Hi,
I’m Amy Mikeal and as a parent of four I know how important the right environment is for raising a family. It’s my goal as a Realtor to help every family find their perfect place to grow and thrive. I take great pride in not only my real estate knowledge but also my previous experiences in the home appraisal and construction fields. As a young wife and mother I personally supervised the construction of our first family home and that in turn spurred on my passion for reality. I began my journey in the home appraisal field then shifted my focus later on as I grew more interested in other areas including mortgage loan processes.
Originally from upstate NY, my family and I moved to the Catawba Valley region when I was in middle school. I immediately fell in love with the people and surroundings that reminded me of the beautiful area where a large number of my family still live.
Currently, when my parenting skills are not in demand, I keep myself busy by volunteering with my large church community and at my church's youth group. I also love finding time to relax and just mow the yard. Seeing a beautifully mown lawn gives me a great sense of satisfaction.
Meet Monica Setzer, a dynamic real estate professional originally from the scenic state of Connecticut, infused with the vibrant culture of her Argentine heritage and strong Italian roots. Monica has seamlessly blended her diverse background with a passion for real estate, making her a standout in the industry.
At home, Monica thrives as the proud parent of three energetic, soccer-loving children. Her dedication to family is evident as she actively participates in her kids' extracurricular activities, whether it’s cheering from the sidelines or organizing sports fundraisers. Her commitment to her community goes beyond her family, as she frequently steps into local schools as a substitute teacher, nurturing not only her own children but also the future of the community.
In real estate, Monica is far more than an agent—she's a trusted advocate and guide. Her approach centers on the belief that knowledge is power, and she takes pride in educating her clients throughout the process, ensuring they understand every aspect of their transaction. Her dedication to transparency fosters trust and ease for buyers and sellers alike.
Monica's expertise extends beyond just local transactions; she excels in helping out-of-state buyers transition seamlessly into the area while also assisting clients moving elsewhere. Whether local or out-of-state, her goal is always the same: to provide an exceptional real estate experience.
With Monica, you get the best of both worlds—professionalism paired with a warm, approachable personality. She is your go-to real estate expert, community advocate, and friendly neighborhood substitute teacher, making the journey of buying or selling a home not only successful but enjoyable.

Miss "Tessa-on-the-Spot"!!
We never missed an update. We were informed every step of the way where things stood, what was needed, who we needed to speak with. She gave up whole days running us around town, looking at homes. Always with a smile and a laugh. Always going the extra mile to see that things got done on time!

Jeff made buying easy. Honest, responsive, and highly recommend!
Jeff Dease made the entire buying process incredibly easy from start to finish. From the very first interaction, it was clear that he values honesty, transparency, and customer satisfaction above all else. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, answered every question thoroughly, and never once made me feel rushed or pressured into making a decision. His responsiveness stood out immediately—whether it was a quick text, a phone call, or an update during the process, he was always available and quick to reply, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. What really set Jeff apart was his integrity. In an industry where it can sometimes be difficult to know who to trust, he was straightforward, upfront, and genuinely focused on making sure I felt confident in my purchase. He explained every detail clearly, walked me through each step, and made sure there were no surprises along the way. That level of care and professionalism is rare and deeply appreciated. Beyond just the transaction itself, Jeff created a comfortable and positive experience. He treated me with respect, listened carefully to my needs, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled properly. It never felt like just a sale—it felt like working with someone who truly cares about building long-term trust and relationships with his clients. I would highly recommend Jeff Dease to anyone looking for a smooth, honest, and hassle-free buying experience. If you want someone who is reliable, responsive, and genuinely committed to doing things the right way, Jeff is the person to work with. I would not hesitate to work with him again in the future and will confidently refer others to him knowing they will be in good hands.

Cross-Country Move!
We very much enjoyed working with Kelly! We moved from WA to NC and we weren’t sure what we were looking for- land to build, house with acreage, house on the lake, townhome, rental! We were all over the place and Kelly was patient with us and had searches going for all those options lol. She made sure to be available for us when we flew in the few times and when we weren’t in town she would FaceTime with us and walk through the homes and properties to show us. She also had recommendations for us where to store our cars, look for furniture, house cleaners, etc. planning to call up Kelly for any future house sales or purchases!
