What client say about us
Daniel did an outstanding job purchasing a 2nd home in the Lake Lure area. He's very knowledgeable about the area. He was also extremely responsive and professional. We found the needle in a haystack so thanks Daniel! Great job.
Dan did a great job helping us with the purpose of our home. Very quick response to all of our questions and gave thorough answers. He is also very patient and detailed oriented I would highly recommend Dan when you are ready to sell or purchase a home if you want the best experience.
We made a move from Charleston, SC to Tryon, NC and Dan helped us every step of the way. He kept us informed of houses hitting the market, gave us area comps, and most importantly, was incredibly flexible. He accommodated our crazy schedule, knowing we’d be driving up to look at properties. Our time was maximized as we looked at as many houses each trip as possible. Once we decided on a house to purchase, Dan continued supporting us through the initial offer, many inspections, negotiations and final agreement. Highly recommend for anyone looking to buy in the area.
Dan was extremely helpful in negotiations with the seller of the home we bought. His laid back attitude and down to earth personality was very helpful as we worked to deal with several aspects of inspecting, finding contractors, and eventually buying our new home. He was great with communication through the entire process. We are so thankful our friend recommended Dan and were very happy with his expertise.
