Kelly and Troy were fantastic partners in our Asheville home search. Being from the Milwaukee area, we found them online and were immediately drawn to the types of homes they highlight in their website (contemporary, MCM, modern). After an introductory video call, it became clear we'd found our realtors. They were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Even during the COVID pandemic, they did a great job learning what we wanted and setting up safe tours of homes and lots for our 4-day visit to Asheville. Though we we were originally looking for an existing home, they helped us find the perfect lot that we just closed on, where we'll build our mountain modern dream home. Kelly and Troy not only made the process smooth and easy, but they also provided invaluable insight into many aspects of Asheville that only a local would know. They connected us with builders and architects and have already given us a head start on the building process with great connections. With Kelly and Troy, we not only got great service leading to a great purchase, but we made friends we hope to keep for years to come. Highly recommended!
Troy and Kelly are an impressive team. They each bring strengths to the table and they bring them to the process. Their hands on approach and professionalism are amazing. I recommend them highly. They just sold my house in Asheville in the middle of a pandemic, it was quite the ride, but they got the job done !
When we contacted Kelly and Troy of Modern Asheville to help us conduct a long-distance home search, they took on the challenge with enthusiasm! We met with Kelly, who asked the right questions, listened to our wishes and concerns, and quickly zeroed in on the type of home and neighborhood we wanted. Kelly and Troy stayed on top of the listings, previewed homes on our behalf, and kept in constant communication so that we would be ready to jump when the right house appeared. Thanks to their exhaustive knowledge of the Asheville market and their uncanny ability to get inside our heads, Kelly and Troy found our dream home quickly, and helped us create a winning offer in a tough sellers’ market. When a difficult issue arose during our home inspection, Kelly and Troy kicked into gear -- finding the right experts to help us, attending all inspections, counseling us, and going to the mat during a complicated negotiation process. They truly went above and beyond and remained patient, helpful, and communicative throughout. We will be forever grateful to our new friends at Modern Asheville for securing our dream home for us. We cannot recommend Kelly and Troy highly enough!
When we were ready to retire, we knew we wanted to relocate from Washington, DC to Asheville, NC, and once we started seriously researching the area, were delighted to find that Kelly and Troy specialized and were well connected in the modern and mid-century modern home market there. While we were still deciding whether to build new or buy existing, they shared their knowledge of the various Asheville neighborhoods, as well as a great list of local resources, including architects, builders, interior designers, etc. The first time we met with them in person, they already had a really cool updated mid-century modern house lined up for us to see, and this turned out to be the house we purchased! The entire process of buying the home was very smooth, efficient, and low-pressure. And working with Kelly and Troy was easy and fun! Furthermore, we know we can rely on them for honest and expert advice regarding future renovations. If you are looking to buy or sell a modern or mid-century modern home in this area, we highly recommend Kelly and Troy!
We were referred to Kelly and Troy by a prior client of theirs in May 2021. We have lived in Naples since 2014 and split our time between there and New York since retiring in 2013. We had visited Asheville last year and rented a house from April- November this year. We initially weren’t sure whether we would buy or continue to rent. Kelly and Troy were terrific in helping us look at different areas and we quickly decided if we found the right house in North Asheville we would likely buy. After making offers on 3 houses we were finally successful. Kelly and Troy were awesome in virtually every way. They were very knowledgeable about the market and community and made us feel very comfortable. They were not high pressure and are very client focused. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kelly and Troy
We presented Kelly and Troy with a challenging property. Great location but long neglected, in need of significant investment, and requiring a buyer with both the vision to see what it could become and the determination to take on a project. They quickly understood the assignment and found an interested buyer. Nevertheless, it took a lot of work and support to get the buyer comfortable and ready to move forward. They supported and guided us through some ups and downs in getting the contract done as well as the closing process. Very professional in all respects and a great resource for real estate purchases and sales in Asheville.
Kelly and Troy spent 3+ years helping us find our dream home in Asheville for our next life step…retirement! We live out of town so we relied heavily on their screening properties for us. I can’t count how many houses we saw and they visited MANY more for us! The market changed immensely while we were looking given the pandemic. Homes became very difficult to find and the prices were skyrocketing so we did have to make some adjustments in our expectations. Kelly helped us navigate this purchase through some crazy times. We were very particular in our expectations and we ended up finding our dream home in the exact neighborhood we desired and with AMAZING long range views just 1.5 miles from the heart of Asheville. We are grateful for their patience, knowledge, and resources including builders, architects, inspectors and more. Our new house will require significant renovations and we are excited to put our stamp on it. Kelly and Troy arranged this private sale between us and sellers exclusively and extremely professionally and opened doors I’m not sure many agents have the kind of seller contacts necessary to accomplish this type of transaction. This home is an architectural beauty with great bones, it just needs some loving! Thank you Modern Asheville!
