I must say this company has impressed me a great deal…read more.. Simply put i call them the fixers...I previously had a dispute with a rental company. That did absolutely NOTHING...and left my place unrentable for months. I called them and in less in a month in a half they manged to not only get my property rented..But they were also to able to fix the damage to my property as well...as i said they truly are the fixers...They fix problems other rental companies make....and they get things done as fast as humanly possible for you There communication is fabulous.

There web site is clear and the photos they take are great...They work hard and they work with you to get your place rented and make you feel your in good hands...And with me being over 2000 miles away that's all the security and trust i need... So if you ever need a responsible and reliable management company for your property this is truly the place to go.... :)

I was severely disappointed in the property management of where we stayed, the Gateway Getaway. The…read moresheets were not cleaned prior to our arrival. There was a bloody bandage on the comforter, stains all over the sheets, and some sort of bodily gunk, possibly boogers? That was our best guess. On top of finding all of those goodies, there were never clear instructions provided for the gate. The fact there was a gate is mentioned, but the physical place of the gate opener was never stated. Since that was the case, we had issues getting into the property. We tried contacting the management company multiple ways - phone calls and email messages across multiple days with no response until we contacted VRBO. It's also falsely advertised as 35 minutes from Asheville, expect a 45 minute drive. Not only was the cleanliness questionable, but the management was horrific. If I could give negative stars I would.

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!

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.

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.

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.

We didn't know anyone out here, so…read morewe asked our mortgage loan officer for agent recommendations and chose Nick Hinton out of the bunch after seeing some great reviews for him online. Judging from my own experience, those reviews were well deserved! Nick and his assistant Renée were invaluable to our search. They were prompt and patient, responding to our questions and concerns as people new to the process, and it was clear they were experts. He was also quick to show up for viewings, which put us at ease. Nick came through with excellent recommendations for specialists when it came time for inspections, and a contractor who could answer some questions we had about modifying the property we hoped to purchase. The people here are also great to work with. When you talk to them, you feel they really care about making sure you find a house or property that checks the boxes and one that makes you happy. And when it came time to make the bid, we followed Nick's advice and landed our dream home in this wild and competitive market. We're glad Nick is committed to not just building but maintaining relationships with his clients because he really is a priceless resource!

It was probably a good thing we didn't get some of the houses we bid on. It was a tough environment back in 2021 when we closed on this house. It probably still is for those looking now. Nick and Renee were tenacious, as this market requires. Nick is not your typical realtor. He keeps it real. He's authentically Asheville even though he originates in California like me.
