We were so lucky to work with Allison Pries at Mountainscape Realty. When we found our dream house in the woods, Allison worked diligently to make sure all of the little details were handled and consulted with us throughout the process to ensure our preferences were met whenever possible. She was very responsive and knowledgeable which helped relieve a lot of the stress of selling and buying back-to-back. Without a doubt, we will use Allison again if we are ever in the market to purchase a home in this part of NC.

Mountainscape Realty is top notch in all they do. We could not be happier with our purchase thru them and Mr. Scott Cronk, our awesome agent who was never our of reach even when he was on vacation. Scott and the team were all you could ask for in the buying process and helped our dreams come true. They are not going to steer you or pressure in their beliefs, and will listen to what you want. I recommend them 10 out of 10 times to anyone.

I worked with Eric Brooks extensively to find the right property. Given the growing popularity of Ashe County, I put Eric through the paces to help me find what I was looking for. Eric served as a candid buyer's agent, sharing with me any concerns I should have, given my needs and priorities. In the end, I found exactly what I wanted. Thank you, Eric. Great job.

My wife and I had no idea what we were doing as we embarked on our goal of getting vacation property on the New River but Scott eased us into it and taught us along the way. He also worked diligently to take care of many of the details that went above and beyond his duty. It was a real pleasure and we're now happily enjoying life on river thanks to Scott. And we look forward to having him out to visit for many years to come.
