What My Clients Say
«While looking for a house in Lake Norman North Carolina we met Michael. He spent a great deal of time and effort over the course of a year until he found us the perfect house to make the home of our dreams. He was always courteous and patient with us even though we might have drove him nuts. He always got right back to us with any questions we had. It has been a pleasure working with him. We give him our highest recommendation and we could think of no one else if we or any friends would ever need a realtor.»
Bob & Gail R
«My wife and I have 2 young children and recently moved from Michigan. We were looking for properties in the Lake Norman area of North Carolina and e-mailed Mike Spruell with some questions regarding a home he had listed for sale. Mike responded immediately to our e-mail and included additional information and photos to assist in bridging the distance and giving us a better feel for the property. We decided not to go with the original property, but were so taken by Mike’s professionalism and courtesy that we made a trip down to NC to have him show us additional properties. Mike’s knowledge of the Lake Norman and Charlotte real estate market was superior allowing us to know that we were in the very best of hands. Mike also was very knowledgable about the school districts in the area which was incredibly helpful in making our final home decision. We would certainly recommend Mike Spruell to anyone looking for a home in the Lake Norman or Charlotte areas of North Carolina!! Thanks Mike for everything, we couldn’t have done this without you!!»
The Markleys
When Mike helped us sell our house recently, he was consummately professional from the beginning to the end. We couldn’t have been more pleased with his skills and service.

Aerial Photography
We use a drone to capture aerial photos of your property. Aerial photography is a great way to make your property stand out from the rest. And we’ve all heard the phrase:
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
We all know that location is one of the key selling points for almost any property, so any way to highlight the benefits of your property’s location is a definite win.
Aerial shots are a great way to give more location information to potential buyers. For example, you can highlight the nearby amenities to show just how prime your piece of real estate is. And as you probably guessed, highlighting the location features is especially beneficial if you’re marketing to out-of-town buyers who aren’t familiar with the area.
More benefits of aerial photos:
- Aerial photography reduces days on the market by 32% on average.
- Aerial photos result in a higher sales price, about 5.25% on average.
- Aerial photography highlights property features, landmarks, and amenities that a regular ground level shot could never show.
- Aerial photographs create a higher perceived value.
Example aerial photos:

We provide a flyer box for your front yard with a professional flyer that captures leads with a text code.
We also provide an in-house brochure for home buyers to take with them after the showing so that it is easier for them to remember your house. Buyers typically view 8 to 10 homes in a day and our brochure will help them remember why they choose to see your home and will point out the key features to stand out from the other homes they toured.

In the era of the internet and viral marketing, where the customer experience comes first, there is hardly any other more engaging marketing tool in the real estate domain than the virtual tour.
Furthermore, using the internet to reach a greater number of potential buyers is not a novelty anymore and the real estate market is not an exception to the rule. Statistics clearly show that over 90% real estate buyers search the internet before actually visiting a property.
We will create a dynamic virtual show that gets buyers attention. Your tour will be linked to your MLS listing which will grab even more buyers attention on top real estate websites such as Realtor.com, zillow and Trulia.
Here is an example virtual tour: http://tourwizard.net/59416/
