Gabe Cicala serves as Director of Lake Norman Sales and Broker at Stone Realty Group, with 70-plus career transactions and $30M-plus in closed volume across five years of production in North Carolina and South Carolina. In 2025 alone he closed 29 transactions for $15.2M, and through the first half of 2026 has already recorded 14 transactions and $5.3M in volume. Stone Realty Group has recognized him as Strongest Negotiator, Top 3 Producer, and Stone Standard Excellence Award recipient. FastExpert named him a Top Agent. Zillow lists him as a Premier Agent with a perfect five-star rating across 37 reviews.

The negotiation record behind those titles is documented and specific. When a seller needed an offer improved, he moved the number from $1M to $1.13M. When a buyer needed protection, he secured a home 25% below list price and 18% below appraised value. Both outcomes were deliberate, not fortunate.

Before real estate, Gabe Cicala served as Director of Marketing inside a boutique Orlando brokerage under a mentor ranked in the top 0.001% of agents nationally, then managed construction projects across Pennsylvania including the closeout of a $25M elementary school build. He graduated summa cum laude from High Point University with a BBA, a concentration in entrepreneurship, and a minor in marketing. Those disciplines converge in the structure he brings to every transaction he runs.

His core markets cover the full Lake Norman corridor: Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, Denver NC, Sherrills Ford, Troutman, and Kannapolis, extending into the broader Charlotte MSA for move-up buyers, luxury listings, and out-of-state buyer representation. Families relocating from out of state work with him because he understands both the data and the psychology of every offer on both sides of the table.

Stone Realty Group, where Gabe Cicala leads Lake Norman sales, was recognized by Real Trends Verified in 2025 as the number one large team in Charlotte by transaction sides. Every listing moves through the Stone Selling System, a proprietary pricing and marketing framework built to protect seller equity from first showing to final signature.

Licensed in North Carolina and South Carolina. 2459 Wilkinson Blvd, Suite 310, Charlotte, NC 28208. Contact Gabe Cicala to buy, sell, or relocate along Lake Norman or anywhere in the greater Charlotte MSA.
