My wife and I had lived for the previous 27 years in Colorado and New Mexico, but as our kids and grandchildren are in North Carolina and Kentucky, we wanted to relocate so that we could spend more time with them. We had done some internet searching and felt that the Asheville area would best meet our requirements. So cold turkey we called Mark.Well I must say, Mark is one very patient person. We did numerous searches through every database we could find and made lists of places we wanted to see. We flew into Asheville several times and met with Mark. Through discussions and home viewing Mark pretty well figured out what we wanted and where in the area we would like to live. As we are somewhat picky, this took considerable time, but Mark was considerate and patient. He advised us on what/where would best fit our requirements. And he showed us many places at our request before we finally settled on the house that we purchased in an incredible neighborhood. I highly recomend Mark! And we have recomended him to our friends and family who have chosen to relocate in this area.
