Dennis Polk

We are in our 70s and between us, we have bought and sold nearly a dozen houses. Dennis Polk is the best realtor we have ever encountered. His approach to selling our townhouse in Black Mountain involved extensive preparation and outstanding marketing; he managed every step and guided us throughout the process. Prior to listing our property, we had an inspection and appraisal, which enabled us to attend any repairs and determine a fair listing price designed to preclude extensive negotiations. Mr. Polk and his associate took dozens of professional photographs of each room, the yard and landscaping. Because our main residence is 200 miles from the townhouse, he arranged for all the paperwork to be signed electronically. With Mr. Polk’s help, we ensured that the townhouse was immaculate. One day after the property was listed and available to local realtors, it was viewed by two prospective buyers. That evening, we had a contract, and six weeks later, we closed. The buyer had her own inspection and appraisal, and there were no surprises. Mr. Polk shepherded this transaction with extraordinary efficiency, professionalism, and expediency. He was attentive throughout the process and kept us informed of every query and procedural step by personal phone calls and email messages. His advice on a variety of issues – taxes, utilities, physical improvements, legal matters – was invaluable. This transaction was the smoothest and most satisfying we have experienced. We recommend Dennis Polk enthusiastically and without reservation.
