Buyer of 421 Sourwood Lane, Blowing Rock
Traci communicated every step of the way and was extremely proactive on all the negotiations and follow up. We had a quick turn around on closing and she made sure all of the inspectors were there and even called in a contractor for a second opinion to make sure everything had been covered. Her professionalism was top notch. We would absolutely use Traci again.
Buyer of Blackberry Lane, Blowing Rock
A real.pro .knows all aspects of the market whether it be land sales or housing . Won't sugar quote a subject just to make a sale . Good communicator . There should be more Traci Artus's in the business
Buyer of 140 Kings Drive, Blowing Rock
Traci went above and beyond all of our expectations for a real estate agent. This was true from the moment we met her. She made the most of the limited time we had, living in another state, with her preparation and efficiency at looking at properties. She showed us many listings, listening to our many preferences. She never made us feel rushed or pressured to find the perfect place on our schedule. She made herself available at any time we needed her. She quickly responded to any email or text to answer our many questions. Through the process of purchasing, she made herself available for all the inspections, sometimes questioning the inspectors, making sure everything was as it should be. We wanted a short time frame to closing and she was able to organize everyone to accommodate our wishes. She is a full time resident and native of Blowing Rock. She seems to know everyone and everything about the area. This was so helpful in finding the right place for us. Even after closing, she left a very thoughtful and appreciated welcoming gift and stopped over to make sure we were settling in. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness made the entire process easy and enjoyable. We love our new place and would highly recommend Traci as a real estate agent.

Buyer of 212 White Pine Road South, Blowing Rock
We couldn’t be happier with our home buying experience. As an out of state buyer, having such a knowledgeable and hard working agent made the process much smoother than I anticipated. Jon and Theresa truly went the extra mile for us, and their guidance was invaluable. Thanks for making our mountain dreams a reality!
Buyer of 407 Morningside Dr, Blowing Rock
Jon, with support from his wife Theresa, was a friendly and consummate professional in shepherding us through our new home purchase in Blowing Rock, NC. His website updated us almost daily on new/changing listings in the greater Blowing Rock/Boone areas, providing us with insight into the region's real estate market. He efficiently scheduled viewings and always offered useful insights about the homes' conditions and market values. He listened carefully to our concerns and desires. When it came time to make an offer and follow up with inspections, he facilitated the process with detailed attention through conclusion. We have purchased several homes in the past, and this is the best experience we've had. We can't recommend him high enough.

Seller of D-2/205 Caleb Drive, Blowing Rock
Elisa is extremely knowledgeable and goes the extra mile for her clients. She is always accessible and responsive to your questions and requests. Whether you are buying or selling she does everything possible to make sure the deal gets closed. I highly recommend Elisa for anyone who is looking to purchase in the High Country.
Seller of 270 Apple Ridge Lane, Blowing Rock
Elisa is a true pro. She knows the area, she knows pricing, she knows people's chemistry and she can read people well. All of these factors lead to being able to provide incredible insight and advice through the purchasing and selling process. She is energetic and fun, so what could be a stressful process, she removes the stress. She thinks about things before they occur and has an answer and a solution ready. You never question who she is working for - she gives 100% to her clients.

We have worked with Elisa twice to buy and to a sell a home and each time, she has gone above and beyond during the process. She communicates, she anticipates, she plans and she executes! Her enthusiasm keeps us laughing but what I really appreciate is how well she knows the High Country market and could guide us each step of the way in the process.
