"Our old home was in Elizabeth and our new one is at Lake Norman so the distance and time Cay spent working on both was very much appreciated. Cay was always enthusiastic thorough and very hard working. She helped us negotiate and work through some tense situations and was always willing to do "whatever it took" to benefit and please us the customer. Overall I would like to thank both your company and especially Cay for the professionalism and the ease of doing business with Cottingham-Chalk. Cay is a great person to have on your team!

"From day one Cay was a pleasure to work with as she took the time to understand our needs and to identify the locations which best met those needs. However what Cay offered went beyond simply finding us a house as she skillfully helped us to understand what each of the communities that we looked in offered and how this would work with our lifestyle. Over a four day period we came to understand the tradeoffs that Charlotte presented both in terms of purchasing a new home versus an existing home and in terms of the location itself. As a result we were able to make a decision to purchase a home that we were both quite comfortable with.It is difficult to express how grateful we are for her efforts which helped us make a successful transition to a new area with a new job and a 4 week old baby!
