“Our team of Lauren and Ashton went above and beyond for us during our home buying process. As first time homebuyers, transparency and honesty were a big priority to us. Ashton and Lauren gave us their honest thoughts and suggestions the entire process. They were always easy to communicate with and made sure that at least one of them could be at everything they needed to be every step of the way. They were extremely helpful with negotiating our offer and getting the best deal on our home. There were a few things that needed work and they were able to help us negotiate credits and get a fair price for the home we were purchasing. During the due diligence process they were always on top of everything, making sure we were on schedule to close and guiding us through each step of the home buying journey. Ashton and Lauren are a dream team and were so great to work with. Always friendly and easy to reach whenever we needed them. I would recommend them 100% to anyone looking to purchase a home in or around Asheville.”

“Ashton has been outstanding to work with! She came recommended by an Asheville local - as out of state buyers looking to move to the area, Ashton's communication and level of detail really made a big difference. We found comfort in the fact that she knows the area well, can easily take calls/video chat, and is able to close a deal on time with great efficiency when needed. There were several homes we passed on - Ashton was always patient with us, but was ready to make moves when the right home came along. She knows all the right people in town - pointed us in the right direction with any questions we had, and put together showings on short notice when we came to town! The process from start to finish went smoothly - we are super happy to have worked with her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking in the area! Thank you Ashton!!”

“Ashton and Lauren took wonderful care of me my husband as we navigated the housing market in Asheville and surrounding areas. The current market is moving so quickly and it can be very overwhelming! Ashton and Lauren truly listened to us and what we were looking for and always provided honest feedback. Most importantly we knew we could trust them and that they had our best interest at heart. They were very organized and helped us to weigh the pros and cons of each listing honestly and thoroughly. We can’t thank them enough for all they did for us and can’t imagine 2 better agents!"

— Megan and Kyle B.

“I worked with Ashton to sell my house and buy a new one! I highly recommend working with her. She is creative, responsive, and truly goes above and beyond for her clients. One of my favorite things about Ashton is her ability to be incredibly professional and sharp, while also knowing how to bring a light-hearted and fun approach to the crazy world of real estate. Choose Ashton to help you buy or sell your home. You will feel as if you won the lottery!"

— Sara S.

“Ashton is so wonderful to work with. This is the second house I bought from her and will continue to work with Ashton on future investments."

— Grant S.

“I couldn't recommend Ashton enough. My partner and I have very specific qualifications for our home due to personal preference and financing reasons, and Ashton has been so dedicated in helping us find a home that is the right fit. In this very competitive market, Ashton has been on the ball with things. We have toured houses the same day they are listed, been given tons of background info on the house within 30 minutes of asking her, etc. Ashton is a dedicated professional who is compassionate, thorough, and driven. Work with Ashton and you won't regret it!”

— Devin R.

“Ashton is absolutely stellar. She was recommended to us by a friend and I am so glad they did! My partner and I have had one heck of a time navigating this market, but Ashton has made everything so much smoother. Her knowledge, expertise, and guidance is unmatched. We found a home that we loved but we had to walk away from for personal reasons, but Ashton didn't let that slow us down. We are still looking for "our home", and Ashton has been incredibly patient and kind. She is always so timely and effective in her communication. I am so glad we have her on our side!”

— Matt C.

“I came to Ashton with a big ask: find me a house and find it quick.  I had two weeks to find a house and be under contract. I knew it wouldn’t be easy but she was confident we could make it happen. She wasted no time in getting started and had several showings lined up that day.  I was blown away by her commitment to make this happen for me.  She was always available for anything I needed whether it was questions about the buying process or wanting to see a new property.  We were often in homes within hours of them being listed which was exactly what needed to happen in this market.  She was also constantly following up on previous properties to keep me updated on price changes or availability.  Ashton also has such creative vision for a home’s potential and helped me to see possibilities that I would not have considered otherwise. Through her dedication and sheer hustle we were able to find my home within my timeline!  The negotiation process proved to be the trickiest part of it all but she effortlessly managed the emotions of all involved and kept both sides happy.  Overall I would absolutely work with Ashton again and feel that anyone who gets the opportunity to do so is in excellent hands.”

— Robert S.

“Ashton is a star. She handles her clients in the most friendly and joyful manner of anyone I've ever dealt with. She is efficient, solution oriented, and professional. Her client service skills are an example for ALL to follow. We continue to stay in touch as we have become friends as a result of our experiences with her. We simply love her.”

