James provided us with resources and support for a smooth and pleasant property purchase and subsequent sale of a second home in Ashe County NC.

Property Review "Rest Assured", 193 Abbie Trail, West…read moreJefferson, NC Carolina Mountain Properties & Rentals 8 N. Jefferson Ave. West Jefferson, NC 28694 Rented house "Rest Assured" from Sept 7 through Sept, 25, 2021 - cost $6172 Expectations: For this amount of money ($342 per night), we expected a well-furnished and appointed Mountain Cabin, regrettably, it was not. Instead, we found a neglected and uncared for older house. It was simply not up to our standards for a rental! Our Prior Experience: As previous VRBO house owners in Boone and Blowing Rock, NC, we always were sure that our renters "got what they paid for" ................ A well-managed, clean, up-to-date, well-furnished and outfitted with all utensils and amenities needed. Our previous experience with VRBO has been very positive, up until now. Jennifer at Carolina Mountain Properties was responsive to our requests, but she could not have given us what we expected with this house. This house was not what we have previously experienced on VRBO What was Experienced Light bulbs out in numerous locations (we found bulbs) Light fixtures old and cheap No chairs suitable for sitting out on the back deck, instructions were to drag from house Fan broken and not repaired as requested Toilets often needing plunger to clear Scalding hot water in showers due to complex plumbing fixture Mold in downstairs room Furniture very old, worn out and dirty No cue sticks available for pool table (corrected) Downstairs radio not working Dangerous stairs, two falls Parking inadequate and difficult Numerous screens missing Several old and missing blinds (3 were replaced) No water glasses (corrected) No wine glasses (corrected) Broken pull out kitchen cabinet (repaired) No cutting board in kitchen (corrected) Décor outdated and dirty Decking splintered Kitchen Utensils skimpy Linens need replacing Junk under the house Slippery bathtubs as showers, no handholds Old Christmas dishes .... really ETC. In summary, this house is showing age, needing maintenance and upgrades. Had we known the condition, we would have selected another VRBO. It was not worth the $6182 we paid. We requested refund from Carolina Mountain Properties, but rejected. Disappointed.

Our…read moreprocess was delayed multiple times due to complexities around the property and each time he was able to offer a quick solution which ended up fixing our issues each and every time. Derek is extremely knowledgeable about the entire home buying process and is very well versed about things in the home not necessarily relating to the purchase as well (such as how many of the complex systems in the house work). He has an amazing network of contacts and every single service provider he recommended was 100% perfect for what we expected. He is also great about keeping up with social media and the housing trends that are in, as well as keeping up with investment information, which make him an ideal Realtor for individuals looking for a personal home as well as investment properties. We will absolutely be using Derek again in the future and will recommend him hands down to anyone else looking for a home in the High Country area.

In a market where homes were flying off the shelf within hours, Derek & Terri met me at the property lickity-split. That particular home turned out not to be "the one", but the next home was a go! After a year of working with another realtor, Derek & Terri have us moving into our new home now! From my initial call to them, to closing, was less than two months. That's in a market with no inventory! They answered countless phone calls, and solved problems in the background that I didn't even know to worry about! They worked closely with the lender & contractors involved, while we switched gears multiple times. To me, responsiveness & local expertise were the most important factors. They gave me those in spades. In a world where renovation estimates have become insane, we even discussed all the DIY options & plan to do most of it ourselves. I have no doubt that they will still be available for advice. We couldn't be more excited & thankful. There will likely be another transaction within the next year, and there is no question that I will be calling on Derek & Terri. Did I mention we did this entire transaction from another state? Yet, they made it seamless. Top notch! Please call them. You will not be disappointed!
