About Pilar
Growing up on Long Island, I was fortunate to be surrounded by water, and I never imagined leaving. Yet, life often takes us in unexpected directions. When we discovered Lake Norman and moved to the “Denver of the East,” it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. My three children thrived in this picturesque lake community, making lifelong friends and attending outstanding schools. Lake Norman quickly became our true home, and I’ve fully embraced the local spirit by getting involved in the community and contributing to its continued growth. With a background in education, I’ve developed a deep understanding of people, which naturally led to my dream profession as a Realtor®. My role allows me to continue fostering relationships and helping people, which has always been my passion, just in a new way. Buying or selling a home is one of the most significant investments you’ll make, and I am committed to guiding you through the process with care and expertise. I take pride in listening to your needs, answering every question, and working tirelessly to help you achieve your goals. I’ll be with you every step of the way, ensuring the experience is smooth, memorable, and stress-free. Since joining Lake Norman Realty, I’ve been honored as a top performer in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. I was proud to receive the Eagle Award in 2023 and 2024 for having over $12 million in sales and new listings, as well as the Platinum Level Sales Award for more than $8 million in closed sales. Additionally, I’ve been recognized as the top sales agent and top closing agent on numerous occasions, with achievements in December 2020, February 2021, July 2022, and April 2023, April 2024, May 2024, June 2024 and July 2024. Among other accolades, I’ve received the Gold Level Sales Award (2021), the Listing Achiever Award, and invitations to the Outstanding Sales Production trip in 2021, 2023 and 2024. Building lasting relationships with my clients is my top priority, and I’m especially proud of earning the Rising Star Professional Award, Silver Level Sales Award, and Service Associate recognition in 2022. I’ve also served as an Advisory Council Associate for the Denver office over the past four years. To better serve my clients, I have pursued additional certifications and am now designated as a Seller Representative Specialist (SRS®), Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®), Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), and Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), all recognized by the National Association of Realtors® (NAR). I also teach new agents at LNR which not only keeps me abreast of all changes from NCREC but fulfills my passion for always learning and growing through teaching.

About Marty
I am a top-producing real estate professional specializing in luxury homes, waterfront properties, and commercial opportunities throughout the Lake Norman region. My approach is built on strategic marketing, strong negotiation, and a commitment to delivering an elevated client experience in every transaction. I have consistently ranked among the top agents in the region, including being in the Top 3% of REALTORS® in the Charlotte market (#295 out of 18,000 REALTORS® in the area for 2026), named a Top Sales Producer with the Lincoln County Board of REALTORS® for 2023, 2024, and 2025, as well as Lake Norman Realty’s Top Sales Agent in Denver, NC for four consecutive years (2022–2025). In 2025, I was honored as the Top Sales Associate company-wide and recognized as a Top Commercial Agent within Lake Norman Realty in both 2024 and 2025. My work has been featured in Lake Norman Media’s “Who’s Who” (2022, 2025) and on the cover of Top Agent Magazine (2021). I was also recognized early in my career as a Five Star Professional Rising Star in 2020 and a Five Star Professional Nominee the same year, and received Lake Norman Realty’s Success Award for Outstanding Sales Performance in 2018. These accomplishments reflect a consistent track record of performance, market expertise, and dedication to helping clients achieve exceptional results in one of North Carolina’s most competitive real estate markets. My experience speaks for itself, with over 50 million in sales and numerous accolades, I am a trusted source to help you navigate purchasing or selling in our beloved area!

About Carrie
I'm a native of Lake Norman (I know, shocking!) and I'm thrilled to be raising my two kids here also. My husband is a new construction builder also in and around the LKN area. We spend our free time enjoying all this area has to offer including quick trips to the NC mountains and the coast. My daughter and I spend as much time as we can on the back of a horse and my husband and son golf and build things!

Excellent, professional and reliable

Excellent, professional and reliable

I cannot recommend Deanna Galloway highly enough! Since we lived far away from the home we were selling, we were naturally anxious about managing the process from a distance. However, Deanna completely eliminated all of our stress. Her communication was flawless, and responses were incredibly fast no matter the day including helping during the weekends. What truly set her apart was how she went above and beyond by assisting with hands-on home care while we were away. Locally checking on the property gave us complete peace of mind. She helped us price our property perfectly inline with similar homes in the area. Because we were remote, we also relied heavily on her professional network. She highly recommended exceptional home contractor services to handle key property repairs before listing. Everyone they connected us with was reliable, fair, and did amazing work. If you want a professional, dedicated, and highly reliable realtor who truly cares about their clients, look no further than Deanna Galloway!

An Out-of-State Success Story: Working with Pilar

An Out-of-State Success Story: Working with Pilar

Moving to North Carolina from out of state was a major life transition, but working with Pilar made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We began our journey with her in 2024 when we were still in the early stages of planning. During our initial visits, Pilar patiently showed us various properties without ever making us feel rushed. Because we weren't ready to move right away, Pilar set us up on a listing notification program. This was incredibly helpful, as it allowed us to follow the North Carolina housing market in real-time from our home out of state. It kept us informed and connected to the market until the timing was right for us to make our move. Our goal was to settle into a 55+ neighborhood, and this past summer, Pilar introduced us to the Del Webb community. She understood exactly what we were looking for, and with her expert guidance, we successfully bought our beautiful new home. We are incredibly grateful for Pilar’s patience, knowledge, and dedication, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to relocate.
