“Randy came in my previous home staged it, did a 3D video, got a drone view of the property overhead, street views, and views of the outside of the house. This was done completely prior to getting the pics of all the individual rooms with detailed descriptions of each rooms, closets,flooring even the Granite in kitchen and both bathrooms. Once he got all the details for the paperwork and actually got the home on the internet within a few hours he got multiple offers. He gave me a call we discussed the offers. After talking it over he came up with my decision. Both offers were good but one was agreable that house closed with out any problems. Thank you Randy!”

“Paul was referred to me by Chris Smith in his office. Paul was on top of everything and so helpful in showing me properties that we had identified in both Asheville and Hendersonville. There was a lot of ground to cover but I am thrilled with the results. I was Realtor in Florida for 8 years, so I know the importance of a good agent to get a good result. I was pleased with Paul's service through the entire process.”

“Our agent, Michael Diniz, was professional and extremely knowledgeable. Simply put, he's the best agent we've worked with. Selling our home had its challenges, but his persistence and urgency allowed our home to sell sooner than expected. I've used a few agents in the past, however, Michael is the only agent I'd refer to friends and family.”
