Reviews of Laurie Reese | Reese Real Estate, Inc.

Karen Willey

Laurie Reese is an absolute marvel. We were looking to buy in a crazy market from out of state. Communication was a breeze and Laurie was always extremely timely in her response. She was able to facetime viewings for us. When we finally purchased our home, Laurie had suggestions for carpenter and insurance and cleaner and any other service person we might need. Each one she recommended was top of the line and able to assist us immediately. We highly recommend Reese Real Estate if you are looking to relocate in or to Asheville!

Leila Oliver

Laurie , was wonderful to work with while selling our house in Asheville , NC. She always communicated clearly and promptly and gave us honest and accurate input on the best way to market the house . Even more impressive than her professional efficiency is her caring attitude toward both seller and buyer ! She always goes the extra mile to make sure everyone has a positive experience .

Frank Milko

Laurie is extremely knowledgeable, always available, highly proactive and very helpful. She also is just incredibly kind, funny and positive, and a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling property.

A. Corbin

Laurie is an excellent realtor. Patient and kind, with a sharp eye for aesthetics. She helped us find a home in a very difficult and competitive market. I got a great deal on my house and it is in a neighborhood I love. Laurie was always quick to respond to all of my many, many questions. I know she works with many clients but she always made us feel like we were the only ones. She has relationships with fantastic local vendors and resources who were also helpful during the closing process. She has a deep knowledge of neighborhoods and communities. I would definitely recommend Laurie!

Daniel Koester

Laurie Reese is an enthusiastic, friendly, and very well-informed agent who we highly recommend to anyone moving into the Asheville area. Being new to this area, we really appreciated her deep knowledge of the dynamic Asheville real estate market. Laurie did a great job of sharing newly listed homes with us that matched our requirements, as well as promptly scheduling showings. When we finally found the perfect home, we felt confident that Laurie would successfully guide us on making a winning offer, which she did! Once under contract, Laurie connected us with vetted professionals to handle every aspect of the transaction, including general inspection, qualified contractors, land surveyor, and closing attorney, to name a few. She was also on point with handling communication and issue resolution with the seller. We feel very fortunate that we had Laurie as our buyer’s agent and also that she has become a good friend. Thanks so much for everything, Laurie!

Heidi Thompson

We have used Laurie twice to search for a property/house and once to sell a property, and I highly recommend her. She communicates well and is so pleasant. She really listens to what we are looking for and sends us good information. She is a trooper when we want to go see things off the beaten path. We are not yet in the Asheville area (soon!), and she is great at working with us long-distance.

John Reaume

I wish there was an option to add a 6th star. Laurie is just great. As a realtor, as a person. We have now bought 2 homes with Laurie, and each time, it was so smooth, and nearly effortless on our part. Cannot recommend enough!!

Julie Lizarralde

I have known Laurie for years to be an extremely diligent advocate for her clients as a long-time reputable realtor in the Asheville market. This was the first time I had been able to work with her as my personal realtor. Her knowledge of the local market, connections with the various parties involved in the home-buying process, and professionalism throughout the entire experience exceeded my expectations. She made finding the home, getting us under contract, and through closing extremely easy. I highly recommend her.

Harley Burns

This was my first time buying a home, and Laurie was so knowledgeable, flexible, and helpful! We had a lot of questions and it took a lot longer than we thought due to the market, but Laurie was so patient and had a lot of great insight.When it came to finding contractors and getting estimates, she was also really well connected, and those contractors spoke very highly of her. Thanks, Laurie!

