Robert and Terrie Prestia assisted my husband and I with the purchase of a cabin in Franklin NC. I have worked with many real estate brokers and agents on several real estate transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Terrie and Robert are one of best agent/ broker we have ever used. We can’t say enough about their professionalism and knowledge within the industry and community. Both have high integrity and are very conscientious and tenacious, always keeping the client’s best interests in mind. Our real estate purchase was a small transaction relative to the size of properties and transactions they normally handle but they treated my husband and I with the same professionalism and courtesies one would expect for a very large transaction. They were extremely responsive to questions, often responding immediately to our late-night emails after midnight. Our transaction went very smoothly, and we closed on time. We highly recommend them and would use them for any future needs.

(Recent Zillow Reviews) 5-star: “Connie Millsaps is the best real estate agent that I’ve ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable about the process, the area and the real estate business in general.

She found us the perfect home at the perfect price. She counseled us during the process, gave us expert advice and treated us like we were family.

I would highly recommend Connie to anyone looking to buy real estate in The Western North Carolina mountains. You won’t be disappointed.”

5-star: “Outstanding! Connie Millsaps was knowledgeable, organized, and professional. Connie was very helpful with ideas about staging the home for optimal buyer interest. I had moved away from the area so negotiations and contract changes could have been a challenge but Connie worked hard to keep the process moving.

She was very responsive throughout the whole process. I could not believe that the house sold so quickly. I would highly recommend Connie!”

5-star: “Connie Millsaps was at the heart of my “out of state” home purchase!

She is super responsive and put my mind at ease throughout this experience which was not easy since I was located 4 states away! Always available for my calls & texts!

I called her with 2 days notice to view 3 different homes and of course she had each one of them ready for me that weekend! It didn’t end there - she was even with me during my closing! Her contacts in the area allowed me to have a smooth purchase in every way without any pressure at all! I will always recommend Connie toanyone I know looking to purchase in the area!”
