John Madden

I am from New York State and I had used my agent Gail Bohlke 2 times in NY. When I told her I was moving to NC she told me she could recommend an agent in NC. She then explained that her agency in NY was affiliated with Beverly-Hanks Realtors here in NC. That was very important to me. She contacted Beverly Hanks and John Maddon reached out to me while I was still living in NY. He called me while my house was still for sale in NY and asked me what I was looking for in NC. He started sending me listings for homes here in NC before I received a contract on my home in NY. As soon as I had a contract on my home in NY, I came to NC to find a home here. We spoke on the phone often enough so he understood what I was looking for before I even came here. John really had to help me a lot with this purchase. Firstly, I was still living in NY and so he had to check up on things to help me. Everything was complicated on my end since the rules in NY are very different from NC and I was not only selling my home but also selling my elderly father's home. My father was moved to a Memory Care Facility in Austin, TX during this process to be closer to my brother, and approximately 2 weeks before my closing, he suddenly passed away, and I needed to delay the closing in NY and NC. John was so helpful and supportive during this process. This turn of events was totally unexpected and John was there to help me and take care of everything in NC, while I was dealing with things in NY. To sum things up, John Maddon was there to help me and support me through this process and that meant a lot to me. He answered my questions and offered suggestions and support when I asked. Even after my closing, he continued to check on me to see if things were moving smoothly and to see if I needed any assistance. He is a Wonderful Agent and I would completely recommend him to anyone I know!!

John was friendly, knowledgeable and accessible throughout our whole search, offer and closing experience. He has been our point person leading up to and through closing, and has continued to coordinate all of the post-closing activities related to the property. John took a lot of the stress out a process that would have otherwise been very stressful.

John is a professional and experienced relocation specialist. He knows the area and was always prepared to assist with our search for a new home in the Asheville area. He remained actively engaged from offer through closing of our new home. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless.

We can't say enough good things about John Madden. He was there when we needed him; had all the information we wanted, but didn't "hover". He has become a good friend as well. John Madden has a great track record with Southside Village; knows the Board and a lot of the residents, which was quite helpful.

We recently purchased a house in Maggie Valley. John Madden had our house hunting and purchase effortless. Prior to working with a John we worked with another realtor for a different company and it was a terrible experience. After searching the internet we read reviews on Beverly-Hanks. Upon calling Beverly-Hanks South Asheville office we reached John Madden. John and I had a brief phone conversation which I shared the area we were interested in, our budget, and our must have. On our first meeting John came prepared with a list of houses to view, comparable for the area, and vacant lots to view. John was proactive and prepared to meet our needs. He helped us secure a real estate attorney and loan agent. John was responsive and professional throughout the entire process. We would definitely recommend John Madden to future buyers and sellers in the Maggie Valley / Asheville area. John did an incredible job and we thank him.

I contacted people who had previously dealt with John in other careers and they all said he was a nice guy and would recommend dealing with him as a realtor. I liked that John would say, I don't know and will check on that. Then he did! I would recommend him to other people.

John Madden has listed, sold, & found properties for me in the last few years. As a past broker, I can say that John is very good at his job and is a pleasant person in a profession that can at times become stressful and tense. John never loses his cool, a very important attribute for the profession.

I appreciated how prepared John was for our initial interaction- he had clearly done his homework. The sensitivity around our relocation made me require special needs and limited what I was able to give on my end. John was great to work with and I was pleased overall with my experience.

We met John a few years ago while he was selling other properties in our village. He impressed us with his knowledge of his craft and the background details of our neighborhood. We knew then that if we were to put our home on the market someday we would highly consider him as our agent. Over the years, other agents were suggested to us as we thought about selling and John's name kept being forefront in our minds. When we contacted John this past spring, he immediately remembered our home as we had invited him in years before. We explained our needs and wants and upon meeting in a few days we could tell he had done his research, making us feel very confident. We were impressed with his diligence, expertise, and understanding of our needs. The presentations of photos, and literature made us believers. Our house sold in less than a week, we were so delighted. John stayed in constant contact with us throughout the process which kept us feeling confident in the process. We have already recommended John Madden to others, one of which has her house listed with him now and have recommended him to many others for the future. The perfect person to sell our home.