Christian Kaufman

What would we do without Laurie?! Navigating this wild housing market is stressful enough, but as first-time homebuyers, it's tough to know which step to take first, and where. Luckily, a friend recommended starting with Laurie Reese as our realtor, and the hazy clouds of the home buying process seemed to part. She is super responsive, informative, and we always felt supported and sure-footed in our decisions (even though we are beginners)! Laurie has found the fine balance between trusting her clients to make the best decision for their lifestyle and budget, as well as providing KEY recommendations when needed without biases or ever feeling pushy. We started looking for houses with Laurie in December 2020, when it seemed everyone else did too. I noticed new listings were often going under contract the same day, and as a healthcare professional working long hours, I sent her an email saturated with anxiety, wondering if we would ever be able to find an affordable place on my few days off. She responded with kindness, reassurance, and confidence. I really felt like she had my back. Using the housing website she recommended, I was browsing houses on my day off in the morning and found one which seemed to fit the bill. We saw it that afternoon, placed an offer after viewing, and it was accepted that very night. Wowee!! Laurie is extremely kind, knowledgeable, positive, and I trusted her completely to represent our values and needs in the inevitable negotiations with the sellers. She has great connections in the Asheville area, and every recommendation she provided from start to "finish" was spot-on. Finish is in quotes because she is STILL available for recommendations for projects we are working on in our new home after the sale. We feel so lucky to be able to buy a house this year in general, but have been so fortunate to have Laurie on our side through it all. Our friend's recommendation for Laurie was an absolute game-changer, so take our recommendation here and make it happen for you too!! Best of luck!

Benjamin Adams-Doolittle

Laurie was great. Somewhat difficult closing and she was on it from day one. Always responsive and addressing our needs. Easy to get in touch with and quick to answer any questions. If we ever buy a house again in Asheville no question we will be using her. She is great. Now to update. We really wanted to sell our old home and of course who did we turn to? Laurie has been a dream throughout the whole process. Whether it be finding the right people to work on the home to get it ready to sell, helping us get it on the market quickly, or calming my nerves at just the right times so that everything went smoothly. She is kind, patient, persistent and extremely easy to work with. I cannot thank her enough for helping our family in so many ways. If you are looking the best agent in town, look no further, Laurie will go above and beyond.

Drew Allman

Laurie was great! We have purchased 5 houses over our lives and we have never had a realtor that we really liked. Typically, we either felt like we were doing all of the work or they were weak from a negotiation perspective. This is not the case with Laurie! Not only did she provide us with excellent advice with regard to the Asheville area, we were able to get the home for $100k less than what the seller originally posted the house for. We would recommend Laurie to anyone!

Morgan Hollifield

Laurie was amazing to work with. When we decided to sell our home we wanted to be pretty hands off in the entire process. Laurie accepted that challenge and had our home sold in 10 days!! If you are needing someone to work hard for you Laurie is the one to do just that! She always responded to my questions quickly(even late nights and weekends!) She helped us navigate difficult situations and always lended great advice when decisions needed to be made. I don’t think our home would have sold as quickly and at such a wonderful price if it hadn’t been for Laurie.

Erica Staehling

Laurie provided us a very smooth experience buying a vacation home in Western NC, despite us living a few states away. She was able to video conference with us for the showing, helped us negotiate a great price well under ask, expertly arranged all of the necessary inspections and contractors, worked around our vacation schedule to show us the place while it was under contract, and just generally was a pleasure to work with and get to know. She is very proactive about keeping in touch, even after the purchase, and she is always responsive when you reach out to her for help. She has great contacts and recommendations for anything you might need before, during, or after the home buying process, from financing to plumbing. She's also personable and easy to be around. You won't be disappointed if you choose her as your realtor!

Mike Jance

You won't find a more honest, caring, sweet, hard working agent anywhere. There's no way I could have made it through the stress of buying our house without Laurie. 30 years of being a contractor I've worked with tons of real estate agents, a lot of whom I would classify as lower than used car salesmen, Laurie is definitely the exception. Never did it even occur to me to think that she had anything but my interests and well being in mind. I've often thought that real estate commissions were excessive, but I have to say Laurie deserves every penny she made on our transaction and then some. Do yourself a favor-stop looking for an agent and call her, she's the best.

Christine Martens

Laurie did a great job helping us find a house - she was not pushy, even though it took us a while to find something. She sent us a few suggestions every week or two, and we picked the ones we thought were a possibility to go see. She kept us timely with our paperwork and did a great job making sure everything went smoothly. She's easy to communicate with - always gets back to us very promptly, and is nice to talk with. Highly recommended.

