From start to finish Jake and his team worked tirelessly to get my building sold. Within days of signing on with him, pictures and video were taken and the listing was live and ready for all to see. His communication with me was excellent in coordinating inspections and appraisals, always with regard to the least amount of impact to my daily continued business operations from the property. He was easy to work with and always supported me in my decision making and gave good advice when I wasn't sure what to do. Rest assured, you are in good hands with Jake Raines!

I have had the pleasure of working with Jake both selling and buying. This man knows his business inside and out. He’s prompt to respond. Has the patience of a saint. Fights hard for his clients. Is a brilliant negotiator. We had some nail-biting moments but he was always at the ready with a solution. I wouldn’t dream of using anyone but Jake for all my real estate transactions at this point. If you’re in need of a realtor look no further, Jake is your man.

I’ve now worked with Jake twice and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again. His knowledge in such a wild market has been unmatched both times, and he always made our best interest his top priority. Jake was available whenever I needed him and had the right answer to every question—even the tough ones. If you’re looking for someone to guide you through your next real estate endeavor, look no further. Thanks again, Jake!

Jake has helped us sell a home and buy a home. Very helpful and willing to ask any questions. Explains process very well. Definitely the best of the best in WNC!!

Jake is always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had through the buying process. He kept us informed and is always extremely professional. We have worked with several realtors in the past and Jake sets the bar high in comparison. Again great realtor and glad we had the pleasure to work with him.

If you are looking for a realtor, look no further. This man knows his business. He works hard for his clients with a dedication like no other. He is quick to respond and so patient answering any questions you may have. If I’m ever in need of a realtor in that area again I’ll not hesitate to call. I can’t recommend Jake enough!

Working with Jake to purchase my condo was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He always made sure I felt like a priority and never hesitated to answer all questions I had, and there were a lot. Through the whole process Jake had a commitment to excellence. His professionalism and negotiation skills were first rate and he consistently found ways to get the best deal for me. He exceeded my expectations for the incredible closing deal he got. Since Jake has lived in the area all his life, his knowledge of good people in local businesses is unbelievable. When I needed an HVAC inspection, some handyman repair or an auto repair shop when my car broke down he never hesitated to provide his professional referrals that where the best. I'm so glad I used Jake as my relator. He made a stressful event a smooth and successful process. I highly recommend him and Petit Realty to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services!

Jake takes a modern approach to selling your house using state of the art technology and the use of social media.

Jake Raines is the best. I have moved 7 times in the last 12 years and have used a different realtor every time. I never felt that they really did enough to justify how much money they made. I'll never use another realtor other than Jake. Jake helped on both sides, buying my new place and selling my old one. The buying or our new house went pretty smooth and easy. The selling of my old one was a nightmare, as I knew it would be. I had tried and failed to sell it before and my previous realtor didn't seem to try as hard as necessary or negotiate much on my behalf, and had me make more concessions that I felt I should have to before eventually just pretty much giving up. Jake was able to get it done and made me significantly more money than I would have gotten the first time. I was selling a doublewide as is, and bought a decent place, but by no means a mansion. He wasn't going to make a ton of money off of them, but he worked like it was a million dollar deal. He was a beast in negotiations, used all the tricks and made more calls than he should have had to to make it work. He said my deal was one of the hardest he had ever done, and that every problem that could have happened, did happen and I believe him. Even through all of it, I never felt uneasy or that it wasn't going to work out because I saw how hard he was working to make it happen and he was very communicative along the way. He even stepped up to help my buyers find a new lender when their original lender screwed everything up (Cornerstone Mortgage by the way, also amazing people to work with). We were able to close on both houses on the same day at the same place and we were moved into our new house the same night. I will never use another realtor and I will gladly recommend Jake Raines to everyone I know. I never knew him before this deal, but I'm glad i know him now. I'm confident he'll treat you right and work as hard as possible for you just like he did for us. Awesome guy! Call him!

Jake was amazing to work with! His knowledge, willingness to go above and beyond to do whatever it takes to bring in a buyer and his ability to think outside of the box makes him hands down one of the best real estate agents in Transylvania Co.! If you are in the market to buy or sale, Jake is your point of contact! Highly recommend for all real estate transactions!

Jake is great! He was super helpful at every step of the way. I am grateful for him going above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with the purchase.

Jake did an amazing job with selling my home. He was available day and night for any and all questions I had along the way. Living out of town, he did all of the footwork for me. All I had to do was come in for closing.
