The buyers mortgage company had a delay in processing the loan. The buyers agent was not helpful in finding out or passing updates to us as we were scheduling a home purchase and moving logistics. Richard went above and beyond to even work with the loan office to help move the process along and keep us updated as much as he could. Richard was both professional and helpful each step along this fiasco with the buyers loan process. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an agent in the Asheville area. Richard is professional every step in the process We talked to two of your agents We chose Richard because he talked to us as opposed to just repeating generalities and catch phrases He answered our many questions directly

My initial contact with Richard Smith was on line and from out of state. He responded immediately with valuable information and made the purchase of our home from a different state so much easier than I expected it to be. Richard did the research finding information I didn't have access to, saving me from wasting time and costing money. Because of that experience, I contacted Richard again for another purchase. Richard is honest, reliable and dedicated to providing excellent customer service. He's already been referred to a family member for their purchase.

I searched for realtors in Hendersonville and Richard Smith was the second person I contacted. Customer service and local real estate knowledge was the most important factor to me in choosing a realtor. Richard called me immediately and it was clear from our conversation that I needed to look no further. Our first meeting was a thorough conversation about the market in the area and the services I could expect from him. He showed me eight houses and didn't sugar coat any undesirable houses or attributes in an effort to sell me. Richard was extremely friendly, honest and professional and I will absolutely recommend him to others.

Richard was fantastic to work with. His professionalism is top notch especially given our families situation. We were selling our uncles home that was in an estate and there were many more cooks in the kitchen than needed to be. I am an agent in Richmond VA and I am very impressed with how Richard "handled" my family. If I had to do it all over again, I would call him and ask for his assistance. Super communication, which is key in scenarios like this, especially since all of the heirs were out of town. Thank you Richard!

Richard Smith came highly recommended by my suburban Philadelphia friend and professional associate who had worked with Richard eight years ago and was totally impressed with him as an agent. From our first encounter with Richard Smith, we were equally impressed with his hospitable manner, his immediate grasp of and responsiveness to the dynamics of our needs, his professional attention to detail, his unfailing integrity and honesty about both the positives, and negatives, of each property, his untiring patience and diligent pursuit of finding us our "exact-right" home, as well as, his warm personableness and gentle charm. In the two separate weeks we traveled to Asheville to see properties, Richard truly provided us unrestricted access to him. Upon recognizing that we could only devote a finite numbers of days each time we had traveled here, Richard indulged us with an exhausting pursuit of property showings which involved inordinately long days for him. In addition to all the above attributes we experienced with Richard, we found Richard to be a keen financial agent, as well, helpfully advising us on maximizing our offer on our final property choice so that it would be the most acceptable offer to the Sellers, while keeping our monetary offer to a realistic figure for our finances. We unconditionally recommend Richard Smith as a stellar agent and as a gentleman-professional.

Richard Smith of the Beverly-Hank Downtown Office was very accessible to answer our questions, address concerns, and prompt with all contract documents. He was consistent in reminding us of our next steps, contractual obligations/deadlines, and making sure the property was available for inspections as needed.

This has truly been a great experience buying my first home. Richard Smith was meticulous and patient every step of the way. From answering my questions, to guidance, I found his knowledge invaluable. He really got to know me and got a sense of what I was looking for in a new home. I truly appreciate that he made me feel like a priority. Always quick to respond to emails and always a phone call away, Richard was there to help clarify every aspect of the buying process. He helped to educate me and make me feel comfortable with this new purchase and he brought a wealth of knowledge to the table. He is client focused and always had my best interest at heart. Richard left a very positive impression on me. I would recommend Richard to everyone looking to buy/sell a home in the Asheville area.

Richard Smith provided us with exceptional service in the sale of our home.

Richard Smith went above and beyond what we have experienced in the past from other real estate agents/brokers. He was there every step of the way from finding the house to the closing.

We didn't exactly "choose" Richard as our broker when we initially began looking to buy a home. I called the office initially about mortgage assistance. I was asked if I had a real estate agent, and when I advised them that I did not, our case was given to Richard. I guess it was just sort of "how it went" as far as us actually working with Richard. I, for one, am glad that things worked out as they did. Richard was exceptional with communications, always took time to answer questions, and genuinely cared about our interests during the entire process. He had extensive knowledge of the entire process and was also a great guy to work with on both the personal and professional level. I think sometimes things happen for a reason - and in this case, I think it was time for us to buy our first home. Richard was a God-send and really helped make the whole thing happen. It was fantastic working with Mr. Smith and I'll definitely be recommending him to anyone I know that needs a real-estate agent in the future.

Richard was a complete professional from the moment the process started. He gave us valuable advice on the listing price, how to prepare the house for successful showings, and how to negotiate the offers we received. His attention to detail is second to none. The end result was a stress free process that concluded with our house selling above our target goal. We couldn't be more pleased.

Our home hunting experience was quick and easy due in part to the dedication shown by RIchard Smith. His knowledge and willingness to be available made the process relatively simple and event free. We had very limited time to visit and identify a property of interest. Richard planned our visit and showed us an array of properties that reflected our interests.... and in just a few days we were under contract! We have purchased and sold several properties but we have never had the pleasure of working with someone as professional and helpful as Richard Smith. Thank you for your dedication and professionalism!

Our agent, Richard Smith, went beyond "the call of duty" in every way possible. He anticipated our needs and providing guidance which was extremely helpful given we live out of town. Richard is one of the nicest agents we have ever met and apparently one of the best in that he had our house "under contract" in less than a week. That was amazing given it was Christmas time! If you want a kind professional who is results oriented, Richard Smith will not disappoint!

We were very satisfied with our real estate transaction as Richard did an excellent job, going above and beyond in assisting us.  We found him to be top notch, very professional, friendly, and informative.   This is our second transaction with Richard, as he assisted us with the purchase of our home initially.  We wouldn't think of using any other agent when we decided to sell and relocate recently.  The result was amazing;  we had an acceptable offer in the first 24 hours, and closed in just 30 days after listing it.

Richard did an excellent job and was very professional in helping us get the most for our home.  He performed a Current Market Analysis upfront, which we used as our guideline in determining a realistic list price for our home.  As a result, we attracted multiple showings and an acceptable offer, all within just 5 weeks.  This allowed us to prepare well ahead of time for moving out of state.   Richard was also instrumental in us using Beverly-Hanks Relocation Services, who connected us with a local realtor to assist with the purchase of our new home in Arizona.

We also experienced the same excellence and professionalism throughout Beverly-Hanks. We highly recommend Richard and firm to anyone seeking real estate services in the Asheville area.
