    "We landed in a great house in a great area, and John was a major part of that success"

    John is a consummate professional and was an invaluable help in the purchase of our house. 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!

    "John did not disappoint! "

    John Patson is fantastic! Absolutely hands down he made our home buying experience a breeze - he was upfront and honest, gave us a ton of helpful information about the area, was very prompt in all communications, walked us through every step of the home buying process (which can be overwhelming to say the least)and was just a fun person to work with. We were relocating from California so having someone that we trusted was critical. John did not disappoint! I have since recommended him to others and they have had the same experience. I highly recommend him!

    "Loved working with John and his team."

    If I could give him more stars I would! He’s a great, caring and very knowledgeable agent. He showed me many properties and helped me with 2 offers. I could not have been better represented. Loved working with John and his team.

    "I highly recommend giving John a call!"

    I was referred to John by another realtor and he was absolutely fantastic to work with. I couldn't be happier with the attention, guidance, and advice that he provided throughout the entire process. If you are looking for realtor in the Asheville area, I highly recommend giving John a call!

    "Nothing by good vibes from this guy!"

    John was possibly the best match for us as we took the journey into purchasing our first home! He was with us every step of the way and then some. Nothing by good vibes from this guy!

    "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.

    "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!!

    "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++

    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.

    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.

    "Will go more than the extra mile."

    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.

    "I have absolute respect and appreciation for this man"

    I would absolutely recommend John Patson and Dwell Realty Group! John began helping us prepare for our move from Northern California to Asheville, NC a year in advance. Moving, in general, is a very stressful event, but John went above and beyond to help us find the right neighborhood and home.He spent ample time learning all of our needs and requirements for our next home. He's extremely knowledgeable in his field and accommodating. Not only is he intelligent and knowledgeable, but he also has a very high EQ (emotional intelligence), which is a huge plus for us! Honestly, I could not have found a better realtor for such a huge transitional move! We didn't even see our home prior to purchasing; John did all the groundwork for us. I have absolute respect and appreciation for this man. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    "We feel blessed to have found him."

    We were extremely pleased with John as our agent. He is professional, competent, and completely trustworthy. He acted as the agent for my elderly parents, and consequently had some extra challenges with finding them a great home. He never wavered in his kindness and patience towards them.We feel blessed to have found him.

    "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!!

    "Never for one minute do you feel like you 're not her #1 client!"

    Sandra Messer is simply amazing. Never for one minute do you feel like you 're not her #1 client, although I know she must have several at the same time and she is just a genius at balancing it all. Her acumen in the local Real Estate scene is beyond impressive. She's also one of the most kind humans you may ever meet.She somehow manages to be both salt-of-the-earth and the consummate professional at the very same time. 100% would recommend her to absolutely any buyer or any seller. She. Knows. Her. Stuff.

    "All the staff were wonderful at Dwell"

    Browning was just THE best agent! She helped us find the perfect home for our family even though I was being SUPER picky. She was amazing at finding just what we were looking for. All the staff were wonderful at Dwell and if we ever have to sell and buy again we will definitely being using her!!

    "We are so grateful!"

    We were looking for a home at a price point where others were showing up with cash-Zach was incredibly patient and responsive as we lost several bids, even over asking price. I do not even know how many miles were traversed across Buncombe and McDowell counties looking at properties- and we now own a house that is truly a home,can't believe it! We are so grateful. The advice Zach gave was excellent, he talked us down from the ledge (or up from the pit), forecast things accurately, and had a great sense of humor through it all.

    "We were so fortunate to find our realtor"

    When we set off to buy our first home in WNC, we were so fortunate to find our realtor, Sandra Messer, with Dwell. Sandra took the time to get to know us and what we did and didn't want. She was spot on not only finding gems for us to consider, but in finding us the home we wanted to call ours in record time.Sandra is extremely knowledgeable about the area (she's a native), what to look for (both the positives and the negatives) in a home's conditions, but also in the grueling process of the paperwork and closing. She made it easy and fun to be on the hunt, and we really could not be happier with the entire experience.

    "I just found the perfect home"

    I just found the perfect home... Thanks to Zach! We searched on and off for almost 9 months. Often I found myself feeling like a little bit hard to please. Zach was super patient with me, always kept me super informed on everything that was going on, as well as giving me an over bachelors in the way real estate works.After all said and done Zach did everything TO THE T that needed to be done in order for the right place and a smooth closing (I was on vacation for most of it and he still made it easy and everything line up... smooth!) Thanks Dwell thanks Zach can't say it enough!
