Opal is a reliable, knowledgeable and capable professional. Her ability to deliver at many levels as been remarkable, which is exactly what us out-of-towners required. She is the highest of caliber, and this is why my family has entrusted her with our properties for decades, and will continue to do so.

I've known Opal for 30+ years; for some years we shared office space. (I was not involved in real estate.) I hadn't realized at the time that during all our time together I had unwittingly been sizing her up, looking at how she handled her clients, evaluating what she said with the facts as I understood them to be. I liked the way she handled people. She was straightforward. Experience told me that she was honest. Occasionally, we would talk after she had closed a sale. I thought at the time: when the day comes for my wife and me to sell our house, I hope I can find an Opal Black to lead us through the process, never imagining that she would actually still be in business 40 years later! It was our lucky day when she agreed to work with us. The sale of our house was only part of the story. Opal went beyond what most sellers would probably expect, in that she helped my wife and me to get moved to our new place. (My wife suffered a stroke in the midst of the negotiations, and I was dealing with her and the medical community at the same time. Opal took it all in stride; talked me through the confusing aspects of the sale; and facilitated the move. In hindsight, I can't imagine how the "rest of the story" would have played out had she not been involved.) I met several of the staff; I don't recall names of the ones I did meet. I do know that Opal relies on them to get the job done. The photographer she used worked magic to make a so-so photo shoot come out looking like the Biltmore Estate. I was most impressed with Sonny Iler, a name I do remember! Opal called on Sonny to confirm how we should deal with a difficult buyer. Between the two of them, the strategy they agreed upon was the right one, I knew. I left their office that day knowing my wife and I were in good hands.

We were visiting the souvenir store next door and wandered into Beverly-Hanks Realty and Opal took care of us right away. She understood the type of property we were interested in seeing, she ran off some copies of properties, and drove us around showing us four of them. She also gave us a tour of the area and had a wealth of knowledge. She was wonderful! If we did not walk into the company that day and met Opal we would never have found this property. Opal is simply the best. We would have loved to have her as our realtor in selling our home in Hawaii. Opal always stayed in touch either by email or text or phone. That was very important especially considering this was a long distance sale. If we had questions about anything, Opal was able to answer them all. She was also so helpful in setting up appointments with inspectors and in emailing us all results just as soon as she received them.

Opal handled everything like a pro. This was especially challenging as the seller's agent repeatedly made errors that Opal had to fix. Opal answered all our questions, honestly. We totally trust Opal. Opal's knowledge of the area was impressive and hearing history of the area from someone who lived their whole life here, made the house hunting project enjoyable and less daunting. Opal also had experts available to handle all the questions we had concerning the home's condition.

It is only with your expertise and availability to us that we were able to make such an easy transition to Hendersonville. I hope your "ears are burning" as I still sing your praises to my many new friends in Welcome Wagon and here in Sugar Hollow Farm. ~ Francine & Roger Varady   *(Excerpts).....I will always remember your help and kindness shown to me (and Russ). ~ Jean Terry *(Excerpts).....Thank you so much for the darling potted plant.....The plant looks perfect on the end of our kitchen counter......has "green", remember. We love our home and are feeling very welcome. Thanks again for being such a good friend. ~ Michael & Doreen McCall *(Excerpts)....Again, we want to thank you for all you did in selling 6 One Penny Drive. We sure appreciate it very much. ~Ed & Nat Chesley *(Excerpts).........So many times I have thought of you and been so grateful that we found you................We have been so happy here and cannot imagine living anywhere else. ~ Jan and Hal Beam *(Excerpts)................We want to thank you so much for helping us............As you could tell it was a tough one for us. ...........You made our transition as easy as possible and we do thank you. ~ Marge and Jim Rafferty *Friends lured us to North Carolina, the birthplace of my paternal grandfather. In 1991, a colleague of my husband, who had recently moved to Hendersonville, invited us to visit. This couple introduced us to Opal Black, an experienced Realtor who had managed property in their absence. We felt comfortable with Opal and arranged to meet with her when we returned to the area in 1996. We remained in intermittent contact with Opal until we asked her to represent us in the sale of our condominium. Although she was an independent agent, we trusted her judgment and her familiarity with the local market. Before we listed the unit in May, 2009, Opal consulted us about the wording of the advertising and accompanying photographs. It was a difficult time to sell but we benefited from Opal’s expertise; our only offer was disappointing but we do not regret accepting it. The handyman recommended by Opal completed repairs required after the property was inspected; his work was acceptable to the inspector and his rates were reasonable. In November, 2009, we moved to Carolina Village. A Saddlebrook neighbor recently inquired about our Realtor; we did not hesitate to provide Opal’s name and number. She is honest, reliable, and hardworking; her roots in this community make her a wonderful source of valuable information. She sold us a well-built home we loved and then assisted us in its sale twelve years later. Opal is friendly, yet professional and business-like. We are fortunate that she represented us in the purchase and sale of our home, transactions with which we were well satisfied. She is efficient and pleasant to deal with, a trusted advisor who has become our friend. ~ Louis & Judith Santiago *My wife and I have had dealings with Mrs. Opal Black for 25 years.  We have found her to be thorough and fair in all her dealings with us, and we feel she has an excellent grasp of the local housing market.  Opal looks after our interests, whether we are buying or selling, and is very attuned to our needs; needs we didn’t always know we had.  Opal does her homework, and we wouldn’t think of having another agent; through it all, she remains our very good friend.  ~ J.R. & B.J.
