Mahalia Kennedy is amazing! She was referred to me by a friend. As a typical first time home buyer,…read moreI required guidance and handholding. Mahalia was with me every step of the way with knowledgeable insights, practical information, constant contact and an awesome personality. On our first meeting, we spent a couple of hours on the Appalachian Realty couch going through the mls. Mahalia listened attentively to my responses and feedback in order to understand my priorities, preferences and what I was looking for in general. As someone looking for a "fixer upper," she envisioned new layouts with me as we walked through each showing without putting any pressure on me to buy. She pointed out architectural nuances and features that I wouldn't have considered (but would have regretted after purchase). Her vast remodeling experience was absolutely invaluable to me. Her network of laborers, fixers and do-ers came in with estimates for everything from hvac to pest control to removing popcorn ceilings. Mahalia is an asset in very facet of home buying and owning. The friend who had referred me had been looking for a turn key home, which she found for him on a very tight budget (which is virtually impossible within the current Asheville market). The only disadvantage to finding my perfect home was losing my frequent texts and visits with this fabulous gal!!

We moved to Asheville in 2018 and after a year and a half in our apartment I knew time time was…read morecoming to look into purchasing our own home - afterall, this city is our home now. Some account on Instagram asked if followers had any questions about real estate. I asked my question and Deanna answered, even though she wasn't the hired "expert" by the account. She was knowledgeable and I decided to take a chance and connect with her. I'm so incredibly glad I did. Deanna was always available to text and chat with me (within reason of course. No texting at midnight). She was there to keep this stressful experience as easy as possible. When we would think something was just normal for the negotiating process she would have a righteous indignation "No, they need to do this! That's ridiculous!" So that was awesome. So professional, knows what she's doing and was totally honest with us about decisions we had to make. I trusted her when she recommended certain things (which I'm so glad I did!) Deanna is a fantastic realtor with Mountain Star and you really need her help when looking for your home in/around Asheville.

Bobbi is the absolute BEST. We (and our family) have been working with her for several years on…read moredifferent real estate ventures. This was a big one for us, because we were moving to the area and had to do a lot of planning around our touring (& closing) which Bobbi helped us navigate smoothly without missing a beat. From the start of our search through closing she was there for us every step of the way for ALL our random concerns. Her experience was critical--especially with our lack of it. She truly cares about finding the perfect place for her clients to call home and taught us so much throughout the entire process. Her communication, negotiation, and care for what she does is above and beyond most realtors in the market today. We're so thankful for her and highly recommend!!!

We were also looking in the Asheville area about 4 hours away from where we lived at the time and it was tremendously helpful that she could check out the house and do a video showing for us. We trusted her judgement 100%. The icing on the cake is that she is such a good person! She donated a portion of her commission to the charity of our choice. I also can't stress enough how helpful her knowledge is and the great communication she provided throughout the process. Thanks Bobbi!

Was recommended to this agency by some friends in the area, and they definitely delivered!…read more Alan started off pretty standard fare for a realtor, giving lists of houses, etc., and then got better from there. First, he started finding specific in properties that met our needs (which was highly important for the distance of our move), then started actually going to and showing us properties from a video call (we were in TX at the time), and eventually helped us find the perfect home for us by doing so. Next, he helped me with pricing in an offer that lined up well with our budget and the value of the home, and then when inspections were done started guiding us in where to push for concessions, etc. At this point this is already a 5-star experience, but it doesn't stop there. I mention to Alan my plans for financing the house, and he points me at a local lender that will have literally saved me tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan, and then, fast forward to closing day (when we finally arrived here), and he gets a couple minor things resolved well beyond our expectations (saving us another few hundred dollars). I'd say that I'd use his services again, and if I'm ever moving again I definitely will, but he did such a great job that I'll probably never need a realtor again. If you're looking for a new house, it'd be a mistake to not talk to and consider Alan Wray of Heartwood Realty.
