We worked with Tara to buy our first home in a region that was very new to us. All throughout the…read moreprocess we felt supported and informed, never pressured. 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!

My partner and I were referred to Tara by friends who had worked with her in the past. It's hard to…read moreoverstate just how instrumental Tara was in helping us with our first home buying experience. Her calm, clear and consistent communication was so incredibly vital during a traditionally stressful process. If you're looking to find a home in the WNC area, I highly recommend working with Tara!

Craig Severance was our Agent in finding the perfect house in Asheville. I can recommend him to…read moreanyone. What I really liked about Craig was, that he really listened to what we were trying to find, he was so easy to work with, and most importantly I really felt he was working for us and had our best interests in mind when we went through the buying process... 10 Stars for Craig!! We will definitely use him again!!!

We are SO glad to have had Rika Taylor as our Realtor. Here are a few reasons why:…read more 1. Rika has an eye like a hawk and she thinks out loud. Every house visit was like "going to school" because Rika analyzed everything (from the foundation to the gutters to the windows, etc) and explained what she was seeing and why it would matter to us in the long run. She was upfront and candid about flaws and things that would turn into future projects. We always felt in great hands and knew he had our best interests at heart. 2. She was patient and met us where we were in terms of our knowledge of the home-buying process. Over the course of our working relationship, she spent hours on the phone with us, walking us through different scenarios and helping us ensure we had everything financially to seize the right moment when it arrived. 3. She's savvy! She knows her market inside and out and, when we did find the right house, she helped us craft a solid, strategic offer that landed us our dream home! We would recommend Rika to our family, friends--anyone looking to buy a home in the Asheville area!

My husband and I were looking to sell and buy our home in the AVL area. After finding out we were…read morepregnant with our first child, this expedited our timeline and we needed a reliable realtor we could trust. We soon realized we made the right decision partnering with Darrell; from our first consultation, it was clear he was attention-oriented and detailed in his process. Darrell's advice was comprehensive with no stone left unturned, and we were able to get our house staged and sold within 1.5 months. We then decided to continue our partnership into the buying process, and Darrell continued to go above and beyond through his dedication to closing the deal on our dream home, and by proactively providing us with all the information we needed to make an informed buying decision and finalize the transaction as smoothly as possible. We are so happy to have moved into our new home within 4 months which leaves us with plenty of time to prepare for our new family. With that, I highly recommend Darrell for your real estate endeavors.

Darrell Hess is truly an excellent realtor and a genuinely warm, thoughtful, sincere, and down to…read moreearth person. As an out-of-state buyer, I relied heavily on his expertise, and he exceeded all expectations. Over the course of a more than a year-long search, he showed me at least 30 properties and went above and beyond by creating detailed video tours of homes when I couldn't be there in person. His deep knowledge of both the local market and construction was invaluable. His extensive experience allowed him to offer expert insights on remodeling options and property improvements that went far beyond what typical realtors could provide. When I finally found the right house, he managed every detail of the purchase process with remarkable attention and professionalism. He often rearranged his schedule to accommodate my last minute viewing requests, and never showed frustration when I was indecisive or picky. He was always calm, kind and focused in stressful situations. His stellar negotiation skills repeatedly led to exactly the outcome I was hoping for. I wholeheartedly recommend Darrell and feel so incredibly lucky that I found him to be my realtor.

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! As a R/E developer in another state, and very familiar with the realty community there, we highly recommend Jordan Lockaby and her team at Firefly Realty. SOLD!!

Had the most wonderful experience with Luiz & Jessi Leonetti as our realtors! We were looking to…read moremove to Asheville from Arizona, and Luiz was quick to find us many home options in our price range. When we toured homes with us, he was thorough and showed us the pros and cons of each home. You could tell he genuinely cared about getting us the home we needed vs trying to make a quick sale. His kindness and integrity really stood out to us! Our 5 year old son also loved him, and Luiz took the time to converse with our two children and make them feel comfortable. We only got to work with Jessi via email but loved every interaction we had with her. She was quick, thorough, and intelligent. We are so grateful they helped us find our dream home!

After closing on an older 1920s bungalow property, I had to take a moment to give a shout out to…read moreour Town and Mountain realtor, Luke Mansell. Luke lives and breathes real estate, and his knowledge of the industry is impressive. He navigated the multiple complexities of the sale of our old Asheville home like he's been doing this for decades. As the buyer threw curveballs, he intuitively knew their methods and motivations, and was able to counter and take care of business smoothly and very effectively. Luke was very responsive to our questions, and gave comprehensive answers. Aside from his professional abilities, Luke is a patient, level-headed, and kind individual. We felt like we had a true partner during the whole process, and we couldn't give him higher accolades!

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.

We have been planning a move from Florida to the Asheville area for a couple years now and have…read morecontacted a couple realtors before choosing Bret and his team. We are so glad we did because buying a property in NC while living in Florida came with a bunch of bumps in the road. All of these bumps became very smooth with the help of Bret and Amber. From FaceTime showings of potential properties, setting up appointments with contractors (and actually meeting them at the house to get quotes), putting us in touch with local vendors and even just simpler things like telling us great places to eat! Buying a house is stressful and I really could not have imagined doing this without them helping us along the way. We will definitely be recommending them to friends and family who also decide to move to the area. If you are looking to move to Asheville and are worried about buying a place while you live in another state, these are the people to help. I wish I would have found them way earlier in our house hunt. Thanks again!
