As a first time home buyer I couldn't have been more satisfied with the services provided by Shelle. She guided me through the process with every detail covered.

Shelle Ball is among Beverly Hanks' most outstanding representatives. Having dealt with many agents over my 70 years, she is the very best. Because we are retiring to our "dream home" this house search was different from the days when we were moving for a job and would accept the best house available at the time. We spent 3 years searching for the right place and had never lived in WNC previously. Shelle helped us get oriented, showed us geographic choices to make, and taught us a great deal about the region. She was patient in explaining all the choices available so we might select among them. Because Beverly Hanks is the largest real estate business in WNC, in the rare instance Shelle didn't know the answer to something, she had a network of colleagues who could help her find the answer. Shelle was focused on solving problems. We could not have asked for better assistance.

Without question, it had to be a challenge for Shelle to represent both seller & buyer. Shelle was professional throughout and was deliberate in her conveying only facts. She more than earned whatever commission she received. We have already recommended her to a friend that is also moving to this area and I rarely do that.

Shelle Ball is amazing - a solid TEN! When we met I asked many questions and found that she had the skill, the knowledge and communication to help me find and obtain what I was looking for. I was coming from California and was completely unfamiliar with the area. Shelle gave me excellent guidance and helpful suggestions to aid in my search. She was always there to offer suggestions and has an excellent eye for construction. She was always looking out for me making sure that I knew all the facts and potential pit-falls before making any commitments. I felt well taken care of and confident that Shelle had my best interest at heart. Shelle quickly saw what was important to me and kept that at the forefront of her mind ........was there enough storage space? Was it well laid out for my animals? Could I navigate the steep driveway in the winter with my California car? She was extremely professional and patient as she guided me through the entire process including dealing with mortgage broker, insurance requirements, taxes and the attorney. I truly can not recommend anyone more highly than I do Shelle! A solid TEN!

Shelle Ball is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the home buying process. She tackled scheduling inspections for us with local professionals that she trusts which made our lives significantly easier, because we are new to the area and because of our busy work schedules. She was very easy to reach whenever we needed to speak with her, patient, good humored, and overall, a real delight to work with. Because of Shelle and her suggestion to write a letter, we were able to win the bid on the first house we made an offer on which (went had gone into multiple bid within 12 hours of going on the market) - unheard of in this area and market! The icing on the cake was her donation to Asheville Humane Society in our names - an organization that both Shelle and our family support - to celebrate our home purchase. I can't say enough good things about Shelle!

Shelle Ball is definitely an asset to Beverly-Hanks. She has helped my husband and I with several transactions, and they have been exceptional. Shelle pays attention to detail regarding the home to ensure we have all facts to make a successful purchase. Courteous, tactful and knowledgeable. Would most certainly recommend her to any potential clients.

Shelle was recommended to us by a friend a while back when we were moving from New Orleans to the Asheville area. We met her and liked her right away. Ultimately, our home buying was pushed back by a year and we rented for a while first, but when we were ready to begin the purchase process again, we knew immediately that we would work with Shelle. She handled every aspect of our home buying experience and guided us through a process that, while we'd both been through it before, was basically all new to us because it had been so long since either of us purchased our previous homes. She helped us understand the process, and personally handled many details that we didn't have time to deal with because of our work and travel schedules, and the fact that during all of it we welcomed triplets into our family. We hope to be in our new home for years to come, but if we were ever to move again, we'd definitely call on Shelle!

Shelle Ball took the time to truly understand what we were looking for in the Asheville area.

As a buyer new to the Asheville area we were very happy with Shelle's knowledge of all of Asheville's neighborhoods and her patience with us as we looked at many houses all over Asheville. We never felt rushed to make a decision when we were with her. We went under contract on one house and after due diligence we decided against that house Shelle quickly ended that contact and gladly worked with us until we found the house we have now. Her knowledge of inspectors and contractors was also helpful. We would highly recommend Shelle to anyone!

Shelle Ball truly goes the extra mile for her clients. She is exceptionally understanding and patient and her work ethic would put most of us to shame. The most important thing in any relationship is trust. I never had a moment's doubt that Shelle had my best interests at heart and that I could trust her completely to act on my behalf. Beyond being a great agent, Shelle is simply a great human being. I feel fortunate to have gotten to know her.

I have had 3 transactions with Shelle Ball and would not hesitate to do another with her. Shelle has made each transaction a smooth and pleasant experience. Shelle Ball has extensive real estate knowledge and negotiating skills that are both keen and tactful. Shelle is an excellent communicator always keeping you informed of all things pertinent and is professionally forth coming with timely advice. Shelle's contacts for the various inspections were all knowledgeable professionals who were all forthcoming with valuable information regarding the property. Shelle Ball is honest, trustworthy, resourceful, and committed. Shelle is always looking out for your best interest. Shelle Ball goes the extra mile.

The broker I chose needed a background in energy conservancy & knowledge of "green" building materials & practices. Shelle Ball's ECO, "green" certification was crucial. Shelle Ball is very clear on her ethical & professional boundaries which are a requirement for anyone I do business with. Shelle Ball was wonderful to work with. She was on point @ every turn of the property negotiation & inspection of the home. She has excellent community connections with the service providers that I needed, quickly. If ever I need a broker, I will contact Shelle Ball. I will always recommend her services whenever I have a chance.

