“We honestly could not have found our dream property without Athena, and we are so grateful she was in our corner every step of the way. From day one, she truly listened to what we wanted and never made us feel like a burden, no matter how many questions we had. What really set her apart was how deeply she knew the property. She came prepared with details we never would have thought to ask about, and that knowledge gave us so much confidence going into the process. Athena also had wonderful relationships with the seller's agent and the closing attorney, which made the whole experience feel seamless and stress-free. You could tell people genuinely respected and trusted her, and that made a real difference when it came time to negotiate and close. If you want a realtor who is knowledgeable, well-connected, patient, and truly invested in finding you the right home and not just any home, Athena is your person. We cannot recommend her enough!”

“Robin is the best!! She’s professional, smart, knowledgeable, and so very kind.”

“From the very first showings, Athena took all the time we needed and knew every aspect of every listing and highlighted the positives of each home expertly. Her knowledge of real estate law is encyclopedic. She was incredibly patient with two seniors who were anxious about the process.”

“Athena is an excellent realtor, very professional, capable, resourceful, responsive, and congenial.  She was thorough in her explanation of legal documents; she has a wide network of supporting staff, including carpenters, inspectors, and attorneys, etc., and she is, above all, highly sensitive to the needs and interests of buyers.  Athena was available whenever we needed a tour of homes or a follow-up, and she is very knowledgeable about the inventory in Western North Carolina. Even more, she has a keen eye for detail and quickly analyzes the potential of a home we are seeing for the first time.  She manages the itinerary and is always very patient when it changes, explaining market conditions and describing neighborhoods as we pass through different communities.  Lastly, Athena is a delightful partner in the real estate journey, which can take several months, and she tries to make it pleasant and agreeable.  She is an exceptional talent.” 

“My agent, Athena, made the entire process easy to understand and kept me updated. She was always one step ahead of the process, and I felt safe the entire way. As a 1st-time buyer, the process seemed endless, and I wouldn't have been able to make it through without Athena holding my hand, answering every call, and talking me through the seller of the ledge more than once. This is my 1st home and probably not my last. I will be recommending both Athena and Town and Mountain to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.”

“Claire Stanhope and her team were fantastic throughout the whole process of selling our condo. Claire listened well to our needs and advised us wisely, resulting in a successful and speedy sale. She was available and ready to assist whenever we needed. We highly recommend her and her team for any real estate needs.”

“Carly is the absolute best! I’m on my 10th house, so I’ve got a little experience, but never had an agent so dedicated to making it happen. Asked for her by name.”

"Robin Mehler did such an amazing job as our agent. She is super professional, knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She was with us every step of the way, patiently explaining the many complexities of the home-buying process and helping us manage our expectations and concerns. I can’t recommend her enough!” 

"Asha was a pleasure to work with. She has a great attitude and made the home search less stressful and even fun! I highly recommend her as she is knowledgeable, experienced, and a very capable realtor."

“This was our second time working with Athena. She helped us buy our home, and when the adjacent vacant property went up for sale, we reached back out. We came up with a plan and waited (a year!) until the price made sense. Athena was right on top of letting us know about the latest price drops, and we were able to make a prompt offer and close quickly. It was a seamless experience, and we are thrilled with the results!”