I was in the difficult position of living out of town but needing to sell my parent's house in Asheville. Kelly and Troy of Modern Asheville made this experience smooth from start to finish. They were responsive, knowledgable and professional. I highly recommend them to anyone wishing to buy or sell a house in Asheville.
SELLER | My experience with Modern Asheville was nothing short of perfect. Kelly and Troy were easy to work with, knowledgeable and professional yet friendly. They guided me through the entire processes of selling my home, soup to nuts, helping me see options in such a way that I felt in complete control of everything. The whole process felt like a breeze. I highly recommend this duo to any seller.
We could not have had a better home purchase experience than that we had with Troy and Kelly of Modern Asheville Real Estate. They guided us through every step, and in the process helped us to understand the local market and various home inventory options. They truly placed our interest first and made the transaction from out of state easy and free of stress. Modern Asheville is the best! We are thrilled to recommend them!
“Kelly and Troy have sold one house and two condos for me. They also found me a condo and my latest home. There's a reason that I keep coming back to them: they know the market well and each one compliments the other's professional skills and expertise.”
“Working with Modern Asheville was one of the best realtor experiences I have ever had. Troy and Kelly were smart and strategic, thoughtful, and offered us suggestions and support at every turn. I really felt like they had our best interests at heart. They know this market inside and out. Their passion and tireless commitment made the whole listing process a seamless, positive experience.”
“This is a great team and exactly the kind of attention to detail and extra mile service that I was hoping to find with so many choices out there. Troy and Kelly are right on time with all communications, keep you in the loop 24/7. Fun, kind and efficient attitude and ethics throughout the process. House was under contract in just weeks. I would use them again!”
“We really appreciated the sound advice and great attention to detail concerning all phases of the advertising, pricing and marketing of our property in Asheville. And it was that same combination of advice and attention to detail that was so helpful during the subsequent negotiation period.”
“Forget recommendations…I’m offering a commendation for the Kelly/Troy team. My husband and I had been searching for our dream escape from Houston’s summer sizzle for two years. Within three months of signing on with this Daring Duo, we found an awesome property. Both Kelly and Troy worked diligently to make the deal happen. They went the extra mile that is often needed when clients live very far away. I wouldn’t work with any other agents.”
“Because they were professional in all aspects. And they were sharp, they listened, knew Asheville and helped us find the perfect place at a great price when not much was in inventory. We had used 2 other agents from another realty agency for 18 months prior. Kelly and Troy took care of us in about 4 weeks. Recommended without hesitancy.”
“We were looking to buy a house in Asheville for our retirement. Some of our family lives near and we had graduated from NC State so it was good to think about moving back to N.C.
I first noticed Kelly and Troy when I stumbled upon the Modern Asheville blog. I can only imagine that working with an out-of-state client may have been more difficult for them but I never saw it. They were exceptional in the service they provided and it was a mere two months before we had a beautiful single level ranch under contract. I can’t say anything more than everything went perfectly.”
“Troy and Kelly were great realtors to work with. They anticipated my question and concerns and were very thorough in our initial discussions of the sale of my home. They were also very responsive when I contact them and they got back to me quickly each time. They did very thorough market research and set the price at an amount where it sold quickly and I made good profit. Kelly and Troy had strong leads that resulted in the house selling before it was officially listed — they also publicized my estate sale on Modern Asheville. Both were very nice to work with.
Troy met me to the closing when I signed all the papers, personally gave me my check and gave me a very thoughtful and generous closing gift. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother and less painful home sale.”
“After consulting with Kelly and Troy, I realized that it was a seller’s market for downtown Asheville condos. Due to the uniqueness of my condo, I knew that targeting the right potential buyers was the key. Once again I reached out to Kelly and Troy to market the unit. They found an investor who was eager to buy and I was under contract before I ever expected. They know the market and work their butts off. I highly recommend their services.”
BUYER | After living in Massachusetts over 35 years, the thought of possibly moving to another state was a big step. Asheville was on our radar as a retirement possibility. We followed the Modern Asheville blog and decided to reach out to Troy and Kelly to help find the right “fit” for us. What stood out was their patience. They sent us updates on the market between our visits and stayed in touch while we anticipated our retirement.
When we were finally ready to make the leap, Kelly and Troy knew exactly the style home that would make the move easy, exciting, and fun. Because of their knowledge and connections with the modern movement in Asheville, they found us our mid-century modern house before it hit the MLS. As soon as we walked in we knew we found home. They nailed it!
We highly recommend this team. They know their market, they listen and respond quickly with any concerns or questions. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them in the process.
Kelly and Troy…the best!
