Client Testimonials

Our experience with Trip Howell as our agent for the purchase AND sale of real estate has been exceptional. Trip is the most effective real estate agent with whom we have ever worked. He is charming and responsive to any and all requests we had made on him. His willingness to go the extra mile to accommodate the principals is without equal. He has been a joy to know.

I've had two great experiences with Trip Howell, the first selling, the second buying. The house I sold in North Asheville was older and needed updates. Trip invested a lot of time to find the best way forward--and we did. I liked a home in West Asheville, but it was overpriced and on the market for months. Trip noticed when the sellers' agent had changed and contacted the new agent. We negotiated a sale within weeks. That's top shelf work. I'll use Trip again if I need a realtor, and I recommend him without reservations.

My husband and I truly appreciate Trip Howell for his superb guidance in successfully selling our house that had been our home for forty years. Trip is professional, knowledgeable and instills confidence. We moved to another state before placing our house on the market, and Trip spent much time at the house getting a personal feel for it. He invested many hours to ensure that all remained well with our unoccupied house and property. He was in daily communication with us regarding the number of showings that were scheduled, and there were many! I think that no one would have worked more diligently for us than Trip, and we have gained a true friend.

My husband and I just closed on a bungalow in Kenilworth that we bought through an agent in your office, Trip Howell.

Trip has been working with us as a buyer’s agent during a period when we were not truly sure we wanted to invest in real estate in Asheville.  A little over a month ago we had pretty much decided to continue renting. However, Trip had been such a great source for us that I continued to stay in touch with him. He put me on the eblast list to update whenever houses of interest came up, etc.

When the little cottage came up in Kenilworth, I immediately picked up the phone and reached out to Trip. It was inconceivable to me at that point that I would not work with him on anything of interest.

We have bought and sold a great deal of real estate by anyone’s measure. I must tell you that working with him has been our most positive experience to date. He is informed, but not pushy. He is professional, but not stuffy. He is fun, but still responsive and responsible.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with him. I am certain had it not been for his making the process so painless my husband would not have purchased at this time.

I just wanted you to know that we will refer your office and specifically Trip in the future.
