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.

My wife and I have been working with Ron and Landen to purchase our new home in Waynesville. We…read morehave been so pleased with their service that I couldn't wait to provide a review. I own and operate a real estate brokerage in Arizona and with 15+ years of full-time experience in the real estate industry, I have managed, worked with, and worked across a number of successful real estate teams. So I can say with authority that Ron and Landen possess a level of local market knowledge and general real estate expertise that exceeds what I've experienced from any other broker team, even in the large metro market that I serve. From the moment that we set up our initial search, Ron and Landen have maintained open lines of communication with us. They had a clear understanding of our preferences so when a property that was a particularly good fit came to market, not only did we receive an automated email notification from the MLS, but they proactively notified us by phone so we didn't risk losing out to another buyer. They arranged for us to tour homes throughout the region and Ron offered his insights along the way so we were able to quickly identify the neighborhoods that "felt" like home to us. Once we found our property and prepared to write our offer, Ron's and Landen's knowledge of the local market shined! They had personally either sold or visited every comparable property, which allowed us to structure an offer that was consistent with market values, ensuring we didn't overpay. As out of state buyers, they have gone the extra mile to help facilitate inspections, appointments with contractors for painting, etc, and other requests that have arisen along the way. I could go on and on about the exceptional service that we've received from the Breese team, but I'll simply say this: If you are considering buying or selling a home in Western North Carolina, do yourself a favor and call Ron and Landen first. With 35+ years of combined local expertise and a true "customer first" focus, they'll earn your business!

I know the communities of Waynesville, Maggie Valley, Canton, Clyde, Lake Junaluska, Asheville, and the surrounding areas, and I love helping people find not just the right house, but a place they can truly call home.

I recently bought a small lot in Asheville, and before we closed, a buried pipe issue came up that threatened the whole deal. Chris was very patient, competent, and thorough during the fairly stressful process. He was able to get things taken care of and we were able to close by the seller's deadline. Chris also added a touch of humor to our discussions, and always made me feel like my interests were his first priority. I cannot recommend him more highly. Steve Baughman San Rafael, CA.

What made them exceptional was not only their knowledge of the market, but how well they worked as a team. We always knew that if one of them wasn't available, the other was fully informed and ready to step in. They had each other's backs, and just as importantly, they always had our best interests at heart. We explored communities from Fletcher and Hendersonville to Lake Lure before ultimately finding the perfect home in Black Mountain. Their local knowledge, willingness to share candid opinions, and ability to truly listen helped us find the right home, not just another house. They also guided us through a difficult negotiation with professionalism, patience, and confidence.
