“I recently used Jessica Jackson to help sell my house. In preparation for the sale, she gave honest feedback on what was needed to prepare the property, and I did so. She prepared what she believed was a fair market price that would give me the highest return. To my surprise, the house had an offer in less than a week at basically the asking price. If you are looking for a professional realtor, I highly recommend Jessica.”

“We were extremely impressed with every aspect of our experience with Town and Mountain Realty. Eva went above and beyond throughout the entire process—from showing us properties to providing invaluable guidance during the inspection and supporting us every step of the way through closing. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication exceeded our expectations. Even after closing, she has continued to provide exceptional service and support. We highly recommend Eva and Town and Mountain Realty to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and truly outstanding real estate experience.”

“We will be moving to the Asheville area next year permanently from Michigan, but we wanted to look for a home now. Our daughter had used another agent at Town and Mountain and was very happy. Unfortunately, that agent wasn't available when we were in the area in April. That agent got us matched up with Annie Blue Pettry, and we were so happy! She first showed us around the area. We looked at about 13 homes over a two-day period. We didn't find anything we really wanted to buy, but we then went to an Open House on our own and fell in love with a home that was being sold by the owner. We thought we could make the purchase on our own, and Annie was kind enough to answer a few questions initially. We soon discovered that we really needed a local realtor and signed up with Annie to represent us. She was amazing to work with! Always available for a quick question, either by text, email, or even a phone call. She helped us every step of the way, even attending the inspection of our property since we live 700 miles away. She worked with our seller, whom I believe also liked her. The closing of the sale was very drawn out, and Annie was there every step of the way, helping out. I can't say enough about how happy we are that we got to work with Annie Blue Pettry.”

“It is an honor to write this testimonial for Asha Hertel. Asha recently represented my husband and me in the purchase of a historic home in Montford, and subsequently with the sale of our home in Montford. After working in the real estate and legal fields for over thirty years, I can truly say that I have not met anyone who comes close to Asha in terms of her knowledge, support, responsiveness, acumen, and reliability. Asha is incredibly professional, smart, and supportive. She was available at all hours to answer questions, solve problems, and guide us through every step of what could have been a very stressful process. I credit her guidance and market reputation with securing our purchase of a unique and beautiful historic home that had multiple offers. Likewise, her impeccable staging, marketing savvy, and pricing strategy directly resulted in the expeditious sale of our existing home, including multiple offers and a contract the first week it went on the market. Even when an unexpected and thorny circumstance arose, she remained eminently calm, positive, and completely focused on finding solutions. Equally impressive is her depth of knowledge. She understood the inspection process inside and out, often catching details herself and even conducting independent assessments and boots-on-the-ground inspections to ensure nothing was overlooked. She is definitely not afraid to literally get her hands dirty. She also has an exceptional understanding of the Asheville market, especially Montford, and her relationships with inspectors, contractors, attorneys, and other professionals made every step of the transaction smoother. Beyond her expertise, Asha is simply a joy to work with. Her optimism, can-do attitude, and genuine commitment to her clients made each and every interaction a positive one. We always felt that she was advocating for our best interests and going above and beyond what we could have expected from a real estate agent. If you’re buying or selling a home in Montford—or anywhere in Asheville—we cannot recommend Asha Hertel highly enough. She is exceptional, and we were, and remain, incredibly grateful to have had her by our side for both transactions. Should anyone wish to discuss her qualifications, we would be happy for Asha to provide our contact information as references."

"Jody smoothly and efficiently handled all aspects of the sale of our home. He was prompt, informative, and helpful in all communications with us, from the early planning through to the final closing. He advised us through preparations to go on the market and then produced excellent materials that attracted many visitors and two solid offers. We were very pleased with the final deal we struck with our buyers. Jody already is a well-established professional in Asheville -- and for good reason.”

“Working with Nettie Turcott was a pleasure. She is so knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and funny, and it was fun to work with her!”

“Carly Esslinger of Town & Mountain Realty recently helped us sell our home of 16 years in Asheville. We knew when we interviewed her that she was our choice. She was quietly thorough both in what she did and how she explained next steps to us. We always felt prepared and supported during this complex process. Our home was sold very quickly, and Carly was ready at every step to keep things moving. Every exchange with her was pleasant, thoughtful, and sometimes even fun. We highly recommend Carly Esslinger and Town & Mountain Realty.”

“Asha is great to work with. Knowledgeable, attentive, and very responsive. She is an all-around great person. For any future property transactions in WNC, we’ll be using Asha without a doubt.”

“Jessica was very helpful with the NC buying process and recommended people in the area to help us. She was very timely and thorough.” 

“Andy Ball did a great job from start to finish!”