Ryan Willard

Laurie has to be one of the kindest, funniest, and most thoughtful people I have ever met—and working with her to buy a first home was so much fun! She knows Asheville and the surrounding area incredibly well, and always remembers to point out small details about properties I would have surely overlooked. Laurie’s expertise and patience when we weren’t sure what to do at multiple stages during home buying process made the whole experience run smoothly and we’re incredibly happy in our new home!

Laurie Freeman

My husband and I have been thinking about buying a home in Asheville for a while, but were "on the fence". Laurie knew we weren't completely committed, but she stayed in contact with us and sent us dozens of homes to consider. She met us on several occasions to show places we were interested in and never once made us feel like we were not 'serious buyers '. We actually came close a few weeks ago and let me tell you, she was on it! Her knowledge of the area, her connections with other people in the real estate industry and her professionalism make her an excellent agent. Plus, she's just a really nice person. I highly recommend Laurie Reese if you're looking to make a move.

Linda Gale

Laurie was responsible for finding my daughter’s first home in the Asheville area. She is a wonderful realtor and a very nice person. I will absolutely use her again. She works hard but also is very flexible and tuned in with her clients. I felt that she had my daughter’s best interest in mind the entire time. She was tireless in her efforts and always very pleasant and kind. She’s very organized and proficient and understands the realty business. She was very helpful throughout the entire process. She really advocates for her clients.I can’t say enough good things about her.

Erin Moore

As a first time home buyer in a new city, Laurie brought the perfect combination of neighborhood knowledge, clear direction, and patient understanding. She was proactive (not pushy!) in helping identify properties based on my needs and helped me identify negotiating points in a competitive market. We were on an tight close schedule and her ability to quickly navigate relationships with electricians, roofers, plumbers, the listing agent and inspectors was truly a marvel. She works tirelessly to ensure that each detail is addressed with utmost care and consideration (even and especially under time constraints!). Her support, humility, enthusiasm, and guidance was invaluable to me throughout the process.

Sharon Segal

We recommend Laurie Reese as a realtor whole-heartedly and without reservation. We are from out of the area and she expertly guided us and helped us find and buy our awesome home in the exact part of Asheville we wanted to live. Laurie was a constant source of invaluable information and support throughout the entire process. She knows the area intimately, and immediately understood our wants and needs and was able to show us houses that met our very picky criteria. She was always very responsive and sought out answers and advice when needed. She helped us envision the potential of our house, and was able to connect us with anyone and everyone we needed and will need to make our dreams a reality. The purchase was not without its hiccups, and Laurie stood by us and was able ensure that all ended smoothly and in our best interests. But most importantly, and best of all, Laurie is one of the nicest, most caring, proactive, funniest, special people we have ever had the privilege of working with, and we look forward to continuing our great friendship for many years to come.

Margaret Johnson

This is my second time working with Laurie Reese. Laurie is absolutely the best, so kind, so helpful and always goes the extra mile. Thank you, Laurie!

Jeremy Spielman

In a business that is full of individuals looking to represent you, it can be challenging to know who to go with. Laurie Reese is one of those few people who can quickly understand your needs in a home and at the same time make you feel at ease in collaboration and decision making. She is exceptionally responsive and respectful to the process and the importance of the decision being made. Numerous times she adjusted and accommodated to what worked best for me and made it all feel painless. I cannot say enough about Laurie. She is someone who by the end of the home buying process feels more like an old friend than an agent. There are so many boxes to be checked in finding the right person to work with you, and Laurie checks all of those boxes. Most importantly, she communicates in a way that makes you feel in the know while at the same time feeling understood and comfortable about the process from start to finish. I highly recommend Laurie to anyone who is starting this process or who has hit a wall and needs another approach.

Madison Marra

As a first time home buyer, I was very happy to have Laurie as my realtor. She was very helpful in walking me through each step involved in finding and purchasing a home. She is very personable, efficient, and responsive! Highly recommend to anyone looking for homes in and around Asheville.

Mike White

My family worked with Laurie for over a year finding the right place. We got in contact with her before we moved into the area and she has been amazing at finding us our dream. If you want a realtor who goes the extra mile and actually listens to you she is your gal. Even when there was a hiccup or two she rolled with it with a smile and got it done. We couldn't be happier with the service she provided and just with her as a person. She made it on our Christmas card list and that's a tough one to get on!

