Any business who's completely dependent on return customers and referrals should be at the top of their game in customer service. EXIT has either forgotten that or has made so much money they have lost sight of it. Reality is EXIT will take advantage of anyone they think they can! Do yourself a BIG FAVOR and look into the top Realestate companies around the lake. COLDWELL, REMAX, POINT, ECT. Sad I have to take the time out of my schedule to post how bad this company is but if it saves others from being taken advantage of it's worth it.

My family has been coming to Lake Gaston (LKG) since our friends moved up fourteen years ago. As my…read morefamily aged, my children, who are now adults, would want to bring friends. That's too much to impose on your host, so I started renting houses at LKG through Story Properties for our summer LKG vacations. I was satisfied with all the rentals, some more than others naturally. There was one particular summer that was 'harsh' as my elderly mom was hospitalized, discharged, re admitted, transferred... You see where I going with this? An emotional, as well as physically draining time. I had rented a beautiful house for two weeks that year. Beth Story was more like a hostess than realtor. As I was having to move 'stuff' around to try & accommodate the different families, and drive 3 1/2 hours back & forth to Eastern NC to check on my folks, Beth & I became 'phone buddies'. She was just as supportive concerning my mom, as she was with handling the rental. We developed a trusted business connection. When I started looking at real estate to purchase at LKG, I went straight to Story Properties, which is owned & operated by Beth & Tommy Story. I am not the easiest or quickest to settle on property. They were always patient, honest & supportive with my inquiries. To make a long story short, I purchased a LKG home this year! They made the process as painless as it could be .....short of 'gifting' the home to me! Their recommendations for inspectors, contractors, lawyers, etc. were right on the money. The right people to match, not just the items of interests, but to my personality. Being a long distance purchase, they made themselves available to stand in for me when I was unable to be there & oversee different projects. Long story short? If you are in the market for rental property for vacations or to purchase, do yourself a favor & contact Beth & Tommy Story at Story Properties. I highly recommend them and their agency.

All they do is take a huge percentage of the proceeds and offer no services to our vacationers beyond minimal cleaning beforehand and NO support during their stay.

Story Properties, you should be ashamed of yourselves!
