    "A Big Win for Us!"
    Stefany Mills who works at DWELL REALTY out of Greenville, SC has done amazing for us. Finding a condo that is perfect - twice as large for the same price as here ! We can enjoy the foster kids who have already moved there--- a big win for us. Call Stefany at Dwell Realty if you want to have "Over TheTop " service to you and great coordination with other agents-- and---- she has an awesome friend Carol in Asheville who really came thru with a mortgage in record time-- that works ..and I didn't have to deal with the big banks- - the programs that make ME enter everything- and the big bank non-personal service.

    "He was very knowledgeable!"
    Working with John was a wonderful experience. He was very knowledgeable about the property, and if there was anything he couldn't immediately answer he was always very prompt with getting us the answer.

    "I would highly recommend John to everyone."
    Couldn’t have been better! John is a true professional and we are proud to call him friend now. I know we were not the easiest customers for John to keep happy, but he did that and more. I would highly recommend John to everyone.

    "We'll be happy to use them again in the future!"
    My wife and I were extremely happy working with John and Barclay. They give honest advice, aren't pushy in the slightest, and have great knowledge of Asheville neighborhoods, established and up-and-coming alike. We also found them to be flexible when it came to showing houses,and were very quick to respond to emails/texts when needed. When it came time to put an offer on a house we loved, John and Barclay helped us come up with an offer that both met our criteria and made the seller happy, and made similar negotiations throughout the closing process go very smoothly. We also took their advice and hired some of their recommended vendors and found them to be great as well. All in all, I don't think my wife and I would have been able to buy such a great house if we'd used any other realtor. We'll be happy to use them again in the future!

    "Can’t recommend John high enough!!"
    John went above and beyond any realtor my wife and I dealt with in the past. When we first started looking in Asheville I contacted a few realtors and immediately was deluged with every listing on the market. John called and wanted to find out what we liked and what we didn’t.John has extensive knowledge of Asheville and the homes we were interested in and was able to guide us in finding our dream house (Which we did-Thanks again John). As well as being an excellent realtor John became our social director and guide to all things Asheville. Can’t recommend John high enough and Kudos to his colleague Barclay.

    "This was by far the SMOOTHEST and most effective real estate process"
    Simply put, John Patson is amazing. This is how he helped me: - Arranged showing same day house was listed - Put together offer within hours of showing - Provided clear and concise direction regarding proof of funds - Handled key aspects of negotiation ON CHRISTMAS EVE!- Facilitated due diligence inspections while I was OUT OF TOWN! - Negotiated a LOWER purchase price after due diligence even with backup offers on the table! - From offer to close the house changed hands in 30 DAYS! This was by far the SMOOTHEST and most effective real estate process and transaction I have ever experienced! John cares and his work and communication are superb!

    " I'm very happy with my new home thanks to John!"
    John is one of the most thorough and conscientious real estate brokers I have ever worked with. He persisted in finding a house for me in a very competitive market in a very reasonable amount of time. He was always prompt, was there with me at every step of the process, and always provided expert guidance.The partners he has related to the closing were also very thorough and easy to work with. I'm very happy with my new home.

He learned our wants and needs and was able to steer us toward or away from certain areas and homes for spot-on reasons that he shared with us. We landed in a great house in a great area, and John was a major part of that success.Thank you John!

    "My experience with Dwell Reality and especially John and Barclay is A++"
    John Patson and Barclay Garnett are a dynamic duo to get my house sold. I put my house on the market at the exact wrong time when the interest rates inflated. Little did I know it would take over a year to find a buyer. During that year John and Barclay did everything humanly possible to get my listing noticed both in and out of the office.There is a long list of responsibilities these two took on that were above and beyond what a realtor would do to make sure the property was perfect and I was happy with their service. They also listened to what my needs were, helped me through my anxious moments as a seller, and tried many of my ideas to get the house sold. In the end we found a buyer and even after they were helping with the last few things I couldn’t do as I was out of town. My experience with Dwell Reality and especially John and Barclay is A++

    "I couldn't have made a better choice than Dwell Realty and Stefany Mills!"
    Stefany Mills has done a fantastic job selling my home in South Carolina. She presented every option for every decision I had to make, and the pros and cons for each option. I do not feel I left any money on the table and I feel the buyer got a fair, market price. I have already recommended Stefany to two of my friends.I couldn't have made a better choice than Dwell Realty and Stefany Mills.

    "Incredibly knowledgeable"
    I cannot talk up Derrick from dwell realty enough. He is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and very realistic with his guidance. He has gone above and beyond to help my husband and I find a home- you can tell he really cares about his clients. We switched gears and decided to not buy but build,and even after we changed courses he has offered his assistance and knowledge to help us even without commission. He is genuinely a really great person and I will be recommending him to everyone I know looking for a realtor in the area!!

    Diane Daneau Duval is the best agent I have ever had. I have been in the real estate business for over 40 years and have seen many agents. She is fully invested in her clients. But even more she is just a good person. When I had my house listed with another agent she still reached out to me to see how things were going.She is full of energy and will go more than the extra mile. You will do well to hire you as your agent. You will find no one that will work harder for you and care!

