Used Nichole to help me find my new home, and now just finished the process of selling my former residence. Once again, her experience, organizational skills, and communication skills made this process as easy as possible. She was on top of every issue, worked hard getting specifics from the other realtor, and kept everything on track. I am so grateful to have met her and have her guide me through all this. She understood my needs and desires, and got me through to the finish line! Thanks, Nichole! Been a blessing to work with you and to know you as a person!
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.
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
Traci goes above and beyond to handle every step of the process. She keeps on top of all aspects from start to finish. She is very knowledgeable and helpful as she works hard d for you. She is very good with communication. We highly recommend Traci. She has done both a sale and a purchase for us and we would definitely use her again for any real estate needs.
Rachel was very responsive. She went above and beyond in helping to organize all of the inspections for the house. My house is an older house and she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in pointing out thing to focus on and pay more attention to. I highly recommend her especially if you are new to North Carolina and don’t have a lot of knowledge of the area. She made the buying process extremely easy and made sure to answer all my question immediately. On a side note she was also great at pointing out specifics of the area as I am new here.
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.
Could not have a better realtor. Nichole is one of the hardest working people I know, and made everything about buying a new home easy. Her communication skills are excellent and her responses swift and clearly articulated. She led me through the process step by step, which reduced stress and things went smoothly. As with everything else, her research into the market was very thorough and led me to my new home! Personally, she is a joy to work with and I'm glad to have met her!
Traci was an immense help finding the right home for us. She has extensive knowledge about the area, historical comps and homes coming to the market. We live in another state so having her on the ground and constantly communicating with us made the process smooth. I felt that she really had our backs during the negotiation process and also during the inspections and any conversations we have with contractors. It was more than just getting the home for us, it's also the continuous follow up and help she has given us after the sale. We highly recommend using Traci as an agent and the bonus is we have gained a friend.
Jon and Theresa are professional, reliable, extremely knowledgeable and fabulous to work with. They know the area and the market. I truly appreciated their combined willingness to answer my many questions and they communicated with me every step of the way. They also walked me through the sales paperwork once my house was sold. I knew my house an I were in good hands.
I met Traci Artus through a mutual friend who is also one of her clients, and I am so grateful for the introduction. Traci is a fantastic person and agent with a great understanding of her market and is always looking out for her clients. She quickly grasped what we were looking for and provided insightful directions on where best to look for the property we wanted. She guided us with thoughtful, informed direction on where to focus our search and helped us understand the nuances of the High Country market. Her knowledge of the area is second to none. Throughout the process, Traci kept us informed and updated. We never had to wonder what the next step was or where things stood. One of the greatest benefits of working with an experienced REALTOR® is the network they bring to the table, and Traci’s connections proved invaluable throughout the transaction and even as we started some needed updates to the property. That support is a huge value and something we truly appreciate! If you are looking for property in the beautiful High Country of North Carolina, I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend reaching out to Traci!
