Dora went above and beyond, for me, in selling my home. Her vast knowledge of Lake Gaston and surrounding areas was definitely evident. Any issue that came up, she was supportive of me, and worked tirelessly to make the sale of my home happen. I appreciate Dora’s work ethic, always keeping me informed, and her honesty.
If you are trying to sell your home or are interested in buying a new home, I highly recommend Dora Smith.

Working with Mrs. Bishop was An Absolute Pleasure.
This was my first time purchasing property.
She made the Process Easy.
She kept regular communication with me to give me updates.
Oftentimes, she would work way before the office was open, and often work late in night... That's Dedication.
I am So Happy to Have worked with Her...
On a scale of 1- 5...
She's Definitely gets 5 Stars🌟
I Would Recommend her & her Company to Everyone.
Sincerely,
Gloria Hancock

Marissa did a great job as our buyer's agent for our recent home purchase. She offered sound advice while we were negotiating price with the sellers, which was a somewhat slow and tedious process. We ended up with a sixty-day closing window, but she stayed on top of all the deadlines and was responsive to all of our questions during that time. She also was able to recommend capable local providers to help with any services we needed. I definitely would recommend Marissa for any realty needs!

Dora was great to work with. She took the reins from the time we put in an offer and kept us on schedule with inspections, repairs and negotiating all the way to closing. She was knowledgeable in the market and knew what to offer to secure the property. We will use Dora as our local Realtor from now on. Thanks, Dora, for representing us so well, caring about our needs and helping us so well. We know she had other clients but she made us feel like we were the only one she was working with.

Dora was great, always responded quickly to any inquiries or questions. Everyone she brought into our purchase process was easy to work with, and did their jobs flawlessly. Getting things done at LKG can sometimes be a challenge, Dora make our experience smooth and pain free.

Dora is excellent! She is very responsive, proactive and obviously experienced. She is friendly, accommodating and flexible. She took care of everything for us in a timely manner.

I highly recommend Marissa Smith for all your real estate needs. She has sold several properties for us and always exceeds our expectations. If you are buying or selling, I would reach out to Marissa first as she is knowledgeable of our Lake Gaston market area and property values and she is very compassionate in what she does. She follows up on calls or questions timely and manages the process so we don't have to worry about missing a deadline. Marissa is the Best agent in our area.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars — Truly Exceptional
Dora was nothing short of incredible. From the very beginning, she was responsive, knowledgeable, calm under pressure, and deeply invested in making sure everything went smoothly. This was not a simple or stress-free transaction, yet she consistently showed up with clarity, professionalism, and reassurance exactly when it mattered most.
What truly sets Dora apart is that she doesn’t just “do her job” — she advocates. She anticipated issues before they arose, knew exactly who to call and when, and guided me through every step with confidence and care. There were multiple moments where her experience and connections made what felt impossible suddenly manageable. In one of the most significant and emotionally charged seasons of my life, she was steady, honest, and trustworthy. If you want a realtor who is competent, communicative, and truly on your side, Dora is the one.
I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Had a great experience with Dora. She helped us check out Lake Gaston and viewed a number of different properties with different advantages. She worked with us on our timeline and ultimately helped us through the process of finding and buying a great lake house that met our needs.

Dora helped us find a house in 2015. We were so satisfied with that experience we asked her to list that same home to sell in 2025. Dora did an excellent job helping us to get our house ready to sell and advising us on the right price to list it at. We received multiple offers within two days. She also did a great job being a liaison between us and the buyers through the entire closing process. Doras knowledge and expertise was invaluable.We would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house.
Marissa helped us find our dream home! As a first time home buyer, this whole process can be very daunting. Marissa made it so easy and enjoyable. She was always professional and very responsive. We cannot recommend her enough!

Dora was awesome! Easy to work with, responsive, and really seemed to know the area well. She set up at the inspections we needed and negotiated well on our behalf. Thanks Dora!
