Client Testimonials

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.

Jackie Dirscherl is a friendly and highly organized agent. We began by discussing our priorities for neighborhoods and desired features then she showed us numerous homes. After we found the ideal home, Jackie led us through each step of the buying process; due to her efficiency, the complex process felt very comfortable. She answered all of our questions clearly and effectively: she's an excellent communicator. We recommend Jackie highly.

LeAnn was excellent to work with every step of the way in the sale of my home -- from our initial meeting, to working out a timeline, to explaining the steps in the process, to making sure that I did not get overwhelmed. She is an experienced professional and knowledgeable of the market. It was a hassle-free process for me. She is clear and organized in all her communications. I highly recommend her.

Working with Bill made us feel like we had a lot of experience on our team even though we were first-time buyers in a particularly competitive market. The home search was enjoyable due to Bill’s very useful and focused advice. Bill’s experience was most evident during negotiations, the home sale, and continued support after closing. We would recommend him to anyone buying a home in Western North Carolina.

Throughout the entire home buying process, Bill proved himself to be knowledgeable and supportive. His years of experience informed his advice regarding which homes would best suit our needs. He nudged us away from houses that would have cost us too much time and money, and he gently suggested homes that fit what we were looking for. He was readily available and open to questions. We could not have asked for a better realtor! 

Bill was exactly the realtor to make things happen while considering your lifestyle, goals, and aspects you consider critical when buying or selling. After a tough search, we found the perfect home. Bill kept me up to date, but not overwhelmed, during the process. Years later, I reached out to Bill to help sell the home as I had relocated. He went WAY above and beyond, coordinating services and cleaners to meet our timeline. We had the home sold with multiple offers within 48 hours, and I couldn't be more grateful how things concluded!

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.

Sarah Howell is amazing. She took time with our very picky needs and gave us very targeted advice when we were unsure of what we wanted to commit to. I would not hesitate to recommend her AT ALL. She is also just fun to hang out with when you are going through this stressful process!! 

I first contacted Sarah Howell about 4 years before we actually bought a second home in Asheville. She was attentive and genuinely listened and educated me about the real estate market in the area. Sarah answered any questions and worked hard to show us houses in a large radius around Asheville. Now, we have been enjoying our place on a lovely mountain, East of Asheville. In the final negotiations, Sarah is fierce in protecting her client’s interests and has been a lasting friend and consultant to us on our journey as homeowners.

Sarah Howell is a wonderful agent to work with! This was my first time buying a home, plus it was a sellers market, but she helped me navigate the whole thing and I found the perfect house!
