Sunny Yates

23 years on Lake Norman

Broker / Owner

I have been selling homes on Lake Norman for twenty-three years, and I still work the way I did when I started. You call, and you get me. The number on this page is my personal number.

That time on one lake is worth something to you. I know which coves hold the evening light, which docks were permitted properly, and what the house two doors down actually closed at. If a house has a problem, you will hear it from me before you drive out to see it.

Buying or selling a home is a big decision and rarely only a financial one. My job is to give you straight answers, keep the process calm, and be someone you would happily call again.

She is very knowledgable, quick to respond, easy to work with, kind, friendly, and very patient! Our home was a unique property and Sunny helped us to come up with a great sales strategy. I felt secure in every step of the home selling process working with Sunny. We had a lot of hiccups, and bumps along the road and Sunny helped us through all of them. Choose Sunny and you will be so glad you did!

  • My wife and I recently had the most professional and enjoyable experience purchasing a home with Sunny. She was there every step of the way and candidly this was the best home search / purchase we've ever had and we have lived in 3 states with over 10 home purchases.

  • Simply put, there is no better real estate experience other than working with Sunny Yates! I have been a licensed realtor for 22 years, and hired Sunny to help me purchase a home in the Charlotte area. As a professional, I know what it takes to be a really good agent. Sunny has so far surpassed my expectations!! She is a superb professional: knowledgeable, very attentive, knows her market, is excellent on follow through and follow up, had solutions in place and made our multiple offer situation pleasant and enjoyable.