Katelynn Graeme

Laurie was kind, supportive, and incredibly attentive in helping us to find our dream home. She was patient with us and anytime we need paperwork or help with negotiations she was easily accessible and very quick to respond. I could not recommend her enough! Thank you Laurie!

Cindy Bowers

On many occasions I have worked with Laurie through mutual clients. She has impressed me with her real estate knowledge. She genuinely has her client's best interest at heart. She responds quickly to questions, even on weekends and after normal work hours. She a real pleasure to work with.

Devin Asaro

Laurie is a great advocate for her clients. We're first-time homebuyers and she has walked us through every step of the process and given us the confidence we need to find a home we love. She just makes things happen and takes stress away from the homebuyer. Couldn't recommend her enough.

Sarah C

Laurie has been my buyer’s agent for two houses and seller’s agent for one. I trust her implicitly to make sure all of those pesky details that come with buying and or selling a house are handled timely and professionally. She seems to have an endless supply of patience and good humor plus the required in-depth knowledge that marks the difference between a good real estate agent and a great one!

Helene Marcoux

Laurie is the best thing that happened to me. My transition was so quick, I had no time to think things out and she was there with all my questions. She is a true professional with skills to put one at ease. Her responses to my communications were quick with excellent advice. From the moment I signed on with her, I knew I was in the right hands. She anticipated many of my needs and made my transition of home seller seamless. I HIGHLY recommend Laurie.

Nora Daniel

Laurie Reese is a fabulous real estate agent and a delightful person. She is intuitive and upbeat, and did an amazing job as a buyers agent finding me a home, as well as negotiating the purchase in a tough seller's market. She really knows her stuff, and I would absolutely call on her again. Highly recommend

James Garland

We were fortunate enough to come across Laurie Reese and her agency during a long and exhaustive search for lots and land Asheville and the surrounding markets. She is not only extremely knowledgeable of the area, demographics, zoning, rules and building codes but also well-connected with surveyors, we’ll companies, buncombe County GIS, septic system inspectors and more. A truly professional real estate experience, handled properly and with great communication! If you’re looking for a new resideny, raw land or a lot in Asheville or surrounding markets, We can highly recommend her. James Garland

Lila V

It was a pleasure dealing with Laurie. She helped me with the purchase of a small piece of land across from my home. Slightly less than an acre. Having her on my side definitely helped me acquire the land, without her, it is very likely that the green view from my home would have been replaced with only a house and no yard. So grateful she helped me save a green slice of nature where I can plant a lovely vegetable and native pollinator garden.

Tracey Delaney

We were happy to have found Laurie! She did a wonderful job in securing us our new home. We found her to be very engaging and responsive. She accommodated our home search, which was made more complicated because we live in Maryland. She navigated every concern and had an arsenal of experts to help us to address every issue. We highly recommend her!

Grace Repass

Laurie found a house in our desired location and price range. She helped us complete paperwork in a timely manner. She scheduled our inspection, appraisal, survey, and various quotes for due diligence items. The entire process was easier because of Laurie’s expertise.

Michelle Marra

Laurie was a tremendous help when we purchased our house. I have sold and purchased real estate many times over the years and she was honest, knowledgeable and professional from beginning to end. If she didn't know an answer, she was quick to find an answer or a solution. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!!

Brook van der Linde

I've worked with Laurie twice now and both experiences have been seamless. She keeps the whole process on track and moving forward. If you are looking for an easy and joyful home buying or selling experience, Laurie is your agent.

Laurie was immensely helpful, kind and effective in our search for land! She took the time to chat with us and get to know the ins and outs of our real estate wants and needs - and then searched for available properties accordingly. We are not from the NC area, so when we visited she met with us in person to show us around the property area and answer any questions we had. She also connected us to some of the best in the business - land surveyors, soil scientists, builders, etc. Everything we needed during our due diligence process. We recommend 110%!!!

Reverb Eration

Laurie helped us to purchase our home and we were quite happy with her services. Very responsive and followed up with each and everyone of our requests. I would highly recommend her if you are buying, or selling a home.

