I cannot say enough about how great Derek and the entire team was during our home purchase. 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!

He arrived on time to do the inspection on the home I was considering to purchase, carefully inspected every part of the house, shared with me the findings when I arrived half an hour into the inspection and even allowed me to tag along as he completed the inspection. I asked him a ton of questions; he was very patient with me and enthusiastic about answering them. I have to say if I ever buy another house in TN, he will be the first one to call. I fully trusted his judgement, appreciated his communication style and just genuinely enjoyed the process which I thought would have been much more stressful. Thank you!

We had a great experience working with Jacqueline Smith throughout our home search in the North…read moreCarolina mountains. She showed us homes throughout Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and ultimately helped us purchase our dream cabin in Sugar Mountain. From the beginning, Jacqueline was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and patient as we explored different areas and properties. Once we found the right home, she expertly guided us through every twist and turn of the transaction. She also connected us with trusted local professionals for inspections, estimates, and various projects, which was invaluable since we were buying from out of town. We truly appreciated her communication, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible. We highly recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking to buy or sell in the High Country!

Not only did they build us a perfect pantry but they matched our kitchen cabinets to a tee. We are beyond happy with the job they did. Everyone that we dealt with over there was friendly, polite, helpful and professional. A great big thanks to everyone!

Just stay in contact with him via phone or email when you need something and he'll take care of it as best he can. Wave at him when he's mowing or out in the yard - he's a nice guy!! The property itself (I stayed in New River Farms near the mall for two years) are fair for their price. My roommates and I each paid $475 a month for a four bedroom two bathroom unit. Utilities are all-inclusive except internet and cable, which you can easily call and set up yourself with any of the local Boone providers. There was a small kitchen, dining, space, and washer and dryer. My favorite part about NRF was that I could paint our unit. I hate living in stark white spaces and George was more than happy to let me paint. Complaints I have are small. The kitchen is really tiny, so when three or four people are in there moving around and cooking, it can get hectic and cramped. Neighbors are alright most of the time. When parties get thrown, everybody is pretty nice about getting to bed by 1:00 or 2:00. The only negative is the trash that sometimes gets left around on the porches and in the parking lot. Mail was easy. Trash and recycling was easy. And the location was really hard to beat for the price. Close to the mall, bus lines, and Walmart. Just make sure you pick good roommates to live with and pick up after yourself!