We had a great experience with John! He was very prompt to respond to any questions we had, and quick to communicate any important information about our transaction during the process. He had our house under contract the same day we listed it! I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the market to buy or sell property, we will absolutely use him again when the need arises!

John was upfront and very knowledgeable regarding neighborhood and what our house could sell for. Eight people viewed our house and we had three offers the first weekend. I never expected that response and was delighted with the way John handled this transaction from the start to the closing. I would recommend John to all. He was a tremendous asset to my wife and I and a great representative to Beverly Hanks. I was more than happy with the price I received for our house and the smooth transition from contract signing to closing. Thank You John Madden and Beverly Hanks

John provided excellent professional service and friendly help and guidance as we moved into the area and purchased the home. He readily gave his time early in the exploration phase of the process to introduce us to Asheville, shared knowledge of the area, and listened to our questions and priorities, always providing timely and helpful responses.

We had a very tough time the night before closing. We were getting cold feet, wondering if we were doing the right thing. We started calling John at 7 am, thinking we might be backing out. Throughout the whole ordeal John was such a calming factor. He delayed the closing for a little while, while we pulled ourselves together. Everything went well, we bought the house and are happy. Life is good!

Our broker, John Madden, was extremely helpful when we walked into his office with no prior communication and made it clear we were not in the market then but may be in the future. That attitude was the deciding factor. We never felt pressured to make a decision. We liked that about John.

John Madden was with us start to finish. This process started over 6 months ago and John was always willing to tour homes whenever we were in the area. He went above and beyond allowing several other family members to visit our final choice even though we weren't with them. When I had a hiccup with the closing of my previous home, all it took was one quick call to John to make all the necessary adjustments in NC. That was a huge relief as I was trying to load a moving truck within a limited time window. John Madden was top notch from day 1. I give John my highest recommendation.

John likes to help make dreams come true. He made sure he was easy to reach - including nights, weekends, and when he was on vacation, out of town! He attends to the details and fully explains what is being done, and what needs to be done. He is calm, encouraging, and adept at overcoming obstacles. If you want someone who cares about you and your needs, someone who is accessible, reliable, skillful, and a great communicator then John Madden is your man. Note: John worked with me long distance on two offers and one successful home purchase. I live in Charlotte.

I submitted a request to be contacted by Beverly-Hanks for a property I was interested in and John Madden responded. He has been a top-notch agent, showing me a variety of properties within my provided specifications. Once an offer was made, he facilitated the process and was very patient through the various twists and turns that arose.

John Madden didn't just try to get me into any house. John listened to what I needed in terms of size, yard, and features, and he provided options that fit those needs in my price range. Once I had decided on the house that I wanted, John went out of his way to help me get the best price that I could, get necessary repairs completed, and close quickly. I'd recommend John Madden to anyone looking to purchase because he was easy to work with, responded almost immediately to questions or concerns, and went out of his way to make sure that I understood the process of buying a home.

John Madden was caring, honest and always available to us. The market is still poor and we did lose money in the sell but we stood a large chance that our house would not sell at all. John "got er done""! By doing that he opened the door to our new adventure in life.

John Madden was amazing! He took a property that had not moved in over a year due to a combination of a difficult neighbor and not-up-to-par real estate agent and turned it over in less than 3 months. He tactfully dealt with both the neighbor and the scorned realtor with grace and a professionalism that is to be commended. I would highly recommend John to anyone who wants a realtor who cares about his client and will go the extra mile to make sure the job is done.

I was fortunate in the luck of the draw. I knew no one in North Carolina. From day one he was helpful, pleasant, and immediately responded to my inquiries. In all areas of the transactions John was prompt on handling the multitude of duties to make this an effortless purchase for me. Buying a house can be stressfull but with John's sense of humor, his patiences and helpfulness it was actually fun! I was purchasing a low end price range home and was originally wondering what kind of service I would receive. John treated me as if I were looking at million dollar homes. I was never rushes, phone calls were returned promptly, we took side trips to see where stores were, etc.
