Owners Only Real Estate provided stellar service and have my highest recommendation. They walked me through the process of selling my home step-by-step, made sure I knew what to expect, and offered expert advice that helped me through the negotiations. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and made the selling of my home seamless, and my home was under contract within 24 hours!

Working with Owners Only Real Estate was effortless even though I was far away from the location of the property. There were many personal obstacles to consider as well. They took care of everything. The sale was quick because they didn’t waste a moment getting to work! They will work hard for you too. They are also honest. Honesty and integrity is difficult to find in real estate. I will work with them again!

Jason and his team made my whole selling experience the absolute easiest process I've ever been through. From first contact through to the closing, they were in touch every step of the way. Jason's method for showings and determining the best selling price were spot on. My house had two days of showings and we had an offer the next day. The team at Owners Only is very friendly and knowledgeable and always available for any and all of your real estate needs. I wish all real estate transactions were this easy. I couldn't be happier!

You delivered more than I could ever expect. I will alway recommend you and your staff and you know you are my guy now that I will be looking again soon to repurchase. Thank you Jason, I'm proud to call you friend.

Selling our home was a painful experience before we found Owners Only Real Estate.
We hired/"fired" three previous real estate companies. Owners Only Real Estate came to our rescue. They actually work for you. GREAT bunch of people!! We had several offers; house sold quickly for more than listing price. No hassles or problems. Thank you Jason and your team of professionals. Well done!!

Everyone at Owners Only Real Estate was such an enormous help! Buying a home was a daunting new process for me and I was given so much thorough and transparent information and assistance with every step. Because of their insight and expertise, I was able to find and make the move on a home that I love. I would highly recommend Owners Only Real Estate for anyone looking to buy or sell!

I couldn’t be happier with how smoothly this went for me, especially from a distance. I never imagined it would be so easy or happen so quickly. I was actually pretty emotional about it yesterday, because this was a bittersweet sale for me. I had a lot of great memories from that home and hope the new owners will be equally as happy there as I was.
I’ve posted a review on Zillow and on Facebook. I will definitely recommend Owners Only Real Estate to anyone else who has real estate needs.
Thanks for making this a great experience!

You are totally the best! I've been handing out your cards like hotcakes this week! We love our house even more now than we did one year ago. It's a home now, and we've stocked up a year of lovely memories so far. Many more in the making! Thank you Owners Only Real Estate!

After interviewing six companies in the Asheville area, we found Owners Only Real Estate. They spent time answering all our questions, providing objective data regarding the market, homes in our area and tons of comps. The Owners Only Real Estate team is amazing! They are so knowledgeable, positive and optimistic. Our house was under contract in less than a week!! Their closing coordinator walked us through the process every step of the way. They stayed on top of things, followed up as necessary and were a pleasure to work with! I recommend Owners Only Real Estate and think you would be hard pressed to find a better team of professionals!

I am fully confident the choice of Owners Only Real Estate is the correct choice for any of your real estate needs.

I very much enjoyed working with Owners Only Real Estate. They sold my house in Candler for me and they were great at negotiating with buyers. They went out of their way to work with me to make sure that I was able to get what I needed financially from the sale of the house. I would highly recommend Owners Only Real Estate to anyone looking to work with a down to earth real estate team who are experts in their field.

Fred and I would like to thank you for the great job you did selling our house.
We had it listed with another agent for a while and he basically didn’t work very hard.
The economy was down when we listed it with you but you went straight to work.
You called other Realtors and buyers, passed out flyers to our neighbors and did a lot of internet marketing.
Within 30 days we were shopping for our dream home at the beach!
We greatly appreciate all the work you did and we love our new home.
Thank you so much to you and everyone at Owners Only Real Estate!

Thank you for the opportunity to work together on the sale of 1533 Fork Creek Road in Saluda.

It was a pleasure working with you on the sale of 53 Indiana Ave and 53 Strathmore. I hope you know how much we appreciate your contributions towards these successful closings. It is demonstrated service, such as yours, that elevates our collective professional reputation. Thank you. We look forward to co-brokering many sales with you in the years to come.

If you're looking to sell your house, I highly recommend the talented team at Owners Only Real Estate. They went above and beyond to make sure all of our questions were answered, that we knew exactly what the process was (since we were brand new to selling), and negotiated the best possible deal for us. We ended up with multiple offers over asking price, which was proof that the Owners Only Real Estate pricing strategy was a home run. Owners Only Real Estate is professional and fantastic to work with!
Buying or selling, I'd recommend Owners Only to anyone!

