Appalachian Realty

Cassie was the best! Her recommendations (i.e., when to list, what upgrades to do or not do, list price) were spot on, and my house sold quickly. She was great about keeping me informed. She has a fun, easygoing style that made the process as stress-free as possible for me.

We had worked with Sona before on the sale of a condo is South Asheville, but this time we were selling our house and hunting for a new one in West Asheville. When we started thinking about buying and selling, the first thought we had was, "Let's talk to Sona and find out what she thinks we need to do in order to get the best price for our house." We met with Sona at the beginning of December, got some good advice, and began working on the house in our spare time with the intention of finding a new house in 6-12 months and selling our current house. When we found a house we liked at the end of January, but were not really prepared to put ours on the market, we pushed into high gear to get our house ready for sale. Despite Sona's best efforts with what we felt was an unreasonable seller, the deal fell through. We went and looked at a good many houses with Sona over the next month, and worked diligently to get our house ready for market. When we saw our dream house pop up on the real estate sites at the end of February, we called Sona so we could schedule an appointment to look at it, and she moved quickly to get us in to look at the house. Once we saw the house with Sona, all of us knew this was THE house. Sona acted quickly, helping us craft an offer on a Saturday afternoon, so that we could be the first offer to be presented. With Sona's help, we managed to get our house on the market a week and a half later, and had it looking perfect. Sona put it up on the real estate sites before dawn, and by dusk, we had signed a contract for our asking price. Through the whole process, Sona kept us moving toward our goals, and helped us to get the best deals possible on both houses. She fought for us, and we knew that if there was something that needed done, Sona would make sure it was taken care of, whether it was paperwork for us, the lender, the seller, or the insurance company to fill out, Sona was on top of it. Thanks from Shaun, Leigh, and Lucy!

Erik and I had a great time selling my farm. It took a long time due to the unusual nature of the property but ultimately we were able to find a suitable buyer who was ready to accept the challenges the property presented.

I tried a few realty companies before finally deciding to use Appalachian Realty. First, let me say that I'm so glad that I picked Appalachian Realty. They were absolutely what I needed. They worked perfectly with the budget, and in the end even I was surprised at how many options I had in the WNC area. I want to especially thank Bill Palas for helping me and my family. Thank you so much!
