“I would like to take time to thank Apple realty and especially June Barnwell for the exceptional job done in selling my property in Hendersonville. Living in Winston-Salem for the last few decades, I had no idea of property or market values. June helped us greatly through the process and was an immense help til the end of closing. Thanks to Apple Country Realty for making this such a pleasant experience. My mother was in real estate sales for years in the area, and it was great to be treated like she treated clients-- with integrity and aplomb. I really value the effort and generous help that we received.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Did a great job. Very professional and sold the house in 3 days above the list price.”

“I have heard that this is a seller’s market.  This was not the reason why I decided to list my house, but rather because of family circumstances, my decision to move close to my daughter was the purpose of the relocation.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think that after the professionally done pictures were posted it would sell in 45 minutes!  Amanda did an amazing job of promoting the house, which I truly believed was going to take months to sell because of a technicality.  When a problem developed in the basement with a small amount of moisture on the walls, she was on it and remedied the situation to the buyers approval. She answered any questions and concerns I had immediately and professionally – never giving me an obscure or indirect answer. Would I recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trusted and valued realtor?   Without hesitation! Thank you, Apple Country Realty and Amanda.”

“Thank you Apple Country Realty and Eric who provided the best experience I could have asked for.  He is the "Best" and took care of every detail in an expedient manner and I totally recommend Apple Country Realty if you want to sell your home!!!!  It was quickly done and the best I could ever ask for as Eric went out of his way to ensure all was taken care of.  Thank you Apple Country Realty and especially Eric!!!!  ”

“Loved working with Lori at Apple Country.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Apple Country Realty is an excellent company--large enough to have all necessary resources while being small enough to feel like real people (instead of corporate entities!). Ashlee is the best real estate agent we've ever dealt with. She was attentive, professional, and extremely skilled at responding with just what we needed (which varied lots during our 2-year search for our mountain home). During the search itself (most of which was done from afar), she promptly responded to any queries, sometimes even suggesting things to think about that we were unaware of. During the actual house visits, she was peacefully in the background as we talked through the pros and cons of the different houses. Once when she saw that we were especially interested in a house but worried about a zoning issue, she got on her phone and contacted a few people to get some answers. And she was truly exceptional during the inspection period, helping us get all of the tests we wanted and helping us interpret the results. We've even called her a couple of times since we moved in with questions about the area. She is always friendly and helpful. Ashlee Gonce is an excellent real estate agent.”

“We have dealt with Mrs. June Barnwell twice now and she is without a doubt one of the best realtors we have known. She is always quick to respond to a phone call, extremely courteous, and helpful. If we ever need a realtor again, we will call her.”

“We were very pleased with June and everyone there that we dealt with. The agents all seem to be local folks and that was a nice experience. Relocating from one state to another is always difficult, but June made it so much easier. We just felt very fortunate in dealing with Apple Country Realty. Everyone was very professional from the beginning to the end of our finding "the perfect" land. We are looking forward to having them as neighbors.”

“Our experience with Apple Country Realty and June Barnwell was very pleasant. She always did what she said she would, she was punctual, informative, and helpful when her opinion was asked for. We will use her again and have already recommended her to several friends.”

“We are quite happy to have had Apple Country Realty handle the sale of our property. We worked with June Barnwell and found her to be professional, thorough, and very helpful in guiding us through the process. We would not hesitate to recommend Apple Country Realty and June Barnwell to our friends.”

“With the help of June Barnwell, we purchased our dream dwelling in WNC. Ms. Barnwell's assistance was more than welcome. Her honesty and sincerity was the factor in our association with Apple Country Realty. We would highly recommend your company to anyone selling or buying.”

“Our experience with Apple Country Realty both times has been very positive and pleasant. Everyone on staff was polite and friendly. Our agent, June, was very patient with us and took us to many possibilities, which we found. I asked for June again when we needed the services of a realtor as I felt she was honest and trustworthy. We were very satisfied with Apple Country Realty.”

“I had to leave my mobile home in Hendersonville, NC suddenly for health reasons and was very pleased by the kind and efficient help I received from June and the crew at Apple Country Realty in selling my property by long distance. Thank you!”

“When I came to Hendersonville 11 years ago, I saw the Apple Country Realty sign on the way into town and it said, "Your First Friend in Hendersonville." Well, that turned out to be truly the case then and it still is now. Jeff and Joanne Donaldson have become more than just competent professionals in helping to sell and purchase, but have remained good friends and neighbors through it all. In today's world of high-tech gadgets and fast-paced business, it is a breath of fresh air not only to be treated like a person instead of a number, but to be taken in almost like a member of the family. From a client's point of view, I can honestly say that rating Apple Country Realty on a scale of one to ten, they are truly a 10 plus!”
