Testimonials

“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.”

“We loved our experience working with Ashlee to buy our lot in Hendersonville. She always had our best interests in mind, whether communicating with listing agents, putting us in touch with HOAs or city departments, or just making sure we were looking in areas where we could get reliable high-speed internet. I would recommend Ashlee and Apple Country to anyone looking to buy in Henderson County. Thank you so much!”

“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!”

“All of our dealings with Apple Country Realty and Jeff Donaldson were always handled in a very professional manner. Our property was previously listed with another brokerage firm for almost two years without a single prospect. Apple Country Realty was able to bring two contracts, of which one turned out to be the buyer of the property. We live in another state. All of the paperwork was done by mail with no problems.”

“In the course of my recent property sale and purchase, I had total confidence in Jeff Donaldson's assistance. He was very professional in handling the transaction and offered sound counsel in developing the sale. He was most cooperative. From my experience, I would certainly call on him again and wholeheartedly recommend him to others.”

“Apple Country Realty has been the most professional realty company I have done business with. The fast and friendly service, smooth operation, and professionalism will make and keep Apple Country Realty #1 in Henderson County. I would like to thank Jeff Donaldson for the hard work he did for me. The property I was selling was difficult to market but he took the bull by the horns and marketed it with all his talent and succeeded when others failed. Jeff and Apple Country Realty will always be my choice in Henderson County. ”

“The experience I had with Apple Country Realty is that everyone I talked to or had contact with were very professional and friendly. They ran a lot of advertisements. I had a low price house and what I saw was they put as much attention into it as if it were a big sell house. It seemed they wanted to sell the house as bad as I did. Thanks Jeff and to all of Apple Country Realty for your help in selling my house.”

“Dear Eric, I want to sincerely thank you for your assistance with helping my daughter purchase her first home! We would not have been able to do this without your guidance, patience, and persistence. Since she is just starting out on her own, it was extremely important to me that she was an informed buyer. You made that happen! You have great insight and always went the extra mile to ensure the potential home was in a safe neighborhood. During her search, you taught us both so much about the home buying process! I sincerely mean it when I say that we could NOT have successfully gone through this with any other realtor! You treated her as if she was your own daughter. I can't begin to express to you how much that meant to me. To be able to trust someone, put faith in their advice, and know they have your best interest at heart is very hard to find! We found that with you and I will always be thankful for that. If anyone in our family looks to purchase real estate in our area, you will be the one we reach out to!”

“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Lori Gonce of Apple Country Realty for both a sale and a purchase. Lori was pleasant and professional throughout the process, responding quickly to questions and keeping us informed during each aspect of the transactions. She is very knowledgeable, with intelligent insights into marketing and managing her real estate business. I would definitely recommend Lori and would certainly be pleased to have her represent us in our future real estate dealings. ”

“We could not be happier with the service and attention we received during the process. Lori went way farther than she had to!”

“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.”

“Jacque is so helpful!”
