Chris Herndon

    • "Chris is a phenomenal realtor to work with. His expertise and knowledge of the market and the area was instrumental in selling my home. He guided me throughout the process of preparing my newly renovated home for showing. He continually went above and beyond the scope of his duties in this area. I highly recommend Chris and will always come back to him for future realtor assistance."

    • "Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make, and having the right real estate agent can make all the difference. For us, that was Chris Herndon.Chris and I actually go all the way back to high school but lost touch. However, I knew he had lived in the Wilmington area so when we were searching for a home on the NC Coast, I reached out and he made sure we were connected with a great local agent. Its funny, I still remember him telling us, "You should really consider Asheville." Little did we know he'd be right.Fast forward to today, it was a given that we needed to reach out to Chris. He had been so insightful before, I just knew he could help us find the perfect place in Asheville to call home.What impressed us most was how well he listened. We came into this search thinking we knew exactly what we wanted... until we didn't. Most agents might have been frustrated by that. Chris was the exact opposite. He embraced every change with enthusiasm.His knowledge of the Asheville area is incredible, not just the neighborhoods, but the geography, history, local government, schools, and the unique character of each community.When it came time to make an offer, Chris's experience and professionalism really shined. He walked us through every step with confidence, offered thoughtful guidance without ever being pushy, and made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable.We're beyond grateful for everything he did for our family. He is an absolute gem of a person, and now the entire family is proud to call him a lifelong friend."

    • "Our home was under contract in less than 24 hours!!!! You made selling our home so easy. Extremely professional and your attention to detail is outstanding. Selling our home was a daunting task, but you made it feel effortless. Your kindness, expertise, and tireless efforts have earned our deepest gratitude. We're honored to have worked with you! Thank You Chris!"

    • "Chris was a pleasure to work with. He is professional, knowledgeable, and always available. Through the entire process he was able to guide us and help us establish relationships with all the parties necessary to the purchase process. Chris successfully negotiated all our seller requests established after the inspection and suggested other items we would have never thought of. He was always willing to drive to our new home (which is at least an hour away from his office) to meet vendors or take measurements for us. We never felt rushed or that we were imposing. He heard our concerns and desires and addressed them as if they were his. After months of searching for a mountain house he was able to help us successfully realize our dream. Because we live on the coast the process had been quite difficult due to the volatility of the market and the distance we had to travel to view homes. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to go under contract we found a home on the internet we thought would be perfect. We contacted Chris and he went the next day to film the house for us as we were unable to drive up so quickly. We trust Chris so much we put an offer in the same day. We are now proud homeowners. I cannot say enough about his service. Chris knows all the right people, has all the right contacts, and knows all the right questions and answers to make this difficult, time sensitive process flow with ease. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who wants to buy a home."

      - Paul and Christine C., Brevard NC
    • "My experience working with Chris Herndon proved to be fantastic! The care and attention he showed throughout the listing and sale of my home and the purchase of my new home was exemplary. In particular, I found Chris knowledge of the current real estate market very reassuring during our business dealings. Through his hard work and professionalism, I was able to sell my home quickly as well as find another home in a beautiful neighborhood that more than meets my family's needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris Herndon to anyone. He works hard to ensure the client is satisfied and works constantly to assure that everything goes as smoothly as possible."

      - Shannon Bourne, Wilmington NC
    • "Chris is phenomenal! He was recommended to us by our Lake Norman Listing Realtor to assist us in buying a home in Asheville. We worked together for five months and found the perfect house for us. BUT the big thing is our success in selling our Condo in Asheville. I was super nervous about the Condo because Condos are much more difficult to sell than single homes. Chris sold our Condo in 24 hours for over asking price!! Not only that, we received a back-up offer for over asking price as well! We would highly recommend him as a realtor, whether buying or selling a place."

      - Juan & Cindy Rafols, Asheville NC
    • "We have worked with Chris on two different real estate sales. His level of experience and knowledge of the local area and market proved very beneficial. We appreciate Chriss responsiveness, prompt communications, negotiation skills and willingness to do whatever is needed to ensure a great experience. We highly recommend Chris!"

      - Calvin & Melinda R., Fairview NC
    • "We have had the absolute pleasure of working with Chris three times over the last 18 years, and he continues to exceed every expectation. Most recently, Chris helped us sell our mountain home and, thanks to his incredible insight and meticulous preparation, it sold in just one day! Chris brings a rare combination of deep market insights, strategic thinking, and masterful negotiating skills to the table. From start to finish, his knowledge and professionalism kept us informed and confident. What we appreciate most, however, is his integrity. He genuinely cares about his clients, which is why every single transaction weve done with him has been smooth, stress-free, and concluded completely without a hitch. Whether you are buying or selling, we highly recommend Chris. Over nearly two decades, he has proven himself time and again to be a highly effective and trusted advisor." Jim and Rita F.
