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.

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.
Buyer of 979 Spice Creek Rd, Banner Elk
Jon and Theresa worked with us for several years searching for a home and land that met our criteria. At each turn they shared their knowledge of the area, positives and negatives of each property, and value-based assessment of the property for our desires. They also shared with us their book of competent service providers. Had it not been for them we might still be looking for property. We highly recommend Jon and Theresa Gatewood.
