"Tom did a fantastic job for us. His communication was excellent which is how we happened to go with him from the beginning. He was knowledgable with every aspect of real estate and the purchasing process. We would highly recommend Tom!"

by Bonnie B.

"I contacted Tom of TK Mountain Realty on a Sunday with an urgent request to help us purchase a piece of land adjacent to ours and secure it for our family for the long term. Tom immediately went into action, going above and beyond to help us successfully get this property. He worked with us through all of our unique needs. It was wonderful working with Tom. He has a natural knack and creativity in working through difficult situations like the one we presented. His communication through the entire process was unmatched. He came up with a very creative solution and helped us close in a very short timeframe. Thanks to Tom, our family will enjoy this property for a generation, and hopefully more. I would recommend him to anyone."

by Ryan B.

"Tom is an amazing realtor who went above and beyond to help us find our home. We bought a new construction and Tom was very knowledgeable about the builder and what to look for when buying new constructions. He knows the Asheville area well and provided us with very valuable information that helped guide our decision. When we could not make the home inspection, Tom was willing to attend on behalf of us and provided us with many photos and kept us updated on the home inspection. He also noticed things during the home inspection that the inspector missed. We are so grateful for Tom and all he did to help us as our realtor. We highly Recommend Tom and would absolutely use him again!"

by Caroline H.

"My wife and I relocated to Western NC and needed a reputable realtor to guide us with the local area and buying process. Based on previous experiences, we were hesitant to go to a 'box store' as the agent may not be as experienced or engaged as we would demand. I did some internet research and came across Tom's TK Mountain Realty site and was impressed! A retired USAF Captain, Tom is an independent business owner/broker and this really attracted us to his services - call it a more personal, boutique experience. To be honest, while we were happy we chose Tom to represent us on day one, our expectations were tempered simply due to previous real estate buying experiences. Bottom line? Tom absolutely outperformed our expectations in every way! Excellent communication, full transparency throughout the process, all types of tips and pointers throughout the buying process. He was clearly our professional advocate at every step from house hunting, inspections, negotiations and all the way to close. Having Tom work for us not only allowed us to find the house of our dreams, he made the process painless and clear. And, I am confident we saved some money due to his experience and ability to navigate all aspects of the buying process. We highly recommend utilizing Tom for your real estate needs - you will be ecstatic with the results!"

by Brett R.

"Tom was great to work with and went out of his way to visit the properties and provide photos and videos when I could not visit. It was a seamless process and I ended up with a great mountain place, so I couldn't be happier."

by Zach B.

"Tom Kerry just goes above and beyond for clients 'great & small'! I had a very limited budget but he never failed to do the search and assist me 100%! Very professional and easy to reach at all times!"

by Susan D.

"We are so grateful that Tom came into our life at just the right time! From the beginning introduction online, he connected with us in a professional and caring way that immediately made us realize we wanted to work with him. His extensive experience and knowledge of the area set him apart from other potential realtors. His skillful listening and kind demeanor made us feel like he totally understood what we needed. Tom also coached us through all the steps and went above and beyond to support a successful outcome, even meeting with a plumber when we were unable to be there after the closing! Because of all he did for us we were able to purchase our dream vacation home on a picturesque mountainside! Thank you, Tom!"

by Laura K.

"Our journey to find a mountain home began 2 years ago. We enlisted Tom Kerrey of TK Mountain Realty to assist us in the process. Tom never gave up on our lists of dreams for the perfect mountain home and was always patient and kind as we filtered through the many houses we considered! His vast knowledge and professional expertise made buying a second home as simple and enjoyable as possible. His attention to detail, gathering information, and finding sources was very beneficial. We highly recommend Tom to help you in your journey to find your perfect home."

by Jennifer T.

Tom is a great realtor! I highly recommend him if you are looking to purchase a home in WNC. We were very lucky to have found him. Real estate transactions are not always easy and you want someone who knows how to handle and get through the tense, disagreeable issues that can arise. His timely communication is outstanding and he works super hard to make the deal happen in order to reach a successful closing. Tom gave us full tours around neighborhoods he knew we would like after we told him what we were looking for. It was very nice to have this, as most realtors will just unlock a front door for you. He was our personal tour guide and shared so much information with us as we viewed these areas for the first time. He shared our excitement for the neighborhoods we were seeing, which made it an enjoyable, exciting experience overall. He does not forget about you the day your property closes either. He followed up with us the day we arrived at the property after closing to confirm we made it ok and to check if we needed anything. He also followed up to find us some contractors we needed for work we wanted to do after closing. I would recommend him to all!

We recently closed on our dream mountain home, and we couldn't have done it without Tom! From start to finish, he was on the ball and genuinely cared about helping us find a home we'd truly love. He took the time to walk us through every step of the buying process, making sure we always felt informed and supported. When an unexpected septic issue came up, Tom handled it with both tact and firmness, advocating for us while keeping everything on track. It was clear throughout the entire process that he had our best interests at heart. We wholeheartedly recommend Tom to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely wonderful realtor. Doesn't hurt that he's pretty funny, too! (But don't tell him I said that.) Thank you so much for helping make our dream a reality! :)
