"Emily Welsh was the listing agent for the sale of our house. She did an excellent job. She helped at every stage of the sale from listing, pricing, preparation advice for the house, excellent photographs, coordinating with the agent who sold the house and assistance in follow up and the finalizing of the sale. She is an excellent agent and we feel no agent could have done better. We recommend her highly." -Ronald L K. -Seller

 “I give Emily Welsh the highest recommendation and endorsement for working with prospective buyers and sellers in the Black Mountain region. I had the great good fortune of meeting Emily and she helped me locate a property after exploring many possibilities that would fit my needs. She then followed up thoroughly and promptly with every aspect of the purchase, from contract through inspection through working with attorneys to close without any hassles. When I then needed to sell that property, again she was meticulous in handling every aspect of listing it and aggressive in locating the right buyer who would be cooperative in getting to closing and excited about owning the property. Emily is a pleasure to work with in every way. She takes time to listen and to talk through any issues that come up. She gets to know buyers and sellers well and guides them to make good decisions. No one who works with her could come away thinking, “oh I wish I had a different agent.” She is the agent you would want in any situation, and I recommend her without reservation."  Thomas F. Buyer/ Seller

"I bought my house through Emily Welsh. It was the first time I bought a home on my own and I was nervous. Emily couldn't have been better about it. She spent time with me to explain the entire process before hand and then patiently guided me through each step. She was professional, thorough, and she never made me feel the least bit pressured, simply explaining the deadlines along the way. Emily was also very knowledgeable and was easily able to answer all of my questions. Very professional, and personable. Thanks to Emily, I found the perfect home for me and I am loving it! The whole experience was great! I cheerfully and enthusiastically recommend Emily Welsh at for your real estate adventure!" Ann G. -Buyer 

“I have worked with about 12 realtors over the years. Emily was the best of those twelve. Emily is very intelligent and knowledgeable. I asked a lot of questions, and she answered them all specifically and accurately, including property values and potential rental value. She didn't hesitate to tell me what she thought of a property, so that I could take her perspective into account. Her feedback was honest and to the point; I trust her. She knows her craft. In addition, she was very helpful. She helped me during the selling process, and she was just as helpful after the sale when I needed help getting services for my home. She always referred me to competent and capable people. I recommend her highly.” Bruce L.S., Ph.D.
