Jayne Cantello: A Hands-On Approach to Real Estate on Lake Norman

For Jayne Cantello, real estate isn’t just about buying and selling homes—it’s about understanding the details, solving problems, and making sure her clients feel confident and supported every step of the way. Since 2017, Jayne has built a reputation as one of the most trusted agents in the Lake Norman area, known for her deep market expertise, sharp negotiation skills, and hands-on approach to helping clients navigate both the real estate market and the unique challenges of lakefront properties.

Jayne’s journey to real estate was anything but conventional. Growing up, she spent her evenings  working alongside her general contractor father, restoring old homes and developing an appreciation for craftsmanship, structure, and problem-solving. That experience, combined with her business degree and biotech sales experience, sharpened her ability to strategize, negotiate, and advocate fiercely for her clients.

More Than a Realtor: A True Partner in the Process

What sets Jayne apart is her hands-on, investigative  approach, focused on minimizing surprises during the home buying process. While many agents rely solely on inspectors and contractors after a contract is written, Jayne takes the initiative to proactively check attics, crawlspaces , ceiling heights, measure dock piers and water depths and anything else of particular interest to a client. She believes that the more she helps a seller or buyer understand a property at its core, the better she can serve

Her proactive nature ensures that potential problems are identified early, looked into by professional inspectors and resolved efficiently, whether she’s representing a buyer or seller. She has built a network of trusted contractors, inspectors, and specialists who help her clients navigate even the most complex transactions.

Handling Challenges with Confidence

Every real estate transaction comes with challenges—especially in a market like Lake Norman, where lakefront properties have unique considerations, from dock regulations to water levels and projection lines. Jayne’s ability to remain calm, levelheaded, and diplomatic has made her a trusted guide for clients navigating these complexities.