— Diane A.

“Ashton and Lauren were amazing to work with. 10/10 They explained the process each step of the way and went out of their way to ensure our experience as first-time sellers went smoothly. Thank you Town & Mountain!!”

“I can't say enough amazing things about my experience with Ashton buying my first home! I've always heard how stressful the process can be and much to my surprise that was not my experience AT ALL!! I don't know how Ashton did it but somehow she shielded me from the stressful moments allowing me to relax into the bliss of the home buying process and becoming a homeowner!

We were looking for my dream home for 10 months. Ashton was incredibly giving of her time. When I would start feeling hesitant to reach out to her to look at houses I wasn't sure about she encouraged me and ensured me over and over again that it was not a waste of her time and this was all a part of the home buying process, that seeing what you don't want helps you know what you do want. She was absolutely right. It was incredibly helpful and I am so grateful for her patience and encouragement.

Ashton is so knowledgeable of the Asheville market and real estate in general. This was obvious to me right away which made it very easy to put 100% of my trust in her with every step. She took the time to help me understand all the ins and outs of the home buying process and I learned so much along the way. I feel so lucky to have had such a positive experience buying my first home and Ashton is the reason! Thank you Ashton! Unlimited dinners at my house for you!”

“Lauren worked with us and helped us from the very beginning figuring out the areas to look at and the types of homes to look for. We never felt unheard/ignored, our questions were always followed with a prompt and thorough answer. Upon finding the one, she was on top of putting together our offer and talking us through the process. Through our due diligence period, Lauren and Ashton were on top of helping us set up inspections and determining which inspections we should get. They both went up to bat for us during negotiations and kept a constant stream of communication as the contract was finalized. We never felt out of the loop, or without guidance through the whole buying process. We cannot reiterate how thorough and effective our communication was throughout the entire process. We would gladly use either of them in the future.”

— Jonathan W.

“My wife and I had such a great experience buying our first home with Ashton and Lauren. Not only were they super knowledgeable, but also super quick to get us into properties so we could look at them. Could not recommend them more.”

“My husband and I recently purchased a home (mid August 2022) in the Asheville area and there is no way we could have done it without Ashton Peters! From Day 1, she was an absolute JOY to work with. In our first meeting with her, she took the time to get to know us and find out what we were looking for. She understood exactly what we wanted and gave us helpful and honest information about the insane housing market that we were anxious about stepping into. She put us at ease by taking the time to explain everything in the process of looking for/purchasing a home and what it meant to work with her. She was extremely organized, professional (yet still so much fun!), patient, kind, thoughtful, encouraging and supportive through every step of the way. She always made us feel like a priority and made a point to check in with us when the market was dismal. She was prompt in scheduling any house viewings that we were interested in and made accommodations if she wasn’t able to take us to the houses herself (COVID times). But most importantly, Ashton never EVER made us feel pressured. When we finally found the home we were considering putting an offer on, she took the time to discuss it thoroughly with us and ensure it was the right decision. Ashton was extremely pivotal in submitting our offer to the sellers in a timely fashion, working through due diligence, handling negotiations, and organizing closing. As first-time homebuyers, she held our hands through each step of the process and was there for us whenever we had any little question or concern. She gave wonderful recommendations during due diligence, including everything from home inspectors and plumbers to lawyers and insurance providers (and more!), and she always kept our best interests in mind. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident in purchasing our home. We were able to close at a price we felt good about, with knowledge and understanding of the repairs we needed to make, and with excitement about our future on the property. It is all thanks to Ashton! Not only do we have a new home that we love, but we have also gained a sweet friend who we trust and appreciate more than words can express.”

“Lauren & Ashton at Town and Mountain Realty truly went above and beyond for my wife and I during our recent home purchase in Asheville. During our search, we had initially found a property we really liked, but then when the home inspection came back, there were red flags all over the place. Lauren and Ashton guided us during these negotiations, which ultimately resulted in our withdrawing our offer, due to the seller not disclosing prior water damage. We were so grateful to have them on our side during this process and ultimately Lauren and Ashton helped us to close on a much better property in Asheville. Their commitment to excellence showed through during every step of our home buying process. I would highly recommend working with them on your next real estate transaction, as my wife and I were both extremely pleased with their professionalism and local area knowledge of Asheville, NC.”
