About Us

Robin Lindblad is our Director of Leasing and a Provisional Broker. She will walk you through the rental process from beginning to end. She is responsible for much of our marketing of rental properties on the website and MLS as an Agent Assistant. Robin is also our project person responsible for following up on insurances (tenants, owners, and vendors). On a personal note, Robin is the Director of the Elementary Children’s Program at her church and an annual ribbon winner in the cross-stitch competition at the NC State Fair in Raleigh each fall. She is here to help!!!

Sheila Hall is our Director of Accounting and an Agent Assistant. She is responsible for collecting funds, paying vendors, sending monthly checks/statements to the owners as well as real estate clerical work such as late letters and filling out the forms for any evictions that we may be required to do. Sheila inputs new properties/owners/tenants into our software system and is responsible for sending the Property Management Agreements to Owners and the Leases to tenants! As an aside, Sheila is an avid cross-stitcher and does diamond dotting. (If you don’t know what that is, just ask her! I’m sure she’d love to tell or show you!)

Gordon Baker is our Property Manager. He is the one to meet a new owner at a property to assess its validity as a rental investment. He determines what improvements must be accomplished to acquire the largest rental income per month and assists by researching a monthly rental value based on comps in the area. Gordon handles the maintenance for your investment and is your “go to�� person for both owners and tenants. He’s a licensed Realtor who lists investment homes for sale if you are ready to close out this part of life. Words about Gordon – he has the gift of calm in calamity – it must be from hanging with all his grandkids!

Vickie McDaniel is Owner/Broker in Charge of Gates Management & Realty. She has been serving some of you for over 28 years in both Rentals and Sales. It is her hope to continue to serve ALL your real estate needs for many years to come. Vickie is currently, at the state level, a Governor with NC Realtors for the Property Management Division for the next 2 years. She has worked on the forms committee for the last two years with Will Martin. Martin & Gifford have served our state as the general counsel for NC Realtors for many years and provide us with a legal hotline when we have questions and concerns. She is also a member and avid supporter NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers) where she learns what is happening locally and nationally so that her firm can keep up with the times, the trends and the economy. Vickie is gardener of lovely flowers, a cook (and lover of cookbooks), a reader, “wanna be” writer and an aunt to her first Great Nephew, Little Luke!

Len Moss has been a Realtor with Gates for many years. He teaches and eases the fears of first-time home buyers (or even those who have not purchased in a long time) as he walks you through the process of buying or selling. Real Estate rules and regs sometimes change annually so he keeps up with that knowledge for your protection. Len enjoys researching values for your home, land or commercial properties. His relaxation is reading novels and walking (outside or on the treadmill in his office). His collection of books continually changes as he purchases new novels and passes them on as he donates them to charities afterwards.

Murray Baldwin has been in real estate for many years. He is not only a Realtor, but a cattle farmer so he knows lots about farms, houses, and land. When you hear his voicemail saying he is “out in the field” that could be either the real estate field or the “real” field. Feel free to contact Murray with your real estate needs.
