"Our experience with Emily and 828 Real Estate was fantastic. Thirty years ago, we purchased a 2-acre lot in Watauga County, so we could eventually build a retirement home. However, as much as we love Boone NC and the High Country, retiring closer t… Read Moreo grandchildren became the higher priority.
Just this past December, we reached out to 828 Real Estate to see if they might be interested in listing for sale our small tract of mountain heaven. Within 24 hours, we heard back from 828’s very professional and enthusiastic realtor, Emily.
Truthfully, because it was both the end of the year and Winter, we expected very little buyer interest until Spring or Summer. Regardless, Emily quickly handled the paperwork, uploaded our property's photos online, and listed the tract on MLS. She was in touch with us every step of the way. Her communication with us was always continuous, upbeat, and encouraging.
Well, 828 Real Estate and Emily helped us receive a very fair final selling price. We completed the entire closing process and had a check-in-hand within two months of our first contact with 828 Real Estate. Wow! Never would have thought that outcome even possible.
Again, thank you to Emily and the 828 Team for such a great and stress-free experience. Also, thank you for selling our little plot of land with the same enthusiasm and energy as you would have shown on a million-dollar home. You are the best. ~ Nancy and Greg D." Read Less
