From beginning to closing Theresa was on top of it. Professional and was sympathetic to our needs. I needed yard work done and she sent some one reliable and reasonable. Closing went off without a hitch due to all the bases being covered. I have recommended Theresa to a close friend of mine and will use her services again.
Lyn was great, I was looking for a pretty targeted purchase in the Banner Elk/Sugar Mountain area. We found a house very quickly and went under contract almost as quick. Lyn's local knowledge, personnel she brought in (inspectors, lenders, etc) all helped with a quick close. Lyn was very responsive to me calls and texts. I would highly recommend Lyn!!
Working with Lyn was nothing short of extraordinary! From the very first conversation, she brought unmatched professionalism, warmth, and expertise to the entire process.Lyn knows the market inside and out. She guided us with smart strategies that made us feel confident every step of the way. No question were too small, and she always responded quickly with clear, thoughtful answers. We felt truly supported. She didn’t just help us buy a home — she made the experience enjoyable and stress-free.
Traci is absolutely dedicated to finding the perfect property for her clients. It did not matter how many homes we asked to see, Traci always showed up prepared with all the important property information. Traci is also very deligent to help her clients get all the other additional home services they might need once the contract is ongoing to ensure a smoth and on time closing. Very pleased with this type of concierge service.
Robin was very helpful, and friendly. She answered all our questions. She very knowledgeable about current trends. We highly recommend her.
We absolutely beloved working with Crystal. She always went above and beyond, professional, knowledgeable and quickly answered phone calls and text messages -- she truly went out of her way to make this process as smooth as possible for us. We looked at so many different properties and she was accommodating and flexible -and in addition is just incredibly kind and patient. We would absolutely encourage anyone looking for a house to reach out to Crystal!
The Gatewoods were able to accomplish the almost impossible in a soft market. Our condo sold the day after it listed. Their photographer took some of the most complimentary pictures of our unit I've ever seen and the consistency of help and answering questions was there from start to finish. Thank you Theresa and Jon for making this WAY easier than expected!
Theresa and her husband were an absolute breath of fresh air! They helped us for months to locate just the right mountain getaway for our family. Theresa was always available to answer any questions or help in any way possible. Both she and her husband’s professionalism was beyond any we had ever worked with. We will use Gatewood for all our future real estate needs. We highly recommend-5 stars!!
Chrystal is very professional, helpful, and caring. Crystal answered every question and concern we had quickly! We live in Florida, so we weren’t at the property during inspection. Crystal made sure every issue was taken care of and sent us pictures of completed items. From beginning to end, she made the process easy. You won’t be disappointed!
I worked with Jon and Theresa as a buyer and they represented the seller as well. They were very professional, easy to contact and they always followed up on everything as promised. They know NC real estate laws inside and out and I highly recommend them for buying and selling.
