I have been guided through many real estate transactions as buyer and seller over the years. Chris…read moreMako was probably the best Realtor I've ever dealt with. 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.

Chris is an excellent realtor-- I would use him again 100%! He made the buying process easy by…read morebeing diligent, responsive and always available for us by text and email. He is so knowledgeable of the area and treated us out-of-state buyers with respect and honesty. He'll even climb into the small nooks and basements to make sure you know every inch of a house you are considering buying! He goes the extra mile in every aspect. If you are buying a home in the Asheville area and need someone knowledgeable, Chris is absolutely the right choice.

Laura Middleton did a *stellar* job in helping us sell our home in West Asheville. Laura went above…read moreand beyond with the details we would have overlooked, and was amazing with negotiations. She was kind, professional, and responsive. We found Laura to be passionate about her work and highly knowledgable about the real estate market. I'm so happy we chose her to be our selling agent and would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy their home.

She understood what we were looking for and took the time to help us find it, regardless of the price of the property. Angela researched everything for us in great detail. She made us very comfortable about our decision by providing as much information as possible. Angela is very friendly and professional and I would recommend her to everyone.

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

Firefly Realty agent Jordan Lockaby recently worked with us to sell some family property in…read moreHaywood County. She found us through a local inquiry that she received. Jordan provided a market/comp analysis of our property and after a site visit, she recommended a fine sales plan! We listed with Firefly on a Thursday, had two competitive offers by Sunday am and signed a contract that evening at a price exceeding our expectations! She and her Firefly Transaction Manager Jessica handled the many admin details, inspections, referrals and docs to affect a two-week close on the sale! Well Done. Jordan Lockaby's skillful lead, Firefly's staff resources, Keller-Williams' affiliation and efficient TEAM organization provided a smooth process for a successful sale! As a R/E developer in another state, and very familiar with the realty community there, we highly recommend Jordan Lockaby and her team at Firefly Realty. SOLD!!

Some account on Instagram asked if followers had any questions about real estate. I asked my question and Deanna answered, even though she wasn't the hired "expert" by the account. She was knowledgeable and I decided to take a chance and connect with her. I'm so incredibly glad I did. Deanna was always available to text and chat with me (within reason of course. No texting at midnight). She was there to keep this stressful experience as easy as possible. When we would think something was just normal for the negotiating process she would have a righteous indignation "No, they need to do this! That's ridiculous!" So that was awesome. So professional, knows what she's doing and was totally honest with us about decisions we had to make. I trusted her when she recommended certain things (which I'm so glad I did!) Deanna is a fantastic realtor with Mountain Star and you really need her help when looking for your home in/around Asheville.

Was recommended to this agency by some friends in the area, and they definitely delivered!…read more Alan started off pretty standard fare for a realtor, giving lists of houses, etc., and then got better from there. First, he started finding specific in properties that met our needs (which was highly important for the distance of our move), then started actually going to and showing us properties from a video call (we were in TX at the time), and eventually helped us find the perfect home for us by doing so. Next, he helped me with pricing in an offer that lined up well with our budget and the value of the home, and then when inspections were done started guiding us in where to push for concessions, etc. At this point this is already a 5-star experience, but it doesn't stop there. I mention to Alan my plans for financing the house, and he points me at a local lender that will have literally saved me tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan, and then, fast forward to closing day (when we finally arrived here), and he gets a couple minor things resolved well beyond our expectations (saving us another few hundred dollars). I'd say that I'd use his services again, and if I'm ever moving again I definitely will, but he did such a great job that I'll probably never need a realtor again. If you're looking for a new house, it'd be a mistake to not talk to and consider Alan Wray of Heartwood Realty.

We met Ella Tzinberg by happenstance and she has truly been one of the best realtors I have ever…read moreworked with. She acted as our buyer's agent and walked us through the unique characteristics of the North Carolina Market. She was very patient in helping us make several offers and in negotiating the house that we finally chose. She was incredibly honest and transparent and steered us away from properties that were either not right for us or had major issues. Once we chose our home, Ella helped negotiate the price. She also provided us with very high quality contractors and technicians in helping us make the house our home. She also was a wonderful communicator and was very upfront and honest about the whole process. She made the whole process easy and helped make it run smoothly.

He made the entire experience enjoyable. His humble and reassuring disposition was much needed in the midst of such a large undertaking. He was always easy to get ahold of, and consistently took the time to fully explain every step of the arduous process. He was very flexible in his schedule and showed his passion for his profession throughout every conversation. His honesty, work ethic, and charisma makes him a incredible realtor and human being. I highly recommend calling him today!

Moving across country can be extremely difficult and stressful. But, finding the perfect realtor makes it so much easier. After talking with multiple NC realtors, it became very apparent that Tracy Fagan Brown of Penashe Real Estate was listening to my sister and I's unique needs and wants for our new home. She immediately began sending us listing for homes that met our criteria. Once we arrived in NC, Tracy showed us so many options, allowing us to really hone in on what we did and did not want in our next home. Then, on day three she sent us "the one"! We really didn't see the initial appeal, but once we began to read the listing, she was right - it was perfect. We saw it, made an offer and the next day. Now we're new homeowners! She made the process almost easy. I'd trust Tracy to sell a house, buy a house or to answer any question you may have. She's been able to help us to navigate every step of the buying process including referring people to help with home inspections, repairs, negotiations, HOA discussions and even a cross-country mover. She really does do it all. Cannot recommend her highly enough.
