Karen Black is an excellent real estate agent and we would highly recommend her in the future to anyone purchasing or selling a home in the Asheville area. Her attention to detail, her knowledge of homes and of the local market, her support during negotiations, and her follow-through were all exemplary. She is also fun to work with and has a great sense of humor. Five Stars!

Karen Black went well beyond what I expect from a realtor. She is very knowledgeable and professional and took care of every detail in a timely way. She helped us price the house perfectly and we had it under contract in two days. This was the easiest, best real estate experience I’ve ever had.

Karen Black came highly recommended by another agent who didn’t know rural land well, and I felt very grateful for Karen’s help. Very willing to help me see land, to gauge value by my standards and to listen to what mattered to me. She seemed to negotiate competently and help me get info I wanted quickly. She was very diligent after going under contract, even helping after closing when sellers violated the contract. Also she’s just fun to be around. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.

My wife and I both agree that we have never had a better experience with a realtor. We called Karen Black because we wanted to know what our home was worth. What we received was a ton of useful research, great ideas for marketing the property and much more. We decided within ten minutes that it was time to sell the house and that Karen was the right person to do it. We haven't regretted our decision for a single second. We have worked with a few local realtors in the past but we've never worked with one as capable, knowledgeable and downright clever as Karen. If we decide to buy another home in the area, hers will be the first number we call.

We have used Karen in the past and was very happy with her professionalism, knowledge and her kind spirit. She again was brilliant at selling our home.

This transaction was not going to be easy for me, as I was selling my mother's house due to her passing away several months prior. Karen was in my corner the entire time, completely supportive and understanding. Karen made the process easy and as pain free as possible. We achieved our end result and I can move forward. I'm very grateful to Karen for her services and friendship.

Karen could not have been a better service provider...she was attentive to our needs, proactive in the provision of information, and extremely easy to work with. She put us at ease very quickly and made us feel confident that what she was saying and doing was exactly what needed to be said and done. Karen went to work quickly, identified potential interested parties quickly, and brought in two very quick offers. The value for money result above is less a reflection of Karen and more a reflection of the 6% commission rate of Beverley Hanks!! Karen was top-notch.....she made us feel like we had known her for years and she demonstrated that she knew her profession well and knew where the Asheville market was in respect of condominium properties. I am being a bit repetitive, nevertheless, I cannot speak highly enough of Karen Black in her capacity as sales agent and her ability to provide a top notch service in a friendly, yet professional, manner. Ten out of ten!!

Karen Black was super, answered all questions in a timely manner. If she did not have knowledge of an issue, she researched and returned with an answer quickly and succinctly.

Having a personal reference was important to me. Otherwise it's just a shot in the dark. I trusted that Karen would do a great job because my associate knows her and thinks highly of her. I felt really good about every step of the process. Karen was efficient, timely, communicative and knowledgeable. I felt confident that I was in good hands. Matt Gaglione was patient and careful to explain every aspect of the loan process to me. I never felt hesitant to ask questions, and he was always quick to respond. I couldn't be happier with my experience. I got the perfect house sooner than I expected. Karen did a fantastic job.

Actually, I called randomly when I saw A Beverly Hanks sign in the window of a townhome I was interested in buying and she was on floor duty that day. But I must tell you, without knowing her beforehand, I could not have handpicked a better agent to work with me on the purchase of my new townhome. I got really lucky w Karen Black because she was more than competent and extremely amazing to work with. And let me just add, she has a great personality and is a lot of fun... which I really appreciated. Thank you Karen, and I feel like I not only gained the perfect townhome, but I also gained a good friend as well.

Karen is a trusted friend and I knew that she would be the best person to help me sell my dad's place. I cannot give her enough praise. She was very professional , knowledgable, and open to any and all questions I had. She also went above and beyond in helping me get my dad's place ready to sell. She is also a very warm person with a wonderful sense of humor which went a long way whenever we had any set backs. Always a very positive attitude. She was also very prompt in preparing materials for me to sign and explained everything clearly. I will recommend her to anyone who is looking for an outstanding realtor. She was just the best!

Karen was extremely knowledgeable about the kind of sale we were facing: an inherited property with multiple owners, none of whom lived in town. She also knew the immediate area well and had a good idea of comparable properties. She is very communicative: prompt in returning texts, phone calls, etc. She is also patient and thorough, making sure each owner was comfortable with the process. Because of Karen's expert communication, each of the multiple owners was kept updated and fully informed. This was a complex situation but she led us on the smoothest possible path to a quick and satisfying sale. We would rate her as excellent in all aspects and even higher than excellent--maybe exemplary!--in so many aspects of her work, notably: patient, understanding, accessible, professional. Karen led us through a terribly complicated process with aplomb. Before hiring her, we were overwhelmed with the logistics of getting the house onto the market and sold. Once we hired her, we felt confident that we could succeed in selling this house, and we did!

Karen black was the perfect broker for us. She led us through the entire process making sure we had the clarity we need at each step. She knows the area well, appreciated the beauty of our property in a way that we knew would come through in her representation, and she was 100% accessible to us throughout. She’s not a broker in heels—she walked our property lines, rolled up her sleeves, and made things happen. We received two offers the first day we listed!

Although Karen is relatively new to the real estate business, knowing her attention to detail, knowledge of the Asheville area and her commitment to us as clients made her the obvious choice as a broker. Karen is a delight. Not only is her professionalism excellent, she also is a joy to work with. Her ability to make us comfortable throughout the entire process of selling our home was noteworthy. Karen put her heart and soul into making sure that we were happy and comfortable with the process. Her advice and direction was spot on. I would highly recommend her.

We had a very positive experience working with Karen. As first time home buyers she took the time to help us understand the home buying process and provided excellent resources. We found her to be very responsive and efficient and the home buying process was much quicker than we expected. Karen is extremely knowledgeable about home repair and systems within the home which is so helpful. Also, Karen is fun to be around.
