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.
Bought a Single-Family home in Canton, NC. Terrie is amazing, she will keep you updated, always respond, always be truthful, and always have a great smile, help you get to the closing, knows the area. -M.V.
Bought a Single Family in Franklin, NC. Great agent, very patient with our multiple questions and property viewings! Terrie is an expert on real estate, paperwork, and Franklin area. Wealth of knowledge on properties and associated processes to bid, request inspections and closing. Would not hesitate to contact her again as our agent. - F.Z.
Terrie started helping find our vacation home immediately after we contacted her. She is very dependable, reliable, and knowledgeable. It took a little while to find the right one and she never got frustrated, always guiding us in the steps to take to finish the process. I will always use her as our realtor in the future if needed. -E.B.
Bought a Single-Family home in Franklin, NC. Terrie looked for us while we a still were in FL and found us the perfect home. Terrie knew what we were looking for and never quit until she found it. She will always be my realtor, even though we are in our forever home. -M.E.

We have bought and sold more than fifteen properties. Terrie by far was the most enjoyable to work with. Have purchased two times with Terrie. -B.H.
Bought a Single-Family home in Franklin, NC. If you’re looking for someone who is dedicated, hardworking and willing to go above and beyond for someone else, Terrie is it!!! I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us during this home buying process. Trying to purchase a home during the pandemic was quite a roller coaster ride, but she was able to get the job done right on schedule! There are not enough words to express how thankful we are for Terrie Prestia. She was always just a call/text away and she knew exactly what we needed/ wanted and was able to check off every box on our must have list! Not to mention our 3-year-old son acts as if she’s his “Aunt Terrie” now, but that just goes to show you how awesome she really is!! If we ever decide to buy/sell again she will always be my go-to!! -S.
Bought a Single-Family home in Waynesville, NC. Terrie is awesome! She helped us find our perfect mountain home. She is so responsive and always goes above and beyond! She is knowledgeable and provided great guidance to us since it had been 20 plus years since we had purchased a home. She is willing to drive all over the place to show you a house. Not to mention having to put up with us, not that easy! Thank you, Terrie, for all your hard work and patience. If you are looking for a realtor that will have your back, support you during a stressful time and do so with a constant smile, call Terrie! -R.J.
Bought a home in NC 28734. Terrie Prestia is without a doubt the most knowledgeable and courteous Realtor in Western NC. The inventory is extremely low in Western NC, and we wanted a larger home for our 3 children and at least 10 acres. Terrie found us a home that had only been listed for 7 days. Terrie advised us to make an offer quickly if we liked the home. This was the best advice! Our offer was accepted with a seller contribution to closing costs. We love our home so very much and we will forever be grateful to Terrie Prestia .-J.R.
