We couldn’t have asked for better realtors than Kelsey and Joseph. Buying a home from out of state meant we each had to make separate trips to North Carolina, and they were incredibly generous with their time, flexible with our schedules, and always prepared with thoughtful research and honest advice.

What made them exceptional was not only their knowledge of the market, but how well they worked as a team. We always knew that if one of them wasn’t available, the other was fully informed and ready to step in. They had each other’s backs, and just as importantly, they always had our best interests at heart.

We explored communities from Fletcher and Hendersonville to Lake Lure before ultimately finding the perfect home in Black Mountain. Their local knowledge, willingness to share candid opinions, and ability to truly listen helped us find the right home, not just another house.

They also guided us through a difficult negotiation with professionalism, patience, and confidence. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership throughout the entire process and would enthusiastically recommend Kelsey and Joseph to anyone looking for knowledgeable, trustworthy real estate professionals who genuinely care about their clients.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kelsey to sell our home in Black Mountain in 2026. She was referred to us by our South Carolina realtor. While we were a bit skeptical about whether we would be able to sell our home in the post-Helene market, Kelsey assured us it could be done. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market and meticulous about details. Every aspect of working with Kelsey, from our first meeting with her to the final closing, exceeded our expectations. She provided us with exceptional insights on how best to market our home and strategized with us on pricing. We were highly impressed with the quality of the listing photos/video and marketing materials she produced for us. She also coordinated a community open house with other brokers who had listings in our neighborhood. As a result of her efforts, we had a contract on our home within about a month and a half of it being listed and we were ultimately able to sell it. We appreciated how responsive Kelsey and her team were to our questions throughout the process. We would not hesitate to recommend Kelsey to any of our friends or neighbors who are considering buying or selling a home in Western North Carolina.

I retained Kelsey Varga as my realtor in May of 2019 to assist me in finding and purchasing a condo in the Miami-Dade County area. Kelsey did an outstanding job for me. She was knowledgable about available properties and various neighborhoods, answered all of my questions promptly and accurately, and provided invaluable help during the closing process. When I retained Kelsey, I knew she was a busy professional, but I always felt like I was her only and most important client. The end result? Kelsey found me the condo of my dreams, negotiated a great price and did it all without hassles. If you’re looking to buy or sell property, I would highly recommend Kelsey without hesitation as a highly competent, professional and results-driven realtor. Thank you Kelsey!
