Melissa and Eric Sanchez share their cross-country journey from California to New Jersey to North Carolina – and how hospitality and retail backgrounds shaped a real estate practice built on service, clear communication, and steady guidance. 

They break down what relocation buyers really need, how to “level-set” expectations, and why Lake Norman’s lifestyle (boating, golf, pickleball, greenways, and year-round amenities) keeps winning hearts. 

Plus: practical market context for 2025 and first-time buyer encouragement, plus a Chamber-of-Commerce-style tour of what they love most locally.