Kelly Wargo

Laurie Reese did an amazing job preparing us during the bidding and under contract phases of our house hunt. She has so much industry knowledge and a wide network of vendors to consult during the due diligence period. She executes her job with graceful tenacity. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Deborah Turner

Laurie was incredible to work with! Her attention to detail and follow-through along with her timely communication certainly facilitated the entire process. She held our hands from beginning to to end and connected us with other professionals that helped make everything fall together wonderfully. She lined up all the right people and got things done quickly making the whole buying/selling process flow smoothly. So grateful to have her by our side!

Jay Hammond

Laurie was absolutely exceptional to work with. We were looking for a small, move-in ready house close to downtown & the UNCA campus in a pretty budget price range; not an easy find to say the least. When we would look at houses that weren't quite right for us, Laurie was fully supportive and listened attentively. Then she showed us the literal perfect house the day it went on the market, before it even hit most realty listing sites. She helped us put in the first offer and we got it! We would have never found it without her, despite bring on top of our internet searches. She was a dream to work with during negotiations with the seller and had fantastic recommendations for just about every step of the process if you asked for them (while simultaneously never putting any pressure on us to go with anyone she recommended). She knows the market, listens closely, has the speediest turn around, and will do everything she can to help you find what you're looking for. A fantastic agent and the loveliest person!

James Parks

Laurie is a very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful agent. She recently helped us sell our condominium, and then helped us purchase a home in Black Mountain. I highly recommend giving her a call for any of your real estate needs in the Asheville area. We have worked with her several times going back to 2016, and every real estate transaction was wonderful.

Luke Paulson

Laurie understands the local WNC real estate market as well as anyone in the area. She provided me with a great balance of professionalism and sincerity that was much appreciated, especially being that I was a first-time home-buyer. She is also very even-keeled throughout the entire home-buying process, with I was especially appreciative of.

Matthew Jarvis

Laurie is a professional you can trust who also makes it fun! We've sold TWO homes through her and bought TWO others over the years because she makes big life moves seem easy. She cares, you can trust her, she is ALWAYS honest. There is no better value than her expertise. She has the pulse of the market and her instincts for pricing and timing are spot on. She’s the diamond in the rough you’ve been hoping for. Trust me… she’ll be on your side. 5 out of 5 stars at least.

Ruth Willard

Laurie was the person I could depend on when I could not be in Asheville with my house purchase. She became my friend, and I trust her completely. Thank You Laurie!

scott reese

Laurie is one of the most incredible professionals I know. Endlessly and tirelessly working to find me a home these last few months, she was diligent with my needs and preferences and was detail oriented like no others. She’s kind and friendly and smart and has an inane knack at matching a buyer with a home. The inspectors and contractors that she put me in touch with (or usually set up herself) couldn’t say enough about what a pleasure she is to work with. She had so much knowledge of the area and the faces and people that make the market work. She has everything at her fingertips and balances so many things at once it’s hard to imagine a better person for ANY job. Seldom do you find a professional so good with people and so thorough. We could all learn from her hard work and diligence. If you need someone attentive, sweet, kind and completely professional, look no further.

Matt Struven

Laurie represented me during the purchase of my first home! She is friendly and was very communicative throughout the entire process, and went above-and-beyond my expectations.

Staci Shepard

Laurie was amazing to work with and went above and beyond in every way. She thought of everything and made very good suggestions about inspection follow up ect. I have now used her twice and will continue to refer friends and family

Christine Martens

Laurie is very helpful and especially highly responsive - always on top of scheduling, being in contact on a regular basis. She's also just a very nice person to work with!

Thomas Smith

Quality, professionalism and responsiveness is what Laurie is all about! So glad we found her to handle our property in Asheville. Thank you, Laurie Reese!

Donna Vazquez

Amazing! Laurie went above and beyond to find us our forever home. Ended up traveling way out of her territory but she was with us all the way!

Katarina Wittekind

Such a lovely person! Great with communication, flexible, knowledgeable, honest, kind and willing to put in the work for you. Highly recommend her.