I moved from out of state, and also moved my 85 year old mom with me. We had a pretty specific 'must have' checklist, and Shelle did an amazing job helping us find the right house.

Thanks to Shelle, we found the perfect home and neighborhood, and are incredibly happy living here!

Shelle is a gem, so we will stick with her as long as she is available. We originally chose her before we bought the property in question because she is an eco-realtor. She started as our realtor and became a dear friend.

We could not have survived the entire process of purchasing a home in our price range in Asheville without Shelle! She made the whole house hunting, contract, purchase, and move-in process completely manageable for our busy family. Even after the closing she has been willing to offer help whenever it is needed. I have purchased homes before but with Shelle's help, I now know that it doesn't have to be a painful process!

Since we were new to the area and were not available to be in town for most of the process, Shelle identified and coordinated all of the resources we needed and kept the process moving for us.

Shelle Ball is a personal friend of mine and I had hoped to be able to use her services for the sale of my property. It was a unique property that I had emotional attachment to and it was difficult but necessary for me to let go of it. I knew that Shelle would be a good support through that process. But it was also very important for me to have a professional who would do the best possible job of selling my property. My concern was that our friendship might get in the way of her being able to be objective. I also wanted to make sure that I hired the best possible person for the job, not just a friend. My husband was very impressed by her professionalism early on. Shelle went above and beyond the call of duty and exceeded my expectations as a realtor. She was an excellent support and ally, but she was also objective and professional. Our friendship did not suffer in the slightest. If anything it strengthened it. I am forever grateful to her for gracefully walking me through what could have been a difficult process, and for the successful sale of my home! I would highly recommend Shelle Ball to anyone looking for a realtor in the future.

Jennifer Young & Ron Judkins - Wilsall, MT

Shelle is very diligent and works hard for her clients. Some agents just list properties and then have no follow-up. That is not the case with Shelle. She has excellent follow-up and I felt very taken care of.

You can tell Shelle Ball loves what she does. When my wife and I were looking at houses, Shelle was excited when we were excited, and straight-forward with us when it seemed like we were less than enthusiastic about a property, even if we had nice things to say about it. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Shelle's instinctual "bad ju-ju" meter, or frank opinion when asked for. A defining Shelle moment: while my wife and I were driving around we unexpectedly found an amazing house according to our needs and wants and called Shelle after office hours, intending to leave a message asking for a showing as soon as possible, within the next couple of days or so; she got us through the door in 30 minutes. This was the house we ended up buying, and she lived and died with us over the next month after that night until we signed on the dotted line. The challenges we faced to get the house were her challenges, and sometimes she was more frustrated that we were (in a good way) with anyone giving us less than their best in helping us move toward buying our home. Shelle was invaluable to us as first-time real estate buyers learning to navigate the systems involved. She was patient and eager to explain each step, and encouraged our learning and keeping track of everything along the way. When occasionally blind-sided by an unexpectedly difficult part of the process, within a short time Shelle came back with a clarification or more often with a creative solution to what was happening, even if we hadn't expected any easy solution was possible. Understanding would be one of the key words to describe Shelle. My wife and I are rather different people, reacting differently to the various difficulties of house-buying; Shelle understood those differences and responded according to what was most helpful to each of us individually and as a couple. That understanding helped develop sense of trust in Shelle that, while not blind, was strong enough to safely say that we relied on her counsel without worry or trepidation. Ultimately, Shelle made house buying enjoyable in large part because she's an enjoyable person to be around. She was highly recommended to us by friends, and we gladly echo and amplify that recommendation. Shelle Ball = Amazing Agent. Period.

David & Jessica Mayeux, Asheville

We had our home previously listed for several years, with many contracts, with very few showings, and Shelle was able to sell the house the first year and in the first contract. It has been a wonderful experience.

Shelle Ball helped us purchase a house in North Carolina several years ago --we chose her because she was listed as an environmentally-concerned realtor with green building knowledge on the Beverly-Hanks website. She always goes above and beyond her duties as a realtor in helping either a prospective buyer or seller (we referred her to our friends who were trying to sell their property near ours in North Carolina, for over a year and sure enough, Shelle got it sold)! So when purchasing our second North Carolina property, there wasn't any hesitation in picking up the phone and calling Shelle Ball too help us. She will help you with anything, answer any questions a buyer or seller may have and is there when you need her. We wouldn't use anyone else in North Carolina.

Shelle and I have a mutual friend who recommend her to me as industrious and thoroughly knowledgeable. This was critical to me as a first time home buyer. Shelle prove invaluable in my search and acquisition process. I literally feel that I could not have done it without her. I will also unreservedly recommend her whenever the opportunity presents. As a first time buyer, I approached the buying of a house with some trepidation. Shelle, through exhibiting all the traits on this page in an excellent manner empowered & enabled confidence in me. She was there when needed and still let me know when it was my call. Shelle is excellent, totally competent, caring person, which translates into a thoroughly professional performance in her chosen field of endeavor. I simply can not rate her high enough! I'd like to add that closing was a bit of an intimidating idea before it actually occurred. But Shelle was there, and just that enabled me to relax and concentrate as best I could. All the agents and front office staff made me fell very comfortable when ever I had cause to visit your office.
