Traci is the most knowledgeable and professional person in real estate that I have met - and there have been many!! She has gone out of the ordinary to help us with NC real estate law, appraisals and procurement of our mountain dream home. I would recommend her and her untiring skill to anyone who wishes to sell or purchase a property - - I wish she could be in Greenville SC to sell my property there!!

Traci took the time to really get to know my wife and me as well as our kids and to understand what we were looking for in a new home. We were looking for a unicorn in a market that was already lacking inventory. She went to work and was always willing to meet us just about anywhere anytime to accommodate our crazy schedule. She was willing to put on boots and trudge through mud, crawl with me under homes, look in attics, nothing phased her. She is unbelievable. Her knowledge and expertise in homes and the area were awesome. And in the end, she helped us truly find an awesome deal in a difficult market. I would absolutely recommend Traci Artus without any reservations. She will always be my go-to person for real estate. Thank you Traci!

I’ve been a contractor for over three decades and have dealt with my fair share of realtors, and Traci is by far the best I’ve encountered. She is exceptionally thorough, knowledgeable, communicative and always takes time to answer any questions. Traci sold my home in Boone, NC and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home.

Edward “Mercer” was a complete pleasure to work with from start to finish. We got into a long-shot of a purchase that required several offer/contract revisions and seemed like it would fall through multiple times. Edward was available, knowledgeable, accommodating and patient through the entire process and I very much enjoyed working with him.

Did a great job. From putting the pictures together to getting me to sign on the correct line. He knows his stuff from marketing to showing good curb appeal. He got me $100 grand more than anyone in my complex. Very pleased.

We now had the pleasure of working with Traci on 2 purchases and undoubtedly one of the best agents I have worked with. She is knowledgeable not only about the area but all aspects of the transaction. Traci assistance in due diligence from inspections to collecting proposals for repairs allowed us to get so much accomplished in a very short diligence period and avoid costly mistakes.

As a former broker, I know what to look for when I'm choosing an agent to work with me in an unfamiliar market. After interviewing a few agents, I chose to work with Traci based on her experience, her local knowledge, and her professionalism. I just bought with Traci in the *super-tight* 2021 summer market, and I could not be more pleased with our transaction overall. Simply put, I found Traci to be the consummate real estate professional. She is highly knowledgeable, super-sharp and savvy--advocating for her clients thoroughly and with full disclosure/honesty. She will “tell it like it is” to all parties in a transaction, go see properties for you once she knows your preferences (even without you asking), keep a tough deal together, find missing data like nobody’s business--and she makes it fun, all at the same time! Don’t hesitate for a minute on your decision—hire Traci as your buyer’s or listing agent. I know that I look forward to working with Traci repeatedly, when time comes to trade properties here in Blowing Rock. Thank you again, Traci!"

I'm glad I found Edward (Mercere) on Zillow to be our agent during the search and purchase of our property. He was very thorough, prompt and provided excellent communication and follow up during the entire process. Since this was an out of state purchase, it was a relief to have Mercere representing our best interests since we couldn't be there most of the time.

As a former broker/owner of a real estate company, I was so impressed with Traci. She was very responsive by phone, email, and text. She was very meticulous in getting the legal documentation getting done properly. She was loyal to our needs and in negotiations for our purchase of a dream home. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very nice. Thank you, Traci Artus.

Traci is a very professional and extremely knowledgeable agent. She helped us get the maximum price for our home, with no issues. Traci is also helping us find a new home. I highly recommend using Traci to list or to help you find a home.

Traci is a real estate pro! She is knowledgeable, extremely responsive, and knows the area and she knows the market. Her awareness of pricing and inventory was important in this hot market. She also knows the service people in the area for plumbing, electrical, legal, and lending which was helpful for questions we had. Traci was with us every step of the way. The greatest compliment you can offer is "would you hire them again?" We would hire Traci in a minute!
