Report
Ashley Wilson is a buyer only agent. I won't explain here why this is important; lots of information on this is on the Internet. I just wanted to note in addition that I was impressed with his thorough knowledge of the practical and legal issues involved in buying real estate, his intimate knowledge of the local market, and his sharp eye for structural issues in the houses we looked at. He was also a steadying influence during tense and complicated negotiations. He responded quickly and accurately to all of my calls and emails, and patiently drove me to showings. All of this service for a buyer

My wife and I started to look for property in northeast Tennessee with Ashley in May 2019. I told him at the time we may be a year or two from actually purchasing. He worked with us, as professionally as one could hope for. He was very thorough with each property we saw. His insight to the market, and determination to find exactly the right home for us, led to the best home we could have hoped for, even though because of our time table, we didn't close until May 2021. I am a very exacting and detail oriented person, with high standards. I do not give someone first rate praise lightly. Anyone looking

Report
My wife and I were franticly searching for a home due to our previous house selling before we were able to locate an ideal property. Even during a time were inventory was low, Ashley Wilson with A Buyer's Best Choice Realty, located a magnificent house that was more than we could have hoped for. At first sight, I believed the home to be out of our price range at the time. However, despite my perspective, Mr. Wilson's diligence prevailed. We closed on our new home and did so below market value. Everything was done correctly and expeditiously; from home inspection to closing. We highly recommend

We were moving from out of state (not an easy task with kids in school) and Ashley Wilson went far and above in helping to reduce the stress. He was courteous and professional throughout the entire process. We had to put a tremendous amount of trust in his experience and knowledge of the area to find us a great home in a good school district. Now, we have been here two years and still no regrets, we are so comfortable in our home thanks to Ashley. We recommend Ashley Wilson and A Buyer's Best Choice Realty! You will never question who's interest they represented!
