He started high and we only heard from him if I initiated a request for a conference call. He would then scrabble to get data to review on the call. Most of the time, we had to reschedule because he didn't call in. We had our first and only contract on it and he did nothing. He was NOT engaged with the closing attorney and the deal fell through. He listed property and did NOTHING. Hired someone from Atlanta and in this than 5 weeks on the market, we got a full price / cash offer.

I was walking down Broadway and stopped to look at the listings on the window of the real estate office. I walked in and was promptly greeted by Joan Monroe. She was extremley friendly and very helpful. She quickly offered to add me to her email list, so I could get new and current listings in the area and so she could keep in contact with me. I found a couple of listings of intrest and she quickly offered to take me out and show them to me. Although I wound up not getting the job (and not moving to the area), she was by far the best Realtor I have ever met! Two thumbs up!

Not only was she rude beyond what I can even say in public, but she took complete advantage of my group and overcharged us by several hundred dollars. I've heard from people in town that this is not the first time she has done something like this and most citizens of Black Mountain wouldn't even recommend staying at her property. Pass this one by folks. It wasn't worth it!

Her knowledge of the area and the right people to get jobs done made everything easier. Every time we hit what felt like a roadblock she was in the background deftly working to make it more of a small speed bump. Her communication was not only timely, but often preempted our needs, it was amazing. Throughout the entire process the one consistent comment that my boyfriend and I kept saying to each other was "thank goodness we found Shannon." It's difficult to capture how truly amazing our experience was thanks to Shannon and Freestone Properties.

I'm not sure how else to say that Tara was really everything we hoped we would be able to find in a relator. It was fun to "shop" with her, and when we got serious about a couple of properties she went to bat for us in every possible way. As were were navigating this process partly remotely, Tara went above and beyond to provide virtual showings for us and attending important events in the process in person that we were not able to be present for. Tara was quick to respond to all of our queries, and always took the time to communicate and help us find answers to our questions. I can not recommend Tara Thompson highly enough!
