Scott Russell was fantastic. If there was ever a question, he was quick to respond. He was knowledgeable and helped us make the right decisions regarding how and when to sell. It was worth the money to have him help with the sell of our house. Highly recommended.

Had the best possible experience with my real estate agent, Shannon Darnell, and couldnt have been more pleased with her professionalism, patience, personality, and enthusiasm for my property. Both she and Scott Russell took the time to understand my hopes and vision for the property and to appreciate its promise. Any and all questions I had were promptly and completely answered, no matter how mundane or complicated. I cannot recommend Shannon Darnell highly enough!

I have been a fan of Scott's professional and seasoned experience for years! He has assisted me with two real estate closings in years past. This year, Shannon worked with me and she was equally as excellent. As an Attorney and real estate professional myself, I highly recommend this group!

Kathy and I always enjoyed Black Mountain and its fun folks. And when the time came, we wanted to retire here. I came across Bob Sadlemire of Freestone Properties. He was great from first contact. Bob is an effective and experienced pro. He helped us identify a great build lot. It did not take much time (or drama). I recommend him.

Shannon Darnell helped my boyfriend and I purchase a piece of land in Black Mountain and she is the best! She consistently went above and beyond our expectations. Her knowledge of the area and the right people to get jobs done made everything easier. Every time we hit what felt like a roadblock she was in the background deftly working to make it more of a small speed bump. Her communication was not only timely, but often preempted our needs, it was amazing. Throughout the entire process the one consistent comment that my boyfriend and I kept saying to each other was "thank goodness we found Shannon

Freestone was a great help in finding what is proving to be our dream house. Shannon and Scott understood what we were interested in, were sensitive to our particular, subjective preferences, and provided crucial, objective financial and market analysis to help us understand the likely value of the properties we were interested in, including the wonderful home we bought. We recommend them unreservedly and enthusiastically.
