that are a win-win situation for all parties involved. I use creativity and energy to find solutions for my clients, when others may only find objections. I pride myself in telling people what they need to hear, and not necessarily what they want to hear when it comes to the sale or purchase of property. This honest, informative approach keeps ugly surprises and miscommunications to a minimum during the buying and selling process.
My hobbies include hiking, camping, fishing, biking, flying, photography, Bonsai, cabinet making, and gardening.

I was born and raised in Harrison, New York. I have always loved going to model homes in new housing developments in the area. I started doing this as soon as I got my Driver’s License. Still love doing that. After graduating from Berkeley, I worked for Westchester County, working my way up to Deputy Clerk and Chief of Staff of the County Legislature. However, my love for real estate was calling me and I got my real estate license in New York and I sold for 26 years until my husband and I retired to the beautiful Lake Norman, North Carolina area. We settled in the quaint college town of Davidson. Davidson is home to Davidson College and reminds us of Westchester – only without the ice and snow.
After settling in Davidson, I obtained a North Carolina Real Estate license. As a realtor, from the buying side, I strive to make the transition into a new home as easy as possible. I know what it is like to move to a new area and establishing new relationships with neighbors and business. On the selling side, I used my experience to make the selling cycle as simple as possible. I joined Lake Realty whose motto is ‘With Us it’s Simple’. That fits my philosophy. I work very hard and listen more than talk to make sure each want and need is met. Let me help assist you.

Hi, I am Meredith Jennings and thank you for visiting our website.
My husband and I moved to Davidson, NC, in September of 2003. We love it here. Both of us were born and raised in Memphis, TN. We attended Univ. of Memphis and in 1973 were transferred to Davenport, Iowa. From there we lived in Bloomfield Hills, MI and Chicago, IL. We have a daughter in Phoenix and a son here in Mooresville. We loved our time in the Midwest but were transferred back to the South. When the children were in school I remained at home being very active as a volunteer for United Way and active in our church and schools.
When the children left home I went to work for a major bank and then was the purchasing agent for an international security firm. I am always amazed at how my years as a volunteer enhanced my years of employment. When moving to NC I started my real estate career and I love it! Having moved often, built new homes as well as renovated some as old as 1857, I felt I had something to offer. It also gave me a greater appreciation for the role a Realtor plays in making life manageable and helping to ease the stresses and challenges a move involves.
As a Broker/Realtor/ABR (Accredited Buyer Agent) and SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist) with a client-focused attitude, I will listen well and respond to your needs in buying or selling your home or property.

I have 15 years of experience in the real estate and property management field. Our family is originally from Texas, and we’ve lived in New York, Maryland, and California. Our relocation to the Lake Norman area occurred over 10 years ago, and we haven’t looked back since! I received my degree in Paralegal Studies and once I received my NC real estate license, I’ve had great success in helping renters and buyers find a place to call their own right here in the Lake Norman area. It’s important to spend time getting to know my clients, and I’m thrilled to be part of Lake Realty team as a concierge to help navigate the often stressful process of moving to a new property.
My husband and I have 2 children that are both in the local public school of Davidson Elementary. We especially enjoy spending time outdoors in activities such as hiking, swimming, and tubing (in Summer AND Winter activities!) as well as shopping in Birkdale Village and spending time with friends and family on the weekends.

My journey started with me packing my bags, renting out my condo, and leaving northern New Jersey to head down to sunny North Carolina. What I thought was a temporary job transfer led me to the place I’m proud to call home for over 20 years. The Lake Norman area has been a wonderful place to raise a family and enjoy life. Having raised two kids here, I know the importance of good schools and quality communities.
I’m excited to help you as you take the next step in your journey. Whether you’re new to the area, upsizing, downsizing, or ready to invest in Real Estate, I would love the opportunity to share my expertise in helping you with all of your Real Estate needs!
If you are looking for a true ‘people person’ who has a passion for helping others, then reach out to me and let’s talk about how I can help YOU. :-)

My husband and I arrived in the Lake Norman area nearly 20 years ago via Akron/Cleveland, Ohio and then Pittsburgh. It felt like home almost immediately because we found the people so friendly. I’m not sure if it is the abundant sunshine or the pretty lake that creates such a sense of community and happiness. Not only have we watched our three beautiful children grow and blossom in Cornelius but also have watched this area grow into a very amenity-rich community that is suitable for all lifestyles, young and old. As with many families…most of my husband’s family followed us here!
I truly believe in being committed to you as my client, providing you service with integrity. Your trust is very important to me. I will keep it simple for you as I help you navigate the selling and/or buying process while putting you in the most advantageous financial position with the home buying and selling processes. Before Real Estate, I had a career first in Merchandise and Sales Management for a major department store and then Corporate Client Services and Product Implementation in banking. I am detail-oriented and have an eye for design along with extensive knowledge of this area.
If you would like an evaluation of your home’s value or are thinking of buying or selling, please give me a call – I would love to meet you and work with you.

Growing up in “Bronx” NY to loving parents with visual challenges, taught me strength, courage, honesty, working together, and being sensitive to others and their needs. I moved to NJ from the Bronx and raised my family. In 1989 I started my Real Estate career. My family and their happiness is what fulfills my needs and what brought me to the Lake Norman area in 2006, knowing I wanted to live the quality of life that this area, Lake Norman, our “inland sea,” offers. I then received my Real Estate licenses in both North and South Carolina.

As a native North Carolinian and a Lake Norman resident for over 20 years, I can attest that North Carolina and especially the Lake Norman area is a great place to live.