    "Diane was exceptional."
    Diane was exceptional. Her information and knowledge, especially on horse properties was very reassuring. Although we have decided to hold off putting our home on the market at this time Diane will be the person I contact when we are ready. If you are selling or buying a home you will be very luckyto have Diane represent you.

    "Stefany Is Amazing!"
    I have known for years that when I was ready to buy a house Stefany would help me do it. Her knowledge and expertise are valuable assets when you are overwhelmed with information. She made the whole process easy and smooth. I'm only sad I won't be house hunting with her anymore but I do have my dreamhouse keep me happy!

    "If you’re looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and all-around fantastic realtor, Buck is your Guy"
    Working with Buck Schall over the past two years to find our dream property has been an absolute pleasure. From day one, his relaxed and down-to-earth demeanor put us at ease, yet his professionalism and expertise were evident in every step of the process. Buck is an excellent communicator—always prompt,clear, and incredibly responsive. He is thorough and meticulous when evaluating properties, helping us see both the positives and potential challenges we might not have noticed on our own. His honesty and openness made us feel confident that we were making informed decisions. We faced some unique hurdles in both buying and selling, and Buck guided us through every challenge with knowledge, experience, and a steady hand. It was clear throughout the process that he genuinely had our best interest at heart. We couldn’t have done this without him, and we are beyond grateful for his dedication, expertise, and support. If you’re looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and all-around fantastic realtor, Buck is the one you want in your corner! We highly recommend him!

    "Cannot recommend Buck Enough!"
    I cannot recommend Buck enough! My wife and I met Buck at an open house when we started our homestead purchase journey, and what a journey it turned out to be. We met Buck around the Spring of 2023. We needed to sell the house we owned to purchase the house we wanted.We found a house in the Fall of 2023 and went under contract with it. We listed our house a week later using Buck for the sale as well. He set everything up perfectly, but the market took a downturn and we had a lot of competition in our area. We ended up not selling our house and lost the first house by no fault of Buck's. Fast forward a year and we found the perfect homestead for our family! We went under contract quickly and listed our house a few days later around September 21, 2024. The market was much better and there was almost no competition. We had five showings in five days, and on the sixth day, Helene came through and dropped a huge tree on our house. We thought the dream was dead. Buck did not give up and we decided to list the house with the damage and the insurance paperwork showing it would be repaired. We had no cell service or power for over a week, but Buck was still working hard for us on top of dealing with his own storm damage. Because of his hard work, sound advice, and dedication to us and our journey, we sold our house and bought our dream home! Buck was phenomenal and should be given an award for selling a storm-damaged house just over two months after the single most devastating storm to hit WNC in recorded history! If you are considering using Buck, consider no more. You will not regret working with him.

    "Alan is really awesome!"
    Alan is really awesome. He helped us focus on what was important and assured us he would take care of the rest. He helped us through a somewhat stressful process, and made sure we didn’t compromise, until we found the right home for us. También habla español!
    "Alan Estrada is the one to call!"
    Last week, my wife and I moved into our dream home in Mills River, and we couldn't have done it without Alan Estrada at Dwell Realty. We took a big risk by purchasing our new home before selling our previous one, but choosing Alan as our realtor made all the difference. My wife, Jessica Eads,works in mortgage lending with Movement Mortgage and has known Alan through a long-standing professional relationship. Despite having plenty of friends in the real estate business, she was adamant that we work with Alan-and that decision proved to be the best one we could have made. Alan was exceptional from start to finish. He accommodated every request, responded within minutes to any communication, and made the entire process seamless. Thanks to his creative marketing strategies, we had our prior home under contract within just two weeks of listing. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated real estate professional, Alan Estrada is the one to call. Highly recommend!

    "I highly recommend Alan!"
    Alan was super helpful in the process of purchasing our first home. I am so thankful that he was flexible and always able to communicate things that we should look for. It was awesome for him to be able to come out and tour a home about an hour away without him pushing a sale.He always had more information available and asked questions to protect us as buyers. I highly recommend Alan.

    "A FIVE STAR team, for sure!!"
    We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with Byron Greiner and his team at Dwell AVL. We reached out to him a few days after my mother's unexpected death. My brother and I both had to travel from out-of-state to prepare the house for sale.Bryon was there the first weekend and helped us walk through all of the steps needed to put the house on the market. He and his team were always there to answer our questions and advise us on the best options. Her house sold within the first few days! Their professionalism, calm demeanor and thoughtful solutions made for a great experience. A FIVE STAR team, for sure!!

    "He was truely fun to work with."
    Derrick helped us buy our home in Woodfin. We were moving from Austin and looking at homes for almost a year. He was extremely patient throughout the search our search and even checked out homes we were excited about. His knowledge of the Asheville area was invaluable. Once we found our dream home,it was a quick sale. I attribute that to his almost immediate responses to calls, emails, and texts. In addition, he was truely fun to work with.
