Testimonials
Being new to WNC, Cricket Benfer was an immense help in explaining the various neighborhoods and areas; and she was instrumental in us finding and purchasing the home that is absolutely perfectly suited for our needs. We are very happy with the results Cricket delivered.
Cricket handled everything, from dealing with the builder, the selling agent, setting up the financing, the inspections, through to the closing. She was by our side the whole way.
I've purchased and sold several homes over the past 50 years, and this was the most pleasant real estate transaction experience in all that time. - Arsène Gerber Woodfin, NC

We moved to Asheville from Colorado and Cricket Benfer made the move a lot less stressful. She answered all of our questions leading up to our closing, looked after the house after closing until we arrived in Asheville. My husband is disabled and she really listened and took into consideration what he needed in a house. In addition, she is very knowledgeable of the area and helped us tremendously. - Penny Omara, Asheville

Sally has helped me in buying and selling two different properties. I have recommended two coworkers and they were delighted with Cricket Benfer and would gladly recommend other people looking for a relator. The first time I used Cricket Benfer was very nervous and wasn't sure of the steps that I needed to take. Sally walked me through with patience and outstanding service! Cricket Benfer is the BEST!! - Tammy Smith Black Mountain, NC

This was the fourth real estate transaction with Asheville Luxury Brokers, and the most challenging. This was a challenging sale due to COVID 19, the state of the local and national economy and the stress of showing the home during a pandemic. My broker not only made sure safety protocols were respected, she gave critical advise on the staging and marketing of the property that was key to a timely sale. Her experience with, and knowledge of the local real estate market, I believe were also crucial in the sale of my home.
Cricket is everything you could ask for when selling you home, which is stressful anyway, but selling a home during COVID. Cricket was patient with me and listened to all my woes and worries about selling a home that I loved. The sale was a success in every way. - Sharon Wallace, Asheville NC (Seller)

Ms. Benfer is a delight to work with! She is super knowledgeable about properties and pricing in the area. She responds quickly to requests and questions. She is also even keeled and quick to support you when things aren’t going as planned in the transaction. We were first-time home buyers, and she was always willing to make sure we understood what was going on and what our next steps were. We highly recommend Ms. Benfer and Asheville Luxury Brokers for anyone looking for their perfect homestead in this area! - Laura, Bryan, and Caryn; Candler, NC (Buyer)

We found Cricket very helpful and well informed on the area. She really listened to our needs and was always easy to reach, even at off hours. We asked so many questions, and she took the time to answer them all. In short she found us the perfect home and negotiated a great price. The process was more complicated since we are live in Miami and buying a home in the Asheville area. We are so grateful for her, and hope to see her in the future! - Linda Blair and Pete Fernandez. Miami FL (Buyer)
