We've always felt we've worked with good Realtors in the past --- until we worked with the 'Doug and Marcia Kerr' team. What a wonderful surprise! Doug spent countless hours driving us around to familiarize us with the various areas of Lake Gaston. We so enjoyed spending time with him, and his knowledge of the lake was second-to-none. By the time we found the house that we ended up purchasing, we knew we were making a good and informed decision. You could not have a better representative. Since we were out-of-town for the majority of this transaction, we relied heavily on his advice and direction, which was always spot-on. This much needed support was provided with a refreshing and positive attitude. We are still amazed at Doug's outstanding problem solving skills and how quickly he could get the closing checklist accomplished. We appreciate Doug and Marcia's honesty, professionalism, preparedness, enthusiasm & patience. You have our highest recommendations and ever-lasting gratitude.

I can't say enough about how kind you have been in helping us negotiate the waters, as it were, of buying a lake property. Your 14 years of wisdom and contacts on these lakes was invaluable and I feel like I've gotten a lifetime education from you on the ins and outs of living up there. I went back through all of our emails and I'm amazed by how much work you put into helping us, triaging our long list or properties, carting us around, and giving us honest and insightful pros and cons on each one.

When it came down to the house on Cherokee Trail and this one, I remember you saying that if we could somehow swing the finances for Meherrin Drive, we'll never be asking, "what if?" It wasn't easy, but we'll be fine now that we've sold our property here in Durham.

The more that I reflect on properties we've seen and others that are still listed, I think that you've enabled us to get the exact house and lot that we wanted and, more importantly, need. Heather will have a much-needed refuge from her work in caring for veterans at the hospital in Durham and Phoebe will have a great place to create memories with her friends and cousins, even when I stop being cool as she gets into the teenage years.

I'd love to catch up with you again when the weather gets nice and we can enjoy lunch and a beverage near or on the lake. You've chosen a great activity for your "retirement" and your interpersonal and business skills have served you - and all of your clients - exceedingly well. I'm so glad that our paths crossed and that we had you to guide us through this amazing purchase. Please also pass along our thanks to Marcia for everything she did behind the scenes.

Selling a home during tough economic times can be a very difficult endeavor. We attempted to sell our Lake Gaston home for three years. Our first meeting with Doug was a challenge. He was very upfront with us as to what we needed to do in order to sell our home. The information was not well received by us but led to some necessary changes on our part.

It turned out Doug's advice was right on the money. He accomplished what we had tried for years. In time we came to respect, appreciate and admire Doug's advice and professional approach.

The service Doug and Marcia Kerr provided us with unequaled professionalism, responsiveness, and integrity. Whether buying or selling you will find their attention to all aspects of the process amazing. At no time was there ever any fear something would "fall through the cracks" and jeopardize the sale. Selling our lake home was a difficult decision for us but Doug helped make the process as pleasant as possible.

There are many real estate agents at Lake Gaston but Doug and Marcia Kerr represent the best.

Exception is the rule to become a RE/MAX realtor. Not all who apply are successful. Doug and Marcia not only meet the RE/MAX requirements they excel among the best. You will never be pressured in any way because they love what they are doing and that turns the entire process into a pleasurable event. They are tireless, resourceful, and most of all "They Care." If you think the "American Way" has disappeared, then you need to deal with Doug and Marcia. It is a privilege to recommend Doug and Marcia Kerr, as it is a privilege to work with them and to now know them. - Richard and La Verne Mowbray - Client Buyers

Dear Marcia and Doug: I can not thank you enough for all that you have done for me in finding the home that was the perfect fit. You made this venture of mine so comfortable and easy. From the very start, the day we meet, you took me under your wing, had patience to explain all the things about lake life and it's different properties. Never pressured me at all. Worked with my time frame and were always available since I'm from New York and always getting lost. I've done many real estate deals in the past 20 years and this was the easiest. You guys had everything I needed from inspections to banks to lawyers. Even Doug had patience when I couldn't scan documents cause I didn't know how but I do now. Amazing how everything is done through computers today. How simple. I thank you again and again and if anyone is looking for a piece of paradise at Lake Gaston, I strongly advise you to go to RE/MAX On THE LAKE and ask for MARCIA or DOUG - Patty K - Client Buyer
