"Asha Hertel just helped me buy my first house and it has been wonderful having her by my side through the whole process! Her dedication and commitment to helping me find and buy a house in such a crazy time for the real estate market were amazing. She went above and beyond, taking videos of multiple properties, diligently inquiring with local officials, and exploring every inch of houses from crawl spaces to attics.

"Before signing with Athena Dygert at Town and Mountain Realty as my realtor, I knew she was intelligent with a passion for helping those in need in the community and well-respected by her co-workers.
I first asked Athena to simply look at a home I had been asked to buy from a friend. The home turned out not to be the home for me. But, it needed to be sold and the seller chose Athena to market it. I was impressed when my friend told me the house had sold for more than I was asked to pay for it.
It was overwhelmingly difficult to come to the realization I needed to sell my first home after twenty years. Athena made a point of not influencing me one way or another; patiently waiting for me to make my own decisions.
While I searched the internet close to home, she drove long distances to show me the houses I found. She listened to me talk about houses outside of her geographical region and taught me things about houses, financing, and real estate transactions I’d never learned in a lifetime of moves. I came to the conclusion I had to search out of state.
Athena met a new client around the same time I had an offer accepted out of state. He loved my home. It looked like smooth sailing ahead. I moved into my new house. Five days later it was hit by lightning which caused catastrophic damage requiring I move back to the house I had listed for sale. She put out the word to her co-workers at Town and Mountain who offered help. Theirs is a company with true heart for their client family.
After sixteen months of repairs on the Columbia, SC house, my CMLS realtor, Tyjuan Montgomery of Keller-Williams and Athena have helped me find and move into an exciting new forever home in West Columbia, SC. The man who wanted to buy my first home has happily been able to make it his first home. The only thing we have left to do for a complete happy ending is to sell my restored patio home in Columbia.
I made a costly mistake not having a realtor when buying my first home. I didn’t know how many things could go sideways during the process of finding and buying a new home and selling the old one(s). Having knowledgeable, compassionate, hard working realtors on your side is vital for the happiest of endings." ~ W. Vogel
"First time home buyer here and as fate would have it I was lucky enough to connect with Asha Hertel through Town and Mountain when I started looking for homes. She assisted me in checking out a house I was initially interested in and helped me gain literacy and know-how with all things real estate. She helped me find many other homes that fit the style I was looking for over several months and ultimately discovered my dream home that I would not have found otherwise. Asha is a wonderful agent to work with and I could not have asked for a better person to help me navigate this process <3" ~ Breck W.
"As a first-time home buyer, I wasn’t prepared to know what to expect throughout the process. There are so many details to consider, such as fit for your lifestyle, your realistic budget, the documents you’re about to sign, and what they actually mean etc. Fortunately, Athena Dygert was the best part of my home-buying journey.
She displayed her knowledge about the area she serves and offered great insight into how she feels about the home I was looking for. I was able to sense the genuine passion she has for living in these beautiful mountains and how much it means for her to be able to assist and guide people looking to do the same thing.
Throughout my experience with her during my home-buying process, I’ve learned that she contributes to a non-profit called Mountain Housing Opportunities, which helps families find affordable housing throughout the Asheville area. The joy she gets from helping people find homes to improve their living and life situation was incredibly apparent throughout my experience working with her. It radiates into all her work, and I’m convinced it is why my home-buying experience was such a positive one.
Even when the home-buying process's unexpected, last-minute curve balls arose, I always felt confident that the right course of action would be taken because I had proper guidance from Athena. She displayed a very clear grasp of navigating around all the paperwork and has a very impressive knowledge base when interpreting what the contracts you’re signing along the way mean. Her years of experience are very self-evident, and she has proven a top-notch realtor in the area. I would happily and gladly recommend her to anyone and everyone." ~ Sam Y.
