This was a big one for us, because we were moving to the area and had to do a lot of planning around our touring (& closing) which Bobbi helped us navigate smoothly without missing a beat. From the start of our search through closing she was there for us every step of the way for ALL our random concerns. Her experience was critical--especially with our lack of it. She truly cares about finding the perfect place for her clients to call home and taught us so much throughout the entire process. Her communication, negotiation, and care for what she does is above and beyond most realtors in the market today. We're so thankful for her and highly recommend!!!

We were also looking in the Asheville area about 4 hours away from where we lived at the time and it was tremendously helpful that she could check out the house and do a video showing for us. We trusted her judgement 100%. The icing on the cake is that she is such a good person! She donated a portion of her commission to the charity of our choice. I also can't stress enough how helpful her knowledge is and the great communication she provided throughout the process. Thanks Bobbi!

I wrote a review for James, and wasn't sure whether or not it would reflect upon the brokerage, as…read morewell. All I can say is that despite being the most difficult personal real estate purchase I have ever been involved with, it was also, in many ways, the smoothest. I know it may sound contradictory, but please read the comments below, which I copied directly from my recent review. Thank you James and thank you Re/Max All Stars! My wife and I just completed a very difficult transaction - multiple sellers misrepresented the properties they were selling by claiming there were no deed restrictions when in fact, there were. One home looked perfect, however, upon inspection, we discovered numerous problems with most major systems, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC and roofing, and multiple water incursions. All in all, over the span of nearly three months, and, through a total of four escrows, we were able to find and purchase the perfect home for us. James' attitude and professionalism were absolutely STELLAR. He not only went above and beyond, in every way possible, he did so with a calmness and compassion I have rarely seen. We have bought and sold quite a few properties through the years, and, I am a retired forensic appraiser - recognized by various courts - trial, appellate and supreme, as an expert in real estate. Despite the highly atypical level of difficulty, time, research and scheduling required to complete this transaction, James came through for us 100% of the time. We asked some unusual - and difficult questions and when James didn't know the answer, (which he usually did), he took the time to do the research and find the answers for us. James is not only very hard working, he is equally knowledgeable. We will DEFINITELY be using James again.

Molly was an absolute delight to work with. When we found the listing for my dream home, she met me…read moreat the house without any delay. We knew that the house would need some work, but Molly was quickly able to see the potential and knew exactly the next steps I needed to take. Her connections with local inspectors, realtors, and contractors allowed me to feel a sense of trust and ease throughout the buying process. I had to be back in California while the house was under contract, and Molly attended every inspection and took care of the details while I was away. As someone without any previous buying experience, I don't know what I would have done without her support! She is kind, trustworthy, and an excellent advocate for buyers. I can't recommend Molly Hartwell from Blueblaze Real Estate more highly!

From the moment we got in contact I knew how awesome she was, and she proved to be amazing each step of the way. We moved across the country. This wasn't an easy task at all, in fact we started looking for houses while still living in CA. Angela was very friendly, professional, knoledgeable. She was very organized and detail oriented and I couldn't ask for more. She was not hard to reach (like others realtors we dealt with), on the contrary, she would always be there for us, one way or another. She did tons of negotiations for us, TONS of research and she was a huge reason why we are so satisfied with the purchase of our house. It was nice knowing we had her support and more every step of the way. I don't have enough words to thank her. She was amazing. Highly recommend Angela

From our very first conversation to the final closing, Paula demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism that made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What stood out most was her professionally crafted communication. Every email, text, and phone call was clear, concise, and timely. She kept me informed at every step, explaining complex details in a way that was easy to understand without ever overwhelming me. Her updates were consistent and thoughtful, ensuring I always knew exactly where we stood. Paula also excelled at providing honest, constructive feedback. When preparing the house for showings, she offered practical suggestions that significantly improved the presentation without pushing unnecessary expenses. During negotiations, her insights on buyer offers and market conditions were spot-on and helped me make confident decisions. Her strategic approach was truly impressive. Paula developed a tailored marketing plan that highlighted my home's best features, priced it competitively based on thorough market analysis, and adjusted tactics quickly as needed. Most importantly, Paula's effort and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. She was always available, went above and beyond to coordinate showings, inspections, and paperwork, and handled every challenge with calm expertise and a positive attitude. She truly cared about getting the best outcome for me. If you're looking for a realtor who combines professionalism, strategy, and genuine hard work, Paula is the one. Thank you, Paula, for making what could have been a daunting experience so successful and enjoyable!

If you are selling or buying, she knows exactly what you need to do. It might not be easy, but she knows what she is doing and you should trust her.

I cannot tell you just how much she has saved me from bad purchases!!!!!

A person doesn't know what they don't know. CMS was the seller's agent in a property I recently…read morepurchased. I used the listing's photos in my own rental ad and was rightfully contacted by CMS to tell me this was against the law. It's HOW the seller's agent and then broker approached me that is the problem. Bullying, accusatorily haranguing and threatening are never goodwill courses of action. Their incessant, aggressive interruptions were so pervasive that I could never get out a full apology, offer financial compensation or request to be contacted if the ad should show up on an outlier site as the listing had gone viral. Going to their office to discuss the first episode of ill-treatment, I received more of the same: defensive, interrupting, even called unethical. When I asked the broker's name, I was kicked out of the office; she grabbed their business card signage to prevent my knowing it and threatened to call the police. A disturbing show of in-kind organizational personality and behavior. Everyone appears friendly when money is to be made. Inauthenticity and character flaws are discovered when there is no money on the table and a sincere (attempt at an) apology is rendered valueless.

I had all but given up on selling my home after going through a plethora of agents who were equally frustrated with my challenging property. Then my husband found Carolina Mountain Sales via Jessica at Ideal Agent. Luda Cooper was assigned to our home from Carolina Mountain Sales. Luda went above and beyond her call of duty. From the beginning of the process all the way to the last detail, Luda made the process and absolute joy. The home was the eleventh home I've sold, and after a grueling three years, Luda turned a nightmare into a pleasant experience. Her attention to the details were key in making the selling experience a smooth process. Luda understands the process from the aesthetic, the psychological, and the financial angle of selling. Her calm demeanor and pleasant presentation are infectious. If anyone is looking for a dedicated and experienced agent, I strongly urge you to contact Luda Cooper at Carolina Mountain Sales today. I'm so happy we found her.

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.
