If you’re looking to buy real estate in Western North Carolina, I can’t recommend Dusty highly enough. My best friend/business partner and I currently live in Rhode Island, but have been looking to move to the great state of North Carolina. Our plan was to purchase raw land and build on it, which is very different from simply buying a home — and not every realtor truly understands all the factors involved. We were very lucky to find Dusty.
We spent months researching potential properties individually along with properties that Dusty found based on what we were looking for. Eventually we flew down to meet him for an entire weekend to walk multiple parcels of land — many of which were not easy to access. Throughout the entire process, Dusty went far above and beyond our expectations.
As first-time land buyers, there was a lot we didn’t know, but Dusty was incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it came to raw land purchases, utilities, access, zoning considerations, and the overall due diligence process. He was always proactive, consistently checking in, answering questions quickly, and guiding us every step of the way. If Dusty didn't know something outright he would always try to find the answer or put us in contact with people that would know the answer.
What really stood out was how down-to-earth and genuine he is. At no point did we feel pressured, and at no point did I doubt that he genuinely wanted us to make the right decision for our long-term goals. He’s an excellent communicator, extremely hardworking, and someone you can trust to have your back throughout the entire process.
We’re incredibly grateful we found him and truly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor experience. Our goal is to buy more land in the area in the future and we look forward to working with him again.
