Stone Realty Group is proud to announce that Gabe Cicala has been named Director of Lake Norman Sales. The appointment formalizes a focus that has defined Gabe's work for years and gives buyers and sellers on the lake a clear, single point of leadership for one of the most distinctive markets in the Charlotte region.

Gabe Cicala leads Stone Realty Group's Lake Norman luxury home practice.

A Market That Rewards Specialization

Lake Norman is not a market you serve casually. Waterfront and water-access homes carry considerations that rarely appear elsewhere: dock permits and shoreline rights, cove versus main-channel exposure, bridge clearances, water depth, and the way a sunset hits a particular lot. Pricing a lake estate well, and marketing it to the right buyer, takes someone who lives in those details every week.

That is the case for naming a director. In five years as a licensed broker in North Carolina and South Carolina, Gabe has closed more than 70 transactions and over $30M in career volume, with his practice centered on the Lake Norman corridor. A Mooresville resident himself, he knows this market not only as an agent but as a neighbor. His work spans Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, and Mooresville, including the waterfront and golf communities of The Peninsula and The Point.

What This Means for Clients

For sellers, it means listings on Lake Norman are led by an agent whose entire practice is built around the lake, supported by the full Stone Realty Group marketing, operations, and contract-to-close team.

For buyers, it means guidance from someone who can tell you what a property is really worth on the water and what it will be like to live there, not just what the listing sheet says.

It also means a clearer path to the right answer on the questions that matter most on the lake: which coves hold value, where the water access is genuine versus nominal, and how to position a home so it reaches buyers who are specifically looking for life on Lake Norman.

In Gabe's Words

"Lake Norman has been the center of my business for a long time, so stepping into this role feels like a natural next chapter," said Gabe Cicala, Director of Lake Norman Sales. "My focus is simple: generate more effective results in this market than anyone else, and make sure every client on the lake feels that difference from the first conversation to the closing table."

From the Founder

"Gabe earned this. He has become one of the most knowledgeable people on Lake Norman, and naming him director reflects what our clients on the lake already experience when they work with him," said Matt Stone, Founder and Managing Partner of Stone Realty Group. "It also sharpens how we show up in this market. When someone is looking for a true Lake Norman specialist, we want the answer to be obvious."
