What clients say about this agent....
This was my second time working with Margaret and that should tell you something right there. Listening to her advice allowed me to sell my home in one day at $50k over asking. She is knowledgeable, honest, friendly, responsive and experienced. Furthermore, she puts the clients needs ahead of her own. If you are looking for an agent you can depend on for results, you found one.
Margaret is incredibly knowledgeable on the market as well as technical aspects of homes in the area. She has a plethora of resources that she is willing to use to help you find your perfect home. I'm usually a little biased when it comes to using corporate services but I'm glad I had Margaret to walk me through some of the more head pounding aspects of buying a home!
From my experience, Margaret Vestal is simply the best NC realtor for so many reasons. First of all, Margaret really listened and understood our needs to find the right house for us. We had a long aEURoewantaEUR? list for our perfect house, and Margaret kept us informed of homes that met or came close to meeting our requirements. Secondly, Margaret is patient and flexible; Margaret did not make us feel rushed and remained open to new ideas. Thirdly, just a few minutes after meeting Margaret, we instinctively knew we could trust her and that she had our best interests at heart. She advised us to get preapproval for a mortgage in case we found the perfect house (which was key to getting the house we eventually purchased), and she gave us recommendations for great mortgage lenders and a settlement attorney. When people would ask us who our realtor was, they would immediately react, proclaiming aEURoeMargaret is the best.aEUR? And heres the kicker: we were doing all of this from 500 miles away! When we saw houses of interest, Margaret would quickly get appointments to show them to us via Zoom. She looked at potential houses as we would, pointing out areas of concern to us. Furthermore, Margaret knows the market quite well. She was honest with us and let us know which homes would likely stay in our budget once the bidding started (and she was correct every time on houses that we showed interest in). Within a few hours of our perfect house becoming available, Margaret really went above and beyond for us. She quickly scheduled an appointment to show it to us virtually, made recommendations for a solid bid on the house, and got all the paperwork done in just a few hours to compete with other bids. In todays market, having your first bid accepted on your first house is almost unheard of, but we did it with Margarets help! But Margarets help did not stop here: she recommended inspections and was present for them, she answered so many of our questions via email and by phone, and she took away some of the stress involved in buying a home (especially when we were living so far away). Margaret even did the walkthrough at the time of settlement because we chose a aEURoemail awayaEUR? closing. I cannot say enough good things about Margaret and her expertise. She is just the best!
My home buying experience was exceptional thanks to Margaret's professionalism, market knowledge, expertise and efficiency. She guided me throughout the process, ensuring that I was able to purchase the home that I wanted in the midst of a very competitive buyer's market. If you are interested in purchasing a home in the Asheville area, I would highly recommend Margaret!
Margaret helped me and my husband find and purchase our dream home in Asheville under the very competitive scenario that exists today. We were living out of state. Margaret understood what we were looking for and got the listing to us immediately. She did a zoom walk thru that afternoon and helped craft our offer the next day.After the bid was accepted she oversaw all aspects of the close with great professionalism and responsiveness. If this werent our forever home wed use Margaret again in a heartbeat! Susan
If you are relocating to Asheville, do yourself and your stress level a favor and hire Margaret. Margaret knows and understands this area and this market. She communicated with me so effectively that she understood my needs, preferences, budget and taste. She never wasted a moment of my time. She worked into the night preparing my offer and I followed her advice on bidding, earnest money, and contingencies. Margaret helped me get my dream home in an almost impossible market. She has my highest recommendation. Give Margaret a call and start packing... you'll be home soon.
I cannot recommend Margaret strongly enough. Her experience, advice, responsiveness and professionalism are among the best I have dealt with. Do yourself a big favor and go with Margaret.
Margaret was an absolute delight to work with! When we began this process, we werent exactly sure what we were looking for. Margaret patiently shared her extensive knowledge of the area and the market to guide us to the perfect home. Margaret has an incredible eye for detail. She can quickly and keenly spot potential issues and highlight important assets of a property. Her ability to hear her clients and get to the bottom of what theyre really after also contributes to her fantastic negotiation skills. Margaret works efficiently and effectively with the sellers and their agent as well as all involved in the process. She is both a strong advocate and supportive guide through what can be a pretty tense and emotional journey. With so many folks getting licensed these days, it can be hard to find someone who has not just the education and expertise, but also the talent, skills, and temperament that make for an truly outstanding real estate agent. Margaret exceeds expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Western North Carolina area!
Margaret was fantastic! We were first time home buyers, and she really took the time to walk us through the process. She was always quick to respond and never pressured us to make a bid that we werent comfortable with it. We would definitely work with her again if we ever decided to buy another house.
Margaret was a joy to work with, and helped us understand the unique Asheville market. She was personable, quick to respond to questions, and always made herself available. We would highly recommend Margaret, especially for anyone relocating to Asheville!
