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!
Traci is excellent at what she does! She made our experience one that will positively ensure our business if we are ever in search of another property in the area. She is very prompt and knowledgeable. She will do whatever it takes to accommodate the needs of her clients, and we sincerely appreciate her hard work and dedication to making this possible for us.
First started working with Traci 6 years ago when we came to Boone and most recently on purchasing our new home there. Traci knowledge and endless list of contacts makes all the difference when it comes to understanding the pitfalls and avoiding them at every turn. You will not find a better representative no matter if you are selling or buying.
Lyn did a fantastic job supporting us in our search for a new home. On a quick turnaround where we met Lyn for the first time at our first home showing. She had great local knowledge, gave us great recommendations, and even added our future home to our showings even though we were skeptical from the pictures. She was an amazing advocate for us and we would recommend her to anyone!
We stumbled into calling Traci as she was listed as the agent for a property we had questions about. It felt like we won the lottery. From that point forward Traci walked us through every step, from showing us homes and being honest in their representation, answering our many questions, through to the closing. Our not being local added additional complications, but Traci was on top of the process beginning to end. She kept us informed and prepared us for every phase.
Lori helped us find the perfect condo in Beech Mountain. She is so knowledgeable and very personable!
