John was exceptional to work with, he was very knowledgeable about any house we inquired about, and he went above and beyond throughout the entire process.

Mr. Heffren was very professional and kept the lines of communication open with us throughout the entire process. He really cares about his clients and their happiness. We would choose him again to be our agent if we bought another home.

Properties for sale
Buyer of 2D/311 Penny Lane, Banner Elk
Jon and Theresa were great from day one. They were both knowledgeable in the market, resale and construction of properties we viewed. They offered opionions when asked and were not pushy, which is something I appreciate a lot. They made sure we were on top of things we needed to do as it had been a while since we purchased a property. Communication was always quick and thorough. If Jon did not know an answer he quickly found it. I also know if we need help with anything in the future about our new place I can contact them no problem. Thank you!
Seller of TBD (Lot 8) West Woodland Trail, Lansing
Working with the Gatewood group was an absolute pleasure. Frequent and in depth communication on a regular basis. Always working with you and for you the entire time the property was listed. Truly a pleasure working with the Gatewood group.

Buyer of 114 Cherry Dr, Jefferson
Kelly was fantastic to work with throughout the whole process. This was our 2nd transaction with Kelly selling our home and buying. She is always there to answer questions along the way. I would recommend her to anyone.
Seller of 69/ Fairway Ridge Drive, Ashe County
Kelly was so wonderful with the sale of our land! She consistently updated us, worked with us, and educated us on how things worked during the selling process. If we were to every sell or purchase any other properties we would use Kelly Barr for sure!
Buyer of 314 Sandy Flats Drive, Jefferson
Kelly was 15 out of 10! She bent over backwards for me and my kids. I had been looking for months with no luck! Then a house came open that we lived in years ago and I never thought me and my kids would ever be able to get back, but she helped make our dream happen! Being a single mom I work a lot and if I needed to sign something she would email it to me or come by my work so I didn’t have to miss any work. Which to me that meant so much! We felt like we were working with our best friend rather than a real estate agent. She is simply the BEST ever!
