Pro: 1. good…read morelocation, walking distance to most stores, downtown, restaurants, hospital, and gas station. 3. Reasonably priced, unfurnished. 2. Maintenance guy is super friendly, sweet and helpful. He is the least appreciated person by the owner of the property. 3. Relatively safe, although I have heard gun shots followed by police cars before. 4. Neighbors keep to themselves. 5. Water cost is included for now. 6. Comes with adorable stray cats, most neighbors feed them, while the landlord expressed hatred toward these defenseless souls. Con: 1. House feels weathered. I had leaky window and faucet when I first moved in. The walls are thin, there is little privacy even though this is a town house. The floor was so dirty that after 6 months of living here and moping the floor everyday, the water still comes out black. The carpet is old with stains everywhere. 2. No pet policy, nothing at all, not even if you want to look after your friend's hamster for a few days. 3. Sketchy neighbors. The place asks everyone to pay $25 for background check, but I doubt they do the checks, because even the rats living in my attic can tell some of them were drug dealers. 4. Condescending owner who is always on the defense when talking to you. She always assumes her tenants are either retarded or taking advantages of her. 5. I kept reporting water leakage in my apartment and the only time she sent someone to fix it was when they realized their water bill was off the roof. Property owner doesn't even bother to hire a professional when the water pipe broke, the poor maintenance guy had to fix it by himself. Or they stopped the water on purpose to keep the water bill down, who knows, the owner is not that trust worthy. 6. No recycle bin, stray cats come feast in the dumpster all the time. Overall: It is decent place for a temporary stay if you want to save money. Semi-family friendly, not pets friendly (not sure if I trust people who cannot love animals), not environmental friendly. You are stuck with rats as pets when you move in and free alarm clocks when neighbors wake up at 4 or 5 AM for work, and you'll never be late for work. It is very hard to find apartment in this area. I suggest you look at Hickory. I have also noticed it is almost impossible to get a good deal on Internet in Lenoir. If you work in Lenoir, the drive from Hickory is still totally worth it.

Knowledgeable and trustworthy. Niki and Skylar both made selling my home one of the easiest…read moreexperiences that I have had as homeowner. They were attentive to details, kept me informed and had the best negotiating skills that made the whole transaction move smoothly from start to finish. The genuine concern, the down home personalities and the fun way that made every conversation feel as if I had known them for years. It was a comfortable feeling. I highly recommend Niki and Skylar whether you are buying or selling. They are the best in my opinion.

We are looking to relocate from CA to NC, and after dealing with some agents will little success…read more(especially limited interaction), we discovered Katie and Adriano Lamboglia of True North Realty in Morganton, NC, specifically through YouTube videos with Adriano and Sean Cutchens (financing) discussing the advantages of moving to the Morganton, NC area. The immediate reaction was to the response time... Katie is on the ball, responds in a very short time, and is extremely helpful with any questions we have. Very knowledgeable, very helpful! Both Katie and Adriano have taken videos within listings we're curious about, and Katie has had us on FaceTime through two (one of the listings disappeared off the market for unknown reasons, nothing to do with TNR). We've also been working with Sean on the financing end of things, and has been equally professional, timely and helpful. Without hesitation, we recommend Katie and Adriano Lamboglia of True North Realty. We feel like we know them like old friends, and we look forward to staying friends once we get our act together and move out that way! Remember to check out their videos on YT as well. ~ Vince & Kat W.

Made offer on a house that this Team(Pamela) had listed. Pamela clearly stated to my Agent we…read morewould have an answer back by mid afternoon yesterday. As we were all on pins & needles, we didn't get our answer until after 10AM this morning. My agent called Pamela, text her, and sent her emails, with no replies. To say the least, I didn't get much sleep last night. How inconsiderate of her not to reach out to all the people who made offers on this property/their agents to just let them know there had been a delay. Not a very caring Agent, knowing clients/buyers are waiting. I prefer considerate agents/team members. One who realizes buyers are anxiously waiting to hear if their offer was accepted. There are tons of RE Agents out there, and who want your business, and this isn't a team I would recommend based on the experience I had this past weekend. If you are searching for an agent/team who understands your time, and who is considerate, caring and compassionate......search elsewhere!

To make this process even more challenging, my wife was 6 months pregnant with our first child. We flew out to Charlotte on Thanksgiving night to look at houses. Kelly Smith was the realtor my wife was working with, and since she was going to be out of town for the holiday, Kent Temple filled in for her. From the first 5 minutes after meeting Kent, you know you are in good hands. Kent makes you feel like you are part of his family, hes honest, willing to help in any way, and will answer any kind of crazy questions you may have...trust me, I ask all kinds of questions. Unfortunately we were not able to find a home when we went looking with Kent, and Kelly was able to pick up where Kent left off. Since we were in a hurry to move, Kelly helped up find a rental while we look for a house to buy. I cant begin to say enough good things about Kelly. She is one of the most organized, helpful, and willing to show as many houses as it takes. Kelly was always available to us and would always promptly respond to email / calls. Kelly over communicates in order to be very clear that she understands what we want and that we understand what she advises. We felt very comfortable working with Kelly as she did not push us into homes nor did she push us away from homes. Instead she asked us how we felt about the home after each visit and let us come to our own decisions. If we were unsure, we asked her for her personal/professional opinion and only then would she influence our decision. What you look for when you choose a realtor may be different for everyone, but I can vouch that with Kelly and the Temple Team you will get someone who will do her best to help you get the home that you want

Her knowledge of real estate and background in construction and contracting assured us that we obtained a wonderful home and skillful people to assist us.

She enthusiastically and faithfully kept in touch with us during those years as she learned our preferences. When we finally arrived in Hickory, Regina tirelessly worked with us until we found exactly what we were looking for in a home.

I visited the area and found exactly what I was looking for in a new house. She helped me through the entire transaction, all while I was out if state. She had all the right questions for the builder, sent me pictures/video often as it was being built, was available any time I had questions, which were a lot, especially as we got closer to closing. She stood our ground for me when things weren't quite what we expected. She's been very personable and informed helping me all the way through. I have no intention of needing her again for a long while (lol), but I would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone.
