Testimonials
“This is the 3rd transaction I've done with Lori. I met her in 2017 when I initially purchased my land when she represented the seller. She then assisted me in selling the extra acreage I didn't need. Finally, she just sold the home I built in 2019 and thought I would stay for the rest of my life. But life changes and so you change. I decided I needed to move back to Florida to be closer to family and water. I never thought about listing my home with anyone other than Lori. She is the consummate professional, easy going, and always on top of everything. I can't recommend her enough. Sherri”

“My fiance and I recently purchased a large tract of land in Edneyville. Lori Gonce has an incredible wealth of knowledge, from knowing the history of the property, to performing extensive research on any questions we had throughout the process. She was professional, responsive, and extremely attentive to our needs. The best realtor we have worked with hands down. We have continued to contract her services in our search for another home, and will use her for all future transactions! Thank you Lori for making this process so easy and enjoyable.”
Genevieve Edwards
“Lori is one of the most knowledgeable realtors I have ever dealt with in my 40 years of buying and selling homes and land. She knows this area better than others and knows land, something many realtors don't. We used her services recently to sell 2 parcels of land, asking a much higher price than the comps. We sold them quickly. She was on the ball during the whole due diligence period to make sure it went to closing. It was a very smooth process from my perspective. I will never use anyone else should I ever need real estate services again.”
Sherri Cappabianca
“This is our 3rd time using Apple Country Realty and we have used Lori Gonce all 3 times. She has been absolutely amazing. She helped us buy our first home. Then when we wanted to sell, she was so knowledgeable about how we needed to fix things to get it on the market etc, and we had a buyer in 2 days. And most recently just helped us to buy our new home. I would definitely use her and Apple Country Realty again.”
Cindy and Stephen Roberts
“We have bought and sold many homes over the years and we have NEVER had an agent like Lori Gonce. She is one in a million! Since we were buying while in Alaska, it was an anxious event but Lori went above and beyond to get to know us, our desires, and our style of living. She did live video showings and worked with our schedule of a 4 hour time difference. She was candid and honest with her opinions of properties based on her astute perceptions of our life style. We had extreme confidence in her opinions. Again because we were in Alaska she took over all the aspects of inspections and appointments and it was an incredible 19 days from contract signing to closing. I have never experienced such an easy and stress free exchange in my 45 years of buying and selling homes. If I could nominate her for an award, I’d do it in a second.”

S. Livingston
“My wife and I could not have been happier with our realtor, Lori Gonce. From the first conversation we had with her, she was a tireless, knowledgeable, and energetic advocate, a consummate communicator, and exactly the professional we needed to secure our forever property. We consider her not only our agent but also a friend, and will surely recommend her and Apple Country Realty to friends and family pursuing property transactions in Western North Carolina. We couldn't be happier with the entire process!”
Patrick & Amy Hittle
“Thanks again for all the many hours of looking, driving, writing contract. If you want the best, call Lori. If you want a mess, call the rest.”

Lori was pleasant and professional throughout the process, responding quickly to questions and keeping us informed during each aspect of the transactions.

“Lori Gonce has, again, been absolutely amazing. She is knowledgeable, professional, and at the same time, has great warmth. I would recommend her to friends and family alike.”
Elizabeth Antonucci
“We thoroughly enjoyed working with Lori on this recent lot sale, and are so glad we were introduced to her years ago when we were first looking for a home in North Carolina. She is a professional in every sense of the word; hard-working, knowledgeable, efficient and personable. She is also very patient, encouraging and detail-oriented, working to make sure everything goes smoothly with all aspects of a sale or purchase. We have worked with her as both a buyers’ and seller’s agent and can’t imaging working with anyone else.”
