My husband and I were first time home buyers new to Asheville. 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!

I forgot to update this review. Nick and his wonderful assistant Renee did find us a home about 4…read moreyears ago, and we love it and feel lucky in retrospect. 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. Check him out.

I do not have enough words to express how much I love the people on this team! 3 1/2 years ago, my…read morehusband and I were looking to sale our home in the boonies and move closer to civilization. Our kiddos were growing up and in the stage of being everywhere all the time, so we needed to live closer to town. Matt came out to meet with us and evaluate our property. We had a tricky situation because we also owned and were selling my mother-in-law's home next door. There were weird right-of-way and well-sharing things to figure out since we would be selling the two homes separately. Matt and his team were on it. We had no stressors when it came to all of the crazy paperwork. My mother-in-law's home sold very quickly, and our home was not far behind! We were shocked with how fast everything happened. At the same time, we were on the search for a home that we could afford that would hold our big blended family. Enter Samantha Profetta...super realtor! She and her team helped us look all over Asheville until we found the first and only house my husband and I agreed on. Again, there were some funky issues to handle with the seller, and Samantha was all over it, making the process peaceful for us. We love where we live, and if we know anyone looking to buy or sell, we would recommend this team. If we ever move, they'll be the first call we make! In addition to all of the awesomeness during the buying and selling, Samantha calls us to check in, sends us home "anniversary" notes, and the team is always doing fun customer appreciation events. We just LOVE these people!

Everything from meeting with me the first time at the estate sale, to meeting with me and answering all of my questions while I was signing the initial paperwork. Maria got the house painted and cleaned in record time to get it on the market 3 days after I signed the paperwork. Then she reassured me about the crack in the wall and handled getting the radon issue taken care of. Maria even went and secured a new oil measuring stick when it went missing after a showing. Maria's professionalism and dedication to helping us prepare and sell Mom's house is to be commended. We could not have done it without her! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Firefly Realty agent Jordan Lockaby recently worked with us to sell some family property in…read moreHaywood County. She found us through a local inquiry that she received. Jordan provided a market/comp analysis of our property and after a site visit, she recommended a fine sales plan! We listed with Firefly on a Thursday, had two competitive offers by Sunday am and signed a contract that evening at a price exceeding our expectations! She and her Firefly Transaction Manager Jessica handled the many admin details, inspections, referrals and docs to affect a two-week close on the sale! Well Done. Jordan Lockaby's skillful lead, Firefly's staff resources, Keller-Williams' affiliation and efficient TEAM organization provided a smooth process for a successful sale!

From our first conversation, she was warm, knowledgeable, extremely organized and clear in her communication. We knew almost nothing about the home-buying process, let alone the complexities of the market in Asheville, and she made sure we understood and were aligned every step of the way. It took nearly a year to find our house in a rollercoaster market with a lot of ups and downs, but Anne Marie kept us level-headed and never rushed the process. She kept our needs and preferences as the top priority, gave us her honest opinion, and toured houses I'm sure she knew weren't the right fit in order to make sure we left no stone unturned. Once we were under contract, she took so much off our plates by helping us get quotes and expert opinions on multiple issues and meeting with countless vendors during the short due diligence period. We purchased our home without seeing it in person, which may not have been possible without her understanding of our taste and lifestyle needs. We're so lucky to have had such a patient and skilled agent when buying our first home. I can't recommend her enough!