I truly regret not using Jason Brodsky as my selling agent. If I had, I would have not only made more money, but also saved myself so much time and agony. Jason didn't tell me what I wanted to hear. He's honest and accurate. He gives you the unvarnished truth. I ended up going with another agent who did tell me what I wanted to hear, and I believe basically fed me a line of BS to secure me as a client. Jason doesn't do that. He's honest, and he's skilled.
I was looking to sell my 27.75 acre property with two houses 35 minutes from Asheville. I called Jason. My mother (who lived in one of the houses, while my children and I lived in the other), and I liked Jason immediately. He was friendly and communicative, easy to talk to.
He took a look at both houses and recommended we put them on the market at $700K, create a bidding war, and get them sold for more than $700,000. He showed us his methodology, and he had a detailed plan.
Here comes the awful part. I then talked to another realtor. A "land specialist." In trying to sell this property, I came across several land specialists. They show up projecting a cross between Hemingway and Indiana Jones, I wouldn't be surprised to see one in jodhpurs and tweeds. The impression they're trying for is "gentleman farmer." They do a lot of implying they run in wealthy circles among a jet set crowd whose passion is snapping up land for cash, that they have only to make a phone call to get you a cash offer.
The land specialist recommended I put the property on the market for $950K. I therefore chose him as a rep over Jason. It was sheer numbers. $950 is more than $700. That was my thinking. It was as simple as that.
The property languished on the market with lots of showings but no offers for three months at $950,000. I took out a loan for living expenses while I waited for it to sell. My agent was content to let it languish. He thought he was doing a great job.
After three months, I dropped the price. I think I dropped it to $799K the first time. Lots of showings but no offers. I dropped it again. Same thing: showings but no offers. Then I dropped it a third time. This time I dropped it to Brodsky's recommendation. About a week after dropping it to Brodsky's recommended price, I had a viable offer.
Brodsky was right. And I would have saved thousands on living expenses and a loan had I simply engaged him from the start. I also would have made more money. Rather than coming from a position of weakness I would have come from a position of strength. Finally, I would not have lived through the nearly five month of anxiety and stress had I initially gone with Brodsky's accurate recommendation.
I am so impressed that he was so dead-on accurate regarding my sale price. This was not an easy property to price and he nailed it.
I also feel terrible that he was penalized in this instance for being honest and good at his job. As someone who is honest and tries to do a good job with everything I do, this killed me.
I do firmly believe, however, that any professional's reputation depends on the long game. For example, I will use Brodsky in the future for sure if I can. The land guy who sold me false promises, I don't want anything more to do with. Honesty and skill matter!

We are so glad we went with Owners Only Real Estate! They were a pleasure to work with and very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. They have an excellent marketing approach, and because of their marketing strategy we had 4 solid offers (SOME CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN ASKING PRICE) within 3 days of listing! If we ever sell property again, we WILL use Owners Only Real Estate, NO question!!

Owners Only Real Estate was a pleasure to work with. They were personable, responsive and possess an excellent knowledge of the Asheville market. Their approach worked really well for us and they were always available to take our calls and answer our questions. And they never gave up. They never got discouraged or stopped working hard for us. We couldn’t be happier.

Jason and his team at Owners Only Real Estate were very professional and made the process of selling my home very easy from start to closing; his strategy with asking price and a brief showing window with an offer deadline generated significant interest and competing offers above asking price, and they were strong advocates for my terms all the way through. When I sell again, I will undoubtedly trust Owners Only Real Estate... they know what they are doing in this competitive market.

I live out of state and needed help!
Jason and the staff at Owners Only Real Estate took on the challenge of preparing and marketing a property I needed to sell even though I couldn't travel there. As some matters arose, the Owners Only team managed to resolve them professionally and impressively. My only regret I have is that I only had the one home for them to sell. Highly Recommend!

"Jason and the team at Owners Only were super professional and not pushy. They got me a much higher selling price than other realtors thought they could get. It was a very pleasant profit to an investment I had bought before the last 2007-2008 crash, and I had lost hopes of making a profit but Jason helped me get a large profit."

We have been so blessed to quickly sell with the professional expertise of Owners Only Real Estate. Jason quickly got a photographer out when the blooms were perfect in the yard and had immediate interest with buyers! Within a week of showings we had multiple offers & was on our way to selling our home! We are so appreciative of everyone’s help & know it takes a village to list and sell a home. This team is on top of it all!

I appreciate your help selling my properties! I was ably to pay off my home on Lake Keowee after selling my properties in NC, so have been able to live debt free since. I play pickleball, swim, and boat. Thanks for being a part of selling my property! May God bless you and your family and bless and prosper your company.

"I couldn’t have asked for a better agent. I was trying to sell a home that not only needed a lot of work, but a house that had a lot of “junk” on the property. Everyone at this office was so professional and stayed on top of things. No matter what the situation was, I was always emailed or called back with an answer and/or an update. Thank you all for such an amazing experience and for the friendships made as well! "

My husband and I can't say enough good things about this company. They were so easy to work with and honestly restored our faith in realtors. We had a terrible experience with our last agent and when we decided to sell our current home knew we would go with someone new. Jason was amazing every step of the process and everyone on his team was great too! They responded to every call/email quickly and didn't mind answering my insane questions. Shout out to Valerie for all of her help in getting paperwork done and making sure our buyers agent was on top of everything. If you want to sell your home call them! You won't regret that decision.
